Exploring the mechanistic link between SF3B1 mutation and ring sideroblast formation in myelodysplastic syndrome.

ABSTRACT: Acquired sideroblastic anemia, characterized by bone marrow ring sideroblasts (RS), is predominantly associated with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Although somatic mutations in splicing factor 3b subunit 1 (SF3B1), which is involved in the RNA splicing machinery, are frequently found in MDS-RS, the detailed mechanism contributing to RS formation is unknown. To explore the mechanism, we established human umbilical cord blood-derived erythroid progenitor-2 (HUDEP-2) cells stably expressing SF3B1^K700E. SF3B1^K700E expressing cells showed higher proportion of RS than the control cells along with erythroid differentiation, indicating the direct contribution of mutant SF3B1 expression in erythroblasts to RS formation. In SF3B1^K700E expressing cells, ABCB7 and ALAS2, known causative genes for congenital sideroblastic anemia, were downregulated. Additionally, mis-splicing of ABCB7 was observed in SF3B1^K700E expressing cells. ABCB7-knockdown HUDEP-2 cells revealed an increased frequency of RS formation along with erythroid differentiation, demonstrating the direct molecular link between ABCB7 defects and RS formation. ALAS2 protein levels were obviously decreased in ABCB7-knockdown cells, indicating decreased ALAS2 translation owing to impaired Fe-S cluster export by ABCB7 defects. Finally, RNA-seq analysis of MDS clinical samples demonstrated decreased expression of ABCB7 by the SF3B1 mutation. Our findings contribute to the elucidation of the complex mechanisms of RS formation in MDS-RS.

Project description:BackgroundSF3B1 mutations (SF3B1mut ) in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) frequently involve codon K700E and have a favorable prognosis. The prognostic effect of non-K700E SF3B1mut is uncertain.MethodsThe authors analyzed the clinicopathological features and outcomes of a single-institution series of 94 treatment-naive SF3B1mut MDS patients (18%) and 415 treatment-naive SF3B1wt MDS patients and explored the differences between K700E and non-K700E SF3B1mut MDS.ResultsFifty-five patients (59%) carried K700E. Recurrent non-K700E mutations (39 [41%]) included R625, H662, and K666. Compared with SF3B1mut K700E patients, non-K700E patients had a lower median absolute neutrophil count (1.8 vs 2.4; P = .005) and were frequently "high" according to the Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (19% vs 4%; P = .031). Non-K700E MDS was associated frequently with RUNX1 (26% vs 7%; P = .012) and exclusively with BCOR, IDH2, and SRSF2 mutations. A splicing analysis showed the differential distribution of alternatively spliced events and gene expression profiles between K700 and non-K700E MDS patients. The majority (at least 80%) of SF3B1mut K700E, SF3B1mut non-K700E, and SF3B1wt patients were treated with hypomethylating agents. Over a median follow-up of 16 months, SF3B1mut had superior overall survival (OS) in comparison with SF3B1wt in all MDS patients (not reached vs 25.2 months; P = .0003), in patients with low-grade MDS, and in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes with ring sideroblasts (MDS-RS). Compared with SF3B1wt , SF3B1mut K700E had superior outcomes in all MDS (median OS, 25 months vs not reached; P = .0001), in low-grade MDS (median OS, 41.3 months vs not reached; P = .0015), and in MDS-RS (median OS, 22.3 months vs not reached; P = .0001), but no significant difference was seen between non-K700E and SF3B1wt MDS. By multivariable analysis, the absence of SF3B1mut K700E mutations was independently associated with the prognosis.ConclusionsThis study highlights the importance of the SF3B1 mutation subtype in MDS risk assessment.Lay summaryMyelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with SF3B1 mutations are regarded as having a favorable prognosis by both the World Health Organization and the International Working Group for the Prognosis of Myelodysplastic Syndromes. However, this article shows that only MDS patients with SF3B1 K700E mutations have a favorable prognosis (and not MDS patients with SF3B1 mutations involving other codons). This has important implications for refining future MDS subclassification and risk assessment criteria.
