Project description:Fusion proteins involving the ETS factor ERG have been associated with multiple cancers such as Ewing's sarcoma and prostate cancer. In acute myeloid leukemias harboring t(16;21) another ERG fusion protein is expressed, FUS-ERG. Here, we found that this FUS-ERG oncofusion protein acts in the context of a heptad of proteins (ERG, FLI1, GATA2, LYL1, LNMO2, RUNX1 and TAL1) central to proper expression of genes involved in maintaining a stem cell hematopoietic phenotype. Moreover, in t(16;21) FUS-ERG co-occupies genomic regions bound by the nuclear receptor heterodimer RXR-RARA inhibiting target gene expression and interfering with hematopoietic differentiation. All-Trans Retinoic Acid treatment of t(16;21) cells as well as FUS-ERG knock down alleviate the myeloid differentiation block. Together, the results suggest that FUS-ERG acts as a transcriptional repressor of the retinoic acid signaling pathway. Cell lines were used for RNA extraction for RNA-seq and ChIP experiments for ChIP-seq.

Project description:Retinoic acid receptors (RARs) α, β and γ are key regulators of embryonic development. Hematopoietic differentiation is regulated by RARα, and several types of leukemia show aberrant RARα activity. We demonstrate that RARα plays an important role in cellular memory and imprinting by regulating the CpG methylation status of specific promoter regions. We used microarrays to identify genes, which display differential expression in F9 RARalpha knockout (RARaKO) cells relative to F9 wt cells. F9 teratocarcinoma cells (WT and RARaKO) were treated for 8 hours with either vehicle (EtOH) or all-trans Retinoic Acid (atRA) in the presence of the protein synthesis inhibitor Cycloheximide

Project description:ERG has been identified as an essential factor for the function and maintenance of adult hematopoietic stem cells and high ERG expression is a negative prognostic marker for treatment outcome in AML. The molecular function of ERG and its interplay with other factors is however largely unknown. Here we demonstrate that ERG has cell type specific distributions in normal CD34+ myeloid progenitors and in AML cells and identify ERG as a potential pioneering protein for binding of oncofusion protein complexes. In addition, we identify H3 acetylation as the epigenetic mark preferentially associated with ERG binding. This intimate connection between ERG binding and H3 acetylation implies that one of the molecular strategies of the oncofusion proteins PML-RARa and AML1-ETO could involve the targeting of histone deacetylase activities to ETS factor bound hematopoietic regulatory sites. Examination of AML1-ETO, RUNX1, CBFb, HEB, FLI1 and ERG binding sites (ChIP-seq) in leukemic and normal hematopoietic cells, association with chromatin modifications and expression (RNA-seq) analysis of an AML1-ETO expressing cell line (SKNO-1)

Project description:Erg is an ETS family transcription factor frequently overexpressed in human leukemias and has been implicated as a key regulator of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). However how Erg controls normal hematopoiesis, particularly at the stem cell level, remains poorly understood. Using homologous recombination, we generated an Erg knockdown allele (Ergkd) in which Erg expression can be restored upon Cre-mediated excision of a Stopper cassette. In Ergkd/+ mice, ~40% reduction in Erg dosage perturbed both fetal liver and bone marrow hematopoiesis by reducing the numbers of Lin-Sca-1+c-Kit+ (LSK) hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) and megakaryocytic progenitors. By genetic mosaic analysis, we found Erg-restored HSPCs outcompeted Ergkd/+ HSPCs for contributing to adult hematopoiesis in vivo. Intriguingly, HSC differentiation also appeared attenuated, leading to accumulation of long-term HSCs in the mutant LSK population. Accordingly, microarray analysis of Erg-restored and Ergkd/+ HSPCs from the same animal revealed enrichment of stem cell-related pathways in Ergkd/+ HSPCs. Overall, reduced Erg dosage perturbs hematopoiesis by reducing HSC numbers and impairing HSC differentiation, possibly via two Erg targets, Jun and Myc.

Project description:The pseudokinase Trib1 functions as a myeloid oncogene that recruits E3 ubiquitin ligase COP1 to C/EBP, and interacts with MEK1 to enhance ERK phosphorylation. Close genetic interaction between Trib1 and Hoxa9 has been observed in myeloid leukemogenesis as Trib1 overexpression significantly accelerates Hoxa9-induced leukemia onset. Yet the mechanism how Trib1 functionally modulates Hoxa9 transcription activity is unclear. Here we provide evidence that Trib1 modulates Hoxa9-associated super-enhancers. ChIP-seq analyses identified increased Histone H3K27Ac signals at the super-enhancers such as Erg, Aff3, Spns2 and Coro2 loci, as well as increased mRNA expression of these genes. The modification of super-enhancer activities is mostly achieved by degradation of C/EBP by Trib1 and the MEK/ERK pathway only slightly contributes to the activities. Silencing of Erg abrogates the growth advantage acquired by Trib1 overexpression, indicating that Erg is a critical downstream target of the Trib1/Hoxa9 axis. Moreover, treatment of AML cells with the BRD4 inhibitor JQ1 showed growth inhibition in the Trib1/Erg-dependent manner. Upregulation of ERG by TRIB1 was also observed in human AML cell lines, suggesting that Trib1 is a potential target of Hoxa9-associated AML.

Project description:Reintroduction of CEBPA in MN1-overexpressing hematopoietic cells prevents their hyper-proliferation and restores myeloid differentiation. Forced expression of MN1 in primitive mouse hematopoietic cells causes acute myeloid leukemia and impairs all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) induced granulocytic differentiation. Here, we studied the effects of MN1 on myeloid differentiation and proliferation using primary human CD34+ hematopoietic cells, lineage depleted mouse bone marrow cells, and bipotential (granulocytic/monocytic) human AML-cell lines. We show that exogenous MN1 stimulated the growth of CD34+ cells, which was accompanied by enhanced survival and increased cell cycle traverse in cultures supporting progenitor cell growth. Forced MN1 expression impaired both granulocytic and monocytic differentiation in vitro in primary hematopoietic cells and AML cell lines. Endogenous MN1 expression was higher in human CD34+ cells compared to both primary and in vitro differentiated monocytes and granulocytes. Microarray and real time RT-PCR analysis of MN1-overexpressing CD34+ cells showed down regulation of CEBPA and its downstream target genes. Re-introduction of conditional and constitutive CEBPA overcame the effects of MN1 on myeloid differentiation and inhibited MN1-induced proliferation in vitro. These results indicate that down regulation of CEBPA activity contributes to MN1-modulated proliferation and impaired myeloid differentiation of hematopoietic cells Human BM derived CD34+ cells (Stemcell Technologies, Vancouver, BC, Canada) were expanded for 2 days and transduced with MSCV-IRES-GFP or MSCV-MN1-IRES-GFP retrovirus for another 2 days. One day later RNA was isolated from GFP+/CD34+ FACS-sorted cells using Trizol (Sigma) and samples were subjected to micro array analysis following Affymetrix protocols (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA) using the GeneChip Human U133 Plus 2.0 array

Project description:ERG is an Ets-transcription factor required for normal blood stem cell development. High ERG expression in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is associated with a stem cell signature and poor prognosis. In murine over-expression models, human ERG is a potent oncogene that induces both T-ALL and AML. However the functional and molecular consequences of high ERG expression in normal hematopoietic stem/progenitors (HSPCs), and how this contributes to leukemia development, are unknown. Here we show that retroviral transduction of ERG into human CD34+ cells and maintenance of ERG at levels present in high ERG AML results in altered myeloid and T cell differentiation and an increase in the self-renewal capacity of transduced progenitors but not the more primitive stem cell compartment. Integrated analysis of genome-wide expression in high ERG CD34+ and ERG binding profiles in HSPCs revealed that these functional characteristics were accompanied by an expression signature that was enriched in normal HSCs, high ERG AMLs, early T-cell precursor (ETP)-ALLs and leukemic stem cell signatures associated with poor clinical outcome. The proliferative advantage of high ERG progenitors may provide a cellular context for the acquisition and propagation of mutations that contribute to the pathogenesis of leukaemia.
