Project description:Histone H3 lysine 4 tri-methylation (H3K4me3) is abundant in MLL-rearranged (MLL-r) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells, but the enzymes responsible and their roles remain unclear. In this study, we perform a CRISPR-tiling screen against known H3K4 methylation modifiers in MLL-r AML model. We found the non-redundant roles of H3K4 methyltransferase SETD1B for growth regulation in NrasG12D or FLT3-ITD-expressing AML cells that exhibit cytokine-independent growth. The disruption of SETD1B catalytic SET domain causes cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, cell differentiation and a downregulation of gene expression, especially in the MYC pathway. H3K4me3 and SETD1B are distributed to the gene body of Myc, and the loss of SETD1B SET domain result in a significant decrease in H3K4me3 breadth. Overexpression of MYC significantly restores the growth defect and transcriptional perturbation in SETD1B SET domain mutant cells. In the meantime, the expression of MYC does not rescue the reduced H3K4me3 breadth and RNA polymerase II elongation in SETD1B mutant cells. A disruption of H3K4 demethylase KDM5C enhances global H3K4me3 level and promotes the proliferation of AML cell, and partially rescues the defective cell growth of SETD1B SET domain mutant cells. These data indicate that SETD1B is required for both H3K4me3 breadth and Myc expression to support advanced AML cell proliferation. Thus, a thorough understanding of the SETD1B-mediated H3K4me3 breadth will be critical for the development of markers and therapies for leukemia subtypes that are MYC-dependent.

Project description:Expression of functionally important genes is often tightly regulated at both transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. We reported previously that TET1, the founding member of the TET methylcytosine dioxygenase family, plays an essential oncogenic role in MLL-rearranged acute myeloid leukemia (AML), where it is overexpressed owing to MLL-fusion-mediated direct up-regulation at the transcriptional level. Here we show that the overexpression of TET1 in MLL-rearranged AML also relies on the down-regulation of miR-26a, which directly negatively regulates TET1 expression at the post-transcriptional level. Through inhibiting expression of TET1 and its downstream targets, forced expression of miR-26a significantly suppresses the growth/viability of human MLL-rearranged AML cells, and substantially inhibits MLL-fusion-mediated mouse hematopoietic cell transformation and leukemogenesis. Moreover, c-Myc, an oncogenic transcription factor up-regulated in MLL-rearranged AML, mediates the suppression of miR-26a expression at the transcriptional level. Collectively, our data reveal a previously unappreciated signaling pathway involving the MLL-fusion/MYC⊣miR-26a⊣TET1 signaling circuit, in which miR-26a functions as an essential tumor-suppressor mediator and its transcriptional repression is required for the overexpression and oncogenic function of TET1 in MLL-rearranged AML. Thus, restoration of miR-26a expression/function holds therapeutic potential to treat MLL-rearranged AML.
