Project description:Relapse is the most common cause of treatment failure in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and is often difficult to predict. To explore the prognostic impact of recurrent DNA copy number abnormalities on relapse, we performed high-resolution genomic profiling of 34 paired diagnosis-relapse ALL samples. Recurrent lesions detected at diagnosis, including PAX5, CDKN2A, and EBF1, were frequently absent at relapse, indicating that they represent secondary events that may be absent in the relapse-prone therapy-resistant progenitor cell. In contrast, deletions and nonsense mutations in IKZF1 (IKAROS), were highly enriched and consistently preserved at the time of relapse. A targeted copy number screen in an unselected cohort of 131 precursor B-ALL cases, enrolled in the dexamethasone-based Dutch Childhood Oncology Group treatment protocol ALL9, revealed that IKZF1 deletions are significantly associated with poor relapse-free and overall survival rates. Separate analysis of ALL9-treatment subgroups revealed that non-high-risk patients with IKZF1 deletions exhibited a ~12-fold higher relative relapse rate than those without IKZF1 deletions. Consequently, IKZF1 deletion status allowed the prospective identification of 53% of the relapse-prone non-high-risk-classified patients within this subgroup and, therefore, serves as one of the strongest predictors of relapse at the time of diagnosis with high potential for future risk stratification. Affymetrix NspI 250k array data of 34 paired diagnosis and relapse samples of pediatric ALL. From 13 patients a complete remission sample was available. Four cases had 2 relapses.

Project description:The immunomodulatory (IMiD) agents, such as lenalidomide, are highly effective treatment for several B cell lymphomas but have poor efficacy in T cell lymphomas (TCLs). Here, we show that IKZF1 is a key drug target and vulnerability in lenalidomide sensitive TCL cells. However, TCLs are largely resistant and become less dependent on IKZF1. Instead, ZPF91 functions as a transcription factor (TF) and coregulates cell survival with IKZF1 in TCL cells that develop resistance to lenalidomide. Aberrant upregulation of CSNK2B, which leads to c-Jun inactivation, contributes to an enhanced TF activity of ZFP91 and suppresses immune activation triggered by lenalidomide. Although ZFP91 can be better targeted by pomalidomide compared to lenalidomide, an inefficient degradation of IKZF1 and ZFP91 widely exists among IMiD-resistance TCLs. A novel CELMoD agent CC-92480, with markedly increased potency and similar substrate selectivity, can overcome IMiD-resistance across multiple TCL subtypes by near complete degradation of IKZF1 and ZFP91.

Project description:Alterations of IKZF1, encoding the lymphoid transcription factor IKAROS, are a hallmark of high risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), however the role of IKZF1 alterations in ALL pathogenesis is poorly understood. Here we show that in mouse models of BCR-ABL1 leukemia, Ikzf1 and Arf alterations synergistically promote the development of an aggressive lymphoid leukemia. Ikzf1 alterations were associated with acquisition of stem cell-like features, including self-renewal and increased bone marrow stromal adhesion. Rexinoid receptor agonists reversed this phenotype, in part by inducing expression of IKZF1, resulting in abrogation of adhesion and self-renewal, cell cycle arrest and attenuation of proliferation without direct cytotoxicity. Retinoids potentiated the activity of dasatinib in mouse and human BCR-ABL1 ALL, providing a new therapeutic option in IKZF1-mutated ALL. Significance: The outcome of therapy for high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia remains suboptimal despite contemporary chemotherapy and the advent of targeted therapeutic approaches. Recent genomic studies have identified deletions or mutations of IKZF1 as a hallmark of high-risk ALL, but an understanding of how IKZF1 alteration contribute to leukemia development are lacking. Here we show that IKZF1 alterations drive lymphoid lineage, a stem cell-like phenotype, abnormal bone marrow adhesion, and poor responsiveness to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy. Using a high-content screen, we show that retinoids reverse this phenotype in part by inducing expression of wild type IKZF1, and increase responsiveness to TKIs. These findings provide new insight into the pathogenesis of high-risk ALL and potential new therapeutic approaches.

Project description:Analysis of the effect of Prednisolone in mouse splenocytes with and without Ikzf1 at gene expression level. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that loss of Ikzf1 affects the induction and repression of the Glucocorticoid receptor target genes. Results provide important information of the differentially expressed genes regulated by Ikzf1 upon Prednisolone treatment, explaining the resistance towards Glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis in splenocytes harboring Ikzf1 loss. Total RNA was obtained from WT and Ikzf1+/- splenocytes subjected to 16 hours Prednsiolone treatment compared to untreated cells.

Project description:Chromosomal translocations resulting in chimeric fusion genes are prototypic for pediatric leukemia patients. The most known fusions are ETV6-RUNX1 or BCR-ABL1 in B-cell progenitor (BCP)-ALL, and rearrangements of MLL in pediatric ALL and AML. Genome-wide sequencing projects have revealed additional, recurrent gene mutations in B cell malignancies. One of these mutations comprises the IKZF1 gene, encoding the IKAROS transcription factor which is one of the essential transcription factors driving lymphoid development. IKZF1 deletions were first identified by SNP arrays in ALL patients, and later identified with a high prevalence in BCR-ABL1(+) patients. IKZF1 deletions turned out to be an independent prognostic marker associated with a poor outcome. Here, we characterized IKZF1 deletions in pediatric BCP-ALL patients by combining MLPA mapping experiments with long distance inverse PCR. The aim of our study was also to compare existing methods with our approach. Our attempt confirmed many of the existing data but revealed a more complex pattern of recombination sites, including a total of 4 recombination hotspots. This extended knowledge was translated into a novel, multiplex PCR assay that allows to perform IKZF1 deletion analyses by using a 2-tube PCR approach.

Project description:In order to investigate the function of IKZF1 in ALL, we isolated bone marrow cells from C57Bl6 mice and transformed them with BCR-ABL1. In a second transduction the BCR-ABL1 driven pre-B cells were transformed either with IKZF1-GFP or empty vector control (GFP) and subjected to gene expression analysis.

Project description:The Ikzf1 locus encodes the lymphoid specific transcription factors Ikaros, which play an essential role in both T and B cell differentiation, while deregulation or mutation of IKZF1/Ikzf1 is involved in leukemia. Tissue-specific and cell identity genes are usually associated with clusters of enhancers, also called super-enhancers, which are believed to ensure proper regulation of gene expression throughout cell development and differentiation. Several potential regulatory regions have been identified in close proximity of Ikzf1, however, the full extent of the regulatory landscape of the Ikzf1 locus is not yet established. In this study, we combined epigenomics and transcription factor binding along with high-throughput enhancer assay and 4C-seq to prioritize an enhancer element located 120 kb upstream of the Ikzf1 gene. We found that the deletion of the E120 enhancer resulted in a significant reduction of Ikzf1 mRNA. However, the epigenetic landscape and 3D topology of the locus were only slightly affected, highlighting the complexity of the regulatory landscape regulating the Ikzf1 locus
