Project description:Translocations involving the Nucleoporin 98 (NUP98) gene predict a poor prognosis for patients with acute myeloid leukemia. These translocations generate NUP98-fusion proteins which interact with the mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL1/KMT2A) chromatin modifying enzyme and its binding partner Menin. The mechanisms by which the NUP98-fusion proteins maintain gene expression remain unclear. We demonstrate that the NUP98-fusion-Menin-KMT2A complex is essential for maintenance of H3K27Ac and active transcription at key loci such as Meis1 and the Hox cluster, among others. However, eviction of the complex from chromatin is insufficient to completely silence gene expression. Accumulation of the PRC1.1 complex and deposition of H2aK119Ub and H3K27Me3 is required to transition to a transcriptionally repressive chromatin state. Furthermore, we demonstrate that loss of PRC1.1 function leads to resistance to small molecule Menin inhibitors. Therefore, a critical function of the NUP98-fusion-Menin-KMT2A complex is to antagonize repressive chromatin complexes. These same mechanisms are critical for efficacy of newly developed therapeutics.

Project description:Disrupting the protein-protein interaction for molecularly targeted cancer therapeutics can be a challenging but promising strategy. Compounds that disrupt the interaction between menin, a chromatin-binding protein, and oncogenic mixed lineage leukemia fusion proteins (MLL-FPs) have shown significant promise in preclinical models of leukemia and have a high degree of selectivity for leukemia versus normal hematopoietic cells. Biochemical and structural studies demonstrate that, in addition to disrupting the menin-MLL-FP interaction, such compounds also inhibit menin-MLL1, menin-MLL2, and other menin-interacting proteins. Here, we address the degree to which disruption of menin-MLL-FP interactions or menin-MLL1/MLL2 interactions contribute to the antileukemia effect of menin inhibition. We show that Men1 deletion in MLL-AF9-transformed leukemia cells produces distinct cellular and molecular consequences compared with Mll1;Mll2 co-deletion and that compounds disrupting menin-MLL N-terminal interactions largely phenocopy menin loss. Moreover, we show that Mll1;Mll2-deficient leukemia cells exhibit enhanced sensitivity to menin interaction inhibitors, which is consistent with each regulating complementary genetic pathways. These data illustrate the heightened dependency of MLL-FPs on menin compared with wild-type MLL1/MLL2 for regulation of downstream target genes and argue that the predominant action of menin inhibitory compounds is through direct inhibition of MLL-FPs without significant contribution from MLL1/MLL2 inhibition.

Project description:The protein-protein interaction between menin and mixed lineage leukemia 1 (MLL1) plays a critical role in acute leukemias with translocations of the MLL1 gene or with mutations in the nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) gene. As a step toward clinical translation of menin-MLL1 inhibitors, we report development of MI-3454, a highly potent and orally bioavailable inhibitor of the menin-MLL1 interaction. MI-3454 profoundly inhibited proliferation and induced differentiation in acute leukemia cells and primary patient samples with MLL1 translocations or NPM1 mutations. When applied as a single agent, MI-3454 induced complete remission or regression of leukemia in mouse models of MLL1-rearranged or NPM1-mutated leukemia, including patient-derived xenograft models, through downregulation of key genes involved in leukemogenesis. We also identified MEIS1 as a potential pharmacodynamic biomarker of treatment response with MI-3454 in leukemia, and demonstrated that this compound is well tolerated and did not impair normal hematopoiesis in mice. Overall, this study demonstrates, for the first time to our knowledge, profound activity of the menin-MLL1 inhibitor as a single agent in clinically relevant PDX models of leukemia. These data provide a strong rationale for clinical translation of MI-3454 or its analogs for leukemia patients with MLL1 rearrangements or NPM1 mutations.

Project description:Using mouse and human models of NUP98-rearrranged leukemia, we demonstrate that inhibition of MLL-Menin impairs leukemogenic gene expression and disrupts chromatin binding of MLL1 and NUP98 fusion proteins at a critical subset of genes that is essential for sustaining the undifferentiated leukemia phenotype.
