Analysis of chromatin accessibility relative to epigenetic features of azacitidine response in high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome

ABSTRACT: Azacitidine is used to treat patients with myelodysplastic syndrome, which alters epigenetic regulatory program that changes global gene expression by inhibiting DNA methylation. However, epigenomic factors affecting azacitidine response have not been studied in the context of chromatin. The efficacy of the hypomethylating agent differs by patient, leaving approximately 40% of patients fail to respond. Here, we demonstrate that chromatin accessibility features in patient-derived bone marrow cells can distinguish azacitidine responders from non-responders before treatment. Profiling chromatin accessibility from 23 high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome patients discovered that treatment response is strongly associated with distinct hematopoietic cell states. While non-responders showed enrichment of myeloid progenitor signatures, responders were characterized by elevated T cell populations. Notably, CD8+ T cells from non-responders exhibited selective loss of chromatin accessibility at TBX/EOMES binding sites, revealing a previously unrecognized link between T cell differentiation state and azacitidine response. These findings suggest the importance of immune cell differentiation and their activity in hypomethylating agent response for myelodysplastic syndromes, providing insights for patient stratification and treatment optimization based on the chromatin accessibility in high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome patients.

Identification of genes that may predict response to azacitidine treatment.

Project description:Azacitidine (AZA) is a hypomethylating drug used to treat disorders associated with myelodysplasia and related neoplasms. Approximately 50% of patients do not respond to AZA and have very poor outcomes. It is of great interest to identify predictive biomarkers for AZA responsiveness. Therefore, we searched for specific genes whose expression level was associated with response status.Using microarrays, we analyzed gene expression patterns in bone marrow CD34+ cells from 32 patients with myelodysplastic syndromes, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, and acute myeloid leukemia with myelodysplasia-related changes before AZA therapy. Total RNA was isolated from bone marrow CD34+ cells obtained from myelodysplasia and related neoplasms patients who underwent treatment with 5-azacytidine (AZA, Vidaza). Using Illumina Human HT-12 v. 4 microarrays, we assayed gene expression profiles in patient CD34+ cells before AZA treatment in order to collect basic data for search for markers of the prediction of therapy response.

Molecular profiling of pre-and post-5-azacytidine myelodysplastic syndrome samples identifies predictors of response

Project description:Treatment with the hypomethylating agent 5-azacytidine (AZA) increases survival in high-risk (HR) myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients, but predicting patient response and overall survival remains challenging. To address these issues, we analyzed mutational and transcriptional profiles in CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) before and following AZA therapy in MDS patients. AZA treatment led to a greater reduction in the mutational burden in both blast and hematological responders than non-responders. Blast and hematological responders showed transcriptional evidence of pre-treatment enrichment for pathways such as oxidative phosphorylation, MYC targets, and mTORC1 signaling. While blast non-response was associated with TNFa signaling and leukemia stem cell signature, hematological non-response was associated with cell-cycle related pathways. AZA induced similar transcriptional responses in MDS patients regardless of response type. Comparison of blast responders and non-responders to normal controls, allowed us to generate a transcriptional classifier that could predict AZA response and survival. This classifier outperformed a previously developed gene signature in a second MDS patient cohort, but signatures of hematological responses were unable to predict survival. Overall, these studies characterize the molecular consequences of AZA treatment in MDS HSPCs and identify a potential tool for predicting AZA therapy responses and overall survival prior to initiation of therapy.

Clinical response to azacitidine in MDS is associated with distinct DNA methylation changes in HSPCs [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Hypomethylating agents are used as frontline therapy for myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS), but clinical response is unpredictable. To determine whether response was associated with in vivo dynamics of DNA hypomethylation, we conducted a phase 2 trial for MDS using both injection and oral azacitidine (AZA). We established that global DNA methylation levels in peripheral blood and bone marrow mononuclear cells were comparable in AZA responders and non-responders during their course of treatment. However, there were distinct baseline and early drug induced differences in CpG methylation in haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) in responders compared to non-responders that overlapped with regulatory regions of genes associated with tissue patterning, cell migration and myeloid differentiation. Following six cycles of therapy when clinical response typically manifests, differential hypomethylation in responder HSPCs pointed to marrow adaptation as a driver of enhanced haematopoiesis. Taken together, CpG methylation differences in HSPCs may explain variable response to AZA.

Single-cell transcriptomes of CD8+ T cells from patients with HR-MDS and AML

Project description:Treatment with hypomethylating agents (HMA), and specifically azacitidine (AZA), is the standard of care for patients with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that are not eligible to receive intensive chemotherapy. Despite research efforts, it is not possible to predict response to treatment with HMA. In this study, we aimed to identify immune cell signatures in the bone marrow (BM) associated with treatment outcomes. By employing mass cytometry, we performed an in-depth immunophenotypic analysis in BM samples deriving from patients with myeloid neoplasms prior to treatment initiation. We identified an increased pre-treatment frequency of a CD8+ T cell subset, characterized as CD57+CXCR3+CCR7-CD45RA+, in patients with MDS and AML who did not respond to treatment with AZA, compared to responders. Furthermore, a baseline frequency of more than 29% of CD57+CXCR3+CD8+ T cells was correlated with poor overall survival. We further engaged scRNA-seq to assess the transcriptional profile of BM CD8+ T cells from treatment-naïve patients with MDS and AML, to identify molecular signatures in CD8+ T subpopulations associated with favorable outcomes. Response to treatment was positively associated with enrichment of IFN-mediated pathways coupled with enhanced cytotoxic signature, whereas enrichment of the TGF-β signaling pathway was observed in cell clusters from non-responders. Together, this study identified a specific CD57+CXCR3+ CD8+ T cell population with predictive value in patients with MDS and AML treated with AZA, and characterized molecular signatures in CD8+ T cells linked to cytokine signaling that were associated with treatment outcomes.

Multi-omics analysis of myelodysplastic syndromes resistance to epigenetics threrary reveals PI3K/Akt activation mediated by epigenetic silencing of PTEN and epi-transcriptional silencing of MDM2 [epitranscriptome]

Project description:Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a clonal myeloid neoplasm characterized by ineffective haematopoiesis and cytopenia with frequent epigenetic modifications. Hypomethylating agents (HMA) such as azacitidine (AZA) and decitabine (DEC) are standard therapeutic options in MDS, but drug resistance is not uncommon.To study RNA modification in particular M6A, P39-AZA-S and P39-AZA-R native RNA libraries were prepared using the direct RNA sequencing kit (Oxford Nanopore) following the manufacturer’s protocol (SQK-RNA002). Differential methylated RNA signal called from raw fast5 files were used as input for basecalling and downstream mapping and methylated transcript detection.

RNA-seq of human MDS/AML cell line OCI-M2 treated with 5-azacytidine and sulforaphane

Project description:The RNA sequencing experiment is part of the study: “Modulating Redox Balance Restores Azacytidine Efficacy in Hypomethylating Agent Resistant Disease.” In the study we generated myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia (MDS/AML) OCI-M2 cell line that is resistant to hypomethylating therapy by 5-azacytidine (AZA). By modulation of the redox environment via modification of redox sensor KEAP1 using sulforaphane (SFN) in these cells we were able to restore sensitivity to AZA. We used RNA sequencing to define transcriptomic differences between AZA sensitive (AZA-S) and AZA resistant (AZA-R) cells and to characterize how the transcriptome is changing upon treatment of these cells with AZA, SFN and combination of both.
