The C-terminal multimerization domain is essential for leukemia development by CBFβ-SMMHC

ABSTRACT: The recurrent chromosome 16 inversion in acute myeloid leukemia generates a fusion gene between CBFB and MYH11, which in turn encodes a chimeric protein CBFβ-SMMHC (core binding factor β-smooth muscle myosin heavy chain). We previously demonstrated that CBFβ-SMMHC needs its C terminal domains for leukemogenesis. In this study, we generated a new Cbfb-MYH11 knock-in mouse model to dissect the role of the multimerization domain at the C terminus of CBFβ-SMMHC. Specifically, we mutated six amino acids in the helices D and E (mDE) of the assembly competent domain, which is important for SMMHC multimerization. We found that the embryos with the mDE mutation (Cbfb+/mDE) did not develop hematopoietic defects seen in embryos with full-length CBFβ-SMMHC (Cbfb+/MYH11). More importantly leukemia development was abolished in the adult Cbfb+/mDE mice even after mutagenesis treatment. In addition, gene expression profile of the hematopoietic cells from the Cbfb+/mDE mice was more similar to that of Cbfb+/+ mice than the Cbfb+/MYH11 mice. Our data suggest that the C terminal multimerization domain is required for the defects in primitive and definitive hematopoiesis caused by CBFβ-SMMHC, and it is also essential for leukemogenesis caused by CBFβ-SMMHC.

Project description:Different mechanisms for CBF-MYH11 function in acute myeloid Leukemia (AML) with inv(16) have been proposed such as tethering of RUNX1 outside the nucleus, interference with transcription factor complex assembly and recruitment of histone deacetylases, all resulting in transcriptional repression of RUNX1 target genes. Here, through genome-wide CBF-MYH11 binding site analysis and quantitative interaction proteomics we found that CBF-MYH11 localizes to RUNX1 occupied promoters where it interacts with TAL1, FLI1 and TBP associated factors (TAFs) in the context of the hematopoietic transcription factors ERG, GATA2 and PU.1/SPI1 and the co regulators EP300 and HDAC1. Transcriptional analysis revealed that upon fusion protein knock down a subset of the CBF-MYH11 target genes show increased expression, confirming a role in transcriptional repression. However, the majority of CBF-MYH11 target genes, including genes implicated in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal such as ID1, LMO1 and JAG1, are actively transcribed and upon fusion protein knock down repressed. Together these results suggest an essential role for CBF-MYH11 in regulating expression of genes involved in maintaining a stem cell phenotype. 17 ChIP-seq samples using antibodies recognizing the indicated proteins and one RNA-seq file from ME-1 cells were analyzed. In addition 2 ChIP-seq profiles were generated using patient AML cells. A CBFβ-MYH11 inducible U937 system (U937CM) was used to examine binding patterns before (1 profile) and after (2 profiles) induction of CBFb-MYH11. In addition, expression was measured through RNA-seq analysis of the two states. The U937CM cells were maintained in the presence of tetracyclin (Tet, 1 uM) and grown in the absence of tetracycline for 3 days to induce expression of CBFβ-MYH11. Finally, a CBFb-MYH11 knock down system was developed in ME-1 cells. Two ME-1 cell lines were created, one with a stably integrated shRNA construct that targets CBFb-MYH11 (ME-1_knockdown) and one with a scrambled shRNA construct (ME-1_SCR). Expression of the shRNA constructs was induced using doxycyclin (dox; 1 mM) treatment for 3 days.
