Project description:RARA haploinsufficiency is an invariable consequence of t(15;17) reciprocal translocations in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Furthermore, retinoids and RARA activity have been implicated in hematopoietic self-renewal, lineage commitment and neutrophil maturation. We and others therefore predicted that RARA haploinsufficiency would contribute to APL pathogenesis. To test this hypothesis we crossed RARA+/- mice with mice expressing PML-RARA from the Cathepsin G locus (mCG-PR). We found that RARA haploinsufficiency cooperated with PML-RARA, only modestly influencing the pre-leukemic and leukemic phenotype. Bone marrow from mCG-PR+/- x RARA+/- mice had decreased numbers of mature myeloid cells, increased ex vivo myeloid cell proliferation and an increased competitive advantage following transplantation. RARA haploinsufficiency did not alter mCG-PR dependent leukemic latency or penetrance, but did influence the distribution of leukemic cells; mCG-PR+/- x RARA+/- mice presented more commonly with low to normal white blood cell counts and with myeloid infiltration of lymph nodes. APL arising in these mice was responsive to ATRA, and had virtually no differences in expression profiling compared to tumors arising in mCG-PR+/- x RARA+/+ mice. These phenotypes were dependent on PML-RARA activity, since they were not detected in RARA+/- mice in the absence of the mCG-PR transgene. These data show that RARA haploinsufficiency (like PML haploinsufficiency and RARA-PML) can cooperate with PML-RARA to influence the pathogenesis and phenotype of APL in mice, but that PML-RARA is the driver of t(15;17) APL. RARA+/- mice were crossed with mice expressing PML-RARA from Cathepsin G locus (mCG-PR). Five leukemic mice were chosen from each of the mCG-PR+/-RARA+/- and mCG-PR+/-RARA+/+ strains and total RNA extracted from the spleen samples were analyzed using Affymetrics Mouse Exon 1.0 platform

Project description:Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is associated with PML-RARA expression and late myeloid maturation arrest. The myeloid restriction of PML-RARA dependent leukemia has been recapitulated in multiple mouse models of APL, including PML-RARA expressed from the Ctsg locus (mCG-PR). However, we report here that Ctsg expression is not limited to promyelocytes (as had previously been thought); Ctsg RNA is detectable in KLS cells, and mCG-PR mice express PML-RARA within the same compartment, an event that alters multilineage hematopoiesis. However, these animals only develop myeloid leukemia (consistent with the myeloid restriction of human PML-RARA-associated leukemia). Our results suggest that APL is shaped by myeloid- and development-specific factors that define the ultimate leukemic phenotype rather than PML-RARA acting in a committed myeloid precursor.

Bone marrow from individual mice expressing PML-RARA from the murine Ctg locus (mCG-PR) and littermate controls was harvested from both femurs and tibia. Standard cell lysis was performed and total RNA was extracted from the flow sorted KLS and SLAM cells. A total of 13 specimens including 3 x mCG-PR_KLS_6wks, 2 x mCG-PR_KLS_13wks,2 x mCG-PR_SLAM_7wks, 4 x WT_KLS_12-13wks (control) and 2 x WT_SLAM_6wks (control) were analyzed using Affymetrics Mouse Exon 1.0 ST platform.

Project description:Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) is a fatal subtype of leukemia driven by the translocation between genes encoding the Promyelocytic Leukemia (PML) protein and the Retinoic Acid Receptor alpha (RARa) protein. We use mouse hematopoietic progenitor cells expressing PML-RARa and dissect the dynamic changes in the epigenome, transcriptome and genome architecture triggered by the expression of this oncogenic transcription factor during leukemic transformation. We find that PML-RARa induces a continuum of topologic and transcriptional alterations, mostly affecting distal regulatory elements. Furthermore, we identify Klf4 ― a master regulator of hematopoietic differentiation ― as an early mis-regulated gene during leukemogenesis, and deconstruct the dynamic alterations in long-range interactions, histone modifications and transcriptional output triggered by PML-RARa expression at the Klf4 locus. Our study provides a comprehensive overview of the dynamic genomic and transcriptomic alterations induced by PML-RARa, which ultimately block hematopoietic differentiation and induce leukemic transformation.

Project description:Because PML-RARA-positive acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a morphologically differentiated leukemia, much speculation has been made about whether its leukemic cell of origin might be committed myeloid precursor (e.g., a promyelocyte) vs. a hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell (HSPC). We originally targeted PML-RARA expression with CTSG regulatory elements, based on the early observation that this gene was maximally expressed in cells with promyelocyte morphology. Here, we show that both Ctsg and PML-RARA targeted to the Ctsg locus (in Ctsg-PML-RARA mice) are detected in the purified KLS cells of these mice (Kit+Lin-Sca+ cells, which are highly enriched for HSPCs), and this expression results in biological effects in multi-lineage competitive repopulation assays. Although PML-RARA is indeed expressed at high levels in the promyelocytes of Ctsg-PML-RARA mice, it does not significantly alter the transcriptional signature of these cells, or induce their self-renewal. In sum, these results suggest that in murine models, PML-RARA acts primarily to affect the function of multi-potent progenitor cells, rather than promyelocytes. Since PML/Pml is normally expressed in the HSPCs of both humans and mice, and since some human APL samples contain TCR rearrangements and express T lineage genes, we suggest that the very early hematopoietic expression of PML-RARA in our mouse model may closely mimic the physiologic expression pattern of PML-RARA in human APL patients. Bone marrow from individual mice expressing PML-RARA from the murine Ctg locus (mCG-PR) and littermate controls was harvested from both femurs and tibia. Standard cell lysis was performed, and total RNA was extracted from the cells and analyzed using the Affymetrix Mouse Exon 1.0 ST platform.

Project description:Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a distinct subtype of acute myeloid leukemia, that is generally driven by PML-RARA, resulting from a balanced chromosomal translocation t(15;17) (q24.1;q21.2). However, approximately 2% of APL patients carry other variants of RARA-fusions, which pose challenges for diagnosis and treatment. Here, we report a novel t(14;17) translocation in an APL patient that gave rise to a new fusion gene, STRN3-RARA. STRN3 forms a complex called the striatin-interacting phosphatase and kinase (STRIPAK), which couples kinases to protein phosphatase 2A and regulates their activities. Like other APL patients with RARA-variants, this patient quickly relapsed after the initial response to all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) treatment. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that STRN3-RARA, in cooperating with UTX deficiency, which was mutated in the patient, drove APL formation in mice. Additionally, we found that STRN3-RARA cells were specifically susceptible to the TNFα pathway. Inhibition of this pathway by cepharanthine, an FDA-approved drug, effectively suppressed the growth of U937 cells with STRN3-RARA expression, as well as relapsed APL cells from the patient. Taken together, our study identified a new APL fusion gene, STRN3-RARA, and validated it as a functional APL driver, providing insight into the diagnosis and treatment of non-classic APL patients.
