AML1-ETO and CCND2 overexpression¬ cooperate to drive acute myeloid leukemia initiation and progression


ABSTRACT: Increasing numbers of clinical cohorts have detected CCND2 mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), especially in the subtype of AML with t(8;21) translocation. As known, this AML subtype is characterized by the formation of AML1-ETO fusion gene. However, AML1-ETO fusion gene alone is not sufficient to drive leukemia development, additional mutations are required for leukemogenesis. Here, we aim to investigate whether mutated CCND2 can cooperate with AML1-ETO fusion gene to drive leukemia initiation and progression. In our previous study, the conditional AML1-ETO knock-in mouse model (AML1/ETO mouse), which represented a pre-leukemia stage as myeloproliferative neoplasm phenotype, was established. To confirm whether the AML1-ETO and CCND2 mutation can cooperate to drive leukemia, the mice transduction and transplantation model harboring both AML1-ETO and CCND2 gene (both wildtype and mutant) were established. Upon the assessment of the phenotype, biological features and survival of the mice, only the mice overexpressing the AML1-ETO and CCND2 simultaneously were eventually progressed to leukemia. Besides, compared to mice overexpressing AML-ETO gene alone, mTOR and cell cycle-related pathways were significantly enriched in mice harboring both AML1-ETO and CCND2. And the selective mTOR inhibitor, Everolimus, can reduce the leukemia burden and prolong the survival of this group of mice. In conclusion, we confirmed that introduction of the CCND2 gene into the AML/ETO pre-leukemia mice can trigger the development of leukemia. We also confirmed that CCND2 overexpression resulted in the upregulation of the mTOR pathway and inhibiting the pathway may be a therapeutic agent for this subtype of leukemia.
