Splicing modulation increases BCL2 dependence and sensitizes Multiple Myeloma cells to Venetoclax

ABSTRACT: Identification of novel vulnerabilities in the context of therapeutic resistance is emerging as key challenge for cancer treatment. Recent studies have detected pervasive aberrant splicing in cancer cells, supporting its targeting for treatment of hematological malignancies.We here evaluated the expression of several spliceosome machinery components in primary multiple myeloma (MM) cells and the impact of splicing modulations on MM cell growth and viability.Our comprehensive gene expression analysis confirmed deregulation of spliceosome machinery components in MM cells compared to normal plasma cells (PCs) from healthy donors, while pharmacological and genetic modulation of splicing confirmed significant impact on growth and survival of MM cell lines and patient-derived malignant PCs. Transcriptomic analysis revealed deregulation of BCL2 family membersincluding decrease of proapoptotic long form of myeloid cell leukemia-1 (MCL1) expression in cells treated with splicing inhibitors. This caused a shift in the apoptotic priming resulting in improved BCL2-dependenceand increased sensitivity to Venetoclax, a BCL2 small molecule inhibitor, in vitro and in vivo. Overall, our data provide a rationale for supporting clinical use of splicing modulators as strategy to reprogram apoptotic dependencies, making MM patients more vulnerable to BCL2 inhibitors.

HALTING THE NAD+-DEPENDENT DEACETYLASE SIRT6 UNVEILS SPLICEOSOME DEREGULATION AS EXPLOITABLE VULNERABILITY FOR AGGRESSIVE MYELOMA

Project description:Epigenetic defects play a major role in tumors, by promoting aggressiveness, drug resistance and disease progression. Targeting enzymes responsible for these changes holds promise but the knowledge-gap and lack of selective inhibitors severely hampers their clinical use. Recently, we found that Multiple Myeloma (MM) cells exhibit high level of NAD+-dependent deacetylase SIRT6 as an adaptive response to their intrinsic genomic instability. Here we focus on splicing-related events resulting as the most enriched pathways among MM patients with high SIRT6 levels. CoMMpass dataset analysis confirmed the prognostic role of SIRT6 in MM, with its presence correlating with poor outcome and aggressiveness. Transcriptome analysis of SIRT6-depleted MM cells indicated spliceosome perturbation as critical: chemical and genetic approaches resulted in enhanced anti-MM activity of spliceosome modulator Sudamycin D6 (SD6) thus supporting RNA splicing deregulation as vulnerability for these cells. Spliceosome is a therapeutic weakness for MYC-driven cancer, as such we found that while c-MYC oncogene loss shows resistance, its re-expression enhances efficacy of tested strategy. A direct role for SIRT6 on splicing factors genes was also demonstrated using ChIP-seq analyses. Overall, the dysregulated spliceosome activity triggered by epigenetic machinery blocking represents a novel therapeutic strategy for poor-prognosis subset of MM patients overexpressing c-MYC

A Defective Splicing Machinery Promotes Senescence through MDM4 Alternative Splicing

Project description:Defects in the splicing machinery have been implicated in various diseases, including cancer. We identified a general reduction in the expression spliceosome components and splicing regulators in human cell lines undergoing replicative, stress-induced and telomere uncapping-induced senescence. Supporting the notion that defective splicing contributes to senescence, we showed that the splicing inhibitors herboxidiene and pladienolide B induce senescence both in normal and cancer cell lines. Furthermore, the individual depletion of several spliceosome components also promoted senescence. We noted an alternative splicing shift in MDM4, from the full-length MDM4-FL variant to MDM4-S during replicative and stress-induced senescence. This shift was replicated by splicing inhibition and the depletion of individual spliceosome components. Importantly, decreasing the level of MDM4-FL promoted senescence, while cell survival was improved both by reducing the level of MDM4-FL and by overexpressing MDM4-S. Overall, our work establishes that defects in the splicing machinery alter the alternative splicing of MDM4 to promote senescence.

Phenotypic, transcriptomic and genomic characterization of clonal plasma cells in light chain amyloidosis [Copy number analysis]

Project description:Immunoglobulin light-chain amyloidosis (AL) is a rare clonal plasma cell (PC) disorder that remains largely incurable. AL and multiple myeloma (MM) share the same cellular origin, but while knowledge about MM PC biology has improved significantly, the same does not apply for AL. Here, we undertook an integrative phenotypic, molecular, and genomic approach to study clonal PCs from 22 newly-diagnosed AL patients. Through principal-component-analysis, we demonstrated highly overlapping phenotypic profiles between AL and MGUS or MM patients. However, in contrast to MM, highly-purified FACSs-sorted clonal PCs in AL (n=9/22) show virtually normal transcriptomes with only 68 deregulated genes as compared to normal PCs, including a few tumor suppressor (CDH1, RCAN) and pro-apoptotic (GLIPR1, FAS) genes. Notwithstanding, clonal PCs in AL (n=11/22) were genomically unstable with a median of 9 copy-number-abnormities (CNAs) per case; many of which similar to those found in MM. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed in three AL patients and revealed a median of 10 non-recurrent mutations per case. Altogether, we showed that although clonal PCs in AL display phenotypic and CNA profiles similar to MM, their transcriptome is remarkably similar to that of normal PCs. First-ever WES revealed the lack of a unifying mutation in AL

Modeling of the U1 snRNP assembly pathway in alternative splicing in human cells using Petri nets

Project description:The investigation of spliceosomal processes is currently a topic of intense research in molecular biology. In the molecular mechanism of alternative splicing, a multi-protein–RNA complex – the spliceosome – plays a crucial role. To understand the biological processes of alternative splicing, it is essential to comprehend the biogenesis of the spliceosome. In this paper, we propose the first abstract model of the regulatory assembly pathway of the human spliceosomal subunit U1. Using Petri nets, we describe its highly ordered assembly that takes place in a stepwise manner.

Competition between pre-mRNAs for a limiting splicing machinery drives global changes in splicing

Project description:During meiosis in yeast, global splicing efficiency increases. The mechanism for this is relief of competition for the splicing machinery by repression of intron-containing ribosomal protein genes (RPGs). Repression of RPGs with rapamycin also increases splicing efficiency in vegetative cells. Reducing levels of an RPG-dedicated transcription factor globally improves splicing and suppresses the temperature-sensitive growth defect of a spliceosome mutation. These results indicate that the spliceosome is limiting and pre-mRNAs compete with each other. Under these conditions, splicing efficiency of a given pre-mRNA therefore depends on both its concentration and affinity for the limiting splicing factor(s) as well as those of the competing pre-mRNAs. We propose that trans-competition control of splicing helps repress meiotic gene expression in vegetative cells, and promotes efficient meiosis. Competition between RNAs for a limiting factor may be a general condition important for function of a variety of post-transcriptional control mechanisms. Splicing and gene expression profiles of 1) wild type yeast cells treated with rapamycin (2 biological replicates) relative to untreated cells and 2) prp4-1 pGAL-IFH1 (down-regulated expression of IFH1 transcription factor(specific for ribosomal protein genes)) relative to prp4-1 yeast.

Oncogenic MYC induces a dependency on the spliceosome in human cancer

Project description:c-MYC (MYC) overexpression or hyperactivation is one of the most common drivers of human cancer. Despite intensive study, the MYC oncogene remains recalcitrant to therapeutic inhibition. Like other classic oncogenes, hyperactivation of MYC leads to collateral stresses onto cancer cells, suggesting that tumors harbor unique vulnerabilities arising from oncogenic activation of MYC. Herein, we discover the spliceosome as a new target of oncogenic stress in MYC-driven cancers. We identify BUD31 as a MYC-synthetic lethal gene, and demonstrate that BUD31 is a splicing factor required for the assembly and catalytic activity of the spliceosome. Core spliceosomal factors (SF3B1, U2AF1, and others) associate with BUD31 and are also required to tolerate oncogenic MYC. Notably, MYC hyperactivation induces an increase in total pre-mRNA synthesis, suggesting an increased burden on the core spliceosome to process pre-mRNA. In contrast to normal cells, partial inhibition of the spliceosome in MYC-hyperactivated cells leads to global intron retention, widespread defects in pre-mRNA maturation, and deregulation of many essential cell processes. Importantly, genetic or pharmacologic inhibition of the spliceosome in vivo impairs survival, tumorigenicity, and metastatic proclivity of MYC-dependent breast cancers. Collectively, these data suggest that oncogenic MYC confers a collateral stress on splicing and that components of the spliceosome may be therapeutic entry points for aggressive MYC-driven cancers.

The transcription factor IRF4 represses pro-apoptotic BMF and BIM to licence Multiple Myeloma survival

Project description:The transcription factor Interferon Regulatory Factor 4 (IRF4) is essential for the survival of the plasma cell malignancy multiple myeloma (MM), although the mechanism by which this is achieved remains unknown. Here we have explored the genetic basis for IRF4 addiction through CRISPR-Cas9 genetic ablation of IRF4 across several MM cells lines. We report that IRF4 loss uniformly resulted in the upregulation of two related pro-apoptotic proteins belonging to the BH3-only subgroup of the BCL2 family: BCL2 modifying factor (BMF) and BCL2 interacting mediator of cell death (BIM). Direct IRF4 binding was identified in the proximal promoter region of both genes. Remarkably, genetic ablation of BMF alone or in combination with BIM largely prevented the cell death that follows IRF4 inactivation, establishing that IRF4 maintains MM survival through the direct transcriptional repression of BMF and BIM.

Functional splicing network reveals extensive regulatory plasticity of the core Spliceosomal machinery

Project description:Pre-mRNA splicing relies on the still poorly understood dynamic interplay between more than 150 protein components of the Spliceosome, and the steps at which splicing can be regulated remain largely unknown. Here we systematically analyze the effect of knocking down the components of the splicing machinery on alternative splicing events relevant for cell proliferation and apoptosis and use this information to reconstruct a network of functional interactions. The network accurately captures well-established physical and functional associations and identifies new, revealing remarkable regulatory potential of core spliceosomal components, related to the order and duration of their recruitment during Spliceosome assembly. In contrast with standard models of regulation at early events of splice site recognition, factors involved in catalytic activation of the Spliceosome display regulatory properties. The network also sheds light on the antagonism between hnRNP C and U2AF and on targets of anti-tumor drugs, and can be widely used to identify mechanisms of splicing regulation. RNA from 3 biological replicates of 72 hours knockdowns of human IK or SMU1 and a control set were used. Changes between the control and knockdowns were measured based on using a splice-junction array (Affymetrix HJAY).

Proteasome inhibitor-induced modulation reveals the spliceosome as a specific therapeutic vulnerability in multiple myeloma

Project description:Resistance to proteasome inhibitors (PIs) is a ubiquitous clinical concern in multiple myeloma (MM). We proposed that signaling-level responses after PI would reveal new means to enhance efficacy. Unbiased phosphoproteomics after the PI carfilzomib surprisingly demonstrated the most prominent phosphorylation changes on spliceosome components. Spliceosome modulation was invisible to RNA or protein abundance alone. Transcriptome analysis demonstrated broad-scale intron retention suggestive of PI-specific splicing interference. Direct spliceosome inhibition synergized with carfilzomib and showed potent anti-myeloma activity. Functional genomics and exome sequencing further supported the spliceosome as a specific vulnerabilityin myeloma. Our results propose splicing interference as an unrecognized modality of PI mechanism, reveal additional modes of spliceosome modulation, and suggest spliceosome targeting as a promising therapeutic strategy in myeloma.
