Evolution of AML genome and epigenome with IDH inhibitors and their association with clinical response and resistance [methylation]

ABSTRACT: Allosteric inhibitors of mutant IDH1 or IDH2 induce terminal differentiation in mutant leukemic blasts and may provide durable clinical responses in approximately 40% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with the mutations. However, most responders eventually relapse. To understand the molecular underpinnings of clinical resistance, we performed multipronged genomic analyses (DNA sequencing, RNA sequencing and cytosine methylation profiling) in longitudinally collected specimens from 68 IDH1/IDH2-mutant AML patients treated with IDH inhibitors (IDHi), and described the evolution of AML genome and epigenome during the therapy and its association with clinical response and relapse. Co-occurrence of mutations in RUNX1/CEBPA or RAS-RTK pathway genes were associated with poor response to IDHi. The same group of mutations were also frequently selected or acquired at relapse. In addition, acquired mutations in BCOR, reciprocal IDH gene, and TET2 were also implicated at relapse. DNA methylation changes largely mirrored plasma 2HG dynamics and had little association with clinical response to IDHi. The mapping of mutation dynamics and methylation changes in longitudinal samples revealed the interplay between AML genome and epigenome with IDHi therapy. While the alteration in RAS-RTK signaling genes and RUNX1/CEBPA were the key molecular pathways involved in clinical resistance to IDHi, diverse molecular pathways were involved in IDHi resistance. The data highlights the role of clonal heterogeneity in therapeutic resistance in AML and implicates opportunities for novel combination strategies.

Project description:Gene expression of mouse hepatoblasts (HBs) expressing IDH1 WT, IDH1 R132C, IDH2 WT, R172K and empty vector controls (N=2 cultures for each condition) grown on collagen-coated plates and IDH1 R132C and empty vector controls on uncoated plates were evaluated using Affymetrix Mouse 430Av2 DNA microarrays that were processed at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute core facility (http://macf-web.dfci.harvard.edu/) using their standard protocol. Mutations in Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) and IDH2 are among the most common genetic alterations in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCC), a deadly primary liver cancer. Mutant IDH proteins in IHCC and other malignancies acquire an abnormal enzymatic activity allowing them to convert alphaketoglutarate (aKG) to 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG), which inhibits the activity of multiple aKG-dependent dioxygenases, and results in alterations in cell differentiation, survival, and extracellular matrix maturation. However, the molecular pathways by which IDH mutations lead to tumour formation remain unclear. Here we show that mutant IDH blocks primary liver progenitor cells from undergoing hepatocyte differentiation through the production of 2HG and suppression of HNF4a, a master regulator of hepatocyte identity and quiescence. Correspondingly, genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs) expressing mutant IDH in the adult liver show aberrant response to hepatic injury, characterized by HNF4a silencing, impaired hepatocyte differentiation and markedly elevated levels of cell proliferation. Moreover, mutant IDH and activated Kras, genetic alterations that co-exist in a subset of human IHCCs, cooperate to drive the expansion of liver progenitor cells, development of premalignant biliary lesions, and progression to metastatic IHCC. These studies provide a functional link between IDH mutations, hepatic cell fate, and IHCC pathogenesis and present a novel GEMM of IDH-driven malignancy. Gene expression of HBs expressing IDH1 WT, IDH1 R132C, IDH2 WT, R172K and empty vector controls under a doxycycline-inducible system (N=2 cultures for each condition) grown on collagen-coated plates and IDH1 R132C and empty vector controls on uncoated plates were evaluated using Affymetrix Mouse 430Av2 DNA microarrays.
