Project description:The transcription factor Meis1 drives myeloid leukemogenesis in the context of Hox gene overexpression but is currently considered undruggable. We therefore investigated whether myeloid progenitor cells transformed by Hoxa9 and Meis1 become addicted to targetable signaling pathways. A comprehensive (phospho)proteomic analysis revealed that Meis1 increased Syk protein expression and activity. Syk upregulation occurs through a Meis1-dependent feed-forward loop. By dissecting this loop, we show that Syk is a direct target of miR-146a, whose expression is indirectly regulated by Meis1 through the transcription factor PU.1. In the context of Hoxa9 overexpression, Syk induces Meis1, recapitulating several leukemogenic features of Hoxa9/Meis1-driven leukemia. Finally, we show that Syk inhibition disrupts the identified regulatory loop, prolonging survival of mice with Hoxa9/Meis1-driven leukemia.

Project description:In eukaryotes, many transcription factors (TF) usually form dimers or oligomers with itself or other TFs to regulate gene expression. To study how homo- and heterodimerization of TFs affect DNA binding specificity, we developed a double DNA Affinity Purification sequencing (double DAP-seq; dDAP-seq) technique that maps heterodimer binding sites in endogenous genome context and applied it to elucidate the binding profiles of homo- and heterodimers of the Group C and S1 basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors in Arabidopsis. Genome-wide binding profiles of twenty pairs of bZIP C/S1 heterodimers and bZIP S1 homodimers revealed that heterodimerization significantly expands the DNA binding preferences of homodimers, creating unique binding sites and target gene functions. In addition to the classical ACGT elements recognized by plant bZIPs, we found the Group C/S1 dimers bind to sequence motifs that might share an origin with the yeast bZIP GCN4. Further analysis of heterodimer-specific binding sequences uncovered two types of motif recognition patterns that mediate heterodimer specificity. Our study shed light on the functions and mechanisms of TF dimerization and demonstrated the potential of dDAP-seq in deciphering the complexity of these interactions within or across TF families.

Project description:Meis1 is found cooperatively activated with Hoxa7/a9 in AML, and it indeed promotes leukemogenic activities of Hoxa9. It is important to identify downstream target genes of Meis1 to understand its cooperative activity with Hoxa9 in leukemogenesis. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression upon Meis1 knockout. Murine primary bone marrow cells of the Rosa26-Cre-ERT2 knock-in mouse were transformed by retroviral transduction of Hoxa9 and floxed Meis1. The immortalized bone marrow cells were treated with 2 μM of 4-hydroxytamoxifen to delete Meis1 cDNA. Gene expression profiles were compared between the original Hoxa9/Meis1-expressing cells and Meis1 deleted (Hoxa9 only) cells.

Project description:To investigate whether co-expression of PBX3/MEIS1 can mimic that of MLL-AF9, HOXA9/MEIS1 or HOXA9/PBX3 in inducing leukemogenesis, we conducted in vivo mouse bone marrow transplantation (BMT) assays. Briefly, normal mouse bone marrow (BM) progenitor (i.e., lineage negative; Lin-) cells collected from B6.SJL (CD45.1) donor mice (CD45.1) were retrovirally co-transduced with MSCVneo-MLL-AF9+MSCV-PIG (MLL-AF9), MSCVneo-HOXA9+MSCV-PIG (HOXA9), MSCVneo-HOXA9+MSCV-PIG-MEIS1 (HOXA9+MEIS1), MSCVneo-HOXA9+MSCV-PIG-PBX3 (HOXA9+PBX3), MSCV-PIG-PBX3+MSCVneo-MEIS1 (PBX3+MEIS1), MSCVneo+MSCV-PIG-PBX3 (PBX3) , MSCVneo+MSCV-PIG-MEIS1 (MEIS1), or MSCVneo+MSCV-PIG (normal control; NC). Retrovirally transduced cells then were cultured with cytokines as well as puromycin and G418. Seven days later, the donor cells were transplanted into lethally irradiated (960 rads) 8- to 10-week-old C57BL/6 (CD45.2) recipient mice. The transplanted mice were watched for leukemogenesis. Then, gene expression profiling was conducted with bone marrow samples collected from leukemia groups and control group.

Project description:Prep1 is a tumor-suppressor, whereas Meis1 is an oncogene. We show that to perform these activities in MEFs both proteins competitively hetero-dimerize with Pbx1. Meis1 alone transforms Prep1-deficient fibroblasts while Prep1 overexpression inhibits Meis1 tumorigenicity. Pbx1 can therefore alternatively act as oncogene or tumor-suppressor. Prep1 post-translationally controls the level of Meis1 decreasing its stability by sequestering Pbx1. The different levels of Meis1 and the presence of Prep1 are followed at the transcriptional level by the induction of specific transcriptional signatures. The decrease of Meis1 prevents Meis1 interaction with Ddx3x and Ddx5, which are essential for Meis1 tumorigenesis, and modifies the growth promoting DNA binding landscape of Meis1 to the growth controlling landscape of Prep1. Hence the key feature of Prep1 tumor inhibiting activity is the control of Meis1 stability.

Project description:OBJECTIVE: MEIS1, a HOX cofactor, collaborates with multiple HOX proteins, such as HOXA9, to accelerate the onset of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) through largely unknown molecular mechanisms. To further resolve these mechanisms, we conducted a structure-function analysis of Meis1 and gene expression profiling, in the context of Hoxa9 leukemogenesis. RESULTS: We show, in a murine bone marrow transplantation model, that the homeodomain of Meis1 is required for leukemogenic collaboration with Hoxa9. Gene expression profiling of a Hoxa9 preleukemic cell line transduced with wild-type or Meis1 homeodomain mutant reveal deregulation of multiple genes including a set not previously implicated as Meis1 targets. Murine bone marrow cells transduced with Hoxa9-GFP + empty MIY vector were compared to Hoxa9+Meis1 cells or Hoxa9+Meis1 with deleted homeodomain (DHD) cells and cultured for three or four weeks before harvest for miRNA expression array. Four independent experiments were performed for each of the three different conditions included in the study. Cells from all samples were also transplanted into lethally irradiated mice to test for their transforming and leukemic potential.

Project description:OBJECTIVE: The microRNA miR-155 is upregulated in Hoxa9 and Meis1 leukemia inducing cells (LIC) , and miR-155 accelerates the onset of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) together with Hoxa9 but through largely unknown molecular mechanisms. The impact of miR-155 on accelerated onset of leukemia in the context of Hoxa9 and Meis1 is also unclear. To further resolve this, we performed a gene expression profiling, in the context of Hoxa9 and Meis1 leukemogenesis with miR-155 knocked out. RESULTS: Gene expression profiling of Hoxa9/Meis1 LIC without miR-155 does not delay the onset of AML and the gene expression changes are small
