UTX Loss Alters Therapeutic Responses in KMT2A-rearranged Acute Myeloid Leukemia [ChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: Acute myeloid leukemias (AML) patients bearing chromosomal rearrangements of KMT2A or MLL gene (KMT2A -r) have poor overall survival. Recently, compounds targeting the KMT2A fusion protein complex, such as DOT1L and Menin inhibitors, have shown promising pre-clinical efficacy. Yet, molecular regulators of the anti-tumor activities of these agents remain poorly studied. UTX is a histone H3K27 demethylase with recurrent loss-of-function mutations in human cancers including leukemia. UTX-null leukemia shows greater resistance to chemotherapy agents. However, the impact of UTX on drug resistance of KMT2A -r AML has not been explored. Through a epigenetic compound screen, we identified a unique role of UTX in the regulation of DOT1L and Menin therapies in KMT2A-r AML. Loss of UTX confers resistance to DOT1L and Menin inhibition in an MLL target gene-independent manner. Mechanistically, We show that UTX is required for activation of myeloid differentiation programs induced by DOT1L inhibition. We also revealed BCL2A1 as a target of UTX. Depletion of UTX increased vulnerability to BCL2 inhibitor venetoclax in vitro and in vivo, and combinational treatment of venetoclax could overcome the therapeutic resistance to DOT1L inhibition caused by UTX loss. Our study provides new insights into the role of UTX in therapeutic responses in KMT2A-r AML.

Gene expression induced by DOT1L and Menin inhibition in cell line models of leukemia

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.

Targeting Chromatin Regulators Inhibits Leukemogenic Gene Expression in NPM1 Mutant Leukemia

Project description:Homeobox (HOX) proteins and the receptor tyrosine kinase FLT3 are frequently highly expressed and mutated in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Aberrant HOX expression is found in nearly all AMLs that harbor a mutation in the Nucleophosmin (NPM1) gene, and FLT3 is concomitantly mutated in approximately 60% of these cases. Little is known how mutant NPM1 (NPM1mut) cells maintain aberrant gene expression. Here, we demonstrate that the histone modifiers MLL1 and DOT1L control HOX and FLT3 expression and differentiation in NPM1mut AML. Using a CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing domain screen, we show NPM1mut AML to be exceptionally dependent on the menin binding site in MLL1. Pharmacological small-molecule inhibition of the menin-MLL protein interaction had profound anti-leukemic activity in human and murine models of NPM1mut AML in vitro and in vivo. Combined pharmacological inhibition of menin-MLL and DOT1L resulted in dramatic suppression of HOX and FLT3 expression, induction of differentiation, and superior activity against NPM1mut leukemia. Together, MLL1 and DOT1L are chromatin regulators that control HOX, MEIS1 and FLT3 expression and are therapeutic targets in NPM1mut AML. Combinatorial small-molecule inhibition has synergistic on target activity and constitutes a novel therapeutic concept for this common AML subtype.

Immunoproteasome function maintains oncogenic gene expression in KMT2A-complex driven leukemia

Project description:Pharmacologic targeting of epigenetic protein complexes has shown significant in vitro responses in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Early clinical trials in KMT2A-rearranged leukemia indicate rather transient responses and development of resistance. In an effort to define functional dependencies of KMT2A-fusions in AML, we identify the catalytic immunoproteasome subunit PSMB8 as a KMT2A-complex-specific vulnerability. Genetic and pharmacologic inactivation of PSMB8 results in impaired proliferation of murine and human leukemic cells while normal hematopoietic cells remain unaffected. Disruption of immunoproteasome function results in cellular enrichment of transcription factor BASP1, and consecutive repression of KMT2A-target genes. Pharmacologic targeting of PSMB8 improves efficacy of Menin-inhibitors, eradicates leukemia in primary human xenografts and shows preserved activity against Menin-inhibitor resistance mutations. This identifies and validates a cell-intrinsic mechanism whereby selective disruption of proteostasis results in altered transcription factor abundance and repression of oncogene-specific transcriptional networks. Therapeutic targeting of PSMB8-dependent transcription in combination with Menin-inhibition could thus eradicate KMT2A-complex driven AML.

A molecular switch between mammalian MLL complexes dictates response to Menin-MLL inhibition [RNA-seq]

Project description:The chromatin adaptor Menin interacts with oncogenic fusion proteins encoded by MLL1-rearrangements (MLL1-r), and small molecules that disrupt these associations are currently in clinical trials for the treatment of leukemia. Here, we delineate a molecular switch between the MLL1-Menin and MLL3/4-UTX chromatin modifying complexes that dictates response to Menin-MLL inhibitors. We show that Menin safeguards leukemia cell fitness by impeding binding of the histone demethylase UTX at a subset of non-canonical target gene promoters. Disrupting the interaction between Menin and MLL1 leads to UTX-dependent transcriptional activation of genes with tumor suppressive function. We show that this epigenetic mechanism is operative in murine and human models of AML, and clinical responses to Menin-MLL inhibition in primary human leukemia are accompanied by induction of tumor suppressive gene expression at Menin-UTX targets. These findings shed light on the context-dependent and often antagonistic roles that chromatin regulators exhibit in development and disease and provide mechanistic insight for rational design of targeted epigenetic therapies.
