BMAL1-depletion remodels ceramide metabolism to regulate ferroptosis and sorafenib chemosensitivity in acute myeloid leukemia

ABSTRACT: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematologic malignancy with a poor prognosis. We discovered that BMAL1 is a ferroptosis suppressor. Furthermore, it was also found to be overexpressed in AML patients, affecting the cell cycle and promoting tumor cell growth and progression. In this study, we further validated the association of BMAL1 with the progression and survival outcomes of AML. Lipidomic revealed that the levels of ceramide increased in AML cells following the depletion of BMAL1. Ceramide facilitated ferroptosis in AML cells. ASAH2 played a key role in this process. BMAL1 could not directly regulate ASAH2 but instead through IKZF2. Elevated levels of ceramide promoted the degradation of the ferroptosis protection molecule GPX4, ultimately promoting ferroptosis. Furthermore, ceramide treatment has been demonstrated to enhance the responsiveness of AML cells to sorafenib. In summary, this study elucidates that BMAL1 depletion remodels ceramide metabolism to regulate the sensitivity of AML cells to ferroptosis and targeted drug sorafenib.

Ceramide-dependent vesicle secretion modulates the integrated stress response in hematopoietic stem cells

Project description:Cellular crosstalk within the bone marrow niche maintains hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) integrity and safeguards lifelong blood and immune cell production. Deeper understanding of reciprocal niche signals governing crucial properties of HSPCs is relevant to the pathophysiology of blood disorders and improving HSPC transplantation. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are key factors of the HSPC secretome, providing signals that regulate homeostasis and stemness. Here we demonstrate ex vivo blockade of ceramide-dependent vesicle secretion from HSPCs activates an integrated stress response (ISR), promoting downstream mTOR inhibition and metabolic quiescence. Crucially, ceramide-EV depletion leads to striking improvements in long-term transplantation. The aggregate findings link ceramide-dependent EV secretion and the ISR as a regulatory dyad guarding HSPC homeostasis and long-term fitness. Translationally, these data support exploration of ceramide inhibition during ex vivo maintenance of HSPCs for adoptive transfer.

Proteogenomic analysis of relapsed acute myeloid leukemia in adults and children

Project description:Despite improvement of current treatment strategies and novel targeted drugs, relapse and treatment resistance determine the major cause of death for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. To identify the underlying molecular characteristics, numerous studies have been aimed to decipher the genomic- and transcriptomic landscape of AML. Nevertheless, further molecular changes allowing malignant cells to escape treatment are yet to be elucidated. Mass spectrometry is a powerful tool enabling detailed insights into proteomic changes that could explain AML relapse and resistance. Here, we investigated AML samples from 47 adult and 22 pediatric patients at serial time-points during disease progression using high resolution isoelectric focusing liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. We show that the proteomic profile at relapse is enriched for mitochondrial ribosomal proteins and subunits of the respiratory chain complex, indicative of reprogrammed energy metabolism from diagnosis to relapse. Further, higher levels of granzymes and lower levels of the anti-inflammatory protein CR1/CD35 suggest an inflammatory signature promoting disease progression. Finally, through a proteogenomic approach, we detected novel peptides, which present a promising repertoire in the search for biomarkers and tumor-specific druggable targets. Altogether, this study highlights the importance of proteomic studies in holistic approaches to improve treatment and survival of AML patients.

SCP4-STK35/PDIK1L complex is a dual phospho-catalytic signaling dependency in acute myeloid leukemia

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells rely on phospho-signaling pathways to gain unlimited proliferation potential. Here, we used domain-focused CRISPR screening to identify the nuclear phosphatase SCP4 as a dependency in AML, yet this enzyme is dispensable in normal hematopoietic progenitor cells. Using CRISPR exon scanning and gene complementation assays, we show that the catalytic function of SCP4 is essential in AML. Through mass spectrometry analysis of affinity-purified complexes, we identify the kinase paralogs STK35 and PDIK1L as binding partners and substrates of the SCP4 phosphatase domain. We show that STK35 and PDIK1L function catalytically and redundantly in the same pathway as SCP4 to maintain AML proliferation and to support amino acid biosynthesis and transport. We provide evidence that SCP4 regulates STK35/PDIK1L through two distinct mechanisms: catalytic removal of inhibitory phosphorylation and by promoting kinase stability. Our findings reveal a phosphatase-kinase signaling complex that supports the pathogenesis of AML.

Targeting UGCG sensitizes AML cells to Venetoclax through RAB32-mediated endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondria communication

Project description:UDP-glucose ceramide glucosyltransferase (UGCG) is an enzyme that glycosylates ceramide and blunts its pro-apoptotic activity in cancer cells. Targeting UGCG sensitizes solid cancer cells to chemotherapy. However, whether targeting UGCG can increase the sensitivity of AML cells to Venetoclax remains unclear. Here, we found that the inhibition of UGCG genetically or with its inhibitor Eliglustat efficiently suppressed growth and promoted apoptosis in AML cells. Moreover, Eliglustat in combination with Venetoclax increased apoptosis, reduced AML cell viability, and inhibited AML effectively both for primary AML cells and xenograft models. Mechanistically, the combination induced ceramide accumulation which activated the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-GRP78/PERK/CHOP axis. Interestingly, combinatory treatment activated RAB32, which led to mitochondrial fission through ER-mitochondria communication and DRP1 activation. These findings demonstrate that targeting UGCG in combination with Venetoclax is a new combinatory strategy to treat AML, and provide new insights for ceramide-mediated cell death in anti-cancer therapies.

Regulation of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and venetoclax efficacy in AML via COX4I1

Project description:Cell signaling pathways are enriched for biological processes crucial for cellular communication, response to external stimuli, and metabolism. Here, we conducted a cell signaling-focused CRISPR screen and identified cytochrome c oxidase subunit 4I1 (COX4I1) as a novel vulnerability in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Depletion of COX4I1 hindered leukemia cell proliferation and impacted in vivo AML progression. Mechanistically, loss of COX4I1 induced mitochondrial stress and ferroptosis, disrupting mitochondrial ultrastructure and oxidative phosphorylation. CRISPR gene tiling scans, coupled with mitochondrial proteomics, dissected critical regions within COX4I1 essential for leukemia cell survival, providing detailed insights into the mitochondrial Complex IV assembly network. Furthermore, COX4I1 depletion or pharmacological inhibition of Complex IV (using chlorpromazine) synergized with venetoclax, providing a promising avenue for improved leukemia therapy. Our study highlights COX4I1 as a critical mitochondrial checkpoint, offering insights into its functional significance and potential clinical implications.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia Promotes the Development and Function of Type 3 Innate Lymphoid Cells

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive hematologic malignancy with poor overall survival. Understanding how dysregulated immunity contributes to the development and progression of AML is an active area of investigation. Prior work has demonstrated functional defects in natural killer (NK) cells; however, the role of non-NK innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) in AML is not completely understood. Conventional ILC3s are non-cytotoxic and regulate mucosal immunity by secreting cytokines. Prior studies showed that AML blasts secrete aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) ligands, and AHR is required for ILC3 development and function. In this study, we discovered an expansion of ILC3s in both a murine model of AML and in AML patients. Modeling studies demonstrated ILC3 expansion was mediated by AHR activation. ILC3s in the setting of AML had increased cytokine production, and co-culture of ILC3s significantly increased AML colony formation, which was mediated by TNFα. Furthermore, co-transfer of ILC3s with AML led to more rapid disease progression in vivo. These data support a model in which AML promotes ILC3 expansion and function to aid AML growth and survival.

caArray_golub-00392: Gefitinib (Iressa) induces myeloid differentiation of acute myeloid leukemia

Project description:Cure rates for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remain low despite ever-increasing dose intensity of cytotoxic therapy. In an effort to identify novel approaches to AML therapy, we recently reported a new method of chemical screening based on the modulation of a gene expression signature of interest. We applied this approach to the discovery of AML-differentiation-promoting compounds. Among the compounds inducing neutrophilic differentiation was DAPH1 (4,5-dianilinophthalimide), previously reported to inhibit epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase activity. Here we report that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved EGFR inhibitor gefitinib similarly promotes the differentiation of AML cell lines and primary patient-derived AML blasts in vitro. Gefitinib induced differentiation based on morphologic assessment, nitro-blue tetrazolium reduction, cell-surface markers, genome-wide patterns of gene expression, and inhibition of proliferation at clinically achievable doses. Importantly, EGFR expression was not detected in AML cells, indicating that gefitinib functions through a previously unrecognized EGFR-independent mechanism. These studies indicate that clinical trials testing the efficacy of gefitinib in patients with AML are warranted. golub-00392 Assay Type: Gene Expression Provider: Affymetrix Array Designs: HG-U133A, HG-U133A_2 Organism: Homo sapiens (ncbitax) Material Types: cell, total_RNA, synthetic_RNA, organism_part, whole_organism*Cell Types: Disease States: Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Normal, Acute Myeloid Leukemia

RNA sequencing of the silenced gene CYTH4 in acute myeloid leukemia cell lines

Project description:In silico analysis revealed an elevated expression of cytohesin-4 (CYTH4) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells, correlating with a poorer prognosis for AML patients. However its role in AML is not fully understood. Our study using loss-of-function assays identified CYTH4 as an oncogene promoting leukemogenesis. Silencing CYTH4 in MV4-11 and THP-1 cells reduced cell proliferation, colony formation, and induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G0/G1, whereas overexpression had no significant impact. CYTH4 silencing also increased chemosensitivity to cytarabine. In a THP-1 xenograft model, CYTH4 silencing slowed AML progression and reduced leukemic cell homing and infiltration. Mechanistically, CYTH4 silencing inhibited PI3K/AKT pathway by lowering PIK3R5 and decreased ARF6-GTP levels, as confirmed by pull-down assays. Overexpression of PIK3R5 and AKT activation via SC-79 successfully countered the cellular dysfunctions from CYTH4 silencing. Thus, CYTH4 may play a role in AML progression, and targeting its pathway could be a promising anti-leukemic treatment strategy.

Expression analysis of Kasumi-1 cells treated with or without FTY720

Project description:The clinical outcomes of M2 subtype Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML-M2) with t(8;21) are poor. Here we report that FTY720 (Fingolimod), a sphingosine analogue and an FDA approved drug for treatment of multiple sclerosis, showed great antitumorigenic activity against Kasumi-1 cell line, xenograft mouse model and leukemic blasts isolated from AML-M2 with t(8;21) patients. Primary investigation indicated that FTY720 caused cell apoptosis through caspase and protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) activation. Transcriptomic profiling further revealed that FTY720 treatment could upregulate AML1 target genes and interfere with genes involved in ceramide synthesis. FTY720 treatment led to the elimination of AML1-ETO oncoprotein and caused cell cycle arrest. More importantly, FTY720 treatment resulted in rapid and significant increment of pro-apoptotic ceramide levels, determined by HPLC-ESI-MS/MS (high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry) based lipidomic approaches. Additionally, structural simulation model indicated that the directly binding of ceramide to inhibitor 2 of PP2A (I2PP2A) could reactivate PP2A and cause cell death. This study demonstrates, for the first time, that accumulation of ceramide plays a central role in FTY720 induced cell death of AML-M2 with t(8;21). Targeting sphingolipid metabolism by using FTY720 may provide novel insight into drug development for AML-M2 treatment. A six chip study using total RNA recovered from three separate cultures of DMSO-treated Kasumi-1 cells and three separate cultures of FTY720-treated Kasumi-1 cells.Each chip measures the expression level of genes from DMSO-/FTY720-treated Kasumi-1 cells.
