A hypermethylated ALOX12 gene is highly susceptible to 5-azacytidine treatment in myelodysplastic syndromes

ABSTRACT: 5-azacytidine (AZA) is widely used for treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). However, identifying predictive factors for response to AZA remains challenging. The aim in present study was to identify the genes which are susceptible to AZA in MDS and investigate the possibility of the gene for predictor for response to AZA therapy. To identify AZA-susceptible genes, we compared the gene expression changes by AZA in MDS-L cells (AZA-sensitive) with those in MDS-L/CDA cells (AZA-resistant) in culture. Of 438 AZA-susceptible genes, we searched the genes which are hypermethylated in MDS patients as compared to healthy controls by analyzing public dataset GSE152710, and found ALOX12 gene. Analysis of public dataset GSE145733 and GSE58831 revealed that ALOX12 expression was suppressed in MDS classes with excess blasts but not in other classes, and were negatively and positively correlated with bone marrow blast counts and survival, respectively, in MDS patients. Analysis of public dataset GSE152710 revealed that the methylation level of ALOX12 gene was decreased in MDS patients with complete remission but not in those with partial response and progression disease after AZA therapy. Our retrospective clinical study in which nine AZA-treated patients were enrolled suggested that ALOX12 expression was increased in patients with favorable response, while decreased in patient with poor response after AZA therapy. In conclusion, ALOX12 gene could be tumor suppressive and promising marker for predicting the response to AZA therapy in MDS.

Molecular profiling of pre-and post-5-azacytidine myelodysplastic syndrome samples identifies predictors of response

Project description:Treatment with the hypomethylating agent 5-azacytidine (AZA) increases survival in high-risk (HR) myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients, but predicting patient response and overall survival remains challenging. To address these issues, we analyzed mutational and transcriptional profiles in CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) before and following AZA therapy in MDS patients. AZA treatment led to a greater reduction in the mutational burden in both blast and hematological responders than non-responders. Blast and hematological responders showed transcriptional evidence of pre-treatment enrichment for pathways such as oxidative phosphorylation, MYC targets, and mTORC1 signaling. While blast non-response was associated with TNFa signaling and leukemia stem cell signature, hematological non-response was associated with cell-cycle related pathways. AZA induced similar transcriptional responses in MDS patients regardless of response type. Comparison of blast responders and non-responders to normal controls, allowed us to generate a transcriptional classifier that could predict AZA response and survival. This classifier outperformed a previously developed gene signature in a second MDS patient cohort, but signatures of hematological responses were unable to predict survival. Overall, these studies characterize the molecular consequences of AZA treatment in MDS HSPCs and identify a potential tool for predicting AZA therapy responses and overall survival prior to initiation of therapy.

Inhibition of CBP synergizes with the RNA-dependent mechanisms of azacitidine by limiting protein translation

Project description:The nucleotide analogue azacitidine (AZA) interferes with RNA and DNA metabolism and is currently the best treatment option for a subset of patients with high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes. However, only half of treated patients respond and almost all patients that initially respond eventually relapse. Thus, response-predicting biomarkers and new treatment options are urgently needed to improve the clinical management of these patients. Here, we performed a loss-of-function shRNA screen in combination with AZA treatment in a MDS-derived AML cell line to identify chromatin regulators affecting drug response. We identified the histone acetyl transferase and transcriptional co-activator CBP as a major regulator of AZA sensitivity. Compounds inhibiting the enzymatic activity of CBP synergistically reduced viability of MDS-derived AML cell lines when combined with AZA. Surprisingly, this affect was specific for the RNA-dependent functions of AZA and not observed with the related compound decitabine that is limited to DNA incorporation. The identification of immediate target genes suggested that the effect of CBP inhibition is mediated by downregulation of genes encoding the translational machinery, which could be confirmed in proteomic analysis of nascent proteins. Furthermore, proteins most affected by CBP inhibition include key drivers of cycle progression. Taken together, our results identify a novel synergistic interaction between CBP inhibitors and specifically AZA that warrants further evaluation for the combinatorial treatment of high-risk MDS patients. Beyond the scope of MDS and AZA, we provide novel insight in the function of clinically promising CBP inhibitors that is related to unexpected interference with the translational machinery.

A methylation signature at diagnosis in patients with high-risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes and secondary Acute Myeloid Leukemia predicts azacitidine response but not relapse

Project description:Epigenetic therapy, using hypomethylating agents (HMA), is known to be effective in the treatment of high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients who are not suitable for intensive chemotherapy or allogeneic stem cell transplantation. However, response rates to HMA are low and there is an unmet need in finding prognostic and predictive biomarkers of treatment response. We performed global methylation analysis of 75 patients with high risk MDS and secondary AML (sAML) who were included in CETLAM MDS-09 protocol, in which patients received HMA or intensive treatment according to age, comorbidities and cytogenetics. At diagnosis, no global methylation pattern allowed us to differentiate patients according to the cytological subtype, cytogenetics or treatment response. But we found a methylation signature defined by 200 probes, which allowed us to distinguish between responding and non-responding patients to azacitidine (AZA) treatment. Studying follow-up samples, we have confirmed that AZA decreases global DNA methylation, but in our cohort the degree of methylation decrease did not correlate with the type of response. The methylation signature detected at diagnosis was not useful in treated samples to determine a methylation pattern predictive of progression or relapse. In conclusion, altered DNA methylation patterns at diagnosis, in a subset of determined CpGs, may serve as biomarker for predicting AZA response.

Different gene sets are associated with azacitidine response in vitro and myelodysplastic syndrome patients

Project description:Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a heterogeneous group of hematopoietic disorders and characterized by dysplasia, ineffective hematopoiesis and predisposition to secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML). Azacitidine (AZA) is the standard care for high-risk MDS patients not eligible for allogenic bone marrow transplantation. However, only half of the patients respond and all patients eventually relapse. Response predicting biomarkers and combinatorial drugs targets enhancing response and its duration are needed. Here, we have taken a dual approach. First, we have evaluated genes encoding chromatin regulators for their capacity to modulate AZA response. We were able to validate several genes, whose genetic inhibition affected the cellular AZA response, including four genes encoding components of ISWI chromatin remodelling complex pointing towards a specific function and co-vulnerability. Second, we have used a classical cohort analysis approach measuring the association of expression of a gene panel in bone marrow samples collected at diagnosis of 36 MDS patients. The gene panel included the identified AZA modulators, genes known to be involved in AZA metabolism and previously identified candidate modulators. In addition to confirming a number of previously made observations, we were able to identify several new associations, such as SMARCA5 as positive indicator for AZA response, or NSUN3 that correlated with increased overall survival. Taken together we have identified a number of genes associated with AZA response in vitro and in patients. These groups of genes are largely non-overlapping suggesting that different gene sets need to be exploited for the development of combinatorial drug targets and response-predicting biomarkers.

Expression data from AZA treated megakaryocytic cells under TPO-RA stimulation

Project description:Thrombocytopenia is an independent prognostic indicator in patients with MDS (de Swart, L. et al, Br J Haematol, 2015) and we sought to evaluate the contribution of azacitidine to the worsening of this condition in patients with MDS and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Since MDS/AML may have lower amounts of residual healthy cells, we sought to model this effect of AZA on healthy cord blood derived megakaryocytic cells. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in the presence of azacitidine under megakaryocytic differentiation stimulants and identified distinct classes of dysregulated genes and pathways during this process.

Multi-omics of azacitidine-treated AML cells reveals variable and convergent targets that remodel the cell surface proteome

Project description:Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are diseases of abnormal hematopoietic differentiation with aberrant epigenetic alterations. Azacitidine (AZA) is a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor (DNMTi) widely used to treat MDS and AML, yet the impact of AZA on the cell surface proteome has not been defined. To identify potential therapeutic targets for use in combination with AZA in AML patients, we investigated the effects of AZA treatment on four AML cell lines representing different stages of differentiation. The effect of AZA treatment on these cell lines was characterized at three levels: the DNA methylome, the transcriptome, and the cell surface proteome. Untreated AML cell lines showed substantial overlap at all three omics level; however, while AZA treatment globally reduced DNA methylation in all cell lines, changes in the transcriptome and surface proteome were subtle and differed among the cell lines. Transcriptome analysis identified five commonly up-regulated coding genes upon AZA treatment in all four cell lines, TRPM4 being the only gene encoding a surface protein, and surface proteomics analysis found no commonly regulated proteins. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) of differentially-regulated RNA and surface proteins showed a decrease in metabolism pathways and an increase in immune defense response pathways. As such, AZA treatment led to diverse effects at the individual gene and protein level but converged to common responses at the pathway level. Given the heterogeneous responses in the four cell lines, we discuss potential therapeutic strategies for AML in combinations with AZA.

Whole exome sequencing of human MDS/AML OCI-M2 and patient-derived bone marrow cell lines treated with 5-azacytidine

Project description:The whole exome sequencing experiment is part of the study: “Analysis of 5-azacytidine resistance models reveals a set of targetable pathways”. In the study we generated myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia (MDS/AML) OCI-M2 cell lines as well as patient-derived bone marrow cell lines that are resistant to hypomethylating therapy by 5-azacytidine (AZA). By integrated analysis of expression and mutation data obtained from these samples we have identified multiple signaling pathways whose modulation by specific small molecule inhibitors significantly block proliferation of AZA-resistant cell lines without increasing their sensitivity to AZA. The understanding of the molecular mechanisms which characterize the AZA-R phenotype can be used for broadening therapeutic options at progressing states during AZA therapy.

RNA-seq of human MDS/AML cell line OCI-M2 treated with 5-azacytidine and sulforaphane

Project description:The RNA sequencing experiment is part of the study: “Modulating Redox Balance Restores Azacytidine Efficacy in Hypomethylating Agent Resistant Disease.” In the study we generated myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia (MDS/AML) OCI-M2 cell line that is resistant to hypomethylating therapy by 5-azacytidine (AZA). By modulation of the redox environment via modification of redox sensor KEAP1 using sulforaphane (SFN) in these cells we were able to restore sensitivity to AZA. We used RNA sequencing to define transcriptomic differences between AZA sensitive (AZA-S) and AZA resistant (AZA-R) cells and to characterize how the transcriptome is changing upon treatment of these cells with AZA, SFN and combination of both.
