Targeting Menin disrupts the KMT2A/B and polycomb balance to paradoxically activate bivalent genes [CUT&TAG]

ABSTRACT: Precise control of activating H3K4me3 and repressive H3K27me3 histone modifications at bivalent promoters is essential for normal development and is frequently corrupted in cancer. By coupling a cell surface readout of bivalent MHC class I gene expression with whole genome CRISPR/Cas9 screens, we identify specific roles for MTF2-PRC2.1, PCGF1-PRC1.1 and Menin- KMT2A/B complexes in maintaining bivalency. Unexpectedly, genetic loss or pharmacological inhibition of Menin phenocopies the effects of polycomb disruption, resulting in derepression of bivalent genes in both cancer cells and pluripotent stem cells. Whilst Menin and KMT2A/B contribute to H3K4me3 at active genes, a separate Menin-independent function of KMT2A/B maintains H3K4me3 and opposes polycomb-mediated repression at bivalent genes. Release of KMT2A from active genes following Menin targeting alters the balance of polycomb and KMT2A at bivalent genes, facilitating gene activation. This functional partitioning of Menin-KMT2A/B complex components reveals novel therapeutic opportunities that can be leveraged through inhibition of Menin.

Targeting Menin disrupts the KMT2A/B and polycomb balance to paradoxically activate bivalent genes [CRISPR]

Project description:Precise dynamic control of activating H3K4me3 and repressive H3K27me3 histone modifications at bivalent gene promoters is essential for normal development and frequently corrupted in cancer. Using whole genome CRISPR/Cas9 screens we identify specific roles for MTF2-PRC2.1 and PCGF1-PRC1.1 polycomb complexes, and MLL1/2-COMPASS-like complex components in maintaining bivalency. Contrary to expectations, loss of Menin or inhibition of the Menin-MLL1/2 interaction, induces activation of bivalent genes via loss of polycomb-mediated repression and defines distinct roles for MLL1/2 and Menin in gene regulation. Whilst Menin and MLL1/2 contribute to maintenance H3K4me3 at active genes, a separate Menin-independent function of MLL1/2 opposes polycomb mediated repression at bivalent genes. MLL1/2 are essential for basal transcription and, although dispensable for transcription factor driven activation, facilitate transcriptional consistency during dynamic changes in gene expression. This functional partitioning of COMPASS complex components reveals therapeutic opportunities to target oncogenic and immunosuppressive functions of PRC2 through pharmacological inhibition of Menin.

Epigenetic Regulation of Non-canonical Menin Targets Modulates Menin Inhibitor Response in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Project description:Menin inhibitors that disrupt Menin-MLL interaction hold promise for treating specific acute myeloid leukemia subtypes, including KMT2A rearrangements (KMT2A-r), yet resistance remains a challenge. Here, through systematic chromatin-focused CRISPR screens, along with genetic, epigenetic, and pharmacologic studies in a variety of human and mouse KMT2A-r AML models, we uncover a potential resistance mechanism independent of canonical Menin-MLL targets. We show that a group of non-canonical Menin targets, which are bivalently co-occupied by active Menin and repressive H2AK119ub marks, are typically downregulated following Menin inhibition. The loss of Polycomb Repressive Complex 1.1 (PRC1.1) subunits, such as PCGF1 or BCOR, leads to Menin inhibitor resistance by epigenetic reactivation of these non-canonical targets, including MYC. Genetic and pharmacological inhibition of MYC can resensitize PRC1.1-deficent leukemia cells to Menin inhibition. Moreover, we demonstrate that leukemia cells with the loss of PRC1.1 subunits exhibit reduced monocytic gene signatures and are susceptible to the BCL2 inhibition, and combinational treatment of venetoclax overcomes the resistance to Menin inhibition in PRC1.1-deficient leukemia cells. These findings highlight the important roles of PRC1.1 and its regulated non-canonical Menin targets in modulating Menin inhibitor response and provide potential strategies to treat leukemias with compromised PRC1.1 function.
