Project description:Next generation DNA sequencing of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patient samples has revealed novel recurrent mutations while at the same time highlighting the genetic heterogeneity of the disease. These observations suggest that an extraordinarily large number of combinations of mutations can contribute to leukemogenesis. In order to address the question of the contribution of patient genetic background to AML we have developed a model system to generate multiple human leukemias in a single donorâs genetic background. Stepwise RNA-seq data from this model shows that in the context of AML driven by the MLL-AF9 (MA9) oncogene, the genetic background of the donor does not have a detectable effect. Comparison of these model leukemias from multiple single donors to AML patient samples containing MA9 translocations revealed conserved gene expression patterns not previously highlighted in this genetic sub-type. We further demonstrate that the expression of one of these genes, RET, is essential both in vivo and in vitro growth of MA9 AMLs . study of methylome during the development of MLL-AF9 AML

Project description:We investigated the response of acute myeloid cells (AML) expressing MLL-AF9 fusion gene to the pan-HDACi panobinostat (LBH589), and found that low conentrations of panobinostat lead to MLL-AF9 cell toxicity and rapid changes in gene expression. Human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC) expressing MLL-AF9 fusion protein (Wei et al, Cancer Cell 2008) were cultured with 30 nM panobinostat during 6 and 24 hours. The different gene expression between cells treated and untreated was studied by gene expression analysis. Three independent HSPC-MA9 clones were used, for each two replicates of cells after culture with 30 nM panobinostat for 6 and 24 hours and one untreated were used. A total of 16 samples were analyzed.

Project description:We studied the chromatin modification patterns induced by the presence of the MLL-AF9 fusion protein in a model of human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC) transduced with retrovirus expressing MLL-AF9cDNA (HSPC-MA9). Comparative ChIP-seq analysis between HSPC-MA9 and control HSPC, revealed a massive hyperacetylation of histones that was consistent with the transcriptional profile in the presence of MLL-AF9 fusion protein. Furthermore, we identified 66 MLL-AF9 targets, and found that H4ac was present along with H3K4me3 and H3K79me2 chromatin marks in over 50% of the MLL-AF9 target genes.

Project description:We investigated the role of the transcriptional regulator Id2 in the context of MLL-rearranged acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Using an AML mouse model driven by tet-regulated MLL-AF9 co-expressed with oncogenic NRASG12D (Tet-off MLL-AF9), we demonstrated that MLL-AF9 regulates the E protein pathway by suppressing Id2, while activating the expression of its target E2-2. Moreover, we found that Id2 over-expression in Tet-Off MLL-AF9 AML cells in vitro partially phenocopies MLL-AF9 depletion and results inhibition of leukemia growth, loss of leukemia stem cell-associated gene expression pattern and induction of differentiation. To compare gene expression changes associated with enforced Id2 expression and MLL-AF9 withdrawal, RNA sequencing analysis was performed on Tet-off MLL-AF9 cells transduced with an Id2 over-expressing or a control vector, or upon MLL-AF9 dox-inducible knock-down. Primary AMLs driven by Tet-off inducible MLL/AF9 expression linked to dsRED reporter, in association with oncogenic NRASG12D (Tet-off MLL-AF9) were generated by reconstituting lethally irradiated congenic mice with foetal liver cells co-transduced with a Tet-Off-MLL-AF9-dRED retroviral vector and a second vector co-expressing NRASG12D together with the Tet-Off responsive transcriptional activator. RNA sequencing analysis sequencing analysis was performed on Tet-Off MLL-AF9/dsRED+ AML cells treated in vitro with doxycycline (DOX) for 4 days to inactivate MLL-AF9 expression or left untreated (UT). For the Id2 over-expression experiment, Tet-Off MLL-AF9/dsRED+ AML cells were transduced in vitro with an Id2-GFP or a control-GFP retroviral vector. Viable GFP-positive cells were FACS-sorted 2 days after transduction and used for RNA sequencing analysis.

Project description:We investigated the role of the transcriptional regulators Id2 and E2-2 (encoded by Tcf4) in the context of MLL-rearranged acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Using an AML mouse model driven by a Tet-off inducible MLL-AF9 allele co-expressed with oncogenic NRASG12D, we demonstrated that MLL-AF9 regulates the E protein pathway by suppressing Id2, while activating the expression of its target E2-2. Moreover, we found that Id2 over-expression in MLL-AF9 AML cells results inhibition of leukemia growth, loss of leukemia stem cell-associated gene expression pattern and induction of differentiation. E2-2 silencing phenocopies Id2 overexpression in MLL-AF9-AML cells. To study the gene expression changes associated with E2-2 depletion in the context of MLL-rearranged AML, RNA sequencing analysis was performed on MLL-AF9;NRAS AML cells transduced with vectors expressing hairpins against E2-2 (shTcf4#654 and shTcf4#3646) or a control hairpin against Renilla luciferase (shRen). Primary AMLs driven by MLL/AF9 expression linked to cherry reporter, in association with oncogenic NRASG12D (MLL/AF9;NRAS) were generated by reconstituting lethally irradiated congenic mice with fetal liver cells co-transduced with the MSCV-MLL/AF9-IRES-cherry retroviral vector and a second vector co-expressing NRASG12D together with luciferase (MSCV-luciferase-IRES-NRASG12D). RNA sequencing analysis sequencing analysis was performed on MLL-AF9;NRAS AML cells transduced in vitro with vectors expressing hairpins against E2-2 (shTcf4#654 and shTcf4#3646) or a control hairpin against Renilla luciferase (shRen) linked to the reporter GFP. Viable GFP-positive cells were FACS-sorted 2 days after transduction and used for RNA sequencing analysis. Two independent biological replicates of the experiment were used for the RNA sequencing (9-5-14 and 14-4-14).

Project description:We investigated the role of the transcriptional regulator Id2 in the context of MLL-rearranged acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Using an Id2/GFP-reporter mouse model of MLL-AF9-driven AML, we showed that Id2 is expressed heterogeneously across the leukemic population. Moreover, differential expression of Id2 and the stemness marker Kit defines subsets of AML cells with different leukemogenic properties with lower levels of Id2 associated with enrichment in leukemia stem cell potential. To define gene expression patterns associated with distinct endogenous levels of Id2 and higher LSC potential, RNA sequencing analysis was performed on FACS-sorted KitHIâId2HI (BM_Kplus-Iplus), KitHIâId2LOW(BM_Kplus-Iminus), KitLOWâId2HI (BM_Kminus-Iplus) and KitLOWâId2LOW (BM_Kminus-Iminus) MLL-AF9-cherry+ AML cells obtained from bone marrow of terminally sick mice. Primary MLL-AF9+ AMLs were generated by reconstituting lethally irradiated congenic mice with foetal liver cells obtained from Id2-GFP reporter mice and transduced with a retroviral vector co-expressing MLL-AF9 and the cherry reporter protein. KitHighâId2High, KitHighâId2Low, KitLowâId2High and KitLowâId2Low MLL-AF9/cherry+ AML cells obtained from bone marrow of terminally sick primary recipients were FACS-sorted and used for RNA sequencing analysis (3 samples/subset).

Project description:MLL-fusions may induce leukemogenic gene expression programs by recruiting the histone H3K79 methyltransferase to MLL-target promoters. We evaluated gene expression changes after cre-mediated loss of Dot1l in leukemia cells obtained from mice injected with MLL-9 transformed lineage negative bone marrow cells. MLL-AF9 murine leukemia cells carrying two conditional Dot1l alleles were retrovirally transduced with Cre or empty control vector, and gene expression changes were monitored on day 3, 5, and 7 after transduction.
