Project description:In acute myeloid leukemia, chemotherapy resistance remains prevalent and poorly understood. Using functional proteomics of patient AML specimens, we identified MEF2C S222 phosphorylation as a specific marker of primary chemoresistance. We found that transgenic Mef2cS222A/S222A mice engineered to block MEF2C phosphorylation exhibited normal hematopoiesis, but were resistant to leukemogenesis induced by MLL-AF9. MEF2C phosphorylation was required for leukemia stem cell maintenance, induced by MARK kinases in cells, and blocked by selective MARK inhibitor MRT199665, which caused apoptosis of MEF2C-activated human AML cell lines and primary patient specimens, but not those lacking MEF2C. These findings identify signaling-dependent dysregulation of transcription factor control as a determinant of therapy response in AML, with immediate potential for improved diagnosis and therapy for this disease.

Project description:Despite recent advances in the identification of lymphoid-restricted progenitors, the transcription factors essential for their generation remain to be identified. Here we describe an unexpected role for the myeloid oncogene Mef2c in multipotent progenitors (MPPs), where it is required for pan-lymphoid differentiation. Mef2c deficiency was associated with profound defects in B, T, NK cell and common lymphoid progenitor production and an enhanced myeloid output. Mef2c deficiency in MPPs leads to downregulation of several key lymphoid regulators and the upregulation of the myeloid factor C/EBPa. Our studies also show that Mef2c is a critical transcriptional target of PU.1 during lymphopoiesis. Thus, Mef2c is a crucial component of the transcriptional network that regulates lymphoid specification and cell fate choice in MPPs.

Project description:We performed bulk RNA-seq, transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-Seq) and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-seq on Asxl1-/-Jak2VF and Jak2VF BM c-kit+ cells to elucidate the transcriptional and associated epigenetic alterations after Asxl1 deletion. GSEA showed that the upregulated genes in Asxl1-/-Jak2VF were significantly associated with bona fide PcG target genes, as identified by the overlap between H3K27me3 and H2AK119ub1 ChIP-seq experiments . Integrated analysis of RNA-seq and ATAC-seq data showed that there existed a significant increase of chromatin accessibility associated with upregulated genes, and these sites with gained accessibility were enriched with increased levels of H3K4me1 and H3K27ac, histone marks of active enhancers in Asxl1-/-Jak2VF BM c-kit+ cells. Moreover, PcG target gene Egr1 was upregulated in BM c-kit+ cells compared with other three genotypes and considered as key gene for disease phenotypes.

Project description:The mammalian RNA-binding protein AUF1 (AU-binding factor 1, also known as heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein D, hnRNP D) binds to numerous mRNAs and influences their post-transcriptional fate. Given that many AUF1 target mRNAs encode muscle-specific factors, we investigated the function of AUF1 in skeletal muscle differentiation. In mouse C2C12 myocytes, where AUF1 levels rise at the onset of myogenesis and remain elevated throughout myocyte differentiation into myotubes, RIP (RNP immunoprecipitation) analysis indicated that AUF1 binds prominently to Mef2c (myocyte enhancer factor 2c) mRNA, which encodes the key myogenic transcription factor Mef2c. By performing mRNA half-life measurements and polysome distribution analysis, we found that AUF1 associated with the 3M-bM-^@M-^YUTR of Mef2c mRNA and promoted Mef2c translation without affecting Mef2c mRNA stability. In addition, AUF1 promoted Mef2c gene transcription via a lesser-known role of AUF1 in transcriptional regulation. Importantly, lowering AUF1 delayed myogenesis, while ectopically restoring Mef2c expression levels partially rescued the impairment of myogenesis seen after reducing AUF1 levels. We propose that Mef2c is a key effector of the myogenesis program promoted by AUF1.

Differentiation was induced on sub-confluent cultures by replacing the growth media (GM, DMEM with 10% FBS) with differentiation media (DM, DMEM with 2% horse serum). At various time points after differentiation, cells were harvested and RNA was extracted with phenol-chloroform and either saved as input samples for microarrys or subjected to AUF1 or IgG ribonucleoprotein immunoprecipitation. C2C12 cells cultured in GM and DM were lysed in 20 mM Tris-HCl at pH 7.5, 100 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, and 0.5% NP-40 for 10 min on ice and centrifuged at 15,000 M-CM-^W g for 10 min at 4M-BM-0C. The supernatants were incubated with protein-A Dynabeads beads coated with anti-AUF1 (Millipore) or with control IgG (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) antibodies for 2 hr at 4M-BM-0C. The beads were washed with NT2 buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl [pH 7.5], 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 0.05% NP-40), followed by incubation with 20 units of RNase-free DNase I for 15 min at 37M-BM-0C to remove the DNA. The samples were then incubated for 15 min at 55M-BM-0C with 0.1% SDS/0.5 mg/ml Proteinase K to digest proteins. The RNA from the IP samples was extracted using phenol-chloroform, precipitated, and used along with the RNA from the input samples for cDNA microarrays.

Project description:In acute myeloid leukemia, chemotherapy resistance remains prevalent and poorly understood. Using functional proteomics of patient AML specimens, we identified MEF2C S222 phosphorylation as a specific marker of primary chemoresistance. We found that transgenic Mef2cS222A/S222A mice engineered to block MEF2C phosphorylation exhibited normal hematopoiesis, but were resistant to leukemogenesis induced by MLL-AF9. MEF2C phosphorylation was required for leukemia stem cell maintenance, induced by MARK kinases in cells, and blocked by selective MARK inhibitor MRT199665, which caused apoptosis of MEF2C-activated human AML cell lines and primary patient specimens, but not those lacking MEF2C. These findings identify signaling-dependent dysregulation of transcription factor control as a determinant of therapy response in AML, with immediate potential for improved diagnosis and therapy for this disease.
