Project description:Mutations within genes encoding spliceosomal proteins are the most common class of mutations in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes, yet it is currently not well understood how these mutations impact hematopoiesis or RNA splicing. Here we report that mutations affecting the splicing factor SRSF2 alter its normal RNA recognition activity, resulting in impaired hematopoietic differentiation and myelodysplasia. Commonly occurring SRSF2 mutations impaired wildtype SRSF2’s normal RNA-binding avidity and preference for specific exonic splicing enhancer RNA motifs. Integration of murine and human transcriptome data identified recurrent mis-splicing of key transcriptional regulators in the presence of mutant SRSF2, including promotion of a highly conserved “poison” exon of EZH2 that results in nonsense-mediated decay and contributes to impaired hematopoiesis. These data provide a mechanistic basis for the enrichment of specific mutations in spliceosomal proteins in myelodysplasia, and suggest that altered RNA recognition activity is a novel mechanism of leukemogenesis. mRNA profiles of murine model and K562 cells expressing SRSF2 WT, mutants and knockdown of SRSF2 in TF-1 cells generated by deep sequencing.

Project description:Recurrent Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) phosphorylates multiple splicing factors, including SRSF2, and regulates the splicing of a broad range of mRNAs in human cells. Inhibition of GSK-3 disrupts splicing and promotes cell death in hematopoietic cells with heterozygous mutations in SRSF2 and not in cells with wild-type splicing factors. To characterize how GSK-3 inhibition alters the cellular proteome in SRSF2-P95H/+ cells, we have performed quantitative mass spectrometry (qMS) on K562 cells with SRSF2P95H/+ knocked into the endogenous locus (PMID 30799057) and parental K562 cells, treated with the GSK-3 inhibitor CHIR99021. We focused on the mitochondrial proteome using human proteome (UniprotKB) and mitochondrial (MitoCarta 3.0) databases for protein identification, identifying 163 mitochondrial proteins whose levels are affected by SRSF2 mutation.

Project description:SRSF2 is an RNA binding protein that plays important roles in splicing of mRNA precursors. Mutations in SRSF2 are frequently found in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes and certain leukemias, but how they affect SRSF2 function has only begun to be examined. Here we used CRISPR/Cas9 to introduce the P95H mutation to SRSF2 in K562 leukemia cells, generating an isogenic model so that splicing alterations can be attributed solely to mutant SRSF2. We found that SRSF2 (P95H) misregulates 548 splicing events (<1% of total). Of these, 374 involve the inclusion of cassette exons, and the inclusion was either increased (206) or decreased (168). We detected a specific motif (UCCA/UG) enriched in the more included exons and a distinct motif (UGGA/UG) in the more excluded exons. RNA gel shift assays showed that a mutant SRSF2 derivative bound more tightly than its wild-type counterpart to RNA sites containing UCCAG, but less tightly to UGGAG sites. The pattern of exon inclusion or exclusion thus correlated in most cases with stronger or weaker RNA binding, respectively. We further show that the P95H mutation does not affect other functions of SRSF2, i.e., protein-protein interactions with key splicing factors. Our results thus demonstrate that the P95H mutation positively or negatively alters the binding affinity of SRSF2 for cognate RNA sites in target transcripts, leading to misregulation of exon inclusion. Our findings not only shed light on the mechanism of the disease-associated SRSF2 mutation in splicing regulation, but also reveal a group of mis-spliced mRNA isoforms for potential therapeutic targeting.

Project description:Serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 2 (SRSF2), also known as SC35, is a member of a SRs protein family, which plays significant roles in numerous fundamental biological activities. However, the roles and underlying mechanisms of SRSF2 remain largely unclear during spermatogenesis. Here, we report that SRSF2 is involved in alternative splicing and that male germ cell-specific deletion of Srsf2 by Stra8-GFPCre causes absolute infertility and defective spermatogenesis. Further analyses revealed that deletion of Srsf2 in the male germ cells had harmful influences on the differentiation of spermatogonia and meiosis initiation. Mechanistically, by combining RNA-seq data with LACE-seq data, we showed that spermatogenesis, meiotic cell cycle, male gamete generation, reproductive development, and male sex differentiation were involved in the SRSF2 regulatory networks. Furthermore, SRSF2 affects expression and AS of Stra8, Stag3 and Atr in a direct manner, which were critical factors during spermatogenesis. Taken together, our results demonstrate that SRSF2 has important functions in spermatogenesis and male fertility by regulating alternative splicing.

Project description:We report the biological function of Srsf2 in hematopoiesis in conditional knockout mouse models. Ablation of Srsf2 in the hematopoietic lineage caused embryonic lethality, and Srsf2-deficient fetal liver cells showed significantly enhanced apoptosis and decreased hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. Induced ablation of Srsf2 in adult Mx1Cre/ Srsf2flox/flox mice upon polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid injection demonstrated a significant decrease in lineage-/Sca+/cKit+ cells in bone marrow. To reveal the functional impact of MDS-associated mutations in SRSF2, we profiled global splicing responses on an MDS-L cell line using RASL-seq, and found that the P95H missense mutation and P95 to R102 in-frame 8 amino-acid deletion caused significant changes in alternative splicing. The affected genes were enriched in cancer development and apoptosis. These findings suggest that intact Srsf2 is essential for the functional integrity of the hematopoietic system, and its mutations are likely key driver events to MDS. MDS-L cells (in triplicate) were transfected by srsf2 shRNA only, or pTRIPZ vectors containing both srsf2 shRNA and srsf2 mutants cDNA including P95H and P95 8 amino acid deletion as well as wild-type construct, followed by Dox induction. Total RNAs were extracted and been analyzed by RASL-seq.

Project description:Mutations in RNA splicing factors are prevalent across cancers and generate recurrently mis-spliced mRNA isoforms. Here we identified a series of bona fide neoantigens translated from highly stereotyped splicing alterations promoted by neomorphic, leukemia-associated somatic mutations in the splicing machinery. We utilized feature-barcoded peptide-MHC dextramers to isolate neoantigen-specific T cell receptors (TCR) from both healthy donors and patients with leukemia. While circulating neoantigen-specific CD8+ T cells were identified in patients with active disease, they were dysfunctional with reduced inflammatory response gene signatures. In contrast, donor CD8+ T cells with tumor-reactive TCRs were present following curative allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant. T cells engineered with TCRs recognizing an SRSF2 mutant-induced neoantigen in CLK3 resulted in specific recognition and cytotoxicity of SRSF2 mutant leukemia. These data identify RNA mis-splicing derived neoantigens and neoantigen-specific TCRs across patients and provide proof-of-concept to genetically redirect T cells to public mis-splicing derived neoantigens in myeloid leukemias.

Project description:Previous studies demonstrated that splicing factor mutations are recurrent events in hematopoietic malignancies with both clinical and functional implications. However, their aberrant splicing patterns in acute myeloid leukemia remain largely unexplored. In this study we characterized mutations in SRSF2, U2AF1 and SF3B1, the most commonly mutated splicing factors. In our clinical analysis of 2678 patients, splicing factor mutations showed inferior relapse-free and overall survival, however, these mutations did not represent independent prognostic markers. RNA-sequencing of 246 and independent validation in 177 patients revealed an isoform expression profile highly characteristic for each individual mutation, with several isoforms showing a strong dysregulation. By establishing a custom differential splice junction usage pipeline, we accurately detected aberrant splicing in splicing factor mutated samples. A large proportion of differentially used junctions were novel, including several junctions in leukemia associated genes. In SRSF2(P95H) mutants we further explored the possibility of a cascading effect through the dysregulation of the splicing pathway. Furthermore, we observed a validated impact on overall survival for two junctions overused in SRSF2(P95H) mutants. We conclude that splicing factor mutations do not represent independent prognostic markers. However, they do have genome-wide consequences on gene splicing leading to dysregulated isoform expression of several genes
