Structure-guided functional suppression of AML-associated DNMT3A hotspot mutations

ABSTRACT: DNA methyltransferases DNMT3A- and DNMT3B-mediated de novo DNA methylation critically regulates epigenomic and transcriptomic patterning during development. The hotspot DNMT3A mutations at the site of Arg822 (R882) promote macro-oligomer formation, leading to aberrant DNA methylation that in turn contributes to pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, the molecular basis underlying the hotspot mutation-induced functional mis-regulation of DNMT3A remains unclear. Here, we report the crystal structure of DNMT3A methyltransferase (MTase) domain, revealing a molecular basis for its DNMT3B-distinct oligomerization behavior. Introducing DNMT3B-converting mutations to DNMT3A R882 mutants also led to structure determination of R882H- and R882C-mutated DNMT3A, which show enhanced intermolecular contacts than wild-type DNMT3A. Consistently, our in vitro and genomic DNA methylation analyses reveal that the DNMT3B-converting mutations eliminate the gain-of-function effect of the DNMT3A R882 mutations in cells. Together, this study provides mechanistic insights into DNMT3A R882 mutation-triggered aberrant oligomerization and DNA hypomethylation in AML, with important implications in cancer therapy.

Structure-guided functional suppression of AML-associated DNMT3A R882 mutations [methylation]

Gene expression profiling of the MLL-AF9 induced AML cells (wild type and Dnmt3b-KO)

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous hematopoietic disorder with a poor prognosis. Abnormal DNA methylation is involved in the initiation and development of AML. The de novo methyltransferases Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b are responsible for the generation of genomic methylation patterns. While DNMT3A is frequently mutated in hematologic malignancies, DNMT3B is rarely mutated. To investigate the role of Dnmt3b in AML, we genetically inactivated Dnmt3b in an MLL-AF9 induced AML mouse model. Gene profiling using a microarray revealed the upregulation of the oncogenic gene set and the downregulation of the cell differentiation gene set. Our results indicate that Dnmt3b plays the role of a tumor suppressor in MLL-AF9 AML progression, which reveals new insights into the roles of DNA methylation in leukemic development.

PML-RARA fusion gene requires Dnmt3a to induce acute promyelocytic leukemia in mice

Project description:Loss of function mutations in the DNA methyltransferase DNMT3A are highly recurrent in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). DNMT3A and DNMT3B encode the two methyltransferases that are primarily responsible for the de novo methylation of specific DNA sequences during cellular differentiation. DNMT3A mutations are rarely found in AML patients with translocations that create oncogenic fusion genes (e.g. PML-RARA, RUNX1-RUNX1T1, CBFB-MYH11, and MLL-X). To begin to define the reasons why these mutations do not occur together, we used retroviral vectors to express PML-RARA, RUNX1-RUNX1T1, and MLL-AF9 in the bone marrow cells of wild type (WT) or Dnmt3a deficient mice; we also examined the hematopoietic phenotypes of Ctsg-PML-RARA animals (which express PML-RARA in early hematopoietic progenitors and myeloid precursors) with and without Dnmt3a. We demonstrated that the methyltransferase activity of Dnmt3a (but not Dnmt3b) is required for aberrant self-renewal ex vivo that is driven by PML-RARA (but not RUNX1-RUNX1T1 or MLL-AF9); furthermore, the PML-RARA-driven competitive transplantation advantage and leukemia generation both required Dnmt3a. Together, these findings demonstrate that PML-RARA is specifically dependent on Dnmt3a to initiate APL in mice, and may explain why loss-of-function DNMT3A mutations are not found in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia.

Genome-wide identification of distinct target loci for de novo DNA methylation by DNMT3A and DNMT3B during mammalian development

Project description:DNA methylation plays essential roles in mammalian development. During post-implantation development, de novo establishment of DNA methylation is accomplished by DNA methyltransferases, in particular DNMT3A and DNMT3B. At present, the distinct functions of these two enzymes remain largely elusive. To comprehensively identify the target sites for de novo DNA methylation by the DNMT3 enzymes, we took advantage of female mouse ES cells established in the presence of MEK and Gsk3 inhibitors, which lack most DNA methylation (2i/L ES cells), in combination with genetic ablation of Dnmt3a or Dnmt3b. We analyzed de novo DNA methylation in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (2i-MEFs) derived from Dnmt3 knockout (KO) 2i/L ES cells. Both Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b KO 2i-MEFs exhibited a modest but global reduction in CpG methylation, which was particularly notable on the X chromosome in Dnmt3b KO cells. Although most genes were methylated similarly in both knockouts, we identified 355 and 333 uniquely unmethylated genes in Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b KO 2i-MEFs, respectively. Notably, Dnmt3a was exclusively required for de novo methylation at both TSS regions and gene bodies of Polycomb group (PcG) target developmental genes. Consistent with this, tissue-specific DNA methylation at PcG target developmental genes was substantially reduced in Dnmt3a KO embryos. Finally, we found that human patients with DNMT3A mutant acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or harboring DNMT3B mutation associated with immunodeficiency, centromere, and facial anomalies (ICF) syndrome exhibited reduced CpG methylation at regions that were hypomethylated in Dnmt3a or Dnmt3b KO 2i-MEFs, respectively. Collectively, our findings in DNA-hypomethylated 2i/L ES cells revealed a set of unique de novo DNA methylation target sites for both DNMT3 enzymes during mammalian development that overlap with hypomethylated sites in human patients.

Comprehensive structure-function characterization of DNMT3B and DNMT3A reveals distinctive de novo DNA methylation mechanisms

Project description:Mammalian DNA methylation patterns are established by two de novo DNA methyltransferases DNMT3A and DNMT3B, which exhibit both redundant and distinctive methylation activities. However, the related molecular basis remains undetermined. Through comprehensive structural, enzymology and cellular characterizations of DNMT3A and DNMT3B, here we uncovered distinct and interrelated modes-of-action underlying their CpG site and flanking sequence interaction. Strikingly, K777 of DNMT3B makes direct contacts with the DNA base at the +1 flank position of the cytosine methylation site, which contrasts with its counterpart in DNMT3A that forms base-specific contacts with the CpG site. Consequently, there is a divergent substrate and flanking sequence preference between DNMT3A and DNMT3B in vitro and in cells, thus providing an explanation for site-specific epigenomic alterations seen in ICF syndrome patients with DNMT3B mutations. Together, this study reveals crucial, yet complicated interplays of DNMT3s, DNA sequences and resultant methylation.

Effect of DNMT3A R882H mutation or WT expression on global DNA methylation patterns of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells with NRAS G12D co-transduction (eRRBS)

Project description:DNA Methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) is frequently mutated in various hematopoietic malignancies; however, the underlying oncogenic mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we report that DNMT3A mutational ‘hotspot’ at Arg882 (DNMT3A-R882H) cooperates with constitutively activated RAS in transforming murine hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) ex vivo and inducing acute leukemias in vivo. DNMT3A-R882H potentiates aberrant transactivation of ‘stemness’ gene expression programs, notably transcription factors Meis1, Hox-A, Mn1 and Mycn. Mechanistically, R882-mutated DNMT3A directly binds to cis-regulatory elements of these genes and induces focal CpG hypomethylation reminiscent of what was seen in human leukemias bearing DNMT3A R882 mutation. Furthermore, DNMT3A-R882H induced DNA hypomethylation facilitates gene enhancer/promoter activation and recruitment of Dot1l-associated transcription elongation machineries. Inactivation of Dot1l represses DNMT3AR882H-mediated stem cell gene dysregulation and acute leukemogenicity. In this dataset, we provided enhanced Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (eRRBS) DNA methylome profiling data showing effect of DNMT3A R882H mutation or WT expression on hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells with NRAS G12D co-transduction.
