Project description:This study identifies HOXA9 protein interactome in acute myeloid leukemia cells. Integrated genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic analyses further demonstrated that the HOXA9-SAFB-chromatin complex associates with NuRD and HP1γ to repress the expression of factors associated with differentiation and apoptosis in leukemia maintenance.

Project description:Scaffold Attachment Factor B (SAFB) is a conserved RNA Binding Protein (RBP) that is essential for early mammalian development. However, the RNAs that associate with SAFB in mouse embryonic stem cells have not been characterized. Here, we addressed this unknown using RNA-seq and SAFB RNA immunoprecipitation followed by RNA-seq (RIP-seq) in wild-type mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and in ESCs in which SAFB and SAFB2 were knocked out. The transcript most enriched in SAFB association was the lncRNA Malat1, which contains a series of purine-rich motifs in its 5 end. Beyond Malat1, SAFB predominantly associated with introns of protein-coding genes also through purine-rich motifs. Knockout of SAFB/2 led to down- and upregulation of genes in multiple biological pathways. The nascent transcripts of many downregulated genes associated with high levels of SAFB in wild-type cells, implying that SAFB binding promotes the expression of these genes. Reintroduction of SAFB into double-knockout cells restored gene expression towards wild-type levels, an effect that was again observable at the level of nascent transcripts. Proteomic analyses indicate an enrichment of nuclear speckle-associated, SR proteins in FLAG-tagged SAFB immunoprecipitated samples. Comparison to immunoprecipitates made from FLAG-tagging of another nuclear-enriched RNA-binding protein called HNRNPU (also known as SAF-A) identified both similarities and differences. Perhaps most notably, we observed a stronger enrichment for speckle-associated proteins in SAFB immunoprecipitations and a strong enrichment for paraspeckle-associated proteins in HNRNPU immunoprecipitations. Our findings suggest that among other potential functions in mouse embryonic stem cells, SAFB directly promotes the expression of a subset of genes through its ability to bind purine regions in nascent RNA.

Project description:The transcription factor Meis1 drives myeloid leukemogenesis in the context of Hox gene overexpression but is currently considered undruggable. We therefore investigated whether myeloid progenitor cells transformed by Hoxa9 and Meis1 become addicted to targetable signaling pathways. A comprehensive (phospho)proteomic analysis revealed that Meis1 increased Syk protein expression and activity. Syk upregulation occurs through a Meis1-dependent feed-forward loop. By dissecting this loop, we show that Syk is a direct target of miR-146a, whose expression is indirectly regulated by Meis1 through the transcription factor PU.1. In the context of Hoxa9 overexpression, Syk induces Meis1, recapitulating several leukemogenic features of Hoxa9/Meis1-driven leukemia. Finally, we show that Syk inhibition disrupts the identified regulatory loop, prolonging survival of mice with Hoxa9/Meis1-driven leukemia.

Project description:Analysis of gene expression profile of Hoxa9/Meis1 leukemia cells 6 days after loss of Jmjd1c. Loss of Jmjd1c induces differentiation and Hoxa9/Meis1 leukemia cells. These results provide insight into the role of Jmjd1c in AML with elelvated expression of Hoxa9.

Project description:Importantly increasing evidence shows that Hox genes such as Hoxa9 are key regulators of stem cell self-renewal and hematopoiesis. Hoxa9 is expressed in early hematopoietic progenitor cells and promotes stem cell expansion. In contrast Hoxa9 down regulation is associated with hematopoietic differentiation. In addition to its role in development, HOXA9 has been intensively studied because of its central role in human acute leukemias. Despite their obvious biomedical importance, the mechanisms through which Hoxa9 and its partner proteins exert their downstream functions are poorly understood. Using whole-genome gene expression profiling, we identified direct targets of Hoxa9 in murine MHPs after 4-OHT withdraw, resulting in cell differentiation.

Project description:Rearrangements involving the NUP98 gene resulting in fusions to several partner genes occur in acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes. This study demonstrates that the second FG repeat domain of the NUP98 moiety of the NUP98-HOXA9 fusion protein is important for its cell immortalization and leukemogenesis activities. We demonstrate that NUP98-HOXA9 interacts with MLL via this FG repeat domain and that, in the absence of MLL, NUP98-HOXA9-induced cell immortalization and leukemogenesis are severely inhibited. Molecular analyses indicate that MLL is important for the recruitment of NUP98-HOXA9 to the HOXA locus and for NUP98-HOXA9-induced HOXA gene expression. Our data indicate that MLL is crucial for NUP98-HOXA9 leukemia initiation.

Project description:Aberrant HOXA9 expression is a hallmark of most aggressive acute leukemias, including a vast majority of human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and subtypes of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). HOXA9 overexpression not only predicts poor patient diagnosis and outcome, but also plays critical roles in leukemia transformation and maintenance. Besides in few clinical cases as a translocation partner, HOXA9 gene generally shows lower frequencies of somatic mutations and is rarely amplified, indicating that transcriptional and epigenetic regulatory mechanisms might be predominantly utilized. However, our current understanding on the upstream regulation of HOXA9 in acute leukemia is still very limited, hindering development of effective methods to treat leukemia driven by aberrant HOXA9 expression. To mitigate these challenges, we have established the first HOXA9 endogenous reporter in an MLL-rearranged leukemia cell line to faithfully dictate HOXA9 expression by mCherry. By utilizing the reporter cell line and CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing tools, we have exploited comprehensive loss-of-function screenings to systematically discover novel transcription factors controlling HOXA9 expression. USF2 was discovered as a novel regulator of HOXA9 that directly binds to HOXA9’s promoter. USF2 depletion significantly down-regulated HOXA9 expression. Notably, in patients with MLL-rearranged B-ALL, transcriptional expression of USF2 and that of HOXA9 were positively correlated. In contrast, chromatin looping factor CTCF was dispensable for controlling HOXA9 expression in MLL-rearranged SEM cells. Collectively, these studies have functionally interrogated the regulome of HOXA9 and advance our understanding of the molecular regulation network in HOXA9-driven leukemia.

Using whole-genome gene expression profiling, we identified direct targets of Hoxa9 in murine MHPs after 4-OHT withdraw, resulting in cell differentiation. Bone marrow cells were harvested from 5-Fluorouracil treated female 6-8 week old C57BL/6 mice and transduced with an MSCV-based retrovirus expressing Hoxa9 fused to a modified estrogen receptor ligand binding domain (Hoxa9-ER). Hoxa9-ER cells were washed 3x and resuspended in IL-3+ media with/without 100 nM 4-OHT (Sigma). At selected intervals, cells were removed for flow cytometric analysis using anti-Gr1 and anti-Mac1 antibodies (BD biosciences), morphologic assessment by cytocentrifugation and staining with Diff-Quick reagents (Intl. Med. Equip.), and RNA collection. For RNA, Pellets were lysed in Trizol reagent (Invitrogen) and RNA was extracted following manufacturer's instructions until phase separation, after which RNeasy columns (Qiagen) were employed for further purification. cRNA probes were synthesized at the University of Michigan microarray core. Probes were hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse 430 2.0 array.

Project description:Leukemia is a complex malignancy with hundreds of distinct mutations associated with disease development. Studies have shown that oncogenes cooperate to promote leukemia transformation, however, the downstream effectors of this cooperation are largely unknown. Using a genetically defined mouse model of acute leuekmia, we investigated the regulated of genes downstream of the cooperative oncogenic interaction between BCR-ABL and NUP98-HOXA9 and identified a unique gene signature abberrantly expression in leukemia. Total RNA was isolated from hematopoietic cells transduced with BCR-ABL and Nup98-HOXA9 retroviruses and transplanted into recipient mice. Bone marrow cells were purified by GFP (BCR-ABL) and YFP (NUP98-HOXA9) using FACS.
