Project description:The RNA splicing factor SF3B1 is recurrently mutated in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), but its functional role in the pathogenesis of this disease has not been firmly established. Here, we show that conditional expression of heterozygous Sf3b1-K700E mutation in mouse B lineage cells disrupts pre-mRNA splicing, alters B-cell development and function, and induces a state of cellular senescence. B-cell restricted expression of this mutation combined with Atm deletion led to the overcoming of cellular senescence, together with enhanced genome instability and the development of clonal B220+CD5+ CLL cells in elderly mice at low penetrance. Mice with CLL-like disease were found to have amplifications of chromosomes 15 and 17. Integrated transcriptome and proteome analysis of the CLL-like cells revealed coordinated dysregulation of multiple CLL-associated cellular processes. This included an unexpected signature of deregulated B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling, which we could also identify in SF3B1-mutated CLL samples from two independent patient cohorts. Notably, human CLLs harboring SF3B1 mutations exhibited greater sensitivity and altered response kinetics to BTK kinase ibrutinib. Our genetically faithful murine model of CLL thus reveals fresh insights regarding the impact of SF3B1 mutation on CLL pathogenesis and suggests a system for identifying vulnerabilities related to this mutation that can be further exploited for the treatment of CLLs with this common mutation.

Project description:RNA splicing factor SF3B1 is recurrently mutated in various cancers, particularly in hematological malig-nancies. We previously reported that co-expression of Sf3b1 mutation and Atm deletion in B cells, but not either lesion alone, leads to the onset of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with CLL cells harboring chromosome amplification. However, the exact role of Sf3b1 mutation and Atm deletion in chromosomal instability (CIN) remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that SF3B1 mutation promotes centromeric R-loop (cen-R-loop) accumulation, leading to increased chromosome oscillation, impaired chromosome segrega-tion, altered spindle architecture and aneuploidy, which can be alleviated by removal of cen-R-loop and exaggerated by deletion of ATM. Aberrant splicing of key genes involved in R-loop processing underlies augmentation of cen-R-loop as overexpression of the normal isoform, but not the altered form, mitigates mitotic stress in SF3B1 mutant cells. Our study underscores the critical role of novel splice variants in link-ing RNA splicing dysregulation and CIN, and highlights cen-R-loop augmentation as a key mechanism for leukemogenesis.

Project description:Recurrent mutations in RNA splicing factors SF3B1, U2AF1, and SRSF2 have been reported in hematologic cancers including myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). However, SF3B1 is the only splicing associated gene to be found mutated in CLL and has been shown to induce aberrant splicing. To investigate if any other genomic aberration caused similar transcriptome changes, we clustered RNASeq samples based on an alternative 3’ splice site (ss) pattern previously identified in SF3B1-mutant CLL patients. Out of 215 samples, we identified 37 (17%) with alternative 3’ ss usage, the majority of which harbored known SF3B1 hotspot mutations. Interestingly, 3 patient samples carried previously unreported in-frame deletions in SF3B1 around K700, the most frequent mutation hotspot. To study the functional effects of these deletions, we used various minigenes demonstrating that recognition of canonical 3’ ss and alternative branchsite are required for aberrant splicing, as observed for SF3B1 p.K700E. The common mechanism of action of these deletions and substitutions result in similar sensitivity of primary cells towards splicing inhibitor E7107. Altogether, these data demonstrate that novel SF3B1 in-frame deletion events identified in CLL result in aberrant splicing, a common biomarker in spliceosome-mutant cancers.

Project description:Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is a heterogeneous disease with a variable clinical course strictly dependent on cytogenetic and molecular features. However, in 15-20% of cases both conventional cytogenetic and FISH analyses do not show any kind of abnormality. With the aim to identify dependable molecular prognostic factors in this subgroup, we evaluated 171 CLL patients, without aberrations detected by chromosome banding and FISH analysis. A comprehensive analysis was performed including genomic arrays (CGH+SNP), IGHV status, flow cytometry and a targeted sequencing. By genomic arrays, we detected 73 aberrations in 39 patients (23%). Most frequently, patients had 1 aberration (25/171; 15%), while 14 patients (8%) had at least 2 aberrations. IGHV unmutated status was present in 53/171 (31%) patients. SF3B1 was the most frequently mutated gene (26/171 patients; 15%), followed by NOTCH1 (n=15, 9%), ATM (n=5; 3%); TP53 (n=5; 3%); KLHL6 (n=5; 3%); MYD88 (n=5; 3%) and XPO1 (n=5; 3%). At univariate analysis, an adverse impact on time to treatment (TTT) was evident for SF3B1 mutations, higher white blood cell count, higher CLL cells percentage by flow cytometry, CD38 positivity, IGHV unmutated status and at least 2 genomic array abnormalities. Of them, SF3B1 mutations, CLL cells percentage, IGHV unmutated status and number of genomic array aberrations maintained their impact in multivariate analysis. In conclusion, integrating genomic and molecular data, we identified patients at higher risk for treatment need. Therefore, we suggest to evaluate these factors for a better prognostic stratification of normal karyotype CLL subset.

Project description:Mutations of SF3B1 in CLL induce alternative splicing in multiple transcripts, including DVL2. DVL2 in turn can act as a negative regulator of NOTCH1 signaling. Gene Expression Profile (GEP) was used to investigate the activation of the NOTCH1 pathway in presence of alternatively spliced DVL2.

Project description:To analyze expression differences between Trp53 pro-and deficient as well as Atm pro- and deficient murine CLL tumors developing in the Eµ-TCL1 mouse model, we analyzed splenocytes isolated from heavily infiltrated spleens of sick mice. To investigate differences in the response to cyclophosphamide, we also analyzed splenocytes from leukemic animals that were isolated twelve hours after intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide.

Project description:Several DNA sequencing studies of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) revealed that the splicing factor SF3B1 accumulated somatic point mutations in about 10 percent of the patients. In most cases the mutations were located in the genomic regions coding for the C-terminal HEAT-repeat domain and in many cases, the mutations gave rise to specific amino acid substitutions. Here, we aimed to investigate differential usage of exons associated with the mutation K700E of SF3B1 in CLL tumuor cells. We generated RNA-Seq transcriptome data from two patients with mutations in SF3B1, two patient without mutations in SF3B1 and from healthy donors. We report interesting examples and possible consequences of the alternative exon usage in these genes. This dataset contains only the files resulting from the processing the RNA sequencing raw data. This avoids potential patient identifiability, but ensures the full reproducibility of the results described in the publication.

Project description:Mouse models represent invaluable tools for the systematic evaluation of cancer drivers, yet those that address the impact of putative genetic drivers of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) on B cell development and function are largely lacking. To study recurrent loss-of-function (LOF) mutations observed in human CLL, we established a robust transplant model that can rapidly evaluate genetic lesions, based on CRISPR-Cas9–mediated gene knockout restricted to B cells. Using this system, we successfully generated six LOF-expressing models with B cell-specific depletion of Atm, Birc3, Trp53, Chd2, Samhd1 or Mga genes. Transcriptomic analyses identified presence of shared transcriptional networks associated with presence of the 6 modeled LOF mutations, related to increased B cell fitness in vitro and in vivo. We further identified a unique role for Mga in modulating B cell development through dysregulation of MYC and NOTCH signaling targets. None of the individual lesions led to CLL development, after 24 months of observation, supporting the relevance of combinatorial mutations for CLL development in vivo.
