SETDB2 links E2A-PBX1 to cell cycle dysregulation in acute leukemia through CDKN2C repression [sequencing]

ABSTRACT: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality necessitating further improvements in diagnosis and therapy. Targeted therapies directed against epigenetic regulators, which are frequently mutated or misregulated in acute leukemia, are emerging as candidate approaches in preclinical studies and early trials. However, the epigenetic factors involved in most ALLs are not well defined or functionally characterized. In this study, we demonstrate an oncogenic role for the protein lysine methyltransferase SETDB2 in leukemia pathogenesis. It is over-expressed in a wide spectrum of leukemias, required for their maintenance in vitro and in vivo, and its elevated expression correlates with a poor prognosis in clinical cohorts. In a subset of ALL with the preBCR+ phenotype, SETDB2 expression is maintained as a direct target gene of the chimeric transcription factor E2A-PBX1. In this subset, SETDB2 epigenetically suppresses expression of the cell cycle inhibitor CDKN2C through histone H3K9 tri-methylation thus establishing a novel oncogenic pathway subordinate to E2A-PBX1 that silences a major tumor suppressor in ALL. In contrast, SETDB2 was relatively dispensable for normal hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell proliferation. In addition to targeting SETDB2 alone, its knockdown significantly enhanced sensitivity to kinase and epigenetic inhibitors suggesting a potential approach to future combination treatments. Our studies define an epigenetic role for SETDB2 in leukemia pathogenesis, and provide a mechanistic rationale for targeting SETDB2 therapeutically in a subset of leukemia.

Microarray data of mouse primary E2A-PBX1 leukemia and preleukemia cells

Project description:Microarray data of mouse primary E2A-PBX1 leukemias and preleukemia cells were compared to wild-type B-cell progenitor cells Aberrant activation of signaling pathways has been linked to leukemogenesis, however, little is known about cell signaling perturbations induced by fusion transcription factors. To address this, we interrogated activated signaling pathways in a comparative analysis of mouse and human leukemias expressing the chimeric fusion protein E2A-PBX1, which is present in 5-7% of pediatric and 50% of pre-B-cell receptor (preBCR+) ALL. We describe here signaling network remodeling by E2A-PBX1 in pre-B-ALL, which results in hyperactivation of PLCγ2. Depletion of PLCγ2 reduced proliferation of mouse and human ALLs, including E2A-PBX1 leukemias, and increased disease-free survival after secondary transplantation. E2A-PBX1 binds and activates the transcription of its target genes ZAP70, SYK and LCK, which encode kinases upstream of PLCγ2. Efficient shRNA-mediated depletion of the respective upstream kinases decreased cell proliferation and phosphorylated levels of PLCγ2 (pPLCγ2). Pairwise compound knockdown of ZAP70, SYK or LCK showed additive effects on cell growth inhibition, providing a rationale for combination therapy. Inhibition of SYK, LCK and SFK with small molecule inhibitors, including dasatinib, was highly effective in reducing pPLCγ2 and inhibiting proliferation of preBCR+ leukemias in vitro and in vivo. Combination small molecule inhibition of SYK, LCK and SFK showed promising preclinical efficacy for preBCR+/E2A-PBX1+ leukemias. These studies demonstrate that E2A-PBX1 induces signaling pathway perturbations upstream of PLCγ2, which render leukemias amenable to targeted therapeutic inhibition.

Genome-wide maps of factors and gene expression in pre-B leukemic 697 line

Project description:E2A, a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor, plays a crucial role in determining tissue-specific cell fate, including differentiation of B cell lineages. In 5% of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the t(1,19) chromosomal translocation specifically targets the E2A gene and produces an oncogenic E2A-PBX1 fusion protein. While previous studies have demonstrated oncogenic functions of E2A-PBX1 in cell and animal models, the E2A-PBX1-enforced cistrome, the E2A-PBX1 interactome, and related mechanisms underlying leukemogenesis remain unclear. Here, by unbiased genomic profiling approaches, we identify the direct target sites of E2A-PBX1 in t(1,19)-positive pre-B ALL cells and show that, compared to normal E2A, E2A-PBX1 preferentially binds to a subset of gene loci co-bound by RUNX1 and gene-activating machineries (p300, MED1, and H3K27 acetylation). Using biochemical analyses, we further document a direct interaction between E2A-PBX1 and RUNX1 and show that E2A-PBX1 binding to gene enhancers is dependent on RUNX1, but not the DNA-binding activity harbored within the PBX1 homeodomain of E2A-PBX1. Transcriptome analyses and cell transformation assays further establish a significant RUNX1 requirement for E2A-PBX1-mediated target gene activation and leukemogenesis. Notably, the RUNX1 locus itself is also directly activated by E2A-PBX1, indicating a multilayered interplay between E2A-PBX1 and RUNX1. Collectively, our study provides the first unbiased profiling of the E2A-PBX1 cistrome in pre-B ALL cells and reveals a previously unappreciated pathway in which E2A-PBX1 acts in concert with RUNX1 to enforce transcriptome alterations for the development of pre-B ALL.

Targeting TNF/IL-17/MAPK Pathway in hE2A-PBX1 Leukemia: effects of OUL35, KJ-Pyr-9, and CID44216842

Project description:t(1;19)(q23;p13) is one of the most common translocation genes in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and is also present in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and mixed-phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL). This translocation results in the formation of the oncogenic E2A-PBX1 fusion protein, which contains a trans-activating domain from E2A and a DNA-binding homologous domain from PBX1. Despite its clear oncogenic potential, the pathogenesis of E2A-PBX1 fusion protein is not fully understood (especially in leukemias other than ALL), and effective targeted clinical therapies have not been developed. To address this, we established a stable and heritable zebrafish line expressing human E2A-PBX1 (hE2A-PBX1) for high-throughput drug screening. Blood phenotype analysis showed that hE2A-PBX1 expression induced myeloid hyperplasia by increasing myeloid differentiation propensity of hematopoietic stem cells (HSPCs) and myeloid proliferation in larvae, and progressed to AML in adults. Mechanistic studies revealed that hE2A-PBX1 activated the TNF/IL-17/MAPK signaling pathway in blood cells and induced myeloid hyperplasia by up-regulating the expression of the runx1. Interestingly, through high-throughput drug screening, three small molecules targeting the TNF/IL-17/MAPK signaling pathway were identified, including OUL35, KJ-Pyr-9, and CID44216842, which not only alleviated the hE2A-PBX1-induced myeloid hyperplasia in zebrafish but also inhibited the growth and oncogenicity of human pre-B ALL cells with E2A-PBX1. Overall, this study provides a novel hE2A-PBX1 transgenic zebrafish leukemia model and identifies potential targeted therapeutic drugs, which may offer new insights into the treatment of E2A-PBX1 leukemia and improve the quality of life of leukemia patients.

setdb2 knockdown microarray

Project description:As the primary driving forces of gastrulation, convergence and extension (C&E) movements lead to a medio-lateral narrowing and an anterior-posterior elongation of the embryonic body axis. Histone methylation as a post-translational modification plays a critical role for early embryonic development, but its functions on C&E movements remaine largely unknown. Here, we uncover that knockdown of setdb2, a SET domain-containing protein possessing potential histone H3K9 methyltransferase activity, induces abnormal C&E movements. Then, we perform genome-wide gene expression profiling of zebrafish in 6h control embryos and setdb2 morphant embryos to address the downstream target of setdb2 gene.

Oncogenic roles of SETDB2 histone methyltransferase in gastric cancer

Project description:Histone H3 lysine 9 tri-methyltransferases (H3K9me3) are related to transcriptional gene silencing. Although SETDB2 has H3K9me3 activity, it is unknown whether SETDB2 is linking to carcinogenesis. Here, we studied alterations and functions of SETDB2 in gastric cancers (GCs). In human clinical samples, overexpression of SETDB2 protein was observed in 30 of 72 (41.7%) primary GC tissues compared with their normal counterparts, and significantly associated with poor prognosis of the patients (P<0.05). SETDB2 protein was significantly detected in late stage of GCs. Moreover, SETDB2 protein was strongly expressed in four (30.8%) of 13 GC cell lines, and knockdown of SETDB2 led to decrease the cell proliferation, migration and invasion. According to the microarray analysis on a GC cell line after knockdown of SETDB2, the expression of WWOX and CADM1 tumor suppressor genes was significantly up-regulated. ChIP analysis showed that the H3K9me3 levels at the promoter regions of WWOX and CADM1 genes were closely regulated by the SETDB2 in GC cells. We also found that SETDB2 bound to the promoter regions after SETDB2 overexpression. Our data suggest that SETDB2 is associated with transcriptional repression of WWOX and CADM1, through H3K9me3, and hence overexpression of SETDB2 may contribute to gastric progression. Transfection of SETDB2 siRNA into MKN74 cells were performed by electroporation. After 48hrs, cells were harvested. Total RNA was used for cDNA microarray.
