Adhesion GPCR ADGRE2 maintains proteostasis to promote progression in acute myeloid leukemia

ABSTRACT: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive and heterogenous hematological malignancy. In elderly patients, AML incidence is high and has a poor prognosis due to a lack of effective therapies. G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) play integral roles in physiological processes and human diseases. Particularly, one-third of adhesion GPCRs, the second largest group of GPCRs, are highly expressed in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells or lineage cells. Therefore, we investigated the role of adhesion GPCRs in AML and whether they could be harnessed as anti-leukemia targets. Systematic screening of the impact of adhesion GPCRs on AML functionality by combined bioinformatic and functional analyses revealed high expression of ADGRE2 in AML, particularly in leukemic stem cells (LSCs), which was associated with poor patient outcomes. Silencing ADGRE2 not only exerted anti-leukemia effects in AML cell lines and AML patient-derived cells in vitro but also delayed AML progression in xenograft models in vivo. Mechanistically, ADGRE2 activated PLC-β/PKC/MEK/ERK signaling to enhance expression of AP-1 and transcriptionally drive expression of DUSP1, a protein phosphatase. DUSP1 de-phosphorylated Ser16 in the J-domain of the co-chaperone DNAJB1, which facilitated DNAJB1-HSP70 interaction and maintenance of proteostasis in AML. Finally, combined inhibition of MEK, AP-1, and DUSP1 exhibited robust therapeutic efficacy in AML xenograft mouse models. Collectively, this study deciphers the roles and mechanisms of ADGRE2 in AML and provides a promising therapeutic strategy for treating AML.

Transcriptome analysis of G protein-coupled receptors in distinct genetic subgroups of acute myeloid leukemia: identification of potential disease-specific targets

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is associated with poor clinical outcome and the development of more effective therapies is urgently needed. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent attractive therapeutic targets, accounting for approximately 30% of all targets of marketed drugs. Using next-generation sequencing, we studied the expression of 772 GPCRs in 148 genetically diverse AML specimens, normal blood and bone marrow cell populations as well as cord blood-derived CD34-positive cells. Among these receptors, 30 are overexpressed and 19 are downregulated in AML samples compared with normal CD34-positive cells. Upregulated GPCRs are enriched in chemokine (CCR1, CXCR4, CCR2, CX3CR1, CCR7 and CCRL2), adhesion (CD97, EMR1, EMR2 and GPR114) and purine (including P2RY2 and P2RY13) receptor subfamilies. The downregulated receptors include adhesion GPCRs, such as LPHN1, GPR125, GPR56, CELSR3 and GPR126, protease-activated receptors (F2R and F2RL1) and the Frizzled family receptors SMO and FZD6. Interestingly, specific deregulation was observed in genetically distinct subgroups of AML, thereby identifying different potential therapeutic targets in these frequent AML subgroups.

CD97 is a Critical Regulator of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Stem Cell Function

Project description:Despite significant efforts to improve therapies for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), clinical outcomes remain poor. Understanding the mechanisms that regulate the development and maintenance of leukemic stem cells (LSC) is important to reveal new therapeutic opportunities. We have identified CD97, a member of the adhesion class of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), as a frequently upregulated antigen of AML blasts that is a critical regulator of blast function. High levels of CD97 correlate with poor prognosis, and silencing of CD97 reduces disease aggressiveness in vivo. In order to analyze the functional pathways associated with CD97 expression, we generated RNA-sequence data from scrambled shRNA transfected (s-shRNA) and CD97 KD human AML cell line HL60, as well as from MLL-AF9 (MA9) transduced GMPs isolated from CD97-/- and WT mice. These phenotypes are due to CD97’s function to promote proliferation, survival, and the maintenance of the undifferentiated state in leukemic blasts. Collectively, our data credential CD97 as a promising therapeutic target on LSCs in AML.

NRASG12V mediates leukemia self renewal [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Mutant RAS oncoproteins activate signaling molecules that drive oncogenesis in multiple human tumors including acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). However, the specific function of these pathways in AML is unclear. To elucidate the downstream functions of activated NRAS in AML, we employed a murine model of AML harboring Mll-AF9 and NRASG12V. We found that NRASG12V enforced leukemia self-renewal gene expression signatures and was required to maintain an MLL-AF9 and MYB-dependent gene expression program. In a multiplexed analysis of RAS-dependent signaling intermediates, the leukemia stem cell compartment was preferentially sensitive to RAS withdrawal. Use of RAS-pathway inhibitors showed that NRASG12V maintained leukemia self-renewal through mTOR and MEK pathway activation, implicating these pathways as potential targets for cancer stem cell-specific therapies. Mice harboring NRASG12V/Mll-AF9 AML were treated with doxycyline to abolish NRASG12V expression. Leukemia samples were harvested at 24 hour intervals after doxycyline treatment.

C1Q labels a highly aggressive macrophage-like leukemia population indicating extramedullary infiltration and relapse

Project description:Extramedullary infiltration (EMI) is a concomitant manifestation indicating poor prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), yet the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood and therapeutic options are limited. Here, we employed single-cell RNA sequencing on bone marrow (BM) and EMI samples from an AML patient presenting pervasive leukemia cutis. A complement C1Q + macrophage-like leukemia subset which is enriched within cutis and existed in BM prior to EMI manifestations was identified and further verified in multiple AML patients. RNA-sequencing and quantitative proteomics profiling revealed adverse prognosis of patients bearing C1Q + population. C1Q expression endowed leukemia cells with tissue-infiltration ability which could establish prominent cutaneous or gastrointestinal EMI nodules in patient-derived xenograft (PDX) and CDX models. Fibroblasts attracted migration of the C1Q + leukemia cells through surface C1Q-gC1QR recognition and subsequent stimulation of MAFB-TGF-β signaling. Thus, C1Q orchestrates cancer infiltration pathways through communicating with fibroblasts and represents a compelling therapeutic target for EMI.
