ABSTRACT: Using ATAC-seq we examined changes in chromatin accessibility following MLL-AF9 degradation in MLL-AF9-HA-FKBP12 transformed hCD34+ cells (HCB1) after 180 minutes.
Project description:Using PRO-seq we examined nascent transcriptional changes and RNA Pol II pausing following MLL-AF9 degradation in MLL-AF9-HA-FKBP12 transformed hCD34+ cells (HCB1) after 15, 30, and 180 minutes
Project description:Using SLAM-seq we examined the nascent transcriptional changes following MLL-AF9 degradation in MLL-AF9-HA-FKBP12 transformed hCD34+ cells (HCB1) after 15, 30, 60, and 120 minutes
Project description:Using ChIP-seq we examined the occupancy changes of various histone marks and chromatin-bound proteins following accute MLL-AF9 degradation in MLL-AF9-HA-FKPB12 transformed human (HCB1) cells. We also examined occupancy changes of various chromatin-bound proteins in human MLL-AF9-HA-FKBP12 transformed cells (HCB1) and MOLM13 cells in response to DOT1L inhibition, Menin-MLL inhibition, and the combination of DOT1L and Menin-MLL inhibition.
Project description:Using RNA-seq we examined the transcriptional changes following MLL-AF9 degradation in MLL-AF9-HA-FKPB12 transformed murine (BM2222) and human (HCB1) cells. We also examined transcriptional changes in human MLL-AF9-HA-FKBP12 transformed cells (HCB1) and MOLM13 cells in response to DOT1L inhibition, Menin-MLL inhibition, and the combination of DOT1L and Menin-MLL inhibition. Lastly we assessed gene expression in murine neutrophils isolated directly from mice.
Project description:Gene expression upon DOT1L inhibition, or Menin inhibition, or a combination of DOT1L and Menin inhibiting agents, was assessed in several MLL-rearranged human cell lines and a mouse model of MLL-AF9 leukemia. The goal of the study was to explore the mechanisms by which the EPZ0004777 and MI-2-2 chemicals collaborate to induce differentiation and cell death in MLL-AF4 and MLL-AF9 leukemias.
Project description:The MLL gene is a common target of chromosomal translocations found in human leukemia. MLL-fusion leukemias are consistently poor prognosis. One of the most common translocation partners is AF9 (a.k.a. MLLT3). MLL-AF9 recruits DOT1L, a histone 3 lysine 79 methyltransferase (H3K79me1/me2/me3), leading to aberrant gene transcription. We show that DOT1L has three AF9 binding sites, and present the NMR solution structure of a DOT1L-AF9 complex. We generated structure-guided point mutations with graded effects on recruitment of DOT1L to MLL-AF9. ChIP-Seq analyses of H3K79me2 and H3K79me3 show that graded reduction of the DOT1L interaction with MLL-AF9 results in selective losses in H3K79me2 and me3 marks at MLL-AF9 target genes. Furthermore, the degree of DOT1L recruitment defines the level of MLL-AF9 hematopoietic transformation. Hematopoietic progenitor cells isolated from mouse bone marrow were transduced with retrovirus expressing either wildtype MLL-AF9 (WT), mutants, MLL-AF9 (D544R) and MLL-AF9 (D546R). ChIP-Seq analyses were performed on these wildtype and mutant cells using H3K79me2 and H3K79me3 antibodies. 3 samples corresponding to ChIP-Seq with H3K79me2 antibody: 1) MLL-AF9 (WT) 2) MLL-AF9 (D544R) 3) MLL-AF9 (D546R) 3 Samples Corresponding to ChIP-Seq with H3K79me3 antibody: 4) MLL-AF9 (WT) 5) MLL-AF9 (D544R) 6) MLL-AF9 (D546R)

Project description:MLL-fusions may induce leukemogenic gene expression programs by recruiting the histone H3K79 methyltransferase to MLL-target promoters. We evaluated gene expression changes after cre-mediated loss of Dot1l in leukemia cells obtained from mice injected with MLL-9 transformed lineage negative bone marrow cells. MLL-AF9 murine leukemia cells carrying two conditional Dot1l alleles were retrovirally transduced with Cre or empty control vector, and gene expression changes were monitored on day 3, 5, and 7 after transduction.
