Inflammatory signals from fatty bone marrow support DNMT3a-driven clonal hematopoiesis (Dnmt3A KI heterozygote subset)

ABSTRACT: Accumulation of fatty bone marrow (FBM) is one of the key age related changes possibly influencing the blood system. While a link between obesity and cancer evolution has been reported it remains unknown whether FBM can modify the evolution of the early stages of leukemia and clonal hematopoiesis (CH). To address this question, we established different FBM mouse models in immunodeficient mice in whom we can study both mouse and human cells. We focused our studies on two FBM models: 1) after sublethal irradiation; 2) after castration; and in both we used an adipogenesis inhibitor as a control (PPARγ inhibitor). We transplanted both human and mice hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) carrying DNMT3A mutations into immunodeficient mice with FBM. A significant increase in self-renewal was found when DNMT3AMut-HSCs were exposed to FBM. To better understand the mechanisms of the FBM-CH interaction, we performed single cell RNA-sequencing on HSPCs after FBM exposure in vivo. A 6-10 fold increase in DNMT3AMut-HSCs was observed under FBM conditions in comparison to normal bone marrow. Mutated HSCs from mice exposed to FBM exhibited an activated inflammatory signaling (IL-6 and IFNγ). Cytokine analysis of BM fluid and BM derived adipocytes grown in vitro demonstrated increased IL-6 levels under FBM conditions. Anti-IL-6 neutralizing antibodies significantly reduced the selective advantage of mice derived DNMT3AMut-HSCs exposed to FBM. Overall, paracrine FBM inflammatory signals promote DNMT3A-driven clonal hematopoiesis, which can be inhibited by blocking the IL-6 receptor.

Oncostatin M is a Master Regulator of an Inflammatory Network in Dnmt3a-Mutant Hematopoietic Stem Cells

Project description:Age-associated clonal hematopoiesis (CH) occurs due to somatic mutations accrued in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that confer a selective advantage in the context of aging. The mechanisms by which CH-mutant HSCs gain this advantage with aging are not comprehensively understood. Using unbiased transcriptomic approaches, we identify Oncostatin M (OSM) signaling as a candidate contributor to aging-driven Dnmt3a-mutant CH. We find that Dnmt3a-mutant HSCs from young mice do not functionally respond to acute OSM stimulation with respect to proliferation, apoptosis, hematopoietic engraftment, or myeloid differentiation. However, young Dnmt3a-mutant HSCs transcriptionally upregulate an inflammatory cytokine network in response to acute OSM including genes encoding IL-6, IL-1b and TNFa. In addition, OSM-stimulated Dnmt3a-mutant HSCs upregulate the anti-inflammatory genes Socs3 and Nr4a1, creating a negative feedback loop limiting sustained activation of the inflammatory network. In the context of an aged BM microenvironment with chronically elevated levels of OSM, Dnmt3a-mutant HSCs upregulate pro-inflammatory genes but do not upregulate Socs3 and Nr4a1. Together, our work suggests that chronic inflammation with aging exhausts the regulatory mechanisms in young CH-mutant HSCs that resolve inflammatory states, and that OSM is a master regulator of an inflammatory network that contributes to age-associated CH.

Selection Pressures in the Aged Microenvironment Drive Transformation of Dnmt3a-Mutant Hematopoietic Stem Cells to Myeloid Malignancy

Project description:Driver somatic mutations in adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are often preceded by a benign or premalignant state termed clonal hematopoiesis (CH) for which the greatest risk factor is aging. To risk-stratify aged individuals and develop therapies to prevent AML, we need to understand the variables that promote transformation from CH to AML. Using our orthogonally inducible Dnmt3aR878H;Npm1cA-mutant model of progression from CH to myeloid malignancy, we find that in young mice, Dnmt3a mutation buffers against myeloid differentiation, proliferation, acquisition of cooperating mutations and transformation induced by stress, inflammation, and the oncogenic Npm1 mutation. However, when Dnmt3a;Npm1-mutant hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are transplanted into naturally aged recipient mice, they gain myeloid-biased differentiation capacity and have an accelerated transformation to AML. These results support the hypothesis that alterations in the aged microenvironment drive risk of AML in individuals with CH and help to explain why this Dnmt3a mutation is exceedingly rare in pediatric leukemias.

Molecular Cooperativity of Dnmt3a and Npm1 Mutations in Transformation from Clonal Hematopoiesis to Myeloid Malignancy

Project description:Driver somatic mutations in adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) may be preceded by a benign state termed clonal hematopoiesis (CH). To develop therapeutic strategies to prevent leukemia development from CH, it is important to understand the mechanisms by which CH-driving and AML-driving mutations cooperate. Here, we utilize mice with inducible mutant alleles common in CH (DNMT3AR882; mouse Dnmt3aR878H/+) and AML (NPM1c; mouse Npm1cA/+). We find that Dnmt3aR878H/+ hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), but not multipotent progenitor cell (MPP) subsets, have reduced expression of cytokine and pro-inflammatory transcriptional signatures and a functional competitive advantage over their wild-type counterparts. These Dnmt3aR878H/+ HSCs are transformed by activation of Npm1cA/+, generating myeloid malignancies in which few additional cooperating somatic mutation events were detected. At a molecular level, Npm1cA/+ acutely increased accessibility of a distinct set of promoters in cooperation with Dnmt3aR878H/+ than it did as a single mutation. These promoters were enriched for pro-inflammatory response signatures, p53 pathway, DNA repair and targets of transcription factors implicated in AML, including Hmgb1 and Pax4. These results suggest cooperativity between pre-existing Dnmt3a mutation and Npm1 mutation at the chromatin level, where specific loci altered in accessibility by the Npm1 mutation are dependent on Dnmt3a mutation status. These findings have implications for biological understanding and therapeutic intervention of the transformation from CH to AML.

Dnmt3a Controls Hematopoietic Stem Cells via DNA Methylation-Independent Regulation of Telomeres

Project description:Dnmt3a is the most recurrently mutated gene in clonal hematopoiesis (CH) and it is a critical regulator of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Conditional deletion of Dnmt3a in mouse HSC results in enhanced self-renewal but impaired differnetiation. Dnmt3a encodes for a de novo DNA methyltransferase enzyme but both mouse and human cells with loss of Dnmt3a show minimal change in DNA methylation levels which do not correlate with gene expression differences. To understand if these changes are due to non-canonical function of Dnmt3a, we generated varying levels of DNA methyaltion-impared Dnmt3a mouse models. Our data depicts that DNA methyaltion-impaired Dnmt3a phenocopy wild-type in serial transplant. And Dnmt3a methyltransferase-deficient HSCs showed differntially methylated regions (DMRs) and gene expression pattern that overlapped with Dnmt3a-null HScs. Suggesting that Dnmt3a has important non-canonical function that partially regulates HSC fate. Dnmt3a-null HSC increased HSC self-renwal and can be transplanted indefinitely and increase longevity with no erosion of telomere length. Dnmt3a-null HSCs showed increased telomere at baseline and maintained overa serial transplant and increased telomerase activity. The role of Dnmt3a in telomere maintenance was not strictly linked to elongated telomere length but in regulation of DNA damage response that occurs at stressed telomeres. These data show a unidentified role of Dnmt3a in HSC telomere maintenance that is note related to DNA methylation function.

Mutant ASXL1 induces age-related expansion of phenotypic hematopoietic stem cells through activation of Akt/mTOR pathway

Project description:Somatic mutations of ASXL1 are frequently detected in age-related clonal hematopoiesis (CH). However, how ASXL1 mutations drive CH remains elusive. Using knockin (KI) mice expressing a C-terminally truncated form of ASXL1-mutant (ASXL1-MT), we examined the influence of ASXL1-MT on physiological aging in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). HSCs expressing ASXL1-MT display competitive disadvantage after transplantation. Nevertheless, in genetic mosaic mouse model, they acquire clonal advantage during aging, recapitulating CH in humans. Mechanistically, ASXL1-MT cooperates with BAP1 to deubiquitinate and activate AKT. Overactive Akt/mTOR signaling induced by ASXL1-MT results in aberrant proliferation and dysfunction of HSCs associated with age-related accumulation of DNA damage. Treatment with an mTOR inhibitor rapamycin ameliorates aberrant expansion of the HSC compartment as well as dysregulated hematopoiesis in aged ASXL1-MT KI mice. Our findings suggest that ASXL1-MT provokes dysfunction of HSCs, whereas it confers clonal advantage on HSCs over time, leading to the development of CH.

DNMT3A R882 mutations promote anthacyline resistance through impaired DNA-damage sensing [Bisulfite-Seq]

Project description:Although the majority of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients initially respond to chemotherapy, most of them subsequently relapse due to persistent, chemoresistant disease. However, the mechanistic basis by which AML cells persist during chemotherapy has not been fully delineated. Recurrent somatic mutations in the DNA methyltransferase 3A gene (DNMT3A), most frequently at arginine 882 (DNMT3Amut), are commonly observed in AML patients, and are also detected in elderly subjects with clonal hematopoiesis in the absence of leukemic transformation. DNMT3Amut AML patients have an inferior outcome when treated with standard dose daunorubicin-based induction chemotherapy, suggesting that DNMT3Amut AML cells can persist following chemotherapy and drive relapse. DNMT3Amut cells show impaired nucleosome eviction and chromatin remodeling in response to DNA damage in the setting of anthracycline exposure. This defect leads to an inability to sense and repair DNA damage, which results in the accumulation of single-stranded DNA breaks and increased mutagenesis. Our studies identify a critical role for DNMT3A R882 mutations in driving AML chemoresistance, and highlight the importance of chromatin remodeling in the response to cytotoxic chemotherapy.
