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.
