Effect of RBM5 knockout or overexpression on transcription in MOLM13 AML cells

ABSTRACT: Background: The oncogenic protein HOXA9 plays a critical role in leukemia transformation and maintenance, and its aberrant expression is a hallmark of most aggressive acute leukemia. Although inhibiting the upstream regulators of HOXA9 has been proven as a significant therapeutic intervention, the comprehensive regulation network controlling HOXA9 expression in leukemia has not been systematically investigated. Results: Here, we perform genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screening in the HOXA9-driven reporter acute leukemia cells. We identify a poorly characterized RNA-binding protein, RBM5, as the top candidate gene required to maintain leukemia cell fitness. RBM5 is highly overexpressed in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients compared to healthy individuals. RBM5 loss triggered by CRISPR knockout and shRNA knockdown significantly impairs leukemia maintenance in vitro and in vivo. Through domain CRISPR screening, we reveal that RBM5 functions through a noncanonical transcriptional regulation circuitry rather than RNA splicing, such an effect depending on DNA-binding domains. By integrative analysis and functional assays, we identify HOXA9 as the downstream target of RBM5. Ectopic expression of HOXA9 rescues impaired leukemia cell proliferation upon RBM5 loss. Importantly, acute protein degradation of RBM5 through auxin-inducible degron system immediately reduces HOXA9 transcription. Conclusions: We identify RBM5 as a new upstream regulator of HOXA9 and reveal its essential role in controlling the survival of AML. These functional and molecular mechanisms further support RBM5 as a promising therapeutic target for myeloid leukemia treatment.

Identification of genome wide Hoxa9 binding sites in primary murine and human AML cells

Project description:Relative overexpression of HOXA9 is a key feature of aggressive AML (acute myeloid leukemia). Here we determined genome wide binding sites of Hoxa9 in primary murine cells transformed by Hoxa9 and in a human AML cell line. In addition global H3K4 monomethylation and H3K27acetylation levels were determined in cells transformed by an inducible Hoxa9-ER construct in Hoxa9-active conditions and 72h after Hoxa9 was inactivated.

Functional Interrogation of HOXA9 Regulome in Leukemia via Endogenous Reporter-based CRISPR/Cas9 screen

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.

The Growth factor independence 1 (GFI1) 36N variant predisposes to Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) by inducing epigenetic changes at the Hoxa9 locus

Project description:GFI136N is a coding Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) in the gene GFI1 that increases the risk for Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) by 60%. It is present in 3-5% of Caucasians and has a prevalence of 12% among AML patients. We generated knockin mice expressing either the human GFI136N variant or the more common GFI136S form and observed that GFI136N, in contrast to GFI136S, lacked the ability to bind to the Gfi1 target gene and leukemia associated transcription factor Hoxa9 in myeloid precursors and failed to initiate the histone modifications that regulate HoxA9 expression. Consistent with this, GFI136N heterozygous AML patients showed increased HOXA9 expression compared to control patients. In the knockin mice, granulo-monocytic pogenitors (GMPs), a bone marrow subset from which AML can arise, show a proliferative expansion in the presence of the GFI136N variant. Finally, the GFI136N variant increased colony formation and proliferation of myeloid precursors induced by the onco-fusion proteins MLL/AF9 or AML1/Eto9a and accelerated the onset of a KRAS-driven myelo-proliferative disease. Our data suggest that GFI136N predisposes to AML by deregulating the expression of Hoxa9, a locus highly relevant for AML, thereby inducing a pre-leukemic state in myeloid precursors that can give rise to AML. 3 samples (2 histone modifications, 1 transcription factor)

Hoxa9/meis1-transgenic zebrafish develops acute myeloid leukemia-like disease with rapid onset and high-penetrance

Project description:HOXA9/MEIS1 plays a synergistic causative role and overexpresses frequently in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Hoxa9/Meis1 transgenic murine results in rapid leukemic transformation of primary bone marrow cells. However, murine model is not suitable to perform a high-throughput phenotypic screen in vivo and identify compounds for AML therapy. A transgenic zebrafish overexpresses hoxa9/meis1 need to generate. We have engineered an inducible transgenic line Tg (drl:hoxa9;hsp70:meis1) harboring hoxa9/meis1 under the draculin (drl) promoter. The downregulation of runx1, c-myb, mpx, mfap4, and gata1 in Tg (drl:hoxa9;hsp70:meis1) embryos indicated enforced hoxa9/meis1 perturbs embryonic hematopoiesis. Importantly, adult Tg (drl:hoxa9;hsp70:meis1) develops malignant myeloid disease with an abundance of myeloid precursor cells, anemia, and high mortality after a latency period (~5-months-aged) with comparable to murine model and human AML patients. Genome-wide transcription changes analysis indicated arrested differentiation genes such as gata2b, notch1b, and gfi1ab are upregulated. Leflunomide, inhibitor of enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) which is a potential option for differentiation therapy of AML, relieves defective hematopoiesis in transgenic embryos and larvae. Collectively, we have identified an inducible malignant myeloid disease transgenic zebrafish model similar to AML and provided a unique opportunity for high-throughput in vivo chemical screening for AML therapy and study the related mechanisms.

MicroRNA-155 is upregulated in Hoxa9/Meis1 leukemia inducing cells but is dispensable for in vivo transformation and leukemia development

Project description:OBJECTIVE: The microRNA miR-155 is upregulated in Hoxa9 and Meis1 leukemia inducing cells (LIC) , and miR-155 accelerates the onset of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) together with Hoxa9 but through largely unknown molecular mechanisms. The impact of miR-155 on accelerated onset of leukemia in the context of Hoxa9 and Meis1 is also unclear. To further resolve this, we performed a gene expression profiling, in the context of Hoxa9 and Meis1 leukemogenesis with miR-155 knocked out. RESULTS: Gene expression profiling of Hoxa9/Meis1 LIC without miR-155 does not delay the onset of AML and the gene expression changes are small

The important role of GPR84 in MLL leukemogenesis

Project description:Beta-catenin signaling is required for establishment of leukemic stem cells (LSCs) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), yet the upstream regulators that can augment this pathway are unknown. Through genome-wide gene expression analysis and functional studies, we identified an important role for GPR84 in MLL AML. Suppression of GPR84 significantly inhibited cell growth in pre-LSCs, reduced LSC frequency and impaired reconstitution of MLL AML. Furthermore, GPR84 conferred a growth advantage to Hoxa9/Meis1a transduced hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Our microarray analysis demonstrated that GPR84 overexpression significantly up-regulated a small set of MLL-fusion targets and beta-catenin co-effectors, and down-regulated a hematopoietic cell cycle inhibitor. These data thus reveal a previously unrecognized role of GPR84 in the maintenance of fully developed AML by sustaining aberrant beta-catenin signaling in LSCs. HSC-derived Hoxa9/Meis1a pre-LSCs were transduced with GPR84 cDNA or empty vector, and replated in methylcellulose supplemented with cytokines. Each group contains triplicate samples.

SCP4-STK35/PDIK1L complex is a dual phospho-catalytic signaling dependency in acute myeloid leukemia

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells rely on phospho-signaling pathways to gain unlimited proliferation potential. Here, we used domain-focused CRISPR screening to identify the nuclear phosphatase SCP4 as a dependency in AML, yet this enzyme is dispensable in normal hematopoietic progenitor cells. Using CRISPR exon scanning and gene complementation assays, we show that the catalytic function of SCP4 is essential in AML. Through mass spectrometry analysis of affinity-purified complexes, we identify the kinase paralogs STK35 and PDIK1L as binding partners and substrates of the SCP4 phosphatase domain. We show that STK35 and PDIK1L function catalytically and redundantly in the same pathway as SCP4 to maintain AML proliferation and to support amino acid biosynthesis and transport. We provide evidence that SCP4 regulates STK35/PDIK1L through two distinct mechanisms: catalytic removal of inhibitory phosphorylation and by promoting kinase stability. Our findings reveal a phosphatase-kinase signaling complex that supports the pathogenesis of AML.
