A novel germline variant in CSF3R highlights the potent oncogenic effects of loss of N-glycosylation and its implication for therapeutic intervention

ABSTRACT: Mutations in the colony stimulating factor 3 receptor (CSF3R) have been identified in the vast majority of patients with chronic neutrophilic leukemia and are present in other kinds of leukemia, such as AML. Herein, we study the function of novel germline variants in CSF3R at amino acid N610. These N610 substitutions are potently oncogenic and activate the receptor independently of its ligand, GCSF. These mutations activate the JAK-STAT signaling pathway and confer sensitivity to JAK inhibitors. The N610 residue is part of a consensus N-linked glycosylation motif in the receptor, usually linked to complex glycans, as shown by detailed mass spectrometry analysis. Further analysis demonstrates that N610 is the primary site of sialylation of the receptor. This study demonstrates that membrane-proximal N-linked glycosylation is critical for maintaining the ligand dependence of the receptor. Mutation of the N610 site prevents membrane proximal N-glycosylation of CSF3R, which then drives ligand-independent neutrophil expansion. Kinase inhibitors block growth of cells with an N610 mutation. This study expands the repertoire of oncogenic mutations in CSF3R that are therapeutically targetable and provides insight into the function of glycans in receptor regulation.

Project description:Dendritic epidermal T cells (DETC) reside in murine skin and participate in homeostasis and wound repair. Upon wounding, DETC become activated through the recognition of an unidentified ligand expressed by keratinocytes proximal to sites of injury. Such DETC activation is mediated through a monoclonal T cell receptor (TCR). Using a soluble form of this monoclonal TCR, we have shown that keratinocytes upregulate DETC TCR ligands in wounded tissue within 2 hours following wounding. Down-modulation of the ligand is seen 3 hours following wounding, and no expression is evident in non-wounded skin. In vitro studies on cell lines which express this unknown ligand indicate that antigen recognition by the DETC TCR is dependent upon N-linked glycosylation of the ligand. Given the glycosylation sensitivity of the ligand and the restricted expression following wounding, we are interested in pursuing microarray analysis to identify genes that are modulated in keratinocytes in response to wounding. Keratinocytes represent 90% of the cells in the epidermis (DETC and Langerhan’s cells make up the remaining 10%). As such, we propose to isolate RNA from whole epidermis under either wounded or resting conditions. In addition to comparing RNA from wounded and non-wounded epidermis, we would like to compare RNA from tissue that has been wounded for different times. Initially, we would like to analyze 4 sampes (non-wounded epidermis, and epidermal cells isolated 30 minutes, 2 hours, and 4 hours following wounding). These time points would correlate to a period prior to cell surface expression of ligand (30 minutes), during cell surface expression (2 hours), and following down regulation of cell surface expression (4 hours). In addition to providing possible identification of the unknown DETC TCR ligand, such analysis would provide novel information about early responses by keratinocytes in response to physical wounding in vivo. We propose to isolate RNA from whole epidermis under either wounded or resting conditions. In addition to comparing RNA from wounded and non-wounded epidermis, we would like to compare RNA from tissues that has been wounded for different times.

Project description:Alterations in glycosylation are seen in many types of cancer, including colorectal cancer (CRC). CRC is known to display glycosylation alterations. Glycans, the sugar moieties of glycoconjugates, are involved in many important functions relevant to cancer, such as cell signaling and adhesion, and may can be of value as biomarkers. In this study, we have used mass spectrometry to analyze the N-glycan profiles of 35 CRC tissue samples from patients with tumors in the right or left colon and 10 healthy tissue samples from non-CRC patients who underwent operations for other reasons. The tumor samples were divided into groups depending on tumor location (right or left colon) and stage (II or III), while the healthy samples were divided into right or left side of the colon. The levels of neutral and acidic N-glycan compositions and glycan classes were analyzed in a total of ten different groups. Surprisingly, there were no significant differences in glycan levels when all right- and left-sided CRC samples were compared, and few differences (such as in the abundance of the neutral N-glycan H3N5) were seen when the samples were divided according to both location and stage. Multiple significant differences were found in the levels of glycans and glycan classes when stage II and III samples were compared, and these glycans could be of value as candidates for new markers of cancer progression. In order to validate our findings, we analyzed healthy tissue samples from the right and left colon and found no significant differences in the levels of any of the glycans analyzed, confirming that our findings when comparing CRC samples from the right and left colon are not due to normal variations in the levels of glycans between the healthy right and left colon. Additionally, the levels of the acidic glycans H4N3F1P1, H5N4F1P1, and S1H5N4F1 were found to change in a cancer-specific but colon location-nonspecific manner, indicating that CRC affects glycan levels in similar ways, regardless of tumor location.
