Mutations in splicing factor SF3B1 promote transformation through MYC stabilization

ABSTRACT: Although mutations in the RNA splicing factor SF3B1 are frequently observed in multiple human cancers, their functional role in promoting tumorigenesis and therapeutic significance remain poorly understood. Here we characterize the splicing landscape of 79 tumors and 12 isogenic cell lines harboring SF3B1 hotspot mutations, identifying hundreds of cryptic 3’ splice site (ss) events shared as well as specific to different tumor types. Regulatory network analysis shows that tumors harboring the most common hotspot mutation in SF3B1 (SF3B1K700E) activate the MYC transcriptional program. SF3B1 mutations lead to a dramatic decay of transcripts encoding the key PP2A phosphatase subunit PPP2R5A due to aberrant 3’ss usage, resulting in increased c-MYC serine 62 phosphorylation (allowing MYC to escape ubiquitin-mediated degradation) and in increased BCL2 serine 70 phosphorylation (leading to anti-apoptotic effects). This effect of SF3B1K700E on c-MYC and BCL2 activation through post-translational regulation was conserved across human and mouse cells and could be rescued by restored expression of PPP2R5A. Consonant with this, mutant SF3B1 promoted c-MYC driven tumorigenesis could be restored by the PP2A activating agent FTY-720. This study reveals the functional contribution of mutant SF3B1 to tumorigenesis through regulation of established oncogenic pathways and provides therapeutic strategies for related tumors.

Mutant SF3B1 promotes AKT and NF-kB driven mammary tumorigenesis

Project description:Mutations in the core RNA splicing factor SF3B1 are prevalent in leukemias and uveal melanoma, but also recurrent in epithelial malignancies such as breast cancer. Whereas hotspot mutations in SF3B1 alter hematopoietic differentiation, whether SF3B1 mutations contribute to epithelial cancer development and progression is unknown. Here, we identify that SF3B1 mutations in mammary epithelial and breast cancer cells induce a recurrent pattern of aberrant splicing leading to activation of AKT and NF-kB, enhanced cell migration, and accelerated tumorigenesis. Transcriptomic analysis of human cancer specimens, MMTV-cre Sf3b1K700E/WT mice, and isogenic mutant cell lines identified hundreds of aberrant 3’ splice sites induced by mutant SF3B1, a portion of which were breast-specific. Across mouse and human tumors, mutant SF3B1 promoted aberrant splicing (dependent on aberrant branchpoints as well as pyrimidines downstream of the aberrant branchpoint) and consequent suppression of PPP2R5A and MAP3K7, critical negative regulators of AKT and NF-kB. Coordinate activation of NF-kB and AKT signaling was observed in the knock-in models, leading to accelerated cell migration and tumor development in combination with mutant PIK3CA but also hypersensitizing cells to AKT kinase inhibitors. These data identify mutations in SF3B1 as drivers of breast tumorigenesis and reveal unique vulnerabilities in cancers harboring them.

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.

Physiologic expression of Sf3b1K700E causes impaired erythropoieses, aberrant splicing, and sensitivity to pharmacologic spliceosome modulation

Project description:Over 80% of patients with the refractory anemia with ring sideroblasts subtype of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) have mutations in Splicing Factor 3B, Subunit 1 (SF3B1). We generated a conditional knock-in mouse model of the most common SF3B1 mutation, Sf3b1K700E. Sf3b1K700E mice develop macrocytic anemia due to a terminal erythroid maturation defect, erythroid dysplasia, and long-term hematopoietic stem cell (LT-HSC) expansion. Sf3b1K700E myeloid progenitors and SF3B1-mutant MDS patient samples demonstrate aberrant 3' splice-site selection associated with increased nonsense-mediated decay. Tet2 loss cooperates with Sf3b1K700E to cause a more severe erythroid and LT-HSC phenotype. Furthermore, the spliceosome modulator, E7017, selectively kills Sf3b1K700E-expressing cells. Thus, Sf3b1K700E expression reflects the phenotype of the mutation in MDS and may be a therapeutic target in MDS.

Transcriptomic analyses of primary uveal melanomas

Project description:SF3B1 is coding an essential splicing factor. This gene was found recurrently mutated in uveal melanoma. To understand the consequences of these hotspot SF3B1 mutations, we performed high coverage RNA-seq on 74 primary uveal melanomas, which were treated by primary enucleation. We analyzed data for aberrant splicing in relation with SF3B1 status.

Cancer associated SF3B1 hotspot mutations induce cryptic 3' splice site selection through use of a different branch point

Project description:Recurrent mutations in the spliceosome are observed in several human cancers but their functional and therapeutic significance remain elusive. SF3B1, the most frequently mutated component of the spliceosome in cancer, is involved in the recognition of the branch point sequence (BPS) during selection of the 3’ splice site (ss) in RNA splicing. Here, we report that common and tumor-specific splicing aberrations are induced by SF3B1 mutations and establish aberrant 3’ ss selection as the most frequent splicing defect. Strikingly, mutant SF3B1 utilizes a BPS that differs from that used by wild-type SF3B1 and requires the canonical 3’ ss to enable aberrant splicing during the second step. Approximately 50% of the aberrantly spliced mRNAs are subjected to nonsense-mediated decay resulting in downregulation of gene and protein expression. These findings ascribe functional significance to the consequences of SF3B1 mutations in cancer. 72 samples, including two sets of patient data and cell lines with two additional technical replicates each

DNA Replication Stress Due to Loss of R-Loops in Myelodysplastic Syndromes with SF3B1 Mutation

Project description:Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with mutated SF3B1 gene have many features including a favorable outcome that are distinct from MDS with mutations in other splicing factor genes SRSF2 or U2AF1. Molecular bases of these divergences are poorly understood. Here we show that SF3B1-mutated MDS are characterized by a dramatically reduced R-loop formation predominating in gene bodies, which tightly associates with reduced retention of introns specifically found in SF3B1-mutated, but not in U2AF1- or SRSF2-mutated MDS. Compared to erythroblasts from SRSF2- or U2AF1-mutated patients, SF3B1-mutated erythroblasts exhibited augmented DNA synthesis, accelerated replication forks, and single-stranded DNA exposure upon differentiation, which were recapitulated in murine Sf3b1K700E/+ proerythroblasts. Importantly, R-loop formation was restored by histone deacetylase inhibition using SAHA/vorinostat, which improved Sf3b1K700E/+ erythroblast differentiation. In conclusion, loss of R-loops with associated DNA replication stress is a hallmark of SF3B1- mutated MDS ineffective erythropoiesis, which could be used as a new therapeutic target.

RNAseq of 76 samples from Uveal Melanoma tumors

Project description:Hotspot mutations in the spliceosome gene SF3B1 are reported in 20% of uveal melanomas. SF3B1 is involved in 3'-splice site (3'ss) recognition during RNA splicing; however, the molecular mechanisms of its mutation have remained unclear. Here we show, using RNA-Seq analyses of uveal melanoma, that the SF3B1 R625/K666 mutation results in deregulated splicing at a subset of junctions, mostly by the use of alternative 3'ss
