Project description:The zinc finger transcription factor growth-factor-independent-1 (Gfi1) has been involved in various cellular differentiation processes. Gfi1 acts as a transcriptional repressor and splicing control factor upon binding to cognate binding sites in regulatory elements of its target genes. Here, we report that Gfi1-deficient mice develop autoimmunity. Gfi1-deficient peripheral B-cells show a hyperproliferative phenotype, leading to expansion of plasma cells, increased levels of nuclear autoantibodies, and immunoglobulin deposition in brain and kidneys. Dysregulation of multiple transcription factors and cell-cycle control elements may contribute to B-cell dependent autoimmunity. Gfi1 thus emerges as a novel master-regulator restricting autoimmunity.

Project description:Growth factor independent-1 (Gfi1) is a zinc finger transcription factor with a SNAG amino-terminal repressor domain and is critically required for normal myelopoesis. Gfi1 is normally expressed in HSCs and induced during differentiation from CMPs to GMPs. Gfi1 loss-of-function mutation in mice and humans induces an arrest during myeloid differentiation and an absolute block to the formation mature neutrophils. This comparative microarray study was initiated to identify microRNAs which are potentially regulated by Gfi1 during granulopoiesis. The Gfi1 null allele from Orkin (deletion of exons 2 and 3) was backcrossed to B6 or Balb/c mice for at least 7 generations. RNA was isolated from low density bone marrow samples from Gfi1+/+ and Gfi1-/- B6 littermates, as well as Gfi1+/+ and Gfi1-/- Balb/c littermates.

Project description:Transcriptional repressor Growth factor independence 1 (GFI1) is a key regulator of haematopoiesis. We previously established that the germline variant GFI1-36N promotes acute myeloid leukemia (AML) development, however the mechanism is not full elucidated. Here using multi-omics approach, we show GFI1-36N expression impedes DNA repair in leukemic cells. We demonstrate the presence of GFI1-36N is associated with increased frequency of chromosomal aberrations and mutational burden in murine and human AML cells. In particular, GFI1-36N modulates DNA repair pathways, O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) and homologous recombination repair (HR). Mechanistically, GFI1-36N exhibits impaired binding to Ndrg1 promoter element compared to GFI1-36S (wild type), causing decreased NDRG1 levels consequently leading to suppression of MGMT expression, imprinted at the transcriptome and proteome, thus leaving the AML cells vulnerable to DNA damaging agents. Targeting MGMT via temozolomide and HR via olaparib caused specifically extensive lethality in in vitro and ex vivo human and AML samples expressing GFI1-36N. Whereas the effects were insignificant on non-malignant GFI1-36S or GFI1-36N cells. Further, mice transplanted with GFI1-36N leukemic cells treated with combination of temozolomide and olaparib had a significantly longer AML-free survival than mice transplanted with GFI1-36S leukemic cells. In summary, we show that GFI1-36N disturbs DNA repair activity via NDRG1-MGMT axis and thus provides critical insights into novel therapeutic option for AML presented with GFI1-36N variant. Key Points Presence of GFI1-36N impedes Homologous DNA and MGMT DNA repair selectively in AML cells via the NDRG1-MGMT axis. Use of temozolomide and olaparib allows selectively targeting GFI1-36N leukemic cells. Introduction Gfi1 is a transcription factor which regulates the development of haematopoietic cells as well as neuronal and intestinal epithelial cells 1-5. We reported that a variant of GFI1, denominated GFI1-36N (characterized by an exchange of serine to asparagine at position 36), has a prevalence of 5-7% in a healthy control population but is found at an increased frequency of 10-15% among MDS and AML patients 6,7. The expression of germline variant GFI1-36N predisposes the carriers to develop de novo AML and MDS and correlates with a poor prognosis 6,7. Recently, we and other showed that malignant cells with GFI1-36N variant have increased H3K9-acetylation at target genes resulting in higher expression of genes required for cell survival and proliferation 8. GFI1 exerts its repressive role by recruiting histone-modifying enzymes (deacetylases HDAC1-3, demethylase LSD1, methyl transferase G9a) and regulates the accessibility of DNA to its target genes such as Hoxa9, Pbx1, Meis1, CSF1 and CSFR1 9-15. We also showed that GFI1 regulates apoptosis through its regulation of p53 in lymphoblastic leukemia 16 and we have demonstrated that GFI1 facilitates DNA repair 17. However, it is not known how these activities are affected in the GFI1-36N variant and whether the ability of GFI1 to regulate DNA repair pathways is maintained and how this might affect the development of myeloid malignancies. In this study, we leveraged multi-omics profiling to gain mechanistic insights into the molecular architecture that drives leukemia in the presence of GFI1-36N. We provide evidence that GFI1-36N interferes with DNA in leukemic myeloid cells, which leads to a higher frequency of genetic aberrations in MDS/AML cells. We also show that GFI1-36N myeloid leukemic cells are more sensitive to targeting MGMT and HR repair deficient cells, which opens a new selective therapeutic window to treat AML/MDS.

Project description:GFI1 is a transcriptional regulator expressed in lymphoid cells, and an "oncorequisite" factor required for development and maintenance of T-lymphoid leukemia. GFI1 deletion causes hypersensitivity to ionizing radiation, for which the molecular mechanism remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that GFI1 is required in T cells for the regulation of key DNA damage signalling and repair proteins. Specifically, GFI1 interacts with the arginine methyltransferase PRMT1 and its substrates MRE11 and 53BP1. We demonstrate that GFI1 enables PRMT1 to bind and methylate MRE11 and 53BP1, which is necessary for their function in the DNA damage response. Thus, our results provide evidence that GFI1 can adopt non-transcriptional roles, mediating the post-translational modification of proteins involved in DNA repair. These findings have direct implications for treatment responses in tumours overexpressing GFI1 and suggest that GFI1's activity may be a therapeutic target in these malignancies.

Project description:The incidence of cancer is not only influenced by exposure to environmental factors such as toxic substances and chemotherapy, but is also a result of individual predispositions. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) represent one such individual predisposition to cancer1. Gfi136N is a SNP in the coding region of the gene “Growth factor independence 1 (Gfi1)” predisposing to development of Acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, the mechanisms how this polymorphism is associated with AML are unknown. Here we present a mouse model in which the presence of Gfi136N leads to altered epigenetic modifications in the myeloid progenitor fraction “Granulocytic Monocytic Progenitor (GMP)” and demonstrates how this might predispose to AML. Presence of Gfi136N leads to a different epigenetic programming of the GMPs resulting in higher levels of the leukemogenic transcription factor Hoxa9. To our knowledge, this is the first mouse model of a SNP leading to epigenetic changes. Thus, SNPs not only result in an altered structure or expression level of certain proteins but here we show that SNPs might also lead to different cancer related epigenetic modifications. We used microarrays to detail the changes in the program of gene expression of GMPs induced by the knock in of human Gfi1 variants in the mouse Gfi1 locus Bone marrow derived granulocyte monocyte precursors (GMPs) from wt.-,Gfi1 knock-out.-, human Gfi1-knock in and human Gfi1-SNP36N knock in mice were collected by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) for total RNA extraction and gene expression analysis on affymetrix mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays. We aimed to identify differentially regulated target genes of the human Gfi1-SNP36N variant in a mouse model system which mit contribute to the development of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Project description:GFI1 is a transcriptional repressor protein that plays an essential role in HSCs development, lymphoid and myeloid differentiation and Acute Myeloid Leukaemic (AML) pathogenesis. Low expression levels of GFI1 is associated with a poor prognosis in AML development. In addition, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variant of GFI1 results in the generation of GFI1 protein with asparagine (N) instead of serine (S) at the 36th amino acid position, known as GFI136N. Expression of the GFI1-36N allele leads as well to poor prognosis and promotes AML development. In this study, we demonstrated with the help of RNAseq transcriptomic analysis that the presence of GFI1-36N is associated with increased frequency of chromosomal aberrations and mutational burden in murine and human AML cells. In particular, GFI1-36N modulates DNA repair pathways, O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT)-mediated repair and homologous recombination repair (HR). Mechanistically, GFI1-36N exhibits impaired binding to Ndrg1 promoter element compared to GFI1-36S (wild type), causing decreased NDRG1 levels, consequently leading to suppression of MGMT expression, imprinted at the transcriptome and proteome, thus leaving the AML cells vulnerable to DNA damaging agents. Furthermore, we showed that a low expression level of GFI1 in leukemic cells is associated with high OXPHOS and enhanced glutamine metabolism. However, we hypothesise that the observed metabolic phenotype is mediated through FOXO1 protein. RNAseq transcriptomic analysis revealed higher Foxo1 mRNA expression levels with lower GFI1 expression, providing the first hint of Foxo1 as a potential target gene of GFI1 protein. The mRNA and protein levels of high Foxo1 with reduced GFI1 expression was confirmed by RT-PCR and western blot, respectively. In addition, CHIPseq and ATACseq analysis further proved that Foxo1 is a potential target gene of GFI1. In summary, we show that GFI1 plays a role during DNA repair and metabolism and thus provides critical insights into a novel therapeutic option for AML patients carrying the GFI1-36N variant or having a low expression level of GFI1.

Project description:The transcriptional repressor Gfi1 promotes Th2 cell development and inhibits Th17 and inducible regulatory T cell differentiation. However, the contribution of Gfi1 to Th1 cell differentiation and Th1-type immune responses has not been clarified yet. We herein demonstrate that Gfi1 inhibits the activation of Th1 program in CD4 T cells. The activated Gfi1-deficient naïve CD4 T cells spontaneously develop into Th1 cells in an IL-12- and IFN-g-independent manner. The increased in vivo Th1-type immune response in Gfi1-deficient mice is confirmed using murine model of nickel allergy and delayed-type hypersensitivity. The expressions of Th1-related transcription factors including Tbx21, Eomes, Atf3, Runx1, Runx2 and Runx3 are increased in Gfi1-deficient activated CD4 T cells. Tbx21, Eomes and Runx2 are identified as candidates for direct target of Gfi1. Gfi1 binds to the Tbx21, Eomes and Runx2 gene loci and represses histone H3K4 methylation levels. Together, these findings establish a novel role of Gfi1 in inhibiting Th1 cell differentiation and Th1-type immune response.
