Menin-MLL complex cooperates with NF-Y to promote HCC survival [CRISPR]

ABSTRACT: Identification of new therapeutic targets in liver cancer remains critical. Chromatin regulating complexes are frequently mutated in liver cancer suggesting dysregulation of chromatin environments is a key feature driving liver cancer. We applied a focused CRISPR library targeting all genes involved in chromatin regulation to determine if the altered chromatin state of hepatocellular carcinoma cells could be targeted. The focused approach allowed us to test multiple cell lines in both 2D and 3D growth conditions which revealed striking differences in the essentiality of genes involved in ubiquitination and uncovered multiple chromatin regulators that are essential in 2D but whose loss promotes growth in 3D. We found the menin-MLL complex as among the strongest essential genes in all screens and deeply characterized the mechanism menin-MLL uses to promote hepatocellular carcinoma growth. Inhibition of menin-MLL led to global changes in occupancy of the complex and concomitant decreases in H3K4me3 and gene expression. A surprising increase in chromatin accessibility at sites not bound by menin-MLL was associated with recruitment of the pioneer transcription factor complex NF-Y. A screen of chromatin regulators in the presence of the menin-MLL inhibitor SNDX-5613 revealed a synergy between NF-YB loss and menin-MLL inhibition. Together these data show that menin-MLL is necessary for cell survival in HCC and cooperates with NF-Y to regulate transcription.

Menin-MLL complex cooperates with NF-Y to promote HCC survival [CUT&RUN]

Project description:Identification of new therapeutic targets in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains critical. Chromatin regulating complexes are frequently mutated or aberrantly expressed in HCC, suggesting dysregulation of chromatin environments is a key feature driving liver cancer. To investigate whether the altered chromatin state in HCC cells could be targeted, we designed and utilized an epigenome-focused CRISPR library that targets all genes involved in chromatin regulation. This focused approach allowed us to test multiple cell lines in both 2D and 3D growth conditions, which revealed striking differences in the essentiality of genes involved in ubiquitination and uncovered multiple chromatin regulators vital for HCC cell survival in 2D but whose loss promoted growth in 3D. We found the core subunits of the menin-MLL1 complex among the strongest essential genes for HCC survival in all screens and thoroughly characterized the mechanism through which menin-MLL1 complex promote HCC cell growth. Inhibition of the menin-MLL1 interaction led to global changes in occupancy of the complex and concomitant decreases in H3K4me3 and gene expression. We observed that increased chromatin accessibility at sites not bound by menin-MLL1 was associated with the recruitment of the pioneer transcription factor complex NF-Y. A CRISPR/Cas9 screen of chromatin regulators in the presence of the menin-MLL1 inhibitor SNDX-5613 revealed a synergistic effect on cell death when combining NF-YB loss and menin-MLL1 interaction inhibition. Together, these data show that menin-MLL1 is necessary for HCC cell survival and cooperates with NF-Y to regulate oncogenic gene transcription.

Targeting the MLL complex in castration-resistant prostate cancer [expression]

Project description:Resistance to androgen deprivation therapies and increased androgen receptor (AR) activity are major drivers of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Prior work has focused on targeting AR directly; however, the identification and targeting of co-activators of AR signaling remains an underexplored area. Here we demonstrate that the MLL (mixed-lineage leukemia) complex, a well-known contributor in MLL-fusion-positive leukemia, acts as a co-activator of AR signaling. AR interacts with the MLL complex via its subunit, menin. Small molecule inhibition of the menin-MLL interaction blocks AR signaling and inhibits tumor growth in vivo. Furthermore, we find that menin is up-regulated in CRPC and high expression correlates with poor overall survival. Our study identifies the MLL complex as a co-activator of AR that can be targeted in advanced prostate cancer. ASH2L / Menin / MLL1 were knocked down using shRNA /siRNA in two prostate cancer cell lines, VCaP and LNCaP.

Epigenetic Regulation of Non-canonical Menin Targets Modulates Menin Inhibitor Response in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Project description:Menin inhibitors that disrupt Menin-MLL interaction hold promise for treating specific acute myeloid leukemia subtypes, including KMT2A rearrangements (KMT2A-r), yet resistance remains a challenge. Here, through systematic chromatin-focused CRISPR screens, along with genetic, epigenetic, and pharmacologic studies in a variety of human and mouse KMT2A-r AML models, we uncover a potential resistance mechanism independent of canonical Menin-MLL targets. We show that a group of non-canonical Menin targets, which are bivalently co-occupied by active Menin and repressive H2AK119ub marks, are typically downregulated following Menin inhibition. The loss of Polycomb Repressive Complex 1.1 (PRC1.1) subunits, such as PCGF1 or BCOR, leads to Menin inhibitor resistance by epigenetic reactivation of these non-canonical targets, including MYC. Genetic and pharmacological inhibition of MYC can resensitize PRC1.1-deficent leukemia cells to Menin inhibition. Moreover, we demonstrate that leukemia cells with the loss of PRC1.1 subunits exhibit reduced monocytic gene signatures and are susceptible to the BCL2 inhibition, and combinational treatment of venetoclax overcomes the resistance to Menin inhibition in PRC1.1-deficient leukemia cells. These findings highlight the important roles of PRC1.1 and its regulated non-canonical Menin targets in modulating Menin inhibitor response and provide potential strategies to treat leukemias with compromised PRC1.1 function.

SON and its alternatively spliced isoforms control MLL complex-mediated H3K4me3 and transcription of leukemia-associated genes (ChIP-seq data)

Project description:Dysregulation of MLL complex-mediated histone methylation plays a pivotal role in gene expression associated with diseases, but little is known about cellular factors modulating MLL complex activity. Here, we report that SON, previously known as an RNA splicing factor, controls MLL complex-mediated transcriptional initiation. SON binds to DNA near transcription start sites, interacts with menin, and inhibits MLL complex assembly, resulting in decreased H3K4me3 and transcriptional repression. Importantly, alternatively spliced short isoforms of SON are markedly upregulated in acute myeloid leukemia. The short isoforms compete with full-length SON for chromatin occupancy, but lack the menin-binding ability, thereby antagonizing full-length SON function in transcriptional repression while not impairing full-length SON-mediated RNA splicing. Furthermore, overexpression of a short isoform of SON enhances replating potential of hematopoietic progenitors. Our findings define SON as a fine-tuner of the MLL-menin interaction and reveal short SON overexpression as a marker indicating aberrant transcriptional initiation in leukemia.

Chromatin state changes induced by targeted degradation of MLL-AF9 are phenocopied by combined DOT1L and MENIN inhibition. [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Using ChIP-seq we examined the occupancy changes of various histone marks and chromatin-bound proteins following accute MLL-AF9 degradation in MLL-AF9-HA-FKPB12 transformed human (HCB1) cells. We also examined occupancy changes of various chromatin-bound proteins in human MLL-AF9-HA-FKBP12 transformed cells (HCB1) and MOLM13 cells in response to DOT1L inhibition, Menin-MLL inhibition, and the combination of DOT1L and Menin-MLL inhibition.
