Project description:Eukaryotic ribosomal RNA carries diverse posttranscriptional modifications, among which the evolutionarily conserved 2’-O-methylation (2’-O-Me) occurs at more than 100 sites and is essential for ribosome biogenesis. Plasticity of 2´-O-Me in ribosomes and its functional consequences in human disease are not yet known. Here, we present the full rRNA 2’-O-Me landscape (ribomethylome) of human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) through profiling 94 patient samples as well as 21 normal hematopoietic samples of 5 different lineages. While interior modification sites in functional centers are persistently fully 2’-O-methylated in human AMLs, methylation on ribosome exterior sites is unprecedentedly dynamic. Higher 2’-O-methylation on exterior dynamic sites is associated with leukemia stem cell (LSC) signatures. Forced expression of enzymatically active but not of the catalytic defect 2’-O-methyltransferase FBL induces AML stemness and accelerates leukemogenesis in patient-derived xenografts. Mechanistically, ribomethylome dynamics shifted mRNA ribosome translation preferences. High rRNA 2’-O-Me enhances translation of amino acid transporters enriched in optimal codons and subsequently increases intra-cellular amino acid levels. Methylation on a single exterior modification site affects leukemia stem cell activity. The Guanosine 1447 on the small subunit ribosomal RNA is the most variable site in primary AMLs. Gm1447 is increased in leukemia stem cell populations compared to non-leukemogenic blast cells and AML specimens with higher Gm1447 are enriched for leukemia stem cell genes. Comparison of Gm1447high and Gm1447low ribosome structure solved by cryo-electron microscopy demonstrated disassociation of LYAR from Gm1447low ribosomes. Suppression of Gm1447 alone is sufficient to suppress translation of amino acid transporters, resulting in decreased cellular amino acid levels and leukemia stem cell activity. Taken together, our data reveal the dynamic FBL-mediated rRNA 2'-O-Me landscape as a novel epitranscriptomic level of control employed by leukemic stem cells and may enable new strategies to target human AML.

Project description:In this study, we use pre-malignant cells from different Cebpa mutant acute myeloid leukemia (AML) models. We have used conditional KO models (CreLoxP) and isolated hematopoietic cells shortly after induction of recombination, in order to look at pre-leukemic cells, which have acquired the first hit, but not yet undergone full malignant transformation. We have sorted granulocyte-macrophage progenitors (GMPs) and the more immature population pre-granulocyte-macrophages (preGMs) from pre-leukemic mice. We analyzed gene-expression profiles in order to find deregulated genes, which make the cells more prone to undergo transformation.

Project description:Persistent therapy-resistant leukemic progenitor cells (LPC) are a main cause of disease relapse and recurrence in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Specific LPC-targeting therapies may thus improve treatment outcome of AML patients. We demonstrate that LPCs present human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-restricted cancer antigens that induce T cell responses allowing for immune surveillance of AML. Using a mass spectrometry-based immunopeptidomics approach we characterized the antigenic landscape of patient LPCs and identify AML/LPC-associated HLA-presented antigens as well as mutation-derived and cryptic neoepitopes as prime targets for development of T cell-based immunotherapeutic approaches. We observed frequent spontaneous memory T cells targeting these AML/LPC-associated antigens in AML patients and showed that antigen-specific T cell recognition and HLA class II immunopeptidome diversity impacts clinical outcome. Our results pave the way for implementation of AML/LPC-associated antigens for T cell-based immunotherapeutic approaches to specifically target and eliminate residual LPCs in AML patients.

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs) with the NUP98-NSD1 or MLL gene rearrangement (MLL-r) share transcriptomic profiles featured with stemness-related gene signatures and display poor prognosis in the clinic. However, the molecular underpinnings of AML aggressiveness and stemness remain far from clear. Here, we report that the enzymatic activity of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) is crucial for maintenance of tumorigenicity in NUP98-NSD1+ AML, consistent to its role in MLL-r AML. Transcriptomic analysis revealed Kdm5b, a lysine demethylase gene carrying the “bivalent domain” chromatin feature in AML, to be directly repressed by PRC2. While ectopic expression of Kdm5b suppressed AML growth, its depletion in AML not only promoted tumorigenicity but also significantly attenuated anti-AML effects by PRC2 inhibitors, thus demonstrating an involvement of the PRC2-|Kdm5b axis for AML oncogenesis. Lower KDM5B expression is positively correlated with poorer prognosis of human AML patients. RNA-seq, ChIP-seq and CUT&RUN based genomic profilings also showed that Kdm5b directly binds to and represses AML stemness genes. In contrast to an essential involvement for its various chromatin-associating domains, Kdm5b’s demethylase function was found to be dispensable for AML suppression, indicating a scaffold role in assembling gene-repressive complexes. Collectively, this study describes a molecular axis involving histone modifiers (PRC2 and Kdm5b) for sustaining the malignant features of AML, implicative of potential therapeutics.

Project description:The t(8;21) Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) Kasumi-1cell line with N822K KIT mutation, is a model system for leukemogenesis. As AML initiating cells reside in the CD34+CD38- fraction, we addressed the refined cytogenomic characterization and miRNA expression of Kasumi-1 cell line and its FACS-sorted subpopulations focussing on this compartment. By conventional cytogenetics, Spectral Karyotyping and array-CGH the cytogenomic profile of Kasumi-1 cells evidenced only subtle regions differentially represented in CD34+CD38- cells. Expression profiling by a miRNA platform showed a set of miRNA differentially expressed in paired subpopulations and the signature of miR-584 and miR-182 upregulation in the CD34+CD38- fraction.
