Project description:The leukemia stem cell (LSC) populations of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) exhibit phenotypic, genetic and functional heterogeneity that contribute to therapy failure and relapse. Progress towards understanding the mechanistic basis for therapy resistance in LSCs has been hampered by difficulties in isolating cell fractions that enrich for the entire heterogeneous population of LSCs within individual AML samples. We previously reported that CD200 gene expression is upregulated in LSC-containing AML fractions. We demonstrate that CD200 is present on a greater proportion of CD45dim blasts compared to more differentiated CD45high cells in AML patient samples. In 75% of AML cases examined, CD200 was expressed on 10% of CD45dim blasts; of these, CD200 identified LSCs within the blast population in 90% of samples tested in xenotransplantation assays. Notably, CD200 expression captured both CD34- and CD34- LSCs within individual AML samples. Highly purified CD45dimCD200+ LSC-containing blasts were enriched in primitive HSC/progenitor-like signatures, while CD45dimCD200- nonengrafting blasts were enriched in myeloid-like signature. Moreover, analysis of CD45dimCD200+ blasts from NPM1-mutated AMLs also demonstrated an enrichment of primitive gene expression signatures compared to unfractionated (bulk) cells.

Project description:Leukemia stem cells (LSCs) are found in most aggressive myeloid diseases and contribute to therapeutic resistance. Genetic and epigenetic alterations cause a dysregulated developmental program in leukemia. The MSI2 RNA binding protein has been previously shown to predict poor survival in leukemia. We demonstrate that the conditional deletion of Msi2 results in delayed leukemogenesis, reduced disease burden and a loss of LSC function. Gene expression profiling of the Msi2 ablated LSCs demonstrates a loss of the HSC/LSC and an increase in the differentiation program. The gene signature from the Msi2 deleted LSCs correlates with survival in AML patients. MSI2’s maintains the MLL self-renewal program by interacting with and retaining efficient translation of Hoxa9, Myc and Ikzf2. We further demonstrate that shRNA depletion of the MLL target gene Ikzf2 also contributes to MLL leukemia cell survival. Our data provides evidence that MSI2 controls efficient translation of the oncogenic LSC self-renewal program and a rationale for clinically targeting MSI2 in myeloid leukemia. RNA-Seq was performed on sorted c-Kit high leukemic cells from 2 Msi2 -/- and 2 Msi2 f/f mice.

Project description:The genetic programs that maintain leukemia stem cell (LSC) self-renewal and oncogenic potential have been well defined, however the epigenetic landscape that determines their cellular identity and functionality has not been established. We report that LSCs in MLL-associated leukemia are maintained in an epigenetic state defined by relative genome-wide high-level H3K4me3 methylation and low level H3K79me2. LSC differentiation is associated with dynamic reversal of these broad epigenetic profiles and concomitant down-regulation of the LSC maintenance transcriptional program. LSCs also share with embryonic stem cells a large subset of genes with bivalent histone marks related to embryonic development. The histone demethylase KDM5B negatively regulates MLL-induced leukemogenesis demonstrating the crucial role of the H3K4 global methylome for determining leukemia stem cell fate. Investigation of multiple histone modification marks and RNA Pol II in ckit+ and ckit- cells isolated and fractionated from MLL leukemia mice.

Project description:Despite the advanced understanding of disease mechanisms, the current therapeutic regimens fail to cure most patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In the present study, we address the role of protein synthesis control in AML leukemia stem cell (LSC) function and leukemia propagation. We apply a murine model of mixed-lineage leukemia-rearranged AML to demonstrate that LSCs synthesize more proteins per hour compared with the bulk of leukemia. Using a genetic model that permits inducible and graded regulation of ribosomal subunit joining, we show that defective ribosome assembly leads to a significant survival advantage by selectively eradicating LSCs but not normal hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Finally, transcriptomic and proteomic analyses identify a rare subset of LSCs with immature stem cell signature and high ribosome content that underlies the resistance to defective ribosome assembly. Collectively, our study unveils a critical requirement of high protein synthesis rate for LSC function, highlighting ribosome assembly as a therapeutic target in AML.

Project description:Leukemia stem cells (LSCs) are regarded as the origins and key therapeutic targets of leukemia, but limited knowledge is available on the key determinants of LSC “stemness”. Using single cell RNAseq analysis, we identify a master regulator PU.1, whose LSC-specific expression determines the molecular signature and activity of LSC in the Pten-null T-ALL model. Although initiated by PTEN controlled β-catenin activation, PU.1 expression and LSC “stemness” are maintained by a β-catenin-PU.1-TIM-3 feedback loop, independent of the leukemogenic driver mutation. Perturbing any component of this loop, either genetically or pharmacologically, can prevent LSC formation or eradicate existing LSCs. LSCs lose their “stemness” when PU.1 expression is silenced by DNA methylation, which can be reactivated by 5-AZ. Importantly similar regulatory mechanisms are also present in human T-ALLs.

Project description:Leukemia stem cells (LSCs) share several crucial properties with hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) including self-renewal, cell cycle quiescence, and expression of a CD34+CD38- immunophenotype, which complicates efforts to eradicate AML by therapeutically targeting LSCs without adversely affecting HSCs. Here we report that CD93, a C-type lectin transmembrane receptor, is preferentially expressed on the cell surface of LSCs compared with HSCs in the genetic subtype of AML with genomic rearrangements of the MLL gene. LSCs that selectively express CD93 are actively cycling, and highly enriched for xeno-engraftment potential, yet comprise a minor component of an otherwise quiescent CD34+CD38- compartment of human AML. Notably, CD93 is required for LSC function in MLL leukemogenesis, and is not simply a passive surface marker co-expressed on LSCs. Thus, CD93 selectively marks and essentially maintains LSCs, and identifies them as predominantly cycling, non-quiescent leukemia-initiating cells in MLL-rearranged AML.
