An essential role for MYB in driving oncogenic EVI1 expression in enhancer-rearranged leukemias

ABSTRACT: In acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with inv(3)(q21;q26) or t(3;3)(q21;q26), a translocated GATA2 enhancer drives oncogenic expression of EVI1. We generated an EVI1-GFP AML model and applied an unbiased CRISPR/Cas9 enhancer scan to uncover sequence motifs essential for EVI1 transcription. Using this approach, we pinpoint a single regulatory element in the translocated GATA2 enhancer that is critically required for aberrant EVI1 expression while being dispensable for GATA2 expression from its endogenous locus. This element contains a DNA binding motif for the transcription factor MYB that heavily occupies this site specifically at the translocated allele. MYB knockout as well as peptidomimetic blockade of p300-dependent MYB function resulted in downregulation of EVI1 but not of GATA2. Targeting MYB or mutating its DNA-binding motif within the GATA2 enhancer resulted in myeloid differentiation and cell death, suggesting that interference with MYB-driven EVI1 transcription provides a potential entry point for therapy of inv(3)/t(3;3) AMLs.

RNA-seq of MUTZ3 cells in experiments to investigate EVI1 regulation

Project description:We investigated whether GATA2 enhancer-driven transcription of EVI1 in inv(3)/t(3;3) is reversible in leukemia cells. In primary inv(3)/t(3;3) AML, immature CD34+CD15- cells can be discriminated from more mature CD34-CD15- and CD34-CD15+ cells. Besides, we also investigated the effect of deleting a MYB binding site on these cells using CRISPR/Cas9.

Identification of therapeutic targets of the hijacked super-enhancer complex in EVI1-rearranged leukemia (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Chromosomal aberrations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), such as inv(3) and t(3;3), lead to deregulation of the EVI1 oncogene by the GATA2 distal hematopoietic enhancer (G2DHE). In this project, we aimed to study the transcription factor complexes involved in the regulation of the G2DHE sequence. We have identified PARPi as a member of the G2DHE complex. Here, we used RNA-Seq to analyze transcriptomic changes after PARP inhibition with olaparib and talazoparib and to compare those to EVI1 knockdown.

Identification of therapeutic targets of the hijacked super-enhancer complex in EVI1-rearranged leukemia (4C-Seq)

Project description:Chromosomal aberrations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), such as inv(3) and t(3;3), lead to deregulation of the EVI1 oncogene by the GATA2 distal hematopoietic enhancer (G2DHE). In this project, we aimed to study the transcription factor complexes involved in the regulation of the G2DHE sequence. We identified PARP1 as an interactor of G2DHE-associated transcription factors. In this dataset, we studied the interaction of genomic loci between the EVI1 promoter and G2DHE by 4C-Seq in the 3q-rearranged AML cell line MUTZ-3 treated with the PARP1 inhibitors olaparib, talazoparib or the DMSO vehicle control for 24 h.

Amplicon-seq of an enhancer region targeted by CRISPR to assess the mutations introduced by different sgRNA guides

Project description:Following a CRISPR enhancer scan covering the GATA2 super-enhancer region, the top sgRNAs were selected for further inspection. MUTZ3 cells were thus treated with the selected sgRNAs and the region of interested was subjected to amplicons sequencing (amplicon-seq). To that end, we used the Illumina PCR-based custom amplicon sequencing method using the TruSeq Custom Amplicon index kit (Illumina). The same experiment was conducted in K562 cells, which do not harbor an inv(3)/t(3;3), to investigate the role of MYB in this enhancer in other leukemia settings

Identification of therapeutic targets of the hijacked super-enhancer complex in EVI1-rearranged leukemia (ChIP-Seq)

Project description:Chromosomal aberrations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), such as inv(3) and t(3;3), lead to deregulation of the EVI1 oncogene by the GATA2 distal hematopoietic enhancer (G2DHE). In this project, we aimed to study the transcription factor complexes involved in the regulation of the G2DHE sequence. In silico and in vitro analyses revealed that binding sites for CEBPA are critical for G2DHE function. Here, we used ChIP-Seq to show association of the CEBPA transcription factor with the G2DHE sequence in the 3q-rearranged cell line MOLM-1

Aberrant EVI1 splicing contributes to EVI1-rearranged leukemia (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Detailed genomic and epigenomic analyses of MECOM (the MDS1 and EVI1 complex locus) have revealed that inversion or translocation of chromosome 3 at MECOM drive inv(3)/t(3;3) myeloid leukemias and revealed MECOM germline mutations in patients with MECOM-associated bone marrow failure syndromes. Here we identify a novel, previously unannotated oncogenic RNA-splicing derived isoform of EVI1 which is frequently present in inv(3)/t(3;3) AML and directly contributes to leukemic transformation. Expression of this EVI1 splice variant enhanced the self-renewal of hematopoietic stem cells and introduction of mutant SF3B1 in mice bearing the humanized inv(3)(q21;26) allele hastened leukemogenesis in vivo. These data provide a mechanistic basis for the frequent co-occurrence of SF3B1 mutations as well as new insights into the pathogenesis of myeloid leukemias harboring inv(3)/t(3;3).
