Project description:Although the development of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), including BCR-ABL1 targeted therapies, rendered chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) a manageable condition, acquisition of drug resistance during blast crisis (BC) progression remains a critical challenge. Here, we elucidate the significance of FLT3 signaling in the acquisition of drug resistance in BC-CML. Mechanistically, FLT3 expression in CML cells activated FLT3-JAK-STAT3-TAZ-TEAD-CD36 pathway, which conferred resistance to wide range of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Remarkably, a subgroup of BC-CML patients who expressed FLT3 showed strong correlation with the prognostic factors of CML independent of recurrent BCR-ABL1 mutations. We demonstrate that combining FLT3 inhibitors with BCR-ABL1 targeted therapies or single treatment with ponatinib can overcome drug resistance and promote cell death in patient-derived FLT3+ BC-CML cells and mouse xenograft models. Our findings reveal the mechanism of FLT3-mediated drug resistance in BC progression and suggest the inclusion of FLT3 as a therapeutic target for this defined group of patients.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough the development of BCR::ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) rendered chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) a manageable condition, acquisition of drug resistance during blast phase (BP) progression remains a critical challenge. Here, we reposition FLT3, one of the most frequently mutated drivers of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), as a prognostic marker and therapeutic target of BP-CML.MethodsWe generated FLT3 expressing BCR::ABL1 TKI-resistant CML cells and enrolled phase-specific CML patient cohort to obtain unpaired and paired serial specimens and verify the role of FLT3 signaling in BP-CML patients. We performed multi-omics approaches in animal and patient studies to demonstrate the clinical feasibility of FLT3 as a viable target of BP-CML by establishing the (1) molecular mechanisms of FLT3-driven drug resistance, (2) diagnostic methods of FLT3 protein expression and localization, (3) association between FLT3 signaling and CML prognosis, and (4) therapeutic strategies to tackle FLT3+ CML patients.ResultsWe reposition the significance of FLT3 in the acquisition of drug resistance in BP-CML, thereby, newly classify a FLT3+ BP-CML subgroup. Mechanistically, FLT3 expression in CML cells activated the FLT3-JAK-STAT3-TAZ-TEAD-CD36 signaling pathway, which conferred resistance to a wide range of BCR::ABL1 TKIs that was independent of recurrent BCR::ABL1 mutations. Notably, FLT3+ BP-CML patients had significantly less favorable prognosis than FLT3- patients. Remarkably, we demonstrate that repurposing FLT3 inhibitors combined with BCR::ABL1 targeted therapies or the single treatment with ponatinib alone can overcome drug resistance and promote BP-CML cell death in patient-derived FLT3+ BCR::ABL1 cells and mouse xenograft models.ConclusionHere, we reposition FLT3 as a critical determinant of CML progression via FLT3-JAK-STAT3-TAZ-TEAD-CD36 signaling pathway that promotes TKI resistance and predicts worse prognosis in BP-CML patients. Our findings open novel therapeutic opportunities that exploit the undescribed link between distinct types of malignancies.

Project description:Progression and disease relapse of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) depends on leukemia-initiating cells (LIC) that resist treatment. Using mouse genetics, we observed that compound constitutive activation of β-catenin and deletion of Irf8 results in progression of CML-like disease into fatal blast crisis, elevated leukemic potential of BCR-ABL-induced LICs, and accumulation of Imatinib-resistant LICs in GMP-like populations. We found that progression of the disease is tightly connected to the magnitude of gene expression and that activated β-catenin enhances a pre-existing Irf8-deficient gene signature that was defined as a “progression specific signature” (PSS). We identified β-catenin as an amplifier of disease progression and as a critical step in the shift of CML to blast crisis. Collectively, our data uncover Irf8 as a roadblock for β-catenin-driven leukemia and imply both factors as targets in combinatorial therapy. We used microarrays to identify the gene expression signature in GMPs underlying CML-like disease progression and identified distinct classes of up- and down-regulated genes during this process defined as a “progression specific signature (PSS)”.

Project description:Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) may transform from a chronic phase (CP) into blast crisis (BC), which is often incurable. Herein, we report that miR-142 deficit acquired by T lymphocytes contributes to BC transformation by promoting immune escape. We observe that T cells of BC patients lack miR-142 and are fewer and exhausted compared with CP patients. Similarly, BC miR-142−/−/BCR/ABL+/+ mouse presents with T lymphopenia compared with the CP miR-142+/+/BCR/ABL+/+ mouse. In the BC mouse, miR-142 deficit impairs thymic differentiation of lymphoid-primed multipotent progenitors (LMPP) into mature T cells and redirects them toward myeloid lineage. The fewer mature T cells in the BC mouse are enriched with exhausted T effectors. MiR-142 deficit, driven by leukemic blasts-secreted inflammatory cytokines (i.e., IL-6), induces T cell hypofunction by preventing the metabolic reprogramming that allows activated T cells to thrive and expand. This ultimately results in an increase in T cell spontaneous apoptosis and BC immune escape. In fact, NSG mice transplanted with BC CML LSKs and miR-142 KO T cells had shorter survival than mice transplanted with BC CML LSKs and miR-142 wild-typewt T cells. Conversely, BC patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mice receiving autologous T cells and synthetic miR-142 lived longer than those receiving autologous T cells and scramble RNA. Combination of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) plus synthetic miR-142 and/or PD-1 antibody induced a prolonged survival compared to TKI alone, suggesting that harnessing the host immune system with synthetic miR-142 and immunocheckpoint inhibitors along with BCR/ABL inhibition may provide novel therapeutic opportunities.

Project description:Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting the BCR-ABL1 fusion tyrosine kinase have revolutionized the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). However, the development of TKI resistance and the subsequent transition from the chronic phase (CP) to blast crisis (BC) threaten CML patients. Accumulating evidence suggests that translational control is crucial for cancer development and progression. Here, we performed high throughput CRISPR/Cas9 screening and identified poly(A) binding protein cytoplasmic 1 (PABPC1) as a driver for CML-BC progression. PABPC1 preferentially improved the translation efficiency of multiple leukemogenic mRNAs with long and highly structured 5' untranslated regions, including BCR-ABL1 and its TKI-resistant mutants, through forming biomolecular condensates. Inhibiting PABPC1 significantly suppressed CML cell proliferation and attenuated disease progression, but did not affect normal hematopoiesis seriously. More importantly, we identified two novel PABPC1 inhibitors, 1,10-Phen and ML324, which inhibited BC progression and overcame TKI resistance in murine and human CML. Overall, our work identified PABPC1 as a selective translation enhancing factor in CML-BC, the genetic or pharmacological inhibition of which overcame TKI resistance and suppressed BC progression in CML.
