Automated CUT&Tag profiling of chromatin heterogeneity in mixed-lineage leukemia

ABSTRACT: Acute myeloid and lymphoid leukemias often harbor chromosomal translocations involving the Mixed Lineage Leukemia-1 gene, which encodes the KMT2A lysine methyltransferase. The most common translocations produce in-frame fusions of KMT2A to trans-activation domains of chromatin regulatory proteins. Here we develop a strategy to map the genome-wide occupancy of oncogenic KMT2A fusion proteins in primary patient samples regardless of fusion partner. By modifying the versatile CUT&Tag method for full automation we identify common and tumor-specific patterns of aberrant chromatin regulation induced by different KMT2A fusion proteins. Integration of automated and single-cell CUT&Tag uncovers lineage heterogeneity within patient samples and provides an attractive avenue for future diagnostics.

Non-Canonical PRC1.1 is required for the activity of Menin-MLL1 Inhibitors in NUP98-Rearranged AML [SLAM-Seq]

Project description:Translocations involving the Nucleoporin 98 (NUP98) gene predict a poor prognosis for patients with acute myeloid leukemia. These translocations generate NUP98-fusion proteins which interact with the mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL1/KMT2A) chromatin modifying enzyme and its binding partner Menin. The mechanisms by which the NUP98-fusion proteins maintain gene expression remain unclear. We demonstrate that the NUP98-fusion-Menin-KMT2A complex is essential for maintenance of H3K27Ac and active transcription at key loci such as Meis1 and the Hox cluster, among others. However, eviction of the complex from chromatin is insufficient to completely silence gene expression. Accumulation of the PRC1.1 complex and deposition of H2aK119Ub and H3K27Me3 is required to transition to a transcriptionally repressive chromatin state. Furthermore, we demonstrate that loss of PRC1.1 function leads to resistance to small molecule Menin inhibitors. Therefore, a critical function of the NUP98-fusion-Menin-KMT2A complex is to antagonize repressive chromatin complexes. These same mechanisms are critical for efficacy of newly developed therapeutics.

KMT2A oncoproteins induce epigenetic resistance to targeted therapies.

Project description:Chromosomal translocations involving the Lysine-Methyl-Tansferase-2A (KMT2A) locus generate potent oncogenes that cause highly aggressive acute leukemias KMT2A and the most frequent translocation partners encode proteins that interact with DNA to regulate developmental gene expression. KMT2A-oncogenic fusion proteins (oncoproteins) contribute to the epigenetic mechanisms that allow KMT2A-rearranged leukemias to evade targeted therapies. By profiling the oncoprotein-target sites of 34 KMT2A-rearranged leukemia samples, we find that the genomic enrichment of oncoprotein binding is highly variable between samples. At high levels of expression, the oncoproteins preferentially activate either the lymphoid or myeloid lineage program depending on the fusion partner. These fusion-partner-dependent binding sites correspond to the frequencies of each mutation in acute lymphoid leukemia versus acute myeloid leukemia. By profiling a sample that underwent a lymphoid-to-myeloid lineage switching event in response to lymphoid-directed treatment, we find the global oncoprotein levels are reduced and the oncoprotein-target gene network changes. At lower levels of expression, the oncoprotein shifts to a non-canonical regulatory program that favors the myeloid lineage, and in a subset of resistant patients, the Menin inhibitor Revumenib induces a similar response. The dynamic shifts in KMT2A oncoproteins we describe likely contribute to epigenetic resistance of KMT2A-rearranged leukemias to targeted therapies.

Automated in situ profiling of chromatin modifications resolves cell types and gene regulatory programs

Project description:Our understanding of eukaryotic gene regulation is limited by the complexity of protein-DNA interactions that comprise the chromatin landscape and inefficient methods for characterizing these interactions. We recently introduced CUT&RUN, an antibody-targeted method that profiles DNA-binding proteins, histones and chromatin modifying proteins with high sensitivity and resolution. Here we describe an automated CUT&RUN platform and apply it to profile the chromatin landscapes of human cell lines. We develop a metric to quantitatively compare chromatin features between cell types and identify their distinctive gene expression programs. Finally, we use this method to identify gene expression features of two different pediatric diffuse midline gliomas using frozen tissue from patient-derived xenografts. Our easy, cost-effective workflow makes automated CUT&RUN an attractive tool for high-throughput characterization of cell types and patient samples.

A KMT2A-AFF1 gene regulatory network highlights the role of core transcription factors and reveals the regulatory logic of key downstream target genes [CRISPR sgRNA screen]

Project description:Regulatory interactions mediated by transcription factors (TFs) make up complex networks that control cellular behavior. Fully understanding these gene regulatory networks (GRNs) offers greater insight into the consequences of disease-causing perturbations than can be achieved by studying single TF binding events in isolation. Chromosomal translocations of the lysine methyltransferase 2A (KMT2A) produce KMT2A fusion proteins such as KMT2A-AFF1 (also known as MLL-AF4), causing poor prognosis acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALLs) that sometimes relapse as acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs). KMT2A-AFF1 is thought to drive leukemogenesis through direct binding and inducing aberrant overexpression of key gene targets, such as the anti-apoptotic factor BCL2 and the proto-oncogene MYC. However, studying direct binding alone doesn’t allow for network generated regulatory outputs, including the indirect induction of gene repression. To better understand the KMT2A-AFF1 driven regulatory landscape, we integrated ChIP-seq, patient RNA-seq and CRISPR essentiality screens to generate a model GRN. This GRN identified several key transcription factors, including RUNX1, that regulate target genes downstream of KMT2A-AFF1 using feed-forward loop (FFL) and cascade motifs. A core set of nodes are present in both ALL and AML, and CRISPR screening revealed several factors that help mediate response to the drug venetoclax. Using our GRN, we then identified an KMT2A-AFF1:RUNX1 cascade that represses CASP9, as well as KMT2A-AFF1 driven FFLs that regulate BCL2 and MYC through combinatorial TF activity. This illustrates how our GRN can be used to better connect KMT2A-AFF1 behavior to downstream pathways that contribute to leukemogenesis, and potentially predict shifts in gene expression that mediate drug response.
