Whole-genome CRISPR screening identifies N-glycosylation as an essential pathway and a potential novel therapeutic target in CALR-mutant MPN (Whole Genome CRISPR Screen).

ABSTRACT: Calreticulin (CALR) mutations are frequent, disease-initiating events in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). Although the biological mechanism by which CALR mutations cause MPN has been elucidated, there currently are no clonally selective therapies for CALR-mutant MPN. To identify unique genetic dependencies in CALR-mutant MPN, we performed a whole-genome CRISPR knockout depletion screen in mutant CALR-transformed hematopoietic cells. We found that genes in the N-glycosylation pathway (amongst others) were differentially depleted in mutant CALR-transformed cells as compared with control cells. Using a focused pharmacological screen targeting unique vulnerabilities uncovered in the CRISPR screen, we found that chemical inhibition of N-glycosylation impaired the growth of mutant CALR-transformed cells in vitro. We treated Calr-mutant knockin mice with the N-glycosylation inhibitor, 2-deoxy-glucose (2-DG), and found a preferential sensitivity of Calr-mutant cells to 2-DG as compared to wild-type cells, and a normalization of key MPN disease features. These findings advance the development of clonally selective treatments for CALR-mutant MPN.

Physical interaction between mutant calreticulin and the thrombopoietin receptor is required for transformation of hematopoietic cells

Project description:Somatic mutations in calreticulin (CALR) are present in approximately 40% of patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). However, the mechanism by which mutant CALR is oncogenic is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that a megakaryocytic-specific MPN phenotype is induced when mutant CALR is over-expressed in mice and that the thrombopoietin receptor, MPL is required for mutant CALR driven transformation. Whole transcriptome analysis reveals enrichment of STAT signatures in mutant CALR transformed cells and JAK2 inhibitor treatment abrogates STAT activation. Employing extensive mutagenesis-based structure-function analysis we demonstrate that the positively charged amino acids within the mutant CALR C-terminus are required for cellular transformation through facilitating physical interaction between mutant CALR and MPL. Together, our findings elucidate a novel mechanism of cancer pathogenesis.

CALR-mutated cells are vulnerable to combined inhibition of the proteasome and the endoplasmic reticulum stress response

Project description:Cancer is driven by somatic mutations that provide a fitness advantage. While targeted therapies often focus on the mutated gene or its direct downstream effectors, imbalances brought on by cell-state alterations may also confer unique vulnerabilities. In myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), somatic mutations in the calreticulin (CALR) gene are disease-initiating through aberrant binding of mutant CALR to the thrombopoietin receptor MPL and ligand-independent activation of JAK-STAT signaling. Despite these mechanistic insights into the pathogenesis of CALR-mutant MPN, there are currently no mutant CALR-selective therapies available. Here, we identified differential upregulation of unfolded and ubiquitinylated proteins, the proteasome and the ER stress response in CALR-mutant hematopoietic stem cells and megakaryocyte progenitors. We further found that combined pharmacological inhibition of the proteasome and IRE1-XBP1 axis of the ER stress response preferentially targets Calr-mutated stem and progenitors over wild-type cells in vivo, resulting in an amelioration in the MPN phenotype. Together, these findings leverage loss of proteostasis in Calr-mutant MPN to identify combinatorial dependencies that may be targeted for therapeutic benefit.

Integrated genomic analysis illustrates the central role of JAK-STAT pathway activation in myeloproliferative neoplasm pathogenesis [HEL cell lines]

Project description:We used expression profiling, SNP arrays, and mutational profiling to investigate a well-characterized cohort of MPN patients. MPN patients with homozygous JAK2V617F mutations were characterized by a distinctive transcriptional profile. Notably, a transcriptional signature consistent with activated JAK2 signaling is seen in all MPN patients regardless of clinical phenotype or mutational status. In addition, the activated JAK2 signature was present in patients with somatic CALR mutations. Conversely, we identified a gene expression signature of CALR mutations; this signature was significantly enriched in JAK2-mutant MPN patients consistent with a shared mechanism of transformation by JAK2 and CALR mutations. We also identified a transcriptional signature of TET2 mutations in MPN patent samples. Our data indicate that MPN patients, regardless of diagnosis or JAK mutational status are characterized by a distinct gene expression signature with upregulation of JAK-STAT target genes, demonstrating the central importance of the JAK-STAT pathway in MPN pathogenesis. [HEL cell lines] We have performed gene expression profiling in the JAK2V617F homozygous mutant HEL cell line following treatment with 2 independent shRNAs targeting JAK2 or 2 different control shRNAs

Targeting the CALR Interactome in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

Project description:Mutations in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperone calreticulin (CALR) are common in myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) patients, activate the thrombopoietin receptor (MPL), and mediate constitutive JAK/STAT signaling. The mechanisms by which CALR mutations cause myeloid transformation are incompletely defined. We employed mass spectrometry proteomics to identify novel CALR-mutant interacting proteins. Mutant CALR caused mislocalization of binding partners and increased recruitment of FLI1, ERP57 and CALR to the MPL promoter to enhance transcription. CALR 52 mutant was also found to increase genome-wide recruitment of Fli1 to the chromatin. Overall, these results show that type 1 CALR mutant modulates Fli1 cellular localization and recruitment.

JAK2V617F but not CALR mutations confer increased molecular responses to interferon-alpha via JAK1/STAT1 activation

Project description:Pegylated interferon-alpha (peg-IFNa) treatment induces molecular remissions (MR) in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), including partial MR (PMR) in 30-40% of patients. Here, we compared the efficacy of IFNa treatment in JAK2V617F vs. CALR-mutated cells and investigated the mechanisms of differential response. Retrospective analysis of MPN patients treated with peg-IFNa demonstrated that patients harboring the JAK2V617F mutation were more likely to achieve PMR than those with mutated CALR (p=0.004), while there was no significant difference in hematological response. In vitro experiments confirmed an upregulation of interferon-stimulated genes in JAK2V617F-positive 32D cells compared to their CALR-mutated counterparts, and higher IFNa doses were needed to achieve the same IFNa response in CALR- as in JAK2V617F mutant 32D cells.
