Cohesin mutations alter DNA damage repair and chromatin structure and create therapeutic vulnerabilities in MDS/AML

ABSTRACT: The cohesin complex plays an essential role in chromosome maintenance and transcriptional regulation. Recurrent somatic mutations in the cohesin complex are frequent genetic drivers in cancer including myelodysplatic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Here, using genetic dependency screens of STAG2-mutant AML, we identified DNA damage repair and replication as genetic dependencies in cohesin-mutant cells. We demonstrated increased levels of DNA damage and sensitivity of cohesin-mutant cells to PARP inhibition. We developed a mouse model of MDS in which Stag2 mutations arise as clonal secondary lesions in the background of clonal hematopoiesis driven by Tet2 mutations, and demonstrated selective depletion of cohesin-mutant cells with PARP inhibition in vivo. Finally, we demonstrated a shift from STAG2- to STAG1-containing cohesin complexes in cohesin-mutant cells, which is associated with longer DNA loop extrusion, more intermixing of chromatin compartments, and increased interaction with PARP and RPA proteins. Our findings inform the biology and therapeutic opportunities for cohesin-mutant malignancies.

STAG2 mutations in leukemia alter cohesin ring function, DNA damage repair, and splicing

Project description:Genome compartmentalization mediated by the cohesin complex plays an essential role in the maintenance of genome integrity and transcriptional regulation. Recurrent somatic mutations in multiple members of the cohesin complex are frequent genetic drivers in several types of cancer, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), but the cellular consequences of cohesin mutations have not been determined and no therapies have been identified with selective efficacy in cohesin-mutant cancers. Using quantitative proteomics and genome-wide genetic screens in genetically engineered models of STAG2-mutant AML, we identify changes in cohesin complex composition and dependency on STAG1, DNA damage repair, master transcription factors, and RNA splicing machinery. Consistent with these findings, loss of STAG2 leads to DNA replication fork stalling and is associated with increased levels of dsDNA breaks and activation of DNA damage checkpoints, as well as aberrant splicing. Genetic or pharmacologic perturbation of DNA damage repair or splicing creates a synthetic vulnerability for cohesin-mutant cells in vitro and in vivo. Finally, STAG2 loss leads to a global reduction in cohesin binding to chromatin and expansion of super-enhancers, and mutant cohesin complexes spatially co-localize with super-enhancer enriched factors, DNA damage and splicing machinery. Our findings inform the biology of cohesins in cancer cells, and highlight novel therapeutic possibilities for cohesin-mutant malignancies.

Combined Cohesin-Runx1 Deficiency Synergistically Perturbs Chromatin Looping and Causes Myelodysplastic Syndromes [RNA-seq]

Project description:STAG2 encodes a cohesin component and is frequently mutated in myeloid neoplasms, showing highly significant co-mutation patterns with other drivers, including RUNX1. However, the molecular basis of cohesin-mutated leukemogenesis remains poorly understood. Here we show a critical role of an interplay between Stag2 and Runx1 in the regulation of enhancer-promoter looping and transcription in hematopoiesis. Combined loss of Stag2 and Runx1, which co-localize at enhancer-rich, Ctcf-deficient sites, synergistically attenuates enhancer-promoter loops, particularly at sites enriched for RNA polymerase II and Mediator, and deregulates gene expression, leading to myeloid-skewed expansion of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Attenuated enhancer-promoter loops in Stag2/Runx1-deficient cells are associated with downregulation of genes with high basal transcriptional pausing, which are important for the regulation of HSPCs.　Down-regulation of high-pausing genes is also confirmed in STAG2/cohesin-mutated primary AML/MDS samples. Our results highlight a unique STAG2/RUNX1 interplay in gene regulation and provide insights into cohesin-mutated leukemogenesis.

STAG2 Mutations Reshape the Cohesin-Structured Spatial Chromatin Architecture to Drive Gene Regulation in Acute myeloid Leukemia [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Cohesin shapes the chromatin architecture, including enhancer-promoter interactions. Its components, especially STAG2 but not its paralogue STAG1, are frequently mutated in myeloid malignancies. To elucidate the underlying mechanisms of leukemogenesis, we comprehensively characterized genetic, epigenetic, transcriptional, and chromatin conformational changes in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patient samples. Specific loci displayed altered cohesin occupancy, gene expression and local chromatin activation which were not compensated by STAG1. These changes could be linked to disrupted spatial chromatin looping in cohesin-mutated AMLs. We performed complementary depletion of STAG2 or STAG1 in primary human hematopoietic progenitors (HSPCs). We detected effects overlapping STAG2-mutant AML-specific changes following STAG2 knockdown, not invoked by depletion of STAG1. STAG2-deficient HSPCs displayed impaired differentiation capacity and maintained HSPC-like gene expression. This work establishes STAG2 as a key regulator of chromatin contacts, gene expression and differentiation in the hematopoietic system and identifies candidate target genes that may be implicated in human leukemogenesis.
