FBXO3-mediated DUSP9 ubiquitination reprograms MAPK signaling to eradicate tyrosine kinase inhibitor-resistant CML stem cells

ABSTRACT: Discovering new therapeutic targets to overcome tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) resistance and clear leukemic stem cells (LSCs) is an urgent clinical need for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) treatment. In the present study, we report that the F-box protein 3 (FBXO3) is upregulated in CD34+ CML stem cells from patients with TKI treatment failure and is regulated by BCR-ABL. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis indicated that FBXO3+ HSCs from CML patients have significant LSC signatures. Genetic depletion of FBXO3 significantly increased apoptosis and decreased proliferation of both imatinib-sensitive/resistant CML cell lines and CML stem cells in vitro and in vivo, with minimal effects on normal CD34+ HSCs. Mechanistically, FBXO3 interacts with DUSP9 and mediates its ubiquitination. DUSP9 knockdown partially counteracts the elimination of CML stem cells mediated by FBXO3 depleting in vitro and in vivo. RNA-seq results indicates that FBXO3-mediated ubiquitination of DUSP9 activates MAPK signaling pathway in CML cells. Moreover, FBXO3 inhibitor alone or in combination with imatinib significantly clear CML stem cells and overcome TKI resistance in murine and human CML, with minimal effects on normal hematopoiesis. Overall, our findings uncover novel roles of FBXO3 in CML progression and provide a rationale for combining FBXO3 inhibitors with TKIs to induce durable elimination of CML-LSCs.

Pyruvate Anaplerosis is a Targetable Vulnerability in Persistent Leukaemic Stem Cells

Project description:Deregulated oxidative metabolism is a hallmark of leukaemia. While use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) such as imatinib has led to increased survival of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) patients, it fails to eradicate disease initiating leukemic stem cells (LSCs). Whether TKI-treated CML LSCs remain metabolically deregulated is unknown. Using clinically and physiologically relevant assays we generated multi-omics datasets that offer unprecedented insight into nutrient fate in patient derived CML LSCs. We demonstrate that LSCs have increased glucose anaplerosis when compared to normal hematopoietic stem cells. While imatinib treatment reverses BCR-ABL-mediated LSC metabolic reprogramming, stable isotope-assisted metabolomics revealed that deregulated glucose anaplerosis is unaffected by imatinib. Encouragingly, genetic ablation of glucose anaplerosis sensitises CML cells to imatinib. Finally, we demonstrate that the clinical oral-available inhibitor MSDC-0160 targets glucose anaplerosis in robust pre-clinical CML models. Collectively these results highlight glucose anaplerosis as a persistent and therapeutically targetable vulnerability in imatinib-treated CML patient samples.

Early and late TKI response of CML stem cells

Project description:Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a clonal haemopoietic stem cell (HSC) disorder associated with the BCR-ABL oncogene, which encodes a constitutively active tyrosine kinase. We have demonstrated the existence of CML HSC which are resistant to the tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). We have hypothesised that CML stem cells are dependent on key survival pathways that are induced by TKI treatment. In order to elucidate these key survival pathways, we have investigated the transcriptional differences between CML stem/progenitor cells (CD34+38-) treated with TKIs (imatinib, dasatinib and nilotinib) at different time points (8 hours and 7 days, in the absence of growth factors) and by carrying out RNA profiling for the different populations. CD34+38- cells were isolated from chronic phase patient samples. >100ng of total RNA was amplified prior to analysis that was carried out with Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST array.

Whole transcriptome sequencing for wild type and IRAIN over-expression K562 cells

Project description:The development of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has revolutionarily increased the overall survival of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). However, drug resistance remains a major obstacle. Here, we demonstrated that a BCR-ABL1-independent long non-coding RNA, IRAIN, is constitutively expressed at low levels in CML, resulting in imatinib resistance. IRAIN knockdown decreased the sensitivity of CD34+ CML blasts and cell lines to imatinib, whereas IRAIN overexpression significantly increased sensitivity. Mechanistically, IRAIN downregulates CD44, a membrane receptor favorably affecting TKI resistance, by binding to the nuclear factor kappa B subunit p65 to reduce the expression of p65 and phosphorylated p65. Therefore, the demethylating drug decitabine, which upregulates IRAIN, combined with imatinib, formed a dual therapy strategy which can be applied to CML with resistance to TKIs.

Expression profiling in exosomal miRNAs of CML patients with musculoskeletal pain associated with discontinuation of Imatinib

Project description:An approximately 60% of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients who achieved a deep molecular response for more than 2 years maintained a major molecular response after discontinuation of imatinib. These findings indicate the possibility that a portion of CML patients treated with Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) could discontinue TKI therapy, although long-term prognosis and/or adverse events after TKIs cessation remain unclear. Recent reports showed that transient musculoskeletal pain occurs in approximately 30% of CML patients after stopping imatinib. To ascertain the factors underlying musculoskeletal events after TKI cessation, we investigated exosomal miRNA in five CML patients who did not experience musculoskeletal events and five patients with musculoskeletal pain after stopping TKIs.

Gene expression profiling of pre-HPCs derived from CML-iPSCs

Project description:Properties of cancer stem cells (CSC) involved in drug-resistance and relapse have significant effect on clinical outcome. Although tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have dramatically improved survival of patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), TKIs have not fully cure CML due to TKI-resistant CML stem cells. Moreover, the relapse after discontinuation of TKIs has not been predicted in CML patients with best TKI-response. In our study, pre-hematoopoietic progenitor cells (pre-HPCs), a model of CML stem cells derived from CML-iPSCs identified a novel antigen of TKI-resistant CML cells. Even in the fraction reported as TKI-sensitive, the antigen+ cells showed TKI-resistance in CML patients. In addition, residual CML cells in patients with optimal TKI-response were concentrated in the antigen+ population.

Chronic myeloid leukaemia stem cells present an aberrant gene expression signature that is not affected by tyrosine kinase inhibitors

Project description:Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) revolutionised the treatment of CML at the beginning of the century. However, TKI do not eliminate the leukaemia stem cells, which can reinitiate the disease upon treatment withdrawal. Thus, finding new therapeutic targets in CML stem cells is key to find a curative treatment. Using microarray datasets, we defined a list of 227 genes which were differentially expressed in CML stem cells compared to healthy controls but were not affected by TKI. Two of them, CD33 and PPIF, are targeted by gemtuzumab-ozogamicin and cyclosporin A, respectively. We treated CML and control CD34+ cells with either drug with or without imatinib to investigate the therapeutic potential of the TKI independent gene expression signature. Cyclosporine A in combination with imatinib reduced the number of CML CFC compared with non-CML controls, but at concentrations not achievable in the clinical practice. Gemtuzumab-ozogamicin showed a EC50 of 146ng/mL, well below the plasma peak concentration of 630ng/mL observed in AML patients and below the EC50 of 3247ng/mL observed in non-CML cells. Interestingly, gemtuzumab-ozogamicin seems to promote cell cycle progression in CML CD34+ cells and we found it to activate the RUNX1 pathway in a RNAseq experiment. This suggests that targeting the tyrosine kinase inhibitor independent gene expression signature in CML stem cells could be exploited for the development of new therapies in CML.

Single cell multi-omics analysis of chronic myeloid leukemia links cellular heterogeneity to therapy response

Project description:The advent of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) as treatment of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is a paradigm in molecularly targeted cancer therapy. Nonetheless, TKI insensitive leukemia stem cells (LSCs) persist in most patients, even after years of treatment. Here, we used cellular indexing of transcriptomes and epitopes by sequencing (CITE-seq) to generate high-resolution single cell multiomics maps from CML patients stratified according to molecular response (BCR-ABL IS %) following 12 months of TKI therapy. Simultaneous measurement of global gene expression profiles together with >40 surface markers from the same cells revealed that each patient harbored a unique composition of stem and progenitor cells at diagnosis demonstrating that cellular heterogeneity is a hallmark of CML. The patients with treatment failure at 12 months of therapy had markedly higher abundance of molecularly defined primitive cells at diagnosis compared to the optimal responders. The multi-modal feature landscape enabled visualization of the primitive fraction as a mix of Lin-CD34+38-/low BCR-ABL1+ LSCs and BCR-ABL1- HSCs in variable ratio across patients and guided their prospective isolation by a combination of CD26 and CD35 cell surface markers.

Martinostat as a Novel HDAC Inhibitor to Overcome Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Resistance in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

Project description:Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) remains a therapeutic challenge, particularly in patients who develop resistance to standard tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) such as imatinib. Here, we present the first demonstration of the potent anti-leukemic activity of the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor martinostat in both TKI-sensitive and TKI-resistant CML. Structural and biochemical analyses confirmed the efficient and selective binding of martinostat to HDAC isoenzyme ligand-binding pockets, resulting in histone and tubulin hyperacetylation in both imatinib-sensitive and resistant CML cells, outperforming vorinostat, a clinically used HDAC inhibitor (HDACi). It selectively impaired CML cell proliferation and viability and induced apoptosis across various CML models, including resistant cell models and patient blasts, with minimal toxicity to healthy cells and low developmental toxicity in zebrafish. In addition to its single-agent efficacy, martinostat demonstrated enhanced anticancer effects when combined with imatinib, both in vitro and in vivo, significantly reducing tumor growth in resistant CML xenograft models. Mechanistically, mRNA-seq data showed that martinostat disrupted key survival signaling pathways and amplified apoptotic responses, thereby contributing to its anticancer activity. These findings highlight the potential of martinostat as a selective, low-toxicity HDACi that, when combined with TKIs, could provide an effective strategy to overcome drug resistance in CML and improve therapeutic outcomes.

Metabolic alterations mediated by STAT3 promotes drug persistence in CML [K562 bulk RNA-Seq]

Project description:Leukemic stem cells (LSCs) can acquire non-mutational resistance following drug treatment leading to therapeutic failure and relapse. However, oncogene-independent mechanisms of drug persistence in LSCs are incompletely understood, which is the primary focus of this study. We integrated proteomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics to determine the contribution of STAT3 in promoting metabolic changes in tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) persistent chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells. Proteomic and transcriptional differences in TKI persistent CML cells revealed BCR-ABL-independent STAT3 activation in these cells. While knockout of STAT3 inhibited the CML cells from developing drug-persistence, inhibition of STAT3 using a small molecule inhibitor sensitized the persistent CML cells to TKI treatment. Interestingly, given the role of phosphorylated STAT3 as a transcription factor, it localized uniquely to genes regulating metabolic pathways in the TKI-persistent CML stem and progenitor cells. Subsequently, we observed that STAT3 dysregulated mitochondrial metabolism forcing the TKI-persistent CML cells to depend on glycolysis, unlike TKI-sensitive CML cells, which are more reliant on oxidative phosphorylation. Finally, targeting pyruvate kinase M2, a rate-limiting glycolytic enzyme, specifically eradicated the TKI-persistent CML cells. By exploring the role of STAT3 in altering metabolism, we provide critical insight into identifying potential therapeutic targets for eliminating TKI-persistent LSCs.
