Over-expression of Trib1 overcomes self-degradation to induce myeloid leukemia

ABSTRACT: Cop1 encodes a ubiquitin E3 ligase that is well preserved during evolution both in plants and metazoan. In metazoan, C/EBP family transcription factors are Cop1 targets for degradation, and the process is regulated by Tribbles family pseudokinases. Over-expression of Tribbles homolog 1 (Trib1) induces acute myeloid leukemia (AML) via Cop1-dependent degradation of the C/EBP p42 isoform. Here we induce rapid growth arrest and granulocytic differentiation of Trib1-expressing AML by Cop1 conditional knockout (KO) that is associated with transient increase of the C/EBP p42 isoform. The growth suppressive effect by Cop1 KO was canceled by silencing of Cebpa and was reinforced by exogenous expression of p42 isoform. We further identify remarkable increase of the Trib1 protein by Cop1 KO, indicating that the Trib1 protein is self-degraded by the Cop1 degradosome. Cop1 KO modulates gene expression profiles of Trib1-expressing AML depicting hematopoietic cell proliferation and maturation pathways. COP1 downregulation also inhibited proliferation of human AML cells in a TRIB1-dependent manner. Taken together, our results provide new insights into the role of Trib1/Cop1 machinery in the C/EBPa p42-dependent leukemogenic activity, and a novel idea to develop new therapeutics.

Trib1 promotes acute myeloid leukemia progression by modulating transcriptional programs of Hoxa9 [ChIP-seq]

Project description:The pseudokinase Trib1 functions as a myeloid oncogene that recruits E3 ubiquitin ligase COP1 to C/EBP, and interacts with MEK1 to enhance ERK phosphorylation. Close genetic interaction between Trib1 and Hoxa9 has been observed in myeloid leukemogenesis as Trib1 overexpression significantly accelerates Hoxa9-induced leukemia onset. Yet the mechanism how Trib1 functionally modulates Hoxa9 transcription activity is unclear. Here we provide evidence that Trib1 modulates Hoxa9-associated super-enhancers. ChIP-seq analyses identified increased Histone H3K27Ac signals at the super-enhancers such as Erg, Aff3, Spns2 and Coro2 loci, as well as increased mRNA expression of these genes. The modification of super-enhancer activities is mostly achieved by degradation of C/EBP by Trib1 and the MEK/ERK pathway only slightly contributes to the activities. Silencing of Erg abrogates the growth advantage acquired by Trib1 overexpression, indicating that Erg is a critical downstream target of the Trib1/Hoxa9 axis. Moreover, treatment of AML cells with the BRD4 inhibitor JQ1 showed growth inhibition in the Trib1/Erg-dependent manner. Upregulation of ERG by TRIB1 was also observed in human AML cell lines, suggesting that Trib1 is a potential target of Hoxa9-associated AML.

Trib1 regulates mouse LDL metabolism through Cebpa-mediated regulation of the LDL receptor in hepatocytes.

Project description:The Tribbles homolog 1 protein (TRIB1), encoded by the gene TRIB1, has been identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) as likely to be causal of a remarkable number of cardiometabolic traits, including plasma lipids, hepatic steatosis, adiponectin levels, and coronary artery disease. In its best-known function, Tribbles 1 interacts with the ubiquitin ligate COP1 protein to target the transcription factors CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha and beta (CEBP a/b) for proteasomal degradation. We have previously published that specific Trib1 deletion in mice increased de novo lipogenesis, hepatic steatosis, and plasma triglycerides, attributable at least in part to increased protein levels of hepatic Cebpa. However, the mechanism by which Trib1 regulates plasma lipids and specifically LDL-C metabolism remained unknown. In this experiment our aim was to identify possible molecular interactions by which hepatic Trib1 regulates specifically LDL-C metabolism dependently of Cebpa expression. To do this, we compared total gene expression in livers of wild type mice, Trib1, Cebpa and Trib1;Cebpa hepatic deleted mice. Gene expression data was then used in Ingenuity Pathway analysis to identify upstream transcription factors that might be responsible for the gene expression changes observed.

Trib1 promotes the development of acute myeloid leukemia in the Ts1Cje Down syndrome model mouse

Project description:Down syndrome (DS) is caused by trisomy of chromosome 21 and it predisposes to hematological disorders such as transient myeloproliferative disorder and acute megakaryocytic leukemia. Our previous study identified a gain-of-function mutation of TRIB1 encoding a pseudokinase that suppresses C/EBP and enhances MEK/ERK signaling. In this study, we aimed to examine whether Trib1 expression cooperates with trisomy 21 in the development of leukemia. The wild type or R107L mutant Trib1 was retrovirally introduced into bone marrow cells derived from the Ts1Cje Down syndrome model mice or C57Bl6/J mice. Trib1 expression in hematopoietic cells of Ts1Cje mice accelerated the onset of AML development compared with that in wild type mice. Gene expression analysis showed up-regulation of Hox downstream genes and down-regulation of genes for the myeloid differentiation program and C/EBP targets. These results suggest that Trib1-mediated signaling plays an important role in promoting leukemogenesis in Down syndrome. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression in mouse AML

Targeting cis-regulatory elements of FOXO family is a novel therapeutic strategy for induction of leukemia cell differentiation

Project description:Differentiation therapy has been proposed as a promising therapeutic strategy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML); thus, the development of more versatile methodologies that are applicable to a wide range of AML subtypes is desired. Although the FOXOs transcription factor represents a promising drug target for differentiation therapy, the efficacy of FOXO inhibitors is limited in vivo. Here, we show that pharmacological inhibition of a common cis-regulatory element of forkhead box O (FOXO) family members successfully induced cell differentiation in various AML cell lines. Through gene expression profiling and differentiation marker-based CRISPR/Cas9 screening, we identified TRIB1, a complement of the COP1 ubiquitin ligase complex, as a functional FOXO downstream gene maintaining an undifferentiated status. TRIB1 is direct target of FOXO3 and the FOXO-binding cis-regulatory element in the TRIB1 promoter, referred to as the FOXO-responsive element in the TRIB1 promoter (FRE-T), played a critical role in differentiation blockade. Thus, we designed a DNA-binding pharmacological inhibitor of the FOXO-FRE-T interface using pyrrole-imidazole polyamides (PIPs) that specifically bind to FRE-T (FRE-PIPs). The FRE-PIPs conjugated to chlorambucil (FRE-chb) inhibited transcription of TRIB1, causing differentiation in various AML cell lines. FRE-chb suppressed the formation of colonies derived from AML cell lines but not from normal counterparts. Administration of FRE-chb inhibited tumor progression in vivo without remarkable adverse effects. In conclusion, targeting cis-regulatory elements of the FOXO family is a promising therapeutic strategy that induces AML cell differentiation.

Liver gene expression profiles of Tribbles-homolog1 (Trib1)/Ldl-receptor (Ldlr) double-knockout mice against Ldlr-knockout mice

Project description:Genetic variants at the TRIB1 (Tribbles-homolog 1) gene locus are strongly associated with plasma lipid traits and the risk of coronary artery disease in humans. In this study, we analyzed the consequences of Trib1-deficiency (Trib1-/-) on hepatic gene expression in mice on the atherosclerosis-susceptible LDL-receptor deficient (Ldlr-/-) background. Therefore, Trib1-/- mice were crossed onto the Ldlr-/- background to generate double knockout mice (Trib1-/-Ldlr-/-) and fed a semisynthetic, modified AIN76 diet (0.02% cholesterol, 4.3% fat). At 20 weeks of age, Trib1-/-Ldlr-/- mice and Trib1+/+Ldlr-/- control mice were sacrificed and liver tissue was snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C until further processing. Total RNA was isolated from liver tissue (n=8 mice per genotype) and subjected to microarray gene expression analysis.

Mutant CEBPA promotes tolerance to inflammatory stress through deficient AP-1 activation

Project description:The CEBPA transcription factor is frequently mutated in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Mutations in the CEBPA gene, which are typically biallelic, result in the production of a shorter isoform known as p30. Both the canonical 42-kDa isoform (p42) and the AML-associated p30 isoform bind chromatin and activate transcription, but the specific transcriptional programs controlled by each protein and how they are linked to a selective advantage in AML is not well understood. Here, we show that cells expressing the AML-associated p30 have reduced baseline inflammatory gene expression and display altered dynamics of transcriptional induction in response to LPS, consequently impacting cytokine secretion. This confers p30-expressing cells an increased resistance to the adverse effects of prolonged exposure to inflammatory signals. Mechanistically, we show that these differences primarily result from the differential regulation of AP-1 family proteins. In addition, we find that the altered function of the AP-1 member ATF4 in p30-expressing cells alters their response to ER stress. Collectively, these findings uncover a novel link between mutant CEBPA, inflammation and the stress response, potentially revealing a new vulnerability in AML.

Comprehensive Profiling of Mammalian Tribbles Interactomes Implicates TRIB3 in Gene Repression

Project description:The three human Tribbles (TRIB) pseudokinases have been implicated in a plethora of signaling and metabolic processes linked to cancer initiation and progression and can potentially be used as biomarkers of disease and prognosis. While their modes of action reported so far center around protein–protein interactions, the comprehensive profiling of TRIB interactomes has not been reported yet. Here, we have developed a robust mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics approach to characterize Tribbles' interactomes and report a comprehensive assessment and comparison of the TRIB1, -2 and -3 interactomes, as well as domain-specific interactions for TRIB3. Interestingly, TRIB3, which is predominantly localized in the nucleus, interacts with mul-tiple transcriptional regulators, including proteins involved in gene repression. Indeed, we found that TRIB3 repressed gene transcription when tethered to DNA in breast cancer cells. Tak-en together, our comprehensive proteomic assessment reveals previously unknown interacting partners and functions of Tribbles proteins that expand our understanding of this family of pro-teins. In addition, our findings show that MS-based proteomics provides a powerful tool to un-ravel novel pseudokinase biology.

Lenalidomide-mediated enhanced translation of C/EBP?-p30 protein upregulates expression of the anti-leukemic microRNA-181a in acute myeloid leukemia - microRNA Data

Project description:Recently, we showed that increased miR-181a expression was associated with improved outcomes in cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemia (CN-AML). Interestingly, miR-181a expression was increased in CN-AML patients harboring CEBPA mutations, which are usually biallelic and associate with better prognosis. CEBPA encodes the C/EBP? transcription factor. We demonstrate here that the presence of N-terminal CEBPA mutations and miR-181a expression are linked. Indeed, the truncated C/EBP?-p30 isoform, which is produced from the N-terminal mutant CEBPA gene or from the differential translation of wild-type CEBPA mRNA and is commonly believed to have no transactivation activity, binds to the miR-181a-1 promoter and upregulates the microRNA expression. In xenograft mouse models, ectopic miR-181a expression inhibits tumor growth. This regulatory pathway may explain an increased sensitivity to apoptosis-inducing chemotherapy in subsets of AML patients. Altogether, our data provide a potential explanation for the improved clinical outcomes observed in CEBPA-mutated CN-AML patients.

Homodimer-mediated phosphorylation of C/EBPα-p42 S16 modulates acute myeloid leukaemia differentiation through liquid-liquid phase separation [RNA-seq]

Project description:CCAAT/enhancer binding protein α (C/EBPα) regulates myeloid differentiation, and its dysregulation contributes to acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) progress. Clarifying its functional implementation mechanism is of great significance for its further clinical application. Here, we show that C/EBPα regulates AML cell differentiation through liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), which can be disrupted by C/EBPα-p30. Considering that C/EBPα-p30 inhibits the functions of C/EBPα through the LZ region, a small peptide TAT-LZ that could instantaneously interfere with the homodimerization of C/EBPα-p42 was constructed, and dynamic inhibition of C/EBPα phase separation was observed, demonstrating the importance of C/EBPα-p42 homodimers for its LLPS. Mechanistically, homodimerization of C/EBPα-p42 mediated its phosphorylation at the novel phosphorylation site S16, which promoted LLPS and subsequent AML cell differentiation. Finally, decreasing the endogenous C/EBPα-p30/C/EBPα-p42 ratio rescued the phase separation of C/EBPα in AML cells, which provided a new insight for the treatment of the AML.
