Tracking epigenetic changes during human leukemogenesis

ABSTRACT: We have developed a human model leukemia system where healthy cord blood (CB) cells from single donors are used to generate dozens of human leukemias driven by KMT2A fusions. These models have been used for the study of the stepwise changes in donor CB cells as they undergo leukemic transformation driven by the KMT2A-MLLT3 (KM3) fusion gene. We specifically studied the epigenetic changes that occur in this specific AML subgroup through ChIP-seq of histone modifications and ATAC-seq and DNA methylation through Methyl-Seq.

FLT3-N676K drives acute myeloid leukemia in a xenograft model of KMT2A-MLLT3 leukemogenesis

Project description:Activating signaling mutations are common in acute leukemia with KMT2A (previously MLL) rearrangements. Herein, we show that co-expression of FLT3-N676K and KMT2A-MLLT3 in human CD34+ cord blood cells primarily cause acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and rarely acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in immunodeficient mice. By contrast, expression of KMT2A-MLLT3 alone cause ALL, double-positive leukemia (DPL, expressing both CD33 and CD19), or bilineal leukemia (BLL, comprised of distinct myeloid and lymphoid leukemia cells), and rarely AML. Further, AML could only be serially propagated with maintained immunophenotype in secondary recipients when cells co-expressed KMT2A-MLLT3 and FLT3-N676K. Consistent with the idea that activated signaling would allow myeloid cells to engraft and maintain their self-renewal capacity, in a secondary recipient, a de novo KRAS-G13D was identified in myeloid cells previously expressing only KMT2A-MLLT3. Gene expression profiling revealed that KMT2A-MLLT3 DPL had a highly similar gene expression profile to ALL, with both expressing key lymphoid transcription factors and ALL cell surface markers, in line with the DPL cells being ALL cells with aberrant expression of CD33. Taken together, our results highlight the need for constitutive active signaling mutations for driving myeloid leukemia in a human xenograft model of KMT2A-R acute leukemia.

KMT2A-rearranged leukemia proteomics

Project description:Activating mutations in kinase/PI3K/RAS signaling pathways are common in acute leukemia with KMT2A rearrangements (KMT2A-R). These mutations are often subclonal and their biological impact remain unclear. Using a retroviral acute myeloid leukemia model, we demonstrate that NRASG12D, FLT3ITD, and FLT3N676K accelerates KMT2A-MLLT3 leukemia onset. Importantly, also the presence of subclonal FLT3N676K in KMT2A-R leukemic cells shorten disease latency, possibly by providing stimulatory factors such as Mif. Acquired de novo mutations in Braf, Cbl, Kras, and Ptpn11 were identified in KMT2A-MLLT3 driven leukemia and favored clonal expansion. KMT2A-MLLT3 leukemia with an activating mutation enforce Myc- and Myb transcriptional modules, whereas KMT2A-MLLT3 leukemias lacking activating mutations displayed upregulation of signal transduction pathways. Our results provide new insight into the biology of KMT2A-R leukemia and highlights the importance of activated signaling as a contributing driver in this disease.

Enhancer-activated RET confers protection against oxidative stress to KMT2A-rearranged acute myeloid leukemia.

Project description:KMT2A-MLLT3, a fusion protein formed by the t(9;11) translocation in acute myeloid leukemia, is an epigenetic transcription factor that is known to regulate a unique leukemic gene expression profile. We show that rearranged during transfection (RET) proto-oncogene is highly overexpressed in the KMT2A-MLLT3 subgroup. In addition to biochemical studies, the RNA-seq and ATAC seq analyses have been performed in KMT2A-MLLT3 positive MOLM-13 AML cell line, compared to the umbilical cord blood-driven CD34+ hematopoietic stem progenitor cells.

Activating mutations remodeled the chromatin accessibility landscape to drive distinct regulatory networks in KMT2A-rearranged acute leukemia

Project description:Activating FLT3 and RAS mutations are common in KMT2A-rearrangement (KMT2A-r) leukemia, but their functions in remodeling the chromatin accessibility is unknow. Using a retroviral acute myeloid leukemia (AML) mouse model driven by KMT2A::MLLT3, we show that FLT3/ITD, FLT3/N676K, and NRAS/G12D rewired the chromatin accessibility landscape and associated transcriptional networks. FLT3/N676K and NRAS/G12D mutations resulted in similar networks which were distinct from those mediated by FLT3/ITD. Motif analysis revealed that the AP-1 family transcription factors had a role in KMT2A::MLLT3 leukemia with FLT3/N676K and NRAS/G12D, whereas RUNX1/2 and Stat5a/Stat5b were active in the presence of FLT3/ITD. Further, transcriptional programs related with stemness, activation of T-cells and negative regulation of NK-cells were activated in the presence of NRAS/G12D and FLT3/N676K. Taken together, activating mutations established mutation-specific changes in the epigenetic landscape that led to changes in the transcriptional programs driven by specific transcription factors.

De novo activating mutations drive clonal evolution and enhance clonal fitness in KMT2A-rearranged leukemia

Project description:Activating signaling mutations are common in acute leukemia with KMT2A (previously MLL) rearrangements (KMT2A-R). These mutations are often subclonal and their biological impact remains unclear. Using a retroviral acute myeloid mouse leukemia model, we demonstrate that FLT3ITD, FLT3N676K, and NRAS G12D accelerate KMT2A-MLLT3 leukemia onset. Subclonal FLT3N676K mutations also accelerate disease, possibly by providing stimulatory factors such as Mif. Acquired de novo mutations in Braf, Cbl, Kras, and Ptpn11 were identified in KMT2A-MLLT3 leukemia cells and favored clonal expansion. During clonal evolution, serial genetic changes at the KrasG12D locus was observed, consistent with a strong selective advantage of additional KrasG12D. KMT2A-MLLT3 leukemias with signaling mutations enforced Myc- and Myb transcriptional modules. Our results provide new insight into the biology of KMT2A-R leukemia with subclonal signaling mutations and highlights the importance of activated signaling as a contributing driver in this disease.

Immunoproteasome function maintains oncogenic gene expression in KMT2A-complex driven leukemia

Project description:Pharmacologic targeting of epigenetic protein complexes has shown significant in vitro responses in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Early clinical trials in KMT2A-rearranged leukemia indicate rather transient responses and development of resistance. In an effort to define functional dependencies of KMT2A-fusions in AML, we identify the catalytic immunoproteasome subunit PSMB8 as a KMT2A-complex-specific vulnerability. Genetic and pharmacologic inactivation of PSMB8 results in impaired proliferation of murine and human leukemic cells while normal hematopoietic cells remain unaffected. Disruption of immunoproteasome function results in cellular enrichment of transcription factor BASP1, and consecutive repression of KMT2A-target genes. Pharmacologic targeting of PSMB8 improves efficacy of Menin-inhibitors, eradicates leukemia in primary human xenografts and shows preserved activity against Menin-inhibitor resistance mutations. This identifies and validates a cell-intrinsic mechanism whereby selective disruption of proteostasis results in altered transcription factor abundance and repression of oncogene-specific transcriptional networks. Therapeutic targeting of PSMB8-dependent transcription in combination with Menin-inhibition could thus eradicate KMT2A-complex driven AML.
