STING is crucial for the survival of AML1-ETO leukemia cells

ABSTRACT: Even though acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with a RUNX1::RUNX1T1 (AE) fusion have a relatively favorable prognosis, approximately 50% relapse within 2.5 years and develop resistance to subsequent chemotherapy1. It is therefore imperative to identify novel therapeutic targets for AE leukemia to improve outcomes. In this study, we unveil that targeting STING effectively suppresses the growth of AE leukemia cells. Both genetic and pharmacological inhibition of STING lead to the diminish of AE leukemia cells. Importantly, in a mouse primary AE leukemia model, STING deletion significantly attenuates leukemogenesis and prolongs the animals' lifespan. Blocking the downstream inflammatory pathway of STING yields similar effects to STING inhibition in AE leukemia cells, highlighting the pivotal role of STING-dependent inflammatory responses in sustaining the survival of AE leukemia cells. Moreover, through a genome-wide CRISPR screen, we identified fatty acid desaturase 2 (FADS2) as a non-canonical factor downstream of STING inhibition that mediates cell death. Inhibition of STING releases FADS2 activity, consequently inducing the synthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and triggering lipid peroxidation-associated cell death2. Taken together, these findings reveal a critical function of STING in the survival of AE-positive AML cells and suggest STING to be a potential therapeutic target for clinical intervention in these patients.

AML1-ETO induced leukemia stem cell self-renewal depends on Plcg1

Project description:High-resolution proteomic analysis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) stem cells identified phospholipase C- and Ca++-signaling pathways to be differentially regulated in AML1-ETO (AE) driven leukemia. Phospholipase C gamma 1 (Plcg1) could be identified as a direct target of the AE fusion. Genetic Plcg1 inactivation abrogated disease initiation by AE, reduced intracellular Ca++-release and inhibited AE-driven self-renewal programs. In AE-induced leukemia, Plcg1 deletion significantly reduced disease penetrance, number of leukemia stem cells and abrogated leukemia development in secondary recipient hosts. In human AE-positive leukemic cells inactivation of Plcg1 reduced colony formation and AML development in vivo. In contrast, Plcg1 was dispensable for maintenance of murine and human hematopoietic stem- and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Pharmacologic inhibition of Ca++-signaling downstream of Plcg1 resulted in impaired proliferation and self-renewal capacity in AE-driven AML. Thus, the Plcg1 pathway represents a novel specific vulnerability of AE-driven leukemia and poses an important new therapeutic target.

AML1-ETO induced leukemia stem cell self-renewal depends on Plcg1

Project description:Leukemia stem cells are characterized by aberrant self-renewal capacity. Targeting oncogenic fusions that mediate this aberrant self-renewal capacity remains a therapeutic challenge. The t(8;21) translocation, resulting in the oncogenic fusion AML1-ETO (AE, RUNX1-RUNXT1) is among the most common chromosomal rearrangements found in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). By conducting high-resolution proteomic analysis on myeloid leukemia stem cells we identified Phospholipase C- and Ca++-signaling pathways to be differentially regulated in AE/t(8;21) AML. Phospholipase C gamma 1 (Plcg1) was specifically, and highly expressed in t(8;21) AML and could be identified as a direct target of the AML1(RUNX1)-ETO fusion. Genetic inactivation of Plcg1 resulted in abrogation of disease initiation by AE, reduction of intracellular Ca++ release and loss of AE-driven self-renewal programs. Plcg1 deletion after onset of AE-induced leukemia significantly reduced disease penetrance, number of leukemia stem cells and resulted in abrogation of leukemia development in secondary recipients. Inactivation of Plcg1 in human AE-positive AML cells by RNAi reduced colony formation and AML development in vivo. In contrast, Plcg1 was dispensable for steady state hematopoiesis and maintenance of murine and human hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). Translationally, we used pharmacologic inhibition of Ca++ signaling downstream of Plcg1 in AE-driven AML and this resulted in impaired proliferation and self-renewal capacity. The Plcg1 pathway represents a novel, specific vulnerability of AE-driven leukemia and represents an important new therapeutic target.

PLCG1 is required for AML1-ETO leukemia stem cell self-renewal

Project description:In an effort to identify novel drugs targeting fusion-oncogene induced acute myeloid leukemia (AML), we performed high-resolution proteomic analysis. In AML1-ETO (AE) driven AML we uncovered a deregulation of phospholipase C (PLC) signaling. We identified PLCgamma 1 (PLCG1) as a specific target of the AE fusion protein which is induced after AE binding to intergenic regulatory DNA elements. Genetic inactivation of PLCG1 in murine and human AML inhibited AML1-ETO dependent self-renewal programs, leukemic proliferation, and leukemia maintenance in vivo. In contrast, PLCG1 was dispensable for normal hematopoietic stem- and progenitor cell function. These findings are extended to and confirmed by pharmacologic perturbation of Ca++-signaling in AML1-ETO AML cells, indicating that the PLCG1 pathway poses an important therapeutic target for AML1-ETO positive leukemic stem cells.

Gene Expression in Whole Blood of Atopic Eczema and Healthy Children at 4 years

Project description:We studied genes that are related to atopic diseases [i.e., atopic eczema (AE)]. Immunological factors and principal genes involved in the biosynthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acids were included. We analyzed whether expression of genes encoding key enzymes of LC-PUFA synthesis (FADS1, FADS2 and ELOVL5) is associated with circulating LC-PUFA levels and risk of AE in 4-year-old children. AE (n=20) and non-AE (n=104) children participating in the Sabadell cohort within the INfancia y Medio Ambiente (INMA) Project were included in the present study. RT-PCR with TaqMan Low-Density Array cards was used to measure the expression of these genes.

Zeb1-mediated control of PUFA-phospholipids in EMT/plasticity-associated cancer cell ferroptosis

Project description:Therapy resistance and metastasis, the most fatal steps in cancer, are often triggered by a (partial) activation of the epithelial-mesenchymal-transition (EMT)-program. A mesenchymal phenotype predisposes to ferroptosis, a cell death pathway exerted by an iron and oxygen-radical mediated peroxidation of phospholipids containing polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). We here describe that various forms of EMT-activation, including TGFB-stimulation, increase ferroptosis-susceptibility in cancer cells, which depends on the EMT-transcription factor Zeb1. Among other effects, we demonstrate that Zeb1 increases the ratio of phospholipids containing pro-ferroptotic PUFAs over cyto-protective monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and modulates the expression of underlying crucial lipogenic enzymes (and ACSL4). Pharmacological inhibition of selected lipogenic enzymes (SCD and FADS2) allows the manipulation of ferroptosis-sensitivity in a Zeb1-dependent manner. Our data are of potential translational relevance and suggest a combination of ferroptosis-activators and SCD-inhibitors for the treatment of aggressive cancers expressing Zeb1, which might also be a useful predictive marker for such a combination therapy

STING Mediates Increased Self-Renewal and Lineage Skewing in DNMT3A-Mutated Hematopoietic Stem/Progenitor Cells

Project description:Somatic mutations in DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) are frequently observed in patients with hematological malignancies. Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) with mutated DNMT3A demonstrate increased self-renewal activity and skewed lineage differentiation. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these changes remain largely unexplored. In this study, we show that Dnmt3a loss leads to the upregulation of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) in HSPCs, subsequently activating the cGAS-STING pathway and triggering inflammatory responses in these cells. Both genetic and pharmacological inhibition of STING effectively corrects the increased self-renewal activity and differentiation skewing induced by Dnmt3a deficiency in mice. Notably, targeting STING showed inhibited acute myeloid leukemia (AML) development in a Dnmt3a-KO; Flt3-ITD AML model, comparable to AC220, an FDA-approved FLT3-ITD inhibitor. A patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model further demonstrated that targeting STING effectively alleviates the leukemic burden of DNMT3A-mutant AML. Collectively, our findings highlight a critical role for STING in hematopoietic disorders induced by DNMT3A mutations and propose STING as a potential therapeutic target for preventing the progression of DNMT3A mutation-associated leukemia.

Molecular characterization of AML with ins(21;8)(q22;q22q22) reveals similarity to t(8;21) AML

Project description:In acute myeloid leukemia (AML) non-random clonal chromosome aberrations are detectable in ~55% of adults with AML. Translocation t(8;21)(q22;q22) resulting in the 5'RUNX1/3'RUNX1T1 fusion gene occurs in ~8% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases. Also, insertions ins(8;21) and ins(21;8) have been described that show a broad heterogeneity at the molecular level with inserted fragment sizes ranging from 2.4 to 44 Mb. Microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (arrayCGH) in 49 intermediate-risk AML and RT-PCR-based screening in 532 AML cases allowed the detection of ins(21;8)/ins(8;21) in three cases; arrayCGH and subsequent RT-PCR revealed an ~0.5 Mb sized inserted fragment generating the 5'RUNX1/3'RUNX1T1 fusion gene in one case with a submicroscopic ins(21;8)(q22;q22q22) whereas the other two cases were identified by banding analysis and RT-PCR, respectively. Gene expression profiling (GEP) and a detailed review of the literature highlighted similar biological features of AML cases with ins(21;8)/ins(8;21) and t(8;21)(q22;q22). Our study demonstrates the potential of high-resolution array-based analysis and GEP and provides further evidence that AML with insertions generating the 5'RUNX1/3'RUNX1T1 fusion not only biologically resemble the t(8;21)(q22;q22) AML subgroup, but might also share their prognostically favorable clinical behavior. Thus, similar treatment options should be considered in these patients. An all pairs experiment design type is where all labeled extracts are compared to every other labeled extract.

AML1-ETO-induced FOXO1 activates a self-renewal program in pre-leukemia stem cells

Project description:Blocking the self-renewal of pre-leukemia stem cells could prevent AML relapse. In this study we show that FOXO1 is an essential self-renewal factor in leukemic and pre-leukemic cells expressing the t(8;21)-associated oncogene AML1-ETO (AE). FOXO1 is consistently upregulated in t(8;21) AML and functions as a critical oncogenic mediator rather than a tumor suppressor. Expression of FOXO1 in human CD34+ cells promotes a pre-leukemic state, partially phenocopying the cellular and transcriptional effects of AE expression. The DNA binding ability of FOXO1 is essential for these features. AE and FOXO1 co-occupy the majority of their binding sites, whereby FOXO1 binds to multiple crucial self-renewal genes and is required for their activation. In concordance with this observation, loss of FOXO1 inhibits the long-term proliferation and clonogenicity of AE cells. Thus, increased FOXO1 represents a new mechanism for acquiring aberrant self-renewal by pre-leukemia stem cells and provides a novel target for therapeutic intervention.
