Project description:Nucleoporin 98 (NUP98) fusion oncoproteins are strong drivers of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with poor prognosis. Here we show that NUP98 fusion-expressing AML harbors an epigenetic signature that is characterized by increased accessibility of hematopoietic stem cell genes and enrichment of activating histone marks. We employ an AML model for ligand-induced degradation of the NUP98::KDM5A fusion oncoprotein to identify epigenetic programs and transcriptional targets that are directly regulated by NUP98::KDM5A through CUT&Tag and nascent RNA-seq. Orthogonal genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screening identifies 12 direct NUP98::KDM5A target genes, which are essential for AML cell growth. Among these, we validate cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12) as a druggable vulnerability in NUP98::KDM5A-expressing AML. In line with its role in the transcription of DNA damage repair genes, small-molecule-mediated CDK12 inactivation causes increased DNA damage, leading to AML cell death. Altogether, we show that NUP98::KDM5A directly regulates a core set of essential target genes and reveal CDK12 as an actionable vulnerability in AML with oncogenic NUP98 fusions.

Project description:Pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a rare and heterogeneous disease characterized by a high prevalence of gene fusions as driver mutations. Despite the improvement of survival in the last years, about 50% of patients still experience a relapse. It is not possible to improve prognosis only with further intensification of chemotherapy, as come with a severe cost to the health of patients, often resulting in treatment-related death or long-term sequels. To design more effective and less toxic therapies we need a better understanding of pediatric AML biology. The NUP98-KDM5A chimeric protein is exclusively found in a particular subgroup of young pediatric AML patients with complex karyotypes and poor prognosis. In this study, we investigated the impact of NUP98-KDM5A expression on cellular processes in human Pluripotent Stem Cell models and the CHRF-288-11 cell line. We found that NUP98-KDM5A generates genomic instability through two complementary mechanisms that involve accumulation of DNA damage and direct interference of RAE1 activity during mitosis. Overall, our data support that NUP98-KDM5A promotes genomic instability and likely contributes to malignant transformation.

Project description:Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL) represents ∼10% of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia cases and typically affects young children (<3 years of age). It remains plagued with extremely poor treatment outcomes (<40% cure rates), mostly due to primary chemotherapy refractory disease and/or early relapse. Recurrent and mutually exclusive chimeric fusion oncogenes have been detected in 60% to 70% of cases and include nucleoporin 98 (NUP98) gene rearrangements, most commonly NUP98-KDM5A. Human models of NUP98-KDM5A-driven AMKL capable of faithfully recapitulating the disease have been lacking, and patient samples are rare, further limiting biomarkers and drug discovery. To overcome these impediments, we overexpressed NUP98-KDM5A in human cord blood hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells using a lentiviral-based approach to create physiopathologically relevant disease models. The NUP98-KDM5A fusion oncogene was a potent inducer of maturation arrest, sustaining long-term proliferative and progenitor capacities of engineered cells in optimized culture conditions. Adoptive transfer of NUP98-KDM5A-transformed cells into immunodeficient mice led to multiple subtypes of leukemia, including AMKL, that phenocopy human disease phenotypically and molecularly. The integrative molecular characterization of synthetic and patient NUP98-KDM5A AMKL samples revealed SELP, MPIG6B, and NEO1 as distinctive and novel disease biomarkers. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses pointed to upregulation of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway in the model AMKL. Both synthetic models and patient-derived xenografts of NUP98-rearranged AMKL showed in vitro therapeutic vulnerability to ruxolitinib, a clinically approved JAK2 inhibitor. Overall, synthetic human AMKL models contribute to defining functional dependencies of rare genotypes of high-fatality pediatric leukemia, which lack effective and rationally designed treatments.

Project description:NUP98 fusion oncoproteins (FOs) are a hallmark of childhood acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and drive leukemogenesis through liquid-liquid phase separation-mediated nuclear condensate formation. However, the composition and consequences of NUP98 FO-associated condensates are incompletely understood. Here we show that histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complex proteins including MOZ associate with NUP98 FOs, and that BRPF1, an epigenetic writer that associates with MOZ is a molecular dependency in NUP98::KDM5A AML. Inactivation of Brpf1 as well as HAT complex member Moz, Hbo1, Brd1 or Meaf6 in Nup98::Kdm5a;Vav-Cre cells impaired fitness of NUP98-rearranged cells. MOZ inhibition decreased global H3K23ac levels, displaced FO from chromatin at the Meis1 locus, and led to myeloid cell differentiation. Additionally, MOZ inhibition decreased leukemic burden in multiple NUP98-rearranged leukemia xenograft models, synergized with Menin inhibitor treatment, and was efficacious in Menin inhibitor-resistant cells. In summary, we show that MOZ is a potentially targetable dependency in NUP98-rearranged AMLs. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT MOZ is a member of NUP98 FO condensates with key roles in leukemia phenotypes. MOZ inhibition is effective in multiple preclinical models, including those non-responsive to Menin inhibition. MOZ and Menin inhibition are synergistic in some NUP98-rearranged models, supporting clinical translation to improve outcomes of NUP98 FO-driven leukemias.

Project description:The dysregulation of plant homeodomain (PHD) fingers has been implicated in several human diseases, including cancer. In a subset of aggressive acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chromosomal translocations that involve nucleoporin 98 (NUP98), a component of the nuclear pore complex, and a PHD finger-containing protein, such as KDM5A/JARID1A, PHF23 and BPTF, generate potent oncoproteins (namely NUP98-KDM5A, NUP98-PHF23 and NUP98-BPTF; or together termed as NUP98-PHD fusions) that are able to arrest hematopoietic differentiation and induce acute myeloid leukemia in murine models. In these processes, a PHD finger that specifically recognizes H3K4me3/2 marks was essential for leukemogenesis. Mutations in PHD fingers that abrogated H3K4me3 binding also abolished leukemic transformation. An overlap of NUP98-KDM5A oncoprotein binding sites and H3K4me3-positive loci at the Hoxa/b gene clusters and Meis1 in ChIP-seq together with NMR analysis of the H3K4me3-binding sites of the PHD fingers from PHF23, KDM5A and BPTF suggests a common PHD finger-dependent mechanism that promotes leukemogenesis by this type of NUP98-PHD finger fusions. Disulfiram (DS), a small molecule compound that directly targets the PHD finger, shows anti-proliferation effects in AML cells expressing NUP98-PHD through the conserved inhibitory mechanism. Our findings highlight the direct correlation between the abilities of NUP98-PHD finger fusion chimeras to associate with H3K4me3-enriched chromatin and leukemic transformation.
