Project description:Somatic mutations in various epigenetic regulators, including histone methyltransferases KMT2C and KMT2D, have emerged as important cancer-driving events. However, the mechanism of action and therapeutic vulnerability imparted by these mutations remain poorly understood. We identified KMT2D and 8 other epigenetic regulators as potential suppressors to melanoma initiation through an in vivo pooled epigenome-focused RNAi screen. Loss of KMT2D, which exhibits somatic mutations in human melanoma and other cancers, drastically enhanced melanoma progression in xenograft models and a BRAFV600E-driven genetically engineered mouse model of melanoma. Epigenome profiling of 6 histone marks and chromatin state alterations showed substantial reprogramming of H3K4me1- and H3K27ac-marked active enhancer states in KMT2D mutant tumors. Energy metabolic pathways such as glycolysis, OxPhos and TCA/electron transport showed high degree of deregulation which was confirmed with metabolic profiling. Pharmacological abrogation of glycolysis led to reduced proliferation and tumorigenesis preferentially in KMT2D mutant cells. Mechanistically, we find that enhancer loss at IGFBPs increases IGF signaling and downstream AKT phosphorylation that leads to upregulation of metabolic pathways rendering KMT2D mutant cells dependent on these energy metabolism pathways for their higher growth potential. Overall, we present evidence that KMT2D mutations promote tumorigenesis by reprogramming energy metabolism pathways through enhancer reprogramming.

Project description:The histone-3 lysine-4 methyltransferase KMT2D is frequently mutated in human cancers. However, knowledge of its role in the initiation and maintenance of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is incomplete. Here, we show that KMT2D is generally downregulated in human AML. Using shRNA and CRISPR/Cas9 technologies, we show that Kmt2d loss, by cooperating with Trp53 and Nf1 loss, promoted mouse acute myeloid leukemogenesis through a differentiation block of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Furthermore, using a doxycycline-induced shRNA system, we show that restoring Kmt2d impairs AML maintenance. Multi-omics analyses of Kmt2d-deficient and -restored AML cells showed that Kmt2d, via histone methyltransferase activity and chromatin remodeling, epigenetically regulates the expression of genes controlling hematopoietic stem cell differentiation. Lastly, we showed that 3-Deazaneplanocin A, a histone methyltransferase EZH2 inhibitor, could specifically repress Kmt2d-deficient AML cell growth and reverse pro-leukemia programs. Thus, our study indicate Kmt2d is a tumor suppressor, whose downregulation promotes AML development through differentiation blockage.

Project description:Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, with 5-year survival of ~50%. Genomic profiling studies have identified important somatic mutations in this disease which presents an opportunity for precision medicine. We demonstrate that KMT2D, a histone methyltransferase harbors somatic mutations in ~17% of HNSCC and is associated with 2-year recurrence in TCGA data. Consistent with algorithmic prediction of bring a driver tumor-suppressor event, its loss results in larger oral tumors in immune-proficient orthotopic models. Mechanistically, we find that KMT2D knockdown or KMT2D mutation causes loss of H3K4me1-marked enhancers harboring IRF7/9 binding sites, which is known to regulate interferon signaling. Indeed, KMT2D loss in human and murine cell lines deregulated transcriptional levels of cytokine expression and impacted numerous immune signaling pathways, including interferon signaling. Consistently, Kmt2d knockdown in murine tumors exhibited decrease in IFN-producing effector T cells and an increase in T-cells with an exhausted phenotype. Epistasis experiments showed that exogenous treatment with IFNabrogated the increased tumor growth in Kmt2d-deficient oral tumors. Together, these results support the role of KMT2D as a tumor suppressor in HNSCC that regulates the tumor microenvironment by modulating H3K4me1-marked enhancers controlling interferon signaling.

Project description:KMT2D is required in the cardiac mesoderm, anterior heart field precursors and cardiomyocytes. Kmt2d deletion in cardiac mesoderm (Mesp1Cre) is embryonic lethal at E10.5 and mutants have hypoplastic hearts; Kmt2d deletion in anterior heart field precursors (Mef2cAHF::Cre) deletion is embryonic lethal at E13.5 and mutants have defects in septation of outflow tract and interventricular septum (IVS); Kmt2d deletion in cardiomyocytes (Tnnt2::Cre) deletion is embryonic lethal at E14.5 and mutants have defects in IVS septation and compact myocardium. The goal of this study is to compare changes in gene expression in these Kmt2d conditional deletion mutants and understand common or distinct pathways dysregulated in absence of KMT2D. Whole genome gene expression analysis was performed on RNA isolated from control and mutant embryonic hearts (or right ventricles and outflow tract for anterior heart field deletion samples). Libraries were prepared using Illumina TruSeq Paired-End Cluster Kit v3, and sequenced with the Illumina HiSeq 2500 system for pair-ended 100 base pairs (PE 100 bp).
