DOT1L inhibition reveals a distinct subset of enhancers dependent on H3K79 methylation (Capture-C)

ABSTRACT: Enhancer elements are a key regulatory feature of many important genes. Several general features including the presence of specific histone modifications are used to demarcate potentially active enhancers. Here we reveal that putative enhancers marked with H3 lysine 79 (K79) di or trimethylation (me2/3) (which we name H3K79me2/3 enhancer elements or KEEs) can be found in multiple cell types. Mixed lineage leukemia gene (MLL) rearrangements (MLL-r) such as MLL-AF4 are a major cause of incurable acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALL). Using the DOT1L inhibitor EPZ-5676 in MLL-AF4 leukemia cells, we show that H3K79me2/3 is required for maintaining chromatin accessibility, histone acetylation and transcription factor binding specifically at KEEs but not non-KEE enhancers. We go on to show that H3K79me2/3 is essential for maintaining enhancer-promoter interactions at a subset of KEEs. Together, these data implicate H3K79me2/3 as having a functional role at a subset of active enhancers in MLL-AF4 leukemia cells.

DOT1L inhibition reveals a distinct subset of enhancers dependent on H3K79 methylation (ChIP-seq)

MLL-AF4 cooperates with PAF1 and FACT to drive high density enhancer interactions in leukemia

Project description:Aberrant enhancer activation is a key mechanism driving oncogene expression in many cancers. While much is known about the regulation of larger chromosome domains in eukaryotes, the details of enhancer-promoter interactions remain poorly understood. Recent work suggests co-activators like BRD4 and Mediator have little impact on enhancer-promoter interactions. In leukemias controlled by the MLL-AF4 fusion protein, we use the ultra-high resolution technique Micro-Capture-C (MCC) to show that MLL-AF4 binding promotes broad, high-density regions of enhancer-promoter interactions at a subset of key targets. These enhancers are enriched for transcription elongation factors like PAF1C and FACT and loss of these factors abolishes enhancer-promoter contact. This work not only provides a new model for how MLL-AF4 is able to drive high levels of transcription at key genes in leukemia, but also suggests a more general model linking enhancer-promoter crosstalk and transcription elongation.

H3K79me2/3 controls enhancer promoter interactions and activation of the pan-cancer stem cell marker PROM1/CD133 in MLL-AF4 leukemia cells (ATAC-seq)

Project description:MLL gene rearrangements (MLLr) are a common cause of aggressive, incurable acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALL) in infants and children, most of which originate in utero. The most common MLLr produces an MLL-AF4 fusion protein. MLL-AF4 promotes leukemogenesis by activating key target genes, mainly through recruitment of DOT1L and increased histone H3 lysine 79 methylation (H3K79me2/3). One key MLL-AF4 target gene is PROM1 which encodes CD133 (Prominin-1). CD133 is a pentaspan transmembrane glycoprotein that represents a potential pan-cancer target as it is found on multiple cancer stem cells. Here we demonstrate that aberrant PROM1/CD133 expression is essential for leukemic cell growth, mediated by direct binding of MLL-AF4. Activation is controlled by an intragenic H3K79me2/3 enhancer element (KEE) leading to increased enhancer-promoter interactions between PROM1 and the nearby gene TAPT1. This dual locus regulation is reflected in a strong correlation of expression in leukemia. We find that in PROM1/CD133 non-expressing cells, the PROM1 locus is repressed by polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) binding, associated with reduced expression of TAPT1, partially due to loss of interactions with the PROM1 locus. Together, these results provide the first detailed analysis of PROM1/CD133 regulation that explains CD133 expression in MLLr ALL.

A novel human fetal model of infant ALL reveals a link between MLL-AF4, PAF1 and increased H3K79me2/3 [RNA-seq]

Project description:Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) caused by chromosomal translocation involving the Mixed Lineage Leukemia (MLL) gene remains a poor prognosis disease, especially in infants. The most common MLL-rearrangement in infant ALL (iALL), MLL-AF4, originates in utero where the properties of fetal target cells likely provide a permissive landscape for transformation. We describe the first faithful MLL-AF4 iALL model derived by CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing of primary human fetal liver (FL) cells. Using this model, we demonstrate that H3K79me2/3 is increased during transformation as a direct consequence of MLL-AF4 binding, but correlates weakly with changes in gene expression. DOT1L, the only known H3K79 methyltransferase, does not form part of the MLL-AF4 complex. Instead, we identify PAF1 as a key protein recruited by the MLL-AF4 complex, which in turn can recruit DOT1L. These results explain the previously unclear link between MLL-AF4 binding and increased H3K79me2/3, and introduce an iALL-specific model for future drug studies.

MLL-AF4 binds directly to a BCL-2 specific enhancer and impacts H3K27 acetylation

Project description:Survival rates for children diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have drastically improved, but those carrying mutations in the Mixed Lineage Leukemia (MLL) gene continue to have a very poor prognosis. The most common MLL mutation in ALL is the t(4;11)(q21;q23) chromosome translocation that fuses MLL in frame with the AF4 gene producing MLL-AF4 and AF4-MLL fusion proteins. Previously, we showed that MLL-AF4 binds to the BCL-2 gene and directly activates it through DOT1L recruitment and increased H3K79me2/3 levels. We went on to show that MLL leukemias are particularly sensitive to treatment with the BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax which synergizes with both standard chemotherapeutic agents as well as DOT1L inhibitors. Altered expression of other BCL-2 family members is a major cause of resistance to ventoclax, so here we perform a detalied analysis of MLL-AF4 regulation of the entire BCL-2 family. By measuring nascent RNA production, we find that of all the BCL-2 family genes, MLL-AF4 directly controls the transcription of both BCL-2 and MCL-1, but only BCL-2 shows a significant loss of steady state RNA levels. Interestingly however, both MCL-1 and BCL-XL protein levels are dependent on MLL-AF4 activity through an unknown and likely indirect mechanism. Finally, we analyze MLL-AF4 regulation of the BCL-2 gene in greater detail and using Capture C we identify a major BCL-2 specific enhancer consisting of two clusters of H3K27Ac. Loss of MLL-AF4 activity results in a reduction of H2K27Ac levels at the major BCL-2 enhancer, revealing a novel regulatory dependence on MLL-AF4 function at BCL-2.

Expression, ChIP-chip, and ChIP-Seq data from REH and SEM leukemia cell lines [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:MLL-fusion proteins are potent inducers of cancer in hematopoietic cells, where they are known to cause changes in global gene expression. How MLL-fusion proteins interact with the genome has not been established, so we have limited understanding of the pathway by which these proteins generate aberrant gene expression programs. Here we describe how the MLL-AF4 protein occupies the genome in human leukemia cells and its striking effects on chromatin states. We find that the MLL-AF4 fusion protein selectively occupies regions of the genome that contain developmental regulatory genes important for hematopoietic stem cell identity and self-renewal. These MLL-AF4 bound regions have grossly altered chromatin structure, with histone modifications catalyzed by Trithorax Group (TrxG) proteins and Dot1 extending across unusually large domains. This indicates that a key feature of MLL-associated leukemogenesis is aberrant targeting of chromatin modifiers to regions of the genome controlling hematopoietic development. Our results define the direct targets of the MLL-fusion protein, reveal the global role of epigenetic misregulation in leukemia, and identify new targets for therapeutic intervention in human cancer. This dataset includes expression data for two replicates each of SEM and REH leukemia cell lines, ChIP-chip data targeting RNAP2, H3K4me3, H3K79me2, ENL, AF4-C, and MLL-N in SEM and REH leukemia cell lines, and ChIP-Seq data of H3K79me2, H3K4me3, ans WCE in SEM and REH cell lines. This Series contains the ChIP-Seq data only. The expression and ChIP-chip data are provided in GEO Series GSE13313.
