The BAF chromatin remodeling complex is a novel target of spliceosome dysregulation in SF3B1-mutated chronic lymphocytic leukemia

ABSTRACT: SF3B1 mutations are recurrent genetic aberrations in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) that are particularly enriched in the clinically aggressive stereotyped subset #2. To elucidate the effect of SF3B1 mutations on splicing, we performed RNA-sequencing on 100 CLL subset cases, including 35 subset #2 cases. Zooming in on subset #2, we identified 61 differentially expressed splicing events when comparing 17 SF3B1mut to 18 SF3B1wt cases. A key event concerned the inclusion of an alternative exon in BRD9, a BAF chromatin remodeling complex component. We also detected alternative splicing in 5 additional transcripts related to the BAF complex: ZEB1, PLSCR1, PAPD5, DCAF16, and DLST. Long-read RNA-sequencing confirmed these alternative splice transcripts. In conclusion, spliceosome dysregulation caused by mutated SF3B1 leads to multiple splicing events and altered BAF complex function, highlighting a potential novel therapeutic vulnerability in SF3B1mut CLL.

Novel SF3B1 Deletion Mutations Result in Aberrant RNA Splicing in CLL Patients

Project description:Recurrent mutations in RNA splicing factors SF3B1, U2AF1, and SRSF2 have been reported in hematologic cancers including myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). However, SF3B1 is the only splicing associated gene to be found mutated in CLL and has been shown to induce aberrant splicing. To investigate if any other genomic aberration caused similar transcriptome changes, we clustered RNASeq samples based on an alternative 3’ splice site (ss) pattern previously identified in SF3B1-mutant CLL patients. Out of 215 samples, we identified 37 (17%) with alternative 3’ ss usage, the majority of which harbored known SF3B1 hotspot mutations. Interestingly, 3 patient samples carried previously unreported in-frame deletions in SF3B1 around K700, the most frequent mutation hotspot. To study the functional effects of these deletions, we used various minigenes demonstrating that recognition of canonical 3’ ss and alternative branchsite are required for aberrant splicing, as observed for SF3B1 p.K700E. The common mechanism of action of these deletions and substitutions result in similar sensitivity of primary cells towards splicing inhibitor E7107. Altogether, these data demonstrate that novel SF3B1 in-frame deletion events identified in CLL result in aberrant splicing, a common biomarker in spliceosome-mutant cancers.

Transcriptome analysis of chronic lymphoid leukemia reveals isoform regulation associated with mutations in SF3B1

Project description:Several DNA sequencing studies of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) revealed that the splicing factor SF3B1 accumulated somatic point mutations in about 10 percent of the patients. In most cases the mutations were located in the genomic regions coding for the C-terminal HEAT-repeat domain and in many cases, the mutations gave rise to specific amino acid substitutions. Here, we aimed to investigate differential usage of exons associated with the mutation K700E of SF3B1 in CLL tumuor cells. We generated RNA-Seq transcriptome data from two patients with mutations in SF3B1, two patient without mutations in SF3B1 and from healthy donors. We report interesting examples and possible consequences of the alternative exon usage in these genes. This dataset contains only the files resulting from the processing the RNA sequencing raw data. This avoids potential patient identifiability, but ensures the full reproducibility of the results described in the publication.

Gene expression study in SF3B1-mutated, NOTCH1-mutated and WT CLL cells

Project description:Mutations of SF3B1 in CLL induce alternative splicing in multiple transcripts, including DVL2. DVL2 in turn can act as a negative regulator of NOTCH1 signaling. Gene Expression Profile (GEP) was used to investigate the activation of the NOTCH1 pathway in presence of alternatively spliced DVL2.

Long-read sequencing of CLL and MDS patients uncovers molecular effects of SF3B1 mutations in cancer (SF3B1 & U2AF2 iCLIP)

Project description:Alternative splicing plays a critical role in generating transcriptome diversity, and aberrant splicing is frequently observed in cancer. Mutations in the splicing factor SF3B1 are particularly common in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), with different survival prognoses. We applied long-read sequencing for the investigation of the SF3B1 mutation effect on the transcriptome of MDS and CLL patients, as well as isogenic cell lines. Our results revealed that SF3B1 mutation effect was common across the different diseases and specifically altered the usage of 3’ alternative splice sites within short proximity to the canonical splice sites. Based on computational simulations, the most common K700E mutation led to destabilization of the SF3B1-mRNA binding. Furthermore, we combined the full isoform information with genome-wide SF3B1-RNA binding maps to predict the functional consequences of the aberrant splicing and gain mechanistic insights into the role of mutated SF3B1 in splicing.

RNA sequencing of bone marrow CD34+ cells from myelodysplastic syndrome patients with and without SF3B1 mutation and from healthy controls

Project description:The splicing factor SF3B1 is the most commonly mutated gene in the myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), particularly in patients with refractory anemia with ring sideroblasts (RARS). MDS is a disorder of the hematopoietic stem cell and we thus studied the transcriptome of CD34+ cells from MDS patients with SF3B1 mutations using RNA-sequencing. Genes significantly differentially expressed at the transcript and/or exon level in SF3B1 mutant compared to wildtype cases include genes involved in MDS pathogenesis (ASXL1, CBL), iron homeostasis and mitochondrial metabolism (ALAS2, ABCB7, SLC25A37) and RNA splicing/processing (PRPF8, HNRNPD). Many genes regulated by a DNA damage-induced BRCA1-BCLAF1-SF3B1 protein complex showed differential expression/splicing in SF3B1 mutant cases. Our data indicate that SF3B1 plays a critical role in MDS by affecting the expression and splicing of genes involved in specific cellular processes/pathways, many of which are relevant to the known RARS pathophysiology, suggesting a causal link. RNA-Seq was performed to compare the transcriptome of bone marrow CD34+ cells from eight MDS patients with SF3B1 mutation, four MDS patients with no known splicing mutation and five healthy controls.

A novel regulatory mechanism of U2 spliceosome proteostasis that controls the transcriptome and therapy response in cancer

Project description:Aberrant splicing is an important cause of cancer, and the production of noncanonical, cancer-specific, mRNA transcripts associates with transformation. Studies have focused on characterizing the effect of spliceosome mutations on disease progression. Here, we have uncovered a novel mode of regulation of the U2 complex component SF3B1 in leukemia via lysosomal degradation. Elevated levels of SF3B1 protein control splicing and active transcription via direct interaction with the general transcriptional machinery and are critical for leukemia growth due to the control of cell cycle and DNA damage response-related transcripts, such as the serine/threonine kinase CHEK2. We further exploited these findings to show that clinically-used SF3B1 inhibitors synergize with transcriptional inhibitors, CHEK2 inhibitors and chemotherapy drugs to block leukemia growth. Our study provides the proof-of-principle for post-translational regulation of the splicing machinery via the lysosome and associated splicing-dependent and -independent roles of the U2 complex in cancer, that can be exploited for therapeutic purposes.

Spliceosomal disruption of the non-canonical BAF complex in cancer

Project description:SF3B1 is the most commonly mutated RNA splicing factor in cancer, but the mechanisms by which SF3B1 mutations promote malignancy are poorly understood. Here, we integrated pan-cancer RNA sequencing to identify mutant SF3B1-dependent aberrant splicing with a positive enrichment CRISPR screen to prioritize splicing alterations that functionally promote tumorigenesis. We identify that diverse, recurrent SF3B1 mutations converge on repression of BRD9, a core component of the recently described non-canonical BAF (ncBAF) complex. Mutant SF3B1 recognizes an aberrant deep intronic branchpoint within BRD9, thereby inducing inclusion of an endogenous retrovirus-derived poison exon and BRD9 mRNA degradation. BRD9 depletion causes loss of ncBAF at CTCF-bound loci and promotes melanomagenesis. We demonstrate that BRD9 is a potent tumor suppressor in uveal melanoma, such that correcting BRD9 mis-splicing in SF3B1-mutant cell lines and patient-derived melanoma xenografts with antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) or by directly targeting its poison exon with CRISPR-directed mutagenesis profoundly suppresses tumor growth. Our results implicate disruption of ncBAF in the diverse malignancies characterized by SF3B1 mutations, identify a single aberrant splicing event which functionally contributes to the pathogenesis of SF3B1-mutant cancers, and suggest a mechanism-based therapeutic for these malignancies.
