Project description:Understanding epithelial stem cell differentiation and morphogenesis during breast tissue development is essential, as disruption in these processes underlie breast cancer formation. Recent work has shown that epithelial stem and progenitor cells use the collagen receptor Discoidin Domain Receptor 1 (DDR1) for differentiation into both basal and luminal cell lineages, which together are necessary for complex ductal-lobular morphogenesis. Here, we used a next-generation single cell derived organoid model that generates miniaturized breast tissue, to study how single stem cells can give rise to multiple cell types and compound tissue structures. We show that DDR1inhibition traps cells in a bipotent state, blocking alveolar morphogenesis and luminal cell expansion necessary for complex epithelium formation. Disrupting RUNX1 function produced nearly identical phenotypes, underscoring its critical role downstream of DDR1. Mechanistically, DDR1 affects the interaction and expression of RUNX1 and its cofactor CBFβ, thereby regulating its activity. Mutational analyses in breast cancer patients reveal frequent alterations in the DDR1-RUNX1 signaling axis, particularly co-occurring mutations. Together, these findings uncover DDR1-RUNX1 as a central signaling pathway driving breast epithelial differentiation, whose dysregulation may contribute fundamentally to breast cancer pathogenesis.

Project description:The human breast is complex and comprised of multi-lineage and multi-structural elements. Recent work has shown that epithelial stem and progenitor cells use the collagen receptor Discoidin Domain Receptor 1 (DDR1) for differentiation into both basal and luminal cell lineages, which together are necessary for complex ductal-lobular morphogenesis. We developed a next-generation single cell derived organoid model that generates miniaturized breast tissue, to study how single stem cells can give rise to multiple cell types and compound tissue structures. We show that DDR1 activation triggers stem cell differentiation via RUNX1, in turn driving multilineage differentiation as well as complex ductal-lobular development. Mechanistically, DDR1 affects the interaction and expression of RUNX1 and its cofactor CBFβ, thereby regulating its activity. Together, these findings contribute to the current understanding of how the extracellular matrix component within the stem cell niche drives organogenesis and tissue regeneration.

Project description:The leukemia fusion gene CBFB-MYH11 requires RUNX1 for leukemogenesis, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. By in vitro studies, we found that CBFβ-SMMHC, the chimeric protein encoded by CBFB-MYH11, could enhance the binding affinity between RUNX1 and its target DNA. Increased RUNX1-DNA binding was also observed in myeloid progenitor cells from mice expressing CBFβ-SMMHC. Moreover, only CBFβ-SMMHC variants able to enhance the DNA binding affinity by RUNX1 could induce leukemia in mouse models. Significant transcriptomic changes, affecting genes associated with inflammatory response and target genes of CBFA2T3, were observed in mice expressing leukemogenic CBFβ-SMMHC variants. Finally, we show that CBFβ-SMMHC could not induce leukemia in mice with a Runx1-R188Q mutation, which reduces RUNX1 DNA binding but not affecting its interaction with CBFβ-SMMHC or its sequestration to cytoplasm by CBFβ-SMMHC. Our data suggest that enhancing RUNX1-target DNA binding affinity is an important mechanism of leukemogenesis by CBFβ-SMMHC.

Project description:Inversion of chromosome 16 is a consistent finding in patients with acute myeloid leukemia subtype M4 with eosinophilia (AML M4Eo), which generates a CBFB-MYH11 fusion gene. It is generally considered that CBFβ-SMMHC, the fusion protein encoded by CBFB-MYH11, is a dominant negative repressor of RUNX1. However, recent findings challenge the RUNX1-repression model for CBFβ-SMMHC mediated leukemogenesis. To definitively address the role of Runx1 in CBFB-MYH11 induced leukemia, we crossed conditional Runx1 knockout mice (Runx1f/f) with conditional Cbfb-MYH11 knockin mice (Cbfb+/56M). Upon Mx1-Cre activation in hematopoietic cells induced by poly (I:C) injection, all Mx1-CreCbfb+/56M mice developed leukemia in 5 months while no leukemia developed in Runx1f/fMx1-CreCbfb+/56M mice, and this effect was cell autonomous. Importantly, the abnormal myeloid progenitors (AMPs), a leukemia initiating cell population induced by Cbfb-MYH11 in the bone marrow, decreased and disappeared in Runx1f/fMx1-CreCbfb+/56M mice. RNA-seq analysis of AMP cells showed that genes associated with proliferation, differentiation blockage and leukemia initiation, were differentially expressed between Mx1-CreCbfb+/56M and Runx1f/fMx1-CreCbfb+/56M mice. In addition, with chromatin immunocleavage sequencing (ChIC-seq) assay, we observed a significant enrichment of RUNX1/CBFβ-SMMHC target genes in Runx1f/fMx1-CreCbfb+/56M cells, especially among down-regulated genes, suggesting that RUNX1 and CBFβ-SMMHC mainly function together as activators of gene expression through direct target gene binding. These data indicate that Runx1 is indispensable for Cbfb-MYH11 induced leukemogenesis by working together with CBFβ-SMMHC to regulate critical genes associated with the generation of a functional AMP population.

Project description:Cutaneous melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer, frequently driven by hyperactivation of the RAS/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. Cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12), a downstream effector of MAPK signaling, has emerged as a therapeutic target due to its essential role in transcriptional regulation and DNA damage repair. To uncover vulnerabilities associated with CDK12 inhibition, we performed a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screen and identified the Runt-related transcription factor RUNX1 and its cofactor CBFβ as synthetic lethal partners of CDK12. RUNX1 inhibition enhanced melanoma sensitivity to CDK12 inhibitors in a p53-independent manner, resulting in DNA damage accumulation and impaired repair capacity. Combined inhibition of CDK12 and RUNX1 suppressed melanoma growth in vivo. These findings uncover RUNX1/CBFβ as a compensatory mechanism in CDK12-inhibited melanoma and establish a novel synthetic lethal interaction with translational potential for combinatorial therapy.

Project description:The CBFβ-MYH11 fusion generated by inv(16) aberration is proposed to block normal myeloid differentiation, but whether this subtype of leukemia cells is poised for an unique cell lineage remains unclear. Here, we surveyed the functional consequences of CBFβ-MYH11 in inv(16) patient blasts and two inducible systems by multi-omics profiling. The primary inv(16) cells stay closer with megakaryocyte and erythrocyte lineages along the cell differentiation trajectory, and share common transcriptomic signatures and epigenetic determiners. Using in vitro differentiation systems, we reveal that CBFβ-MYH11 knockdown establishes normal endomitosis-related processes, which are crucial for megakaryocyte maturation. Two pivotal regulators, GATA2 and KLF1, are identified to complementally occupy RUNX1 binding sites upon the fusion protein knockdown. Overexpression of GATA2 partly restores megakaryocyte directed differentiation suppressed by CBFβ-MYH11, and additional factors like KLF1 and EGR1 might be required to coordinately prevent CFB-MYH11 leukemogenesis. Together, our findings suggest that in inv(16) leukemia, the CBFβ-MYH11 fusion inhibits primed megakaryopoiesis by interfering with a balanced transcriptional program involving GATA2 and KLF1.

Project description:Polycomb activity is frequently altered in acute leukaemia through mutation or deletion of Polycomb Repressive Complex (PRC) components. Alterations in PRC-interacting factors such as the Core Binding Factor (CBF) complex should also affect leukemia biology, even if PRC composition is normal. We report that the acute myeloid leukemia (AML)-associated CBFβ-SMMHC fusion oncoprotein physically interacts with the PRC1 complex, and that these factors co-localize across the AML genome in a PRC2-independent manner. Depletion of CBFβ-SMMHC caused increases in genome-wide PRC1 binding and an altered association between PRC1 and RUNX1. Overall, PRC1 was more likely to be associated with active genes. CBFβ-SMMHC depletion had variable transcriptional effects, including significant reductions in expression of PRC1-bound ribosomal loci. Our results expand on the recently reported localized effect of CBFβ-SMMHC on RUNX1-mediated recruitment of PRC1 at MYC enhancer elements, providing evidence that the oncoprotein diversely affects Polycomb recruitment and transcriptional regulation across the entire AML genome.
