Requirement for LIM kinases in acute myeloid leukemia

ABSTRACT: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive disease for which only few targeted therapies are available. Using high-throughput RNA interference (RNAi) screening in AML cell lines, we identified LIM kinase 1 (LIMK1) as a potential novel target for AML treatment. High LIMK1 expression was significantly correlated with shorter survival of AML patients and coincided with FLT3 mutations, KMT2A rearrangements, and elevated HOX gene expression. RNAi- and CRISPR-Cas9-mediated suppression as well as pharmacologic inhibition of LIMK1 and its close homolog LIMK2 reduced colony formation and decreased proliferation due to slowed cell cycle progression of KMT2A-rearranged AML cell lines and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) samples. This was accompanied by morphologic changes indicative of myeloid differentiation. Transcriptome analysis showed upregulation of several tumor suppressor genes as well as downregulation of HOXA9 targets and mitosis-associated genes in response to LIMK1 suppression, providing a potential mechanistic basis for the anti-leukemic phenotype. Finally, we observed a reciprocal regulation between LIM kinases (LIMK) and CDK6, a kinase known to be involved in the differentiation block of KMT2A-rearranged AML, and addition of the CDK6 inhibitor palbociclib further enhanced the anti-proliferative effect of LIMK inhibition. Together, these data suggest that LIMK are promising targets for AML therapy.

Transcription profiling of human A549 lung cancer cells treated with compounds from a series of inhibitors developed against the human LIM kinases LIMK1 and LIMK2

Project description:To investigate an unknown mechanism of cytotoxicity, A549 human lung-cancer cells were treated with compounds from a series of inhibitors developed against the human LIM kinases LIMK1 and LIMK2. Compounds 1 and 2 inhibit LIM kinase activity in vitro and affect cell proliferation and survival in vivo. Compounds 3 and 4 inhibit LIM kinases but do not affect cell survival or proliferation. Compounds 5 and 6 affect proliferation and survival but do not inhibit LIM kinases. Nocodazole was included as a comparator because the compounds were known to affect microtubule stability. A treatment of 7 hours was used to examine events prior to apoptosis, while the dose levels captured both cytotoxicity and inhibition of LIMKs (Compounds 1 and 2), LIMK inhibition alone ( Compounds 3 and 4) or cytotoxicity alone (Compounds 5, 6, and Nocodazole).

RNA-seq analysis of human KMT2A rearranged Molm14 AML cell line treated with DOT1L and/or EZH2 inhibitor

Project description:The histone methyltransferases DOT1L (H3K79me1,2,3 KMT, "activating" chromatin mark) and EZH2 (H3K27me1,2,3 KMT, "silencing" mark) have both been shown to be required for growth and survival of KMT2A rearranged AML cells. Both KMTs have been shown to modulate expression of HOXA cluster genes, albeit for EZH2 this has not been shown in the context of KMT2A rearranged AML, but in other subtypes of AML. We asked what transcriptional effects dual inhibition of DOT1L and EZH2 has in KMT2A rearranged AML.

Modelling acquired resistance to DOT1L inhibition exhibits the adaptive potential of KMT2A-rearranged Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia’ [ChIP-seq]

Project description:KMT2A-rearranged acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is an aggressive type of leukemia which represents the most common form diagnosed in infancy. Oncogenic KMT2A-fusion proteins recruit histone methyltransferase DOT1L which leads to misplaced H3K79 methylation inducing an abnormal transcriptomic landscape that favors leukemia development. Hence, inhibition of DOT1L represents an attractive therapeutic strategy. Unfortunately, the first-in-class DOT1L inhibitor pinometostat resulted in the development of resistance. To understand this resistance we established acquired resistance to DOT1L inhibition in a pediatric KMT2A::AFF1+ B-ALL cell line model that stably became ~35-fold more resistant to pinometostat. Interestingly, while becoming almost completely independent of DOT1L-mediated H3K79 methylation, these cells remained fully dependent on the physical presence of DOT1L, HOXA9, as well as the KMT2A::AFF1 fusion protein. Further characterization of these cells using RNA-, ChIP-, and ATAC-sequencing analyses revealed that acquired resistance to DOT1L inhibition leads to a selective loss of KMT2A-fusion driven epigenetic regulation and expression of genes such as PROM1 (encoding the hematopoietic/leukemia stem cell marker CD133) and its enhancer TAPT1, as well as other putative KMT2A::AFF1 target genes such as RUNX2, PRSS12, ZC3H12, and GNAQ. In contrast, the levels of H3K79me2 and expression of other KMT2A::AFF1 target genes, including HOXA9, MEIS1, and CDK6 remained unaffected. Concomitantly, pinometostat-resistant KMT2A::AFF1+ B-ALL cells showed upregulation of genes associated with a myeloid immunophenotype, including CD33, LILRB4/CD85k, MPEG1, CCL5, and LIMK1. Taken together, we here present a valuable model to study the adaptive potential of KMT2A-rearranged ALL upon losing dependency on one of its main oncogenic properties.

Phosphoproteomics of primary acute myeloid leukemia cells with rearranged KMT2A

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a disease with poor outcome but patients harbouring certain chromosomal rearrangements or complex karyotypes have particularly adverse prognosis. For these patients, targeted therapies have not yet made a significant clinical impact. To understand the molecular landscape of poor risk AML we profiled 55 poor risk AML patients using a multiomics approach that included transcriptomics (n=39), proteomics (n=55), phosphoproteomics (n=55) and an ex vivo drug sensitivity screening (482 compounds tested in at least 30 patients). We identified a phosphoproteomics signature that define two biologically distinct groups of KMT2A rearranged leukaemia, which we term MLLGA and MLLGB. MLLGA presented increased DOT1L phosphorylation, HOXA gene expression, CDK1 activity and phosphorylation of proteins involved in RNA metabolism, replication and DNA damage when compared to MLLGB and no KMT2A rearranged samples. MLLGA was particularly sensitive to 15 compounds including genotoxic drugs and inhibitors of mitotic kinases and IMPDH relative to other cases. The expression of IMPDH2 and multiple nucleolar proteins was higher in MLLGA and correlated with the response to IMPDH inhibition in KMT2A rearranged leukaemia, suggesting a role of the nucleolar activity in sensitivity to IMPDH inhibition. In summary, our multilayer molecular profiling of poor risk AML matched to the response to hundreds of compounds identified a phosphoproteomics signature that define two biologically and phenotypically distinct groups of KMT2A rearranged leukaemia. These data provide a rationale for the development of specific therapies for KMT2A subgroups characterised by the MLLGA phosphoproteomics signature identified in this study.

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.

shRNA profiling of human MLL cells reveals HOXA9 is required for survival in human MLL rearranged acute leukemias

Project description:Leukemias that harbor translocations involving the mixed lineage leukemia gene (MLL) possess unique biological characteristics and often have an unfavorable prognosis. Gene expression analyses demonstrate a distinct profile for MLL-rearranged leukemias with consistent high-level expression of select Homeobox genes including HOXA9. Here, we investigated the effects of HOXA9 suppression in MLL-rearranged and MLL-germline leukemias utilizing RNAi. Gene expression profiling after HOXA9 suppression demonstrated co-downregulation of a program highly expressed in human MLL-AML (this study) and murine MLL-leukemia (Krivtsov et al. 2006) stem cells including HOXA10, MEIS1, PBX3 and MEF2C. Our data indicates an important role for HOXA9 in human MLL-rearranged leukemias, and suggests targeting HOXA9 or downstream programs may be a novel therapeutic option. Experiment Overall Design: RNA was purified from t(9;11) MOLM-14 AML cells 44h after transduction in triplicates with 2 of the two most effective HOXA9shRNA constructs (3 x 1F3-HOXA9shRNA; 3 x 2A5-HOXA9shRNA) or GFP-controlshRNA (6x).
