TALENs-mediated gene disruption of FLT3 in leukemia cells: Using genome-editing approach for exploring the molecular basis of gene abnormality

ABSTRACT: Novel analytic tools are needed to elucidate the molecular basis of leukemia-relevant gene mutations in the post-genome era. We generated isogenic leukemia cell clones in which the FLT3 gene was disrupted in a single allele using TALENs. Isogenic clones with mono-allelic disrupted FLT3 were compared to an isogenic wild-type control clone and parental leukemia cells for transcriptional expression, downstream FLT3 signaling and proliferation capacity. The global gene expression profiles of mutant K562 clones and corresponding wild-type controls were compared using RNA-seq. The transcriptional levels and the ligand-dependent autophosphorylation of FLT3 were decreased in the mutant clones. TALENs-mediated FLT3 haplo-insufficiency impaired cell proliferation and colony formation in vitro. These inhibitory effects were maintained in vivo, improving the survival of NOD/SCID mice transplanted with mutant K562 clones. Cluster analysis revealed that the gene expression pattern of isogenic clones was determined by the FLT3 mutant status rather than the deviation among individual isogenic clones. Differentially expressed genes between the mutant and wild-type clones revealed an activation of nonsense-mediated decay pathway in mutant K562 clones as well as an inhibited FLT3 signaling. Our data support that this genome-editing approach is a robust and generally applicable platform to explore the molecular bases of gene mutations.

Genomic Analysis of Relapsed Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Project description:<p>Although multi-agent combination chemotherapy is curative in a significant fraction of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients, 20% of cases relapse and most die due to chemo-refractory disease. Here we used whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing to analyze the mutational landscape and pattern of clonal evolution at relapse in pediatric ALL cases. These analyses showed that ALL relapses originate from a common ancestral precursor clone of the diagnosis and relapsed populations and frequently harbor mutations implicated in chemotherapy resistance. RAS-MAPK pathway activating mutations in NRAS, KRAS and PTPN11 were present in 24/55 (44%) cases in our series. Notably, while some cases showed emergence of RAS mutant clones at relapse, in others, RAS mutant clones present at diagnosis were replaced by RAS wild type populations. Mechanistically, functional dissection of mouse and human wild type Kras and mutant Kras (Kras G12D) isogenic leukemia cells demonstrated induction of methotrexate resistance, but also improved response to vincristine, in mutant Kras- expressing lymphoblasts. These results identify chemotherapy driven selection as a central mechanism of leukemia clonal evolution and pave the road for the development of tailored personalized therapies for the treatment of relapsed ALL. </p>

Synergistic targeting of DNA-PK and KIT signaling pathways in KIT mutant acute myeloid leukemia

Project description:Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is the most common and aggressive form of acute leukemia, with a 5-year survival rate of just 24%. Over a third of all AML patients harbor activating mutations in kinases, such as the receptor tyrosine kinases FLT3 and KIT. FLT3 and KIT mutations are associated with poor clinical outcomes and lower remission rates in response to standard-of-care chemotherapy. We have recently identified that the core kinase of the non-homologous end joining DNA repair pathway, DNA-PK, is activated downstream of FLT3; and targeting DNA-PK sensitized FLT3-mutant AML cells to standard-of-care therapies. Herein, we investigated DNA-PK as a possible therapeutic vulnerability in KIT mutant AML, using isogenic FDC-P1 myeloid progenitor cell lines transduced with an empty vector or oncogenic mutant KIT (V560G, D816V). Targeted quantitative phosphoproteomic profiling identified phosphorylation of DNA-PK at threonine 2599 in KIT mutant cells, indicative of DNA-PK activation. Accordingly, proliferation assays revealed that KIT mutant FDC-P1 cells were more sensitive to the DNA-PK inhibitors M3814 or NU7441, compared to empty vector controls. DNA-PK inhibition combined with inhibition of KIT signaling via using the kinase inhibitors dasatinib or ibrutinib, or the protein phosphatase 2A activators FTY720 or AAL(S), led to synergistic cell death. Discovery phosphoproteomic analysis of KIT-D816V cells revealed that dasatinib single-agent treatment inhibited ERK1 activity, and M3814 single-agent treatment inhibited Akt/mTOR activity. The combination of dasatinib and M3814 treatment inhibited both ERK/MAPK and Akt/mTOR activity, and induced synergistic inhibition of phosphorylation of transcription regulators including MYC and MYB. This study provides insight into the oncogenic pathways regulated by DNA-PK beyond its canonical role in DNA repair, and demonstrates that DNA-PK is a promising novel therapeutic target for KIT mutant cancers.

SYK Is a Critical Regulator of FLT3 In Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Project description:Cooperative dependencies between mutant oncoproteins and wild-type proteins are critical in cancer pathogenesis and therapy resistance. Although spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) has been implicated in hematologic malignancies, it is rarely mutated. We used kinase activity profiling to identify collaborators of SYK in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and determined that FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) is transactivated by SYK via direct binding. Highly activated SYK is predominantly found in FLT3-ITD positive AML and cooperates with FLT3-ITD to activate MYC transcriptional programs. FLT3-ITD AML cells are more vulnerable to SYK suppression than FLT3 wild-type counterparts. In a FLT3-ITD in vivo model, SYK is indispensable for myeloproliferative disease (MPD) development, and SYK overexpression promotes overt transformation to AML and resistance to FLT3-ITD-targeted therapy.

Gene expression profile of human ARPE-19 cells subjected to mitochondrial DNA double stranded breaks through expression of mitochondrial TALENs

Project description:Goal is to analyze the expression profile of cells shortly after induction of mitochondrial double stranded breaks. ARPE-19 cells are transfected with constructs coding for mitochondrial TALENs, either active or dead. These constructs target two different locations of mtDNA (ATP8 and Dloop). Gene expression is then compared between untransfected and transfected cells (either active or dead TALENs), or between active TALEN (cells with mitochondrial double stranded breaks) and dead TALEN (expressing the same protein without cutting the mitochondrial genome)

Disease-associated mutation in SRSF2 misregulates splicing by altering RNA binding affinities

Project description:SRSF2 is an RNA binding protein that plays important roles in splicing of mRNA precursors. Mutations in SRSF2 are frequently found in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes and certain leukemias, but how they affect SRSF2 function has only begun to be examined. Here we used CRISPR/Cas9 to introduce the P95H mutation to SRSF2 in K562 leukemia cells, generating an isogenic model so that splicing alterations can be attributed solely to mutant SRSF2. We found that SRSF2 (P95H) misregulates 548 splicing events (<1% of total). Of these, 374 involve the inclusion of cassette exons, and the inclusion was either increased (206) or decreased (168). We detected a specific motif (UCCA/UG) enriched in the more included exons and a distinct motif (UGGA/UG) in the more excluded exons. RNA gel shift assays showed that a mutant SRSF2 derivative bound more tightly than its wild-type counterpart to RNA sites containing UCCAG, but less tightly to UGGAG sites. The pattern of exon inclusion or exclusion thus correlated in most cases with stronger or weaker RNA binding, respectively. We further show that the P95H mutation does not affect other functions of SRSF2, i.e., protein-protein interactions with key splicing factors. Our results thus demonstrate that the P95H mutation positively or negatively alters the binding affinity of SRSF2 for cognate RNA sites in target transcripts, leading to misregulation of exon inclusion. Our findings not only shed light on the mechanism of the disease-associated SRSF2 mutation in splicing regulation, but also reveal a group of mis-spliced mRNA isoforms for potential therapeutic targeting.

Disruption of miRNA Sequence by TALENs and CRISPR/Cas9 Induces Varied Length of miRNA Production [TALENs]

Project description:Purpose: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been recognized as crucial players in plant growth, development, production and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, while only limited number of mutants can be used to dissect their roles. Here we used TALENs (Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases) and Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) to introduce base pair mutations in MIRNA genes, resulting in creation of miRNA mutants and elucidating the effect of mutations on the miRNA biogenesis in rice and Arabidopsis. Methods: Total RNAs were prepared using a Trizol reagent-based method. The plant materials were homogenized and reconstituted in Trizol solution. The solution in turn was extracted by chloroform. Isopropanol was used to precipitate the total RNA. The whole process was performed under RNase free environment. DEPC-treated water was used to dissolve RNA. The total RNA underwent miRNA isolation using Qiagen miRNA purification kit according to the manufacturer’s manual. Small RNA libraries were made using 5 µg total RNA with NEBNext Small RNA library Prep Set, as described, and sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform.

Transcriptomic effects of combination Menin-MLL1 inhibition and FLT3 inhibition on human AML cells

Project description:Chromosomal translocations of the MLL1 gene cooccur with the activating mutations in FLT3 kinase in acute myeloid leukemia patients, providing the rationale to explore combination of the menin-MLL1 inhibitor (MI-3454) and FLT3 inhibitor (Gilteritinib) in leukemia models. Here, we pursued global gene expression studies after 7 days of treatment of MOLM13 cells (harboring MLL-AF9 and FLT3-ITD) with MI-3454 and Gilteritinib used as single agents and in combination. We observed that MYC, differentiation and stemness-associated gene programs were disrupted by the single agent treatments, but the effect was enhanced upon combinatorial treatment. These results provide a mechanistic input on the increased activity of MI-3454 when combined with Gilteritinib in leukemia models versus single agent treatment.
