DNMT3A and TET2 Mutations Increase Hematopoietic Stem Cell Fitness Through Distinct Mechanisms

ABSTRACT: Epigenetic modifying enzymes DNMT3A and TET2 are recurrently mutated in hematological disorders despite possessing opposing biochemical functions in the DNA methylation processes. Using conditional ablation, we show these contrasting genotypes result in different functional effects in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Loss of Dnmt3a bestows enhanced self-renewal on HSCs in serial, competitive repopulation assays while Tet2 loss functionally depletes HSCs after a tertiary transplant despite an initial competitive advantage. Moreover, loss of Tet2 sensitizes HSCs to the addition of a common leukemic driver mutation Flt3-ITD. Tet2-null mice experience a 5-fold decrease in median survival time when combined with Flt3-ITD while that of Dnmt3a-null mice decreases 1.5-fold. Molecular characterization of transcriptomes and chromatin accessibility reflects the functional differences between the genotypes as Dnmt3a-null cells reside in a more stem cell-like state while Tet2 loss leads to functional attrition of down-stream progenitors. These data further prove that DNMT3A and TET2 mutations lead HSCs down different molecular and functional pathways despite similar disease destinations.

Crenolanib in combination with azacitidine abrogates stromal protection and survival of leukemia-initiating cells in FLT3-ITD+ AML

Project description:Effectively targeting leukemia-initiating cells (LIC) in FLT3-internal-tandem-duplication (ITD)-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains a crucial goal for achievement of cure. FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) have limited impact as single agents and have thus far been unable to eradicate LIC enriched in the CD34+CD38- bone marrow compartment and protected by contact with niche cells.Using primary AML samples in vitro as well as in an in vivo xenograft model, we investigated whether combining the novel FLT3-selective TKI crenolanib with the hypomethylating agent azacitidine (AZA) can eliminate LIC in FLT3-ITD+ AML and determined whether efficacy of this combination is dependent on coexisting genetic mutations in DNMT3A, NPM1 and TET2. Our data show that crenolanib as a single agent was unable to target FLT3-ITD+ LIC in contact with niche cells while the addition of AZA overcame stromal protection and resulted in dramatically reduced clonogenic capacity of FLT3-ITD+ LIC in vitro as well as severely impaired engraftment capacity of FLT3-ITD+ LIC in NSG mice. Strikingly, FLT3-mutated AML samples harboring concurrent TET2 mutations were completely resistant to crenolanib as a single agent. Mutations in DNMT3A or NPM1 had no influence on response to crenolanib while DNMT3A mutations conferred increased sensitivity of FLT3-ITD+ LIC to AZA. Our data suggest that response to crenolanib or AZA as single agents in FLT3-ITD+ AML is highly dependent on coexisting mutations in epigenetic regulators. However, the combination of AZA + crenolanib effectively eliminated FLT3-ITD+ LIC irrespective of additional mutations in NPM1, DNMT3A or TET2.

Alkynyl nicotinamides with antileukemic activity to treat poor prognosis AM

Project description:FLT3 activating mutations cause myeloproliferative neoplasms by deregulating hematopoietic progenitor cell growth, and acute myeloid leukemia is on the rise. Investigational drugs targeting mutant FLT3, including Quizartinib and Crenolanib, develop inherent and acquired resistance to FLT3 targeted therapy. FLT3 inhibitor resistance in AML is dependent on co-occurring mutations, parallel survival pathways, and/or subsequent FLT3-ITD mutations. Despite the high prevalence of FLT3 mutations and their clinical significance in AML, there are few targeted therapeutic options. We identified two novel naphthyridine-based FLT3 inhibitors (HSN608 and HSN748) that specifically target FLT3-ITD at sub-nanomolar concentrations and are effective against drug-resistant secondary mutations. In the current study, we evaluated these compounds antileukemic activity against FLT3-ITD and gatekeeper mutations in drug-resistant AML, relapsed/refractory AMLs with FLT3 mutations, and in vivo mouse models with combinations of epigenetic mutations TET2 with FLT3-ITD, and AML patients PDX. In these model systems, we demonstrate that HSN748 outperforms the FDA-approved FLT3 inhibitor Gilteritinib in terms of inhibitory activity against FLT3-ITD.

DNMT3A and TET2 Compete and Cooperate to Repress Differentiation Lineage-Specific Factors in Hematopoietic Stem Cells

Project description:Mutations in the epigenetic modifiers DNMT3A and TET2 non-randomly co-occur in lymphoma and leukemia despite their epistasis in the methylation-hydroxymethylation pathway. Using double knock-out (DKO) mice in which malignancy development is accelerated, we show that the DKO methylome reflects regions of independent, competitive and cooperative activity. Expression of lineage-specific transcription factors, including the erythroid regulator Klf1 is upregulated in DKO HSCs. DNMT3A and TET2 both repress Klf1 suggesting a model of cooperative inhibition by the epigenetic modifiers. These data demonstrate a dual role for TET2 in promoting and inhibiting HSC differentiation, loss of which, along with DNMT3A, obstructs differentiation leading to transformation.

Dnmt3a haploinsufficiency transforms Flt3-ITD myeloproliferative disease into a rapid, spontaneous, and fully-penetrant acute myeloid leukemia (Single Cell RNA-Seq)

Project description:Cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemia (CN-AML) represents nearly 50% of human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases with a 5-year overall survival of approximately 30%. In CN-AML with poorer prognosis, mutations in the de novo DNA methyltransferase (DNMT3A) and the FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (Flt3) commonly co-occur (1-3). We demonstrate that mice with Flt3-internal-tandem duplication (Flt3ITD) and inducible deletion of Dnmt3a spontaneously develop a rapidly-lethal, completely-penetrant, and transplantable AML of normal karyotype. These murine AML retain a single Dnmt3a floxed allele, revealing the oncogenic potential of Dnmt3a haploinsufficiency. FLT3-ITD/DNMT3A-mutant primary human and murine AML demonstrate a similar pattern of global DNA methylation. In the murine model, rescuing DNMT3A expression was accompanied by DNA re-methylation and loss of clonogenic potential, suggesting that Dnmt3a-mutant oncogenic effects are reversible. Differentially methylated genomic regions were associated with changes in the expression of nearby genes. Moreover, dissection of the cellular architecture of the AML model using single-cell RNA-Seq, flow cytometry and colony assays identified clonogenic subpopulations that differentially express genes that are sensitive to the methylation of nearby genomic loci and varied in response to Dnmt3a levels. Thus, Dnmt3a haploinsufficiency transforms Flt3ITD myeloproliferative disease by modulating methylation-sensitive gene expression within a clonogenic AML subpopulation. To identify the gene expression changes associated with Dnmt3a loss of function in human and murine Flt3-ITD and Dnmt3a-mutant AML (Single Cell RNA-Seq).

Loss of Dnmt3a Immortalizes Hematopoietic Stem Cells in vivo [WGBS]

Project description:Recent epidemiological studies have shown that cancer-associated DNMT3A mutations can be detected in the blood of a large proportion of asymptotic elderly individuals. It is important to understand how these mutations provide a competitive advantage to HSCs and allow them to establish clonal dominance. Here we demonstrate that the stress of serial HSC transplantation immortalizes Dnmt3a-null HSCs.
