Splicing Variation Contributes to Functional Dysregulation of Genes in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

ABSTRACT: Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) has been associated with somatic mutations in numerous genes; however, the penetrance of these mutations is low. Here we investigate the contribution of alternative splicing as an additional layer of gene dysregulation in AML. By analyzing splicing variations across two patient datasets, we find a consistent set of splicing events that disrupt the coding potential of a subset of AML-associated genes. Importantly, most of these splicing variations are independent of any currently-identified somatic mutations. We have further validated that for EZH2 and ZRSR2 these splicing events reduce the expression of full-length protein. Together these results highlight the contribution of splicing to gene dysregulation and demonstrate that mutation analysis underestimates the burden of functional gene disruption in patient populations.

Aberrant splicing of U12-type introns is the hallmark of ZRSR2 mutant myelodysplastic syndrome

Project description:Somatic mutations in the spliceosome gene ZRSR2 (located on the X chromosome) are associated with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). ZRSR2 is involved in the recognition of 3' splice site during the early stages of spliceosome assembly; however, its precise role in RNA splicing has remained unclear. Here, we characterize ZRSR2 as an essential component of the minor spliceosome (U12-dependent) assembly. shRNA mediated knockdown of ZRSR2 leads to impaired splicing of the U12-type introns, and RNA-Sequencing of MDS bone marrow reveals that loss of ZRSR2 activity causes increased mis-splicing. These splicing defects involve retention of the U12-type introns while splicing of the U2-type introns remain mostly unaffected. ZRSR2 deficient cells also exhibit reduced proliferation potential and distinct alterations in myeloid and erythroid differentiation in vitro. These data identify a specific role for ZRSR2 in RNA splicing and highlight dysregulated splicing of U12-type introns as a characteristic feature of ZRSR2 mutations in MDS. RNA sequencing was performed on 16 bone marrow samples (MDS and normal) and six samples of control or ZRSR2 shRNA transduced TF-1 cells and data was analysed for aberrant splicing caused by ZRSR2 mutations/deficiency.

Distinct and convergent consequences of splice factor mutations in myelodysplastic syndromes

Project description:Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are characterized by recurrent somatic alterations often affecting components of RNA splicing machinery. Mutations of splice factors SF3B1, SRSF2, ZRSR2 and U2AF1 occur in >50% of MDS. To assess the impact of spliceosome mutations on splicing and to identify common pathways/genes affected by distinct mutations, we performed RNA-sequencing of 24 MDS bone marrow samples harboring spliceosome mutations (including hotspot alterations of SF3B1, SRSF2 and U2AF1; small deletions of SRSF2 and truncating mutations of ZRSR2), and devoid of other common co-occurring mutations. We uncover the landscape of splicing alterations in each splice factor mutant MDS and demonstrate that SRSF2 deletions cause highest number of splicing alterations compared with other spliceosome mutations. Although the mis-spliced events observed in different splice factor mutations were largely non-overlapping, a subset of genes, including EZH2, were aberrantly spliced in multiple mutant groups. Pathway analysis revealed that the mis-spliced genes in different mutant groups were enriched in RNA splicing and transport as well as several signaling cascades, suggesting converging biological consequences downstream of distinct spliceosome mutations.

ZRSR1 cooperates with ZRSR2 in regulating splicing of U12-type introns in murine hematopoietic cells II

Project description:Recurrent loss-of-function mutations of spliceosome gene, ZRSR2, occur in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Mutation/loss of ZRSR2 in human myeloid cells primarily causes impaired splicing of the U12-type introns. To investigate further the role of this splice factor in splicing and hematopoietic development, we generated mice lacking ZRSR2. Unexpectedly, Zrsr2-deficient mice developed normal hematopoiesis with no abnormalities in myeloid differentiation evident in either young or ≥1-year old knockout mice. Repopulation ability of Zrsr2-deficient hematopoietic stem cells was also unaffected in reconstitution assays. Myeloid progenitors lacking ZRSR2 exhibited mis-splicing of U12-type introns, however, this phenotype was moderate compared to the ZRSR2-deficient human cells. Our investigations revealed that a closely related homolog, Zrsr1, expressed in the murine hematopoietic cells, but not human, contributes to splicing of U12-type introns. Depletion of Zrsr1 in Zrsr2 KO myeloid cells exacerbated retention of the U12-type introns, thus highlighting a collective role of ZRSR1 and ZRSR2 in murine U12-spliceosome. We also demonstrate that aberrant retention of U12-type introns of MAPK9 and MAPK14 leads to their reduced protein expression. Overall, our findings highlight that both ZRSR1 and ZRSR2 are functional components of the murine U12-spliceosome, and depletion of both proteins is required to model accurately ZRSR2-mutant MDS in mice.

Whole-exome sequencing identifies mutations of BCOR in acute myeloid leukemia with normal karyotype

Project description:Among acute myeloid leukemias (AML) with normal karyotype (CN-AML), NPM1 and CEBPA mutations define WHO provisional entities accounting for ~60% of cases, but the remaining ~40% remains poorly characterized. By whole exome-sequencing (WES) of one CN-AML patient lacking mutations in NPM1, CEBPA, FLT3, MLL-PTD and IDH1, we newly identified a clonal somatic mutation in BCOR (BCL6 co-repressor), a gene located in chromosome X. Further analyses showed that BCOR mutations occurred in 11/262 (4.2%) CN-AML cases and represented a substantial fraction (14/82, 17.1%) of CN-AML patients showing the same genetic background as the index patient subjected to WES. BCOR somatic mutations were: i) disruptive events similar to germline BCOR mutations causing the oculo-cranio-facial-dental (OCFD) genetic syndrome; ii) associated with markedly decreased BCOR mRNA levels, absence of full-length BCOR and absent or low expression of a truncated BCOR protein; iii) almost mutually exclusive with NPM1 mutations and frequently associated with DNMT3A and RUNX1 mutations, pointing to a cooperation between these events. Finally, BCOR mutations correlated with poor outcome among a cohort of 160 CN-AML patients (28% versus 66% overall survival at 2 yrs, P=0.024). Our results implicate for the first time BCOR in the pathogenesis of CN-AML without NPM1 mutations. AML samples with normal karyotype were studied. Molecular analyses were performed for BCOR mutations. 12 BCOR wild-type cases and 12 BCOR mutated cases were hybridized to gene expression micro-arrays.

Minor intron retention drives clonal hematopoietic disorders and diverse cancer predisposition

Project description:Most eukaryotes harbor two distinct pre-mRNA splicing machineries: the major spliceosome, which removes >99% of introns, and the minor spliceosome, which removes rare, evolutionarily conserved introns. Although hypothesized to serve important regulatory functions, physiologic roles for the minor spliceosome are not well understood. For example, the minor spliceosome component ZRSR2 is subject to recurrent, leukemia-associated mutations, yet functional connections between minor introns, hematopoiesis, and cancers are unclear. Here, we identify that impaired minor intron excision via ZRSR2 loss enhances hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal. CRISPR screens mimicking nonsense-mediated decay of minor intron-containing mRNAs converged on LZTR1, a regulator of Ras-related GTPases. LZTR1 minor intron retention was also discovered in the RASopathy Noonan syndrome, due to intronic mutations disrupting splicing, and diverse solid tumors. These data uncover minor intron recognition as a regulator of hematopoiesis, noncoding mutations within minor introns as cancer drivers, and links between ZRSR2 mutations, LZTR1 regulation, and leukemias.

RNA-Seq of follicles from Zrsr2 WT and Zrsr2 mutant females.

Project description:Zrsr2 is an essential minor splicing factor. To investigate the effects of minor splicing during oogenesis, Zrsr2 mutant female mice were produced. Oogenesis was blocked at the secondary follicle stage, so follicles were recovered, and total RNA was extracted and sequenced to determine the genetic basis of this phenotype.

RNA sequencing of human, IDH2-mutated, acute myeloid leukemia samples from patients before or during treatment with Enasidenib

Project description:Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) occur in many cancers including Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Recently, we showed that single agent Enasidenib, a first-in-class, selective mutant IDH2 inhibitor, produces a 40% response in relapsed/refractory AML patients by promoting differentiation of leukaemic cells. In this current study, we describe two patients who responded to Enasidenib treatment but subsequently relapsed with an IDH2-mutant subclone which had acquired mutations in DHX15 and DDX1 genes. These genes have putative functions in regulating splicing. We have studied the alternative splicing events using RNASeq in the sample pre-relapse (before acquisition of DHX15 and DDX1 mutations) and at relapse (after acquisition of DHX15 and DDX1 mutations).
