The alternative Nucleosome Remodeling Factor complex sustains acute myeloid leukemia by regulating the accessibility of insulator regions

ABSTRACT: Efficient treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) patients remains a challenge despite recent advances. Here using a CRISPRi screen targeting chromatin factors, we identified BPTF as an essential regulator of AML cell survival. We demonstrate that BPTF forms an alternative NURF chromatin remodeling complex with SMARCA5 and BAP18, which regulates the accessibility of a large set of insulator regions in leukemic cells. This ensures efficient CTCF binding and boundary formation between topologically associated domains that is essential for maintaining the leukemic transcriptional programs. We also demonstrate that the well-studied PHD2-BROMO chromatin reader modules of BPTF, while contributing to complex recruitment to chromatin, are dispensable for leukemic cell growth. Taken together, our results uncover how the alternative NURF complex contributes to leukemia and provide a rationale for its targeting in AML.

PRMT5 methylome profiling uncovers a direct link to splicing regulation in human acute myeloid leukemia

Project description:Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) belongs to the class II arginine methyltransferases and catalyzes monomethylation and symmetrical dimethylation of arginines on proteins. It has recently emerged as a promising cancer drug target, and two PRMT5 inhibitors are currently in clinical trials for a range malignancies. Despite the recognized therapeutic potential, it is unclear which PRMT5 functions underlie its oncogenic activity. In this study, we aimed to further understand the role of PRMT5 in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Using an enzymatic dead version of PRMT5 as well as a PRMT5-specific inhibitor, we demonstrated the requirement of the catalytic activity of PRMT5 for the survival of AML cells. By using cutting-edge proteomics techniques we identified PRMT5 substrates and investigated their role in the survival of AML cells. We found that the function of the splicing regulator SRSF1 relies on its methylation by PRMT5. Consistent with this, we found that loss of PRMT5 led to changes in alternative splicing. This revealed multiple affected essential genes, linking PRMT5 activity to its loss of function phenotype. Our results show that PRMT5 directly regulates SRSF1 activity in leukemia, and they provide potential biomarkers for the treatment response to PRMT5 inhibitors.

CKS1-dependent proteostatic regulation has dual roles in combating acute myeloid leukemia whilst protecting normal hematopoiesis

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive hematological disorder comprised of a hierarchy of quiescent leukemic stem cells and fast proliferating blasts with limited self-renewal ability. Significant plasticity in the AML epigenome and metabolome results in a high rate of drug resistance and relapse, with extremely low 2-year survival rates in the poorest cytogenetic risk patients. The current backbone of clinical induction chemotherapy reduces total disease burden, but does not deplete leukemic stem cells which reconstitute the disease in vivo, and also suffers from severe toxicity of healthy hematopoietic cells. Whilst much work has been done to identify epigenetic vulnerabilities in AML, little is known about protein dynamics, and here we explored the therapeutic inhibition of highly specific CKS1-dependent protein degradation. We report a dual role for CKS1-depdent protein degradation in specifically targeting AML, whilst protecting normal hematopoietic cells from chemotherapeutic toxicity.

IKAROS and MENIN are Functionally Cooperative Therapeutic Targets in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Project description:Genome-scale functional genetic screening was utilized to identify resistance mechanisms and synthetic lethal interactions during small molecule targeting of MENIN and DOT1L in MLL1-rearranged AML. Chromatin regulatory complexes are found to modulate the therapeutic response to these inhibitors, and IKZF1/IKAROS is identified as an essential transcriptional regulator that supports leukemia gene expression through extensive chromatin co-occupancy with MENIN and the transcription factor MEIS1. Furthermore, we show that combined IKAROS degradation with imide drugs and MENIN inhibition using VTP-50469 leads to synergistic anti-leukemic effects through rapid induction of apoptotic cell death both in vitro and in vivo. This study uncovers a previously underappreciated role for IKAROS in AML and cooperativity among IKAROS, MLL1/MENIN and MEIS1 in maintaining leukemogenic transcription.

Complex-dependent histone acetyltransferase activity of KAT8 determines its role in transcriptional regulation and cellular homeostasis [AP-MS]

Project description:Histone acetylation is associated with open chromatin and transcriptionally active genes. Specifically, acetylation of lysine 16 on histone H4 (H4K16ac) has been shown to prevent the assembly of nucleosomal arrays in vitro. This modification is catalyzed by the MYST-family histone acetyltransferase KAT8 (also known as MOF and MYST1), which is part of two distinct chromatin-associated complexes: NSL and MSL. While extensively studied in Drosophila, the functions of H4K16ac and the two KAT8-containing complexes in mammalian cells are not well understood. Here, we demonstrate a surprising complex-dependent activity of KAT8. We found that KAT8 catalyzes H4K5 and H4K8 acetylation as part of the NSL complex, whereas it catalyzes the bulk of H4K16 acetylation as part of the MSL complex. Furthermore, we show that the core proteins of the MSL complex and H4K16ac are not required for cell proliferation and global chromatin accessibility, whereas the NSL complex is essential for cell survival, as it is enriched at the promoters of housekeeping genes and is required for their transcription initiation. In summary, we show that KAT8 switches catalytic activity and function depending on its associated proteins, and that, as part of the NSL complex, it catalyzes H4K5 and H4K8 acetylation required for the expression of genes essential for cell survival

The p30 isoform of CEBPA uncovers a silent enhancer to drive the expression of the tumor promoting factor CD73 in CEBPA mutant AML

Project description:The key myeloid transcription factor (TF) CEBPA is frequently mutated in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but the molecular ramifications of this leukemic driver mutation remain elusive. To investigate CEBPA mutant AML, we compared gene expression changes in human CEBPA mutant AML and in the corresponding CebpaLp30 mouse model, and identified a conserved cross-species transcriptional program. ChIP-seq revealed aberrantly activated enhancers, exclusively occupied by the leukemia-associated CEBPA-p30 isoform. One leukemic-enhancer upstream of Nt5e, encoding CD73, was physically and functionally linked to this conserved AML gene, and could be activated by CEBPA. Targeting of CD73-adenosine signaling increased AML survival in transplanted mice. Our data indicate a first-in-class link between a TF cancer driver mutation and a druggable, direct transcriptional target.
