Menin-regulated genes in bone marrow B-cell progenitors

ABSTRACT: MLL1 translocations encode fusion proteins retaining the N-terminus of MLL1, which interacts with the tumor suppressor, menin. This interaction is essential for leukemogenesis, thus is a promising drug target. However, wild-type MLL1 plays a critical role in sustaining hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), therefore disruption of an essential MLL1 cofactor would be expected to obliterate normal hematopoiesis. Here we show that rather than working together as a complex, menin and MLL1 regulate distinct pathways during normal hematopoiesis, particularly in HSCs and B-cells. We demonstrate the lack of genetic interaction between menin and MLL1 in steady-state or regenerative hematopoiesis and in B-cell differentiation despite the fact that MLL1 is critical for these processes. In B-cells, menin- or MLL1-regulated genes can be classified into three categories: 1) a relatively small group of co-regulated genes including previously described targets Hoxa9 and Meis1 but also Mecom and Eya1, and much larger groups of 2) exclusively menin-regulated and 3) exclusively MLL1-regulated genes. Our results highlight the large degree of independence of these two proteins and demonstrate that menin is not a requisite cofactor for MLL1 during normal hematopoiesis. Furthermore, our data support the development of menin-MLL1 disrupting drugs as safe and selective leukemia targeting agents. We performed gene expression analysis to determine the genes deregulated in B-cell progenitors upon loss of menin.

Fraction B pro-B cells (defined as B220+CD43+HSA+BP-1- BM cells) were sorted from four MenF/F and four Rag1-cre;MenF/F mice of three weeks old. Total RNA was amplified once, labeled, fragmented and hybridized to Affymerix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 array.

Targeting Menin disrupts the KMT2A/B and polycomb balance to paradoxically activate bivalent genes [RNA-seq]

Project description:Precise dynamic control of activating H3K4me3 and repressive H3K27me3 histone modifications at bivalent gene promoters is essential for normal development and frequently corrupted in cancer. Using whole genome CRISPR/Cas9 screens we identify specific roles for MTF2-PRC2.1 and PCGF1-PRC1.1 polycomb complexes, and MLL1/2-COMPASS-like complex components in maintaining bivalency. Contrary to expectations, loss of Menin or inhibition of the Menin-MLL1/2 interaction, induces activation of bivalent genes via loss of polycomb-mediated repression and defines distinct roles for MLL1/2 and Menin in gene regulation. Whilst Menin and MLL1/2 contribute to maintenance H3K4me3 at active genes, a separate Menin-independent function of MLL1/2 opposes polycomb mediated repression at bivalent genes. MLL1/2 are essential for basal transcription and, although dispensable for transcription factor driven activation, facilitate transcriptional consistency during dynamic changes in gene expression. This functional partitioning of COMPASS complex components reveals therapeutic opportunities to target oncogenic and immunosuppressive functions of PRC2 through pharmacological inhibition of Menin.

MLL regulated genes in LSK/CD48- hematopoietic stem cells

Project description:The histone methyltransferase mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) is essential to maintain hematopoietic stem cells and is a leukemia protooncogene. Although Hox genes are well-characterized targets of MLL and MLL fusion oncoproteins, the range of Mll-regulated genes in normal hematopoietic cells remains unknown. Here we identify and characterize part of the Mll-transcriptional network in hematopoietic stem cells with an integrated approach by using conditional loss-of-function models, genomewide expression analyses, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and functional rescue assays. The Mll-dependent transcriptional network extends well beyond the previously appreciated Hox targets, is comprised of many characterized regulators of self-renewal, and contains target genes that are both dependent and independent of the MLL cofactor, Menin. Interestingly, Prdm16 emerged as a target gene that is uniquely effective at partially rescuing Mll-deficient hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. This work highlights the tissue-specific nature of regulatory networks under the control of MLL/Trithorax family members and provides insight into the distinctions between the participation of MLL in normal hematopoiesis and in leukemia. We used microarrays to determine the gene expression profiles of HSCs upon conditional deletion of Mll. LSK/CD48- HSCs were sorted from 5 pI:pC injected MllF/F control mice or 5 pI:pC injected Mx1-cre;MllF/F mice 6 days after the initial injection. Total RNA was purified from 1,500 to 10,000 sorted cells, amplified, labeled, fragmented and hybridized to GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays from Affymetrix.

MLL1 regulates cytokine-driven cell migration and metastasis

Project description:The interaction between MLL1 And Menin controls cancer cell proliferation, migration, and tumor progression. MLL1 depletion reduced 3D cell migration in vitro and led to lesser metastatic burden and prolonged survival in vivo. Mechanistically, MLL1-Menin interaction controls actin filament assembly and protrusion generation through IL-6-pSTAT3-Arp3 axis. MLL1-Menin interaction also controls TGF-β1-mediated acto-myosin contractility via Gli2-ROCK1/2-pMLC2 axis. Additionally, MLL1-menin inhibition decreased cell proliferation via a multitude of cell-cycle related pathways. Mice bearing MLL1-depleted tumors exhibited decreased significant lung metastatic burden when sacrificed at a set tumor size, indicating that MLL1 played a role in the invasion of tumor cells in vivo. Finally, MLL1-Menin inhibition was additive with standard chemotherapeutics, both in vitro and in vivo.

Multi-omics analysis of MEN1 missense mutations identifies disruption of menin-MLL and menin-JunD interactions as critical requirements for molecular pathogenicity

Project description:Loss-of-function mutations of the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) gene are causal to the MEN1 tumor syndrome, but they are also commonly found in sporadic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and other types of cancers. The MEN1 gene product, menin, is involved in transcriptional and chromatin regulation, most prominently as an integral component of KMT2A/MLL1 and KMT2B/MLL2 containing COMPASS-like histone H3K4 methyltransferase complexes. In a mutually exclusive fashion, menin also interacts with the JunD subunit of the AP-1 and ATF/CREB transcription factors. After in silico screening of 253 disease-related MEN1 missense mutations, we selected a set of nine menin mutations in surface-exposed residues. The protein interactomes of these mutants were assessed by quantitative mass spectrometry, which indicated that seven of the nine mutants disrupt interactions with both MLL1/2 and JunD complexes in the nucleus. We identified three missense mutations, R52G, E255K and E359K, which display predominant reduction in interaction with MLL1 compared to JunD. This observation was supported by a pronounced loss of binding of the R52G, E255K and E359K mutant proteins at unique MLL1 genomic binding sites with less effect on unique JunD sites. These findings support the general importance of the menin-MLL1 and menin-JunD interactions in MEN1 gene-associated pathogenic conditions.

NHGRI Menin ChIP-Chip

Project description:Multiple endocrine neoplasia type I (MEN1) is a familial cancer syndrome characterized primarily by tumors of multiple endocrine glands. The gene for MEN1 encodes a ubiquitously expressed tumor suppressor protein called menin. Menin was recently shown to interact with several components of a trithorax family histone methyltransferase complex including ASH2, Rbbp5, WDR5, and the leukemia proto-oncoprotein MLL. To elucidate menin's role as a tumor suppressor and gain insights into the endocrine-specific tumor phenotype in MEN1, we mapped the genomic binding sites of menin, MLL1, and Rbbp5, to approximately 20,000 promoters in HeLa S3, HepG2, and pancreatic islet cells using the strategy of chromatin-immunoprecipitation coupled with microarray analysis. We found that menin, MLL1, and Rbbp5 localize to the promoters of thousands of human genes but do not always bind together. These data suggest that menin functions as a general regulator of transcription. Keywords: ChIP/chip NHGRI Menin ChIP-Chip
