Project description:Microarray data of mouse primary E2A-PBX1 leukemias and preleukemia cells were compared to wild-type B-cell progenitor cells Aberrant activation of signaling pathways has been linked to leukemogenesis, however, little is known about cell signaling perturbations induced by fusion transcription factors. To address this, we interrogated activated signaling pathways in a comparative analysis of mouse and human leukemias expressing the chimeric fusion protein E2A-PBX1, which is present in 5-7% of pediatric and 50% of pre-B-cell receptor (preBCR+) ALL. We describe here signaling network remodeling by E2A-PBX1 in pre-B-ALL, which results in hyperactivation of PLCγ2. Depletion of PLCγ2 reduced proliferation of mouse and human ALLs, including E2A-PBX1 leukemias, and increased disease-free survival after secondary transplantation. E2A-PBX1 binds and activates the transcription of its target genes ZAP70, SYK and LCK, which encode kinases upstream of PLCγ2. Efficient shRNA-mediated depletion of the respective upstream kinases decreased cell proliferation and phosphorylated levels of PLCγ2 (pPLCγ2). Pairwise compound knockdown of ZAP70, SYK or LCK showed additive effects on cell growth inhibition, providing a rationale for combination therapy. Inhibition of SYK, LCK and SFK with small molecule inhibitors, including dasatinib, was highly effective in reducing pPLCγ2 and inhibiting proliferation of preBCR+ leukemias in vitro and in vivo. Combination small molecule inhibition of SYK, LCK and SFK showed promising preclinical efficacy for preBCR+/E2A-PBX1+ leukemias. These studies demonstrate that E2A-PBX1 induces signaling pathway perturbations upstream of PLCγ2, which render leukemias amenable to targeted therapeutic inhibition.

Project description:Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality necessitating further improvements in diagnosis and therapy. Targeted therapies directed against epigenetic regulators, which are frequently mutated or misregulated in acute leukemia, are emerging as candidate approaches in preclinical studies and early trials. However, the epigenetic factors involved in most ALLs are not well defined or functionally characterized. In this study, we demonstrate an oncogenic role for the protein lysine methyltransferase SETDB2 in leukemia pathogenesis. It is over-expressed in a wide spectrum of leukemias, required for their maintenance in vitro and in vivo, and its elevated expression correlates with a poor prognosis in clinical cohorts. In a subset of ALL with the preBCR+ phenotype, SETDB2 expression is maintained as a direct target gene of the chimeric transcription factor E2A-PBX1. In this subset, SETDB2 epigenetically suppresses expression of the cell cycle inhibitor CDKN2C through histone H3K9 tri-methylation thus establishing a novel oncogenic pathway subordinate to E2A-PBX1 that silences a major tumor suppressor in ALL. In contrast, SETDB2 was relatively dispensable for normal hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell proliferation. In addition to targeting SETDB2 alone, its knockdown significantly enhanced sensitivity to kinase and epigenetic inhibitors suggesting a potential approach to future combination treatments. Our studies define an epigenetic role for SETDB2 in leukemia pathogenesis, and provide a mechanistic rationale for targeting SETDB2 therapeutically in a subset of leukemia.

Project description:Purpose: Several ALL subtypes have been described depending on their karyotype, cell type, immunophenotype and gene-expression profile. Recently, a novel ALL subtype has been described and is characterized by expression of the pre-B cell receptor (pre-BCR). Interestingly, half of the cases is associated with the chromosomal translocation t(1:19), coding for the chimeric fusion protein E2A-PBX1, which is present in about 5% of pediatric and adult ALL. Using preclinical models, we and other groups have shown very promising preclinical activity of dasatinib in pre-BCR+ ALL and early clinical evidence supports our observations. To study mechanism of acquired dasatinib resistance, we generated dasatinib-resistant pre-BCR+/E2A-PBX1+ cell lines through multiple passages in the presence of increasing drug concentrations. Whole transcriptome analysis of dasatinib-sensitive and resistant ALL cells were performed to detect systematically differentially expressed genes and enriched pathways involved in dasatinib resistance.

Project description:Human B cell lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells carrying MLL-AF4 (SEM; BEL) and E2A-PBX1 (697) gene rearrangements were transduced with the mouse ecotropic receptor to permit subsequent entry of retroviral BCR-ABL1 GFP and GFP empty vectors (EV) pseudotyped with murine ecotropic envelope. GFP expression was measured by flow cytometry. Transductions with BCR-ABL1 GFP and GFP empty vectors (EV) were performed in the presence and absence of 2 mmol/l Imatinib (TKI). Washout of Imatinib in one series of experiments is indicated with an arrow. To study gene expression changes in MLL-AF4 and E2A-PBX1 B cell lineage ALL cells that were transduced with empty vectors (EV), BCR-ABL1 GFP in the presence of Imatinib (BCR-ABL1 OFF), washout of Imatinib (BCR-ABL1 ON) and subsequent re-addition of Imatinib, microarray analyses were performed.

Project description:E2A, a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor, plays a crucial role in determining tissue-specific cell fate, including differentiation of B cell lineages. In 5% of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the t(1,19) chromosomal translocation specifically targets the E2A gene and produces an oncogenic E2A-PBX1 fusion protein. While previous studies have demonstrated oncogenic functions of E2A-PBX1 in cell and animal models, the E2A-PBX1-enforced cistrome, the E2A-PBX1 interactome, and related mechanisms underlying leukemogenesis remain unclear. Here, by unbiased genomic profiling approaches, we identify the direct target sites of E2A-PBX1 in t(1,19)-positive pre-B ALL cells and show that, compared to normal E2A, E2A-PBX1 preferentially binds to a subset of gene loci co-bound by RUNX1 and gene-activating machineries (p300, MED1, and H3K27 acetylation). Using biochemical analyses, we further document a direct interaction between E2A-PBX1 and RUNX1 and show that E2A-PBX1 binding to gene enhancers is dependent on RUNX1, but not the DNA-binding activity harbored within the PBX1 homeodomain of E2A-PBX1. Transcriptome analyses and cell transformation assays further establish a significant RUNX1 requirement for E2A-PBX1-mediated target gene activation and leukemogenesis. Notably, the RUNX1 locus itself is also directly activated by E2A-PBX1, indicating a multilayered interplay between E2A-PBX1 and RUNX1. Collectively, our study provides the first unbiased profiling of the E2A-PBX1 cistrome in pre-B ALL cells and reveals a previously unappreciated pathway in which E2A-PBX1 acts in concert with RUNX1 to enforce transcriptome alterations for the development of pre-B ALL.
