Ikaros mutation confers integrin-dependent pre-B cell survival and progression to acute lymphoblastic leukemia

ABSTRACT: Deletion of the Ikaros DNA-binding domain generates dominant-negative isoforms that interfere with Ikaros family activity and correlate with poor prognosis in human precursor B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemias (B-ALL). Here, we show that conditional inactivation of the Ikaros DNA binding domain in early pre-B cells arrests their differentiation at a stage where integrin-dependent niche adhesion augments mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling, proliferation, and self-renewal, and attenuates pre-B cell receptor signaling and differentiation. Transplantation of polyclonal Ikzf1 mutant pre-B cells results in long-latency oligoclonal pre-B-ALL, demonstrating that loss of Ikaros contributes to multistep B-leukemogenesis. These results explain how normal pre-B cells transit from a highly proliferative and stromal-dependent to a stromal-independent phase where differentiation is enabled, providing potential therapeutic strategies for IKZF1 mutant B-ALL.

Project description:The main goal of the project is to develop a new generation of bioinformatics resources for the integrative analysis of multiple types of 'omics data. These resources include both novel statistical methodologies as well as user-friendly software implementations. STATegra methods address many aspects of the 'omics data integration problem such as the design of multi-omics experiments, integrative transcriptional and regulatory networks, integrative variable selection, data fusion, integration of public domain data, and integrative pathway analysis. To support method development STATegra uses a model biological system, namely the differentiation process of mouse pre-B-cells. The STATegra consortium generated data focused on a critical step in the differentiation of B lymphocytes, which are key components of the adaptive immune system. Transcription factors of the Ikaros family are central to the normal differentiation of B cell progenitors and their expression increases in response to developmental stage-specific signals to terminate the proliferation of B cell progenitors and to initiate their differentiation. In particular, a novel biological system that models the transition from the pre-BI stage to the pre-BII subsequent stage, where B cell progenitors undergo growth arrest and differentiation, was used. The approach involves a pre-B cell line, B3, and an inducible version of the Ikaros transcription factor, Ikaros-ERt2. Ikaros factors act to down-regulate genes that drive proliferation and to simultaneously up-regulate the expression of genes that promote the differentiation of B cell progenitors. Hence, in the B3 system, before induction of Ikaros, cells proliferate and their gene expression pattern is similar to proliferating B cell progenitors in vivo. Following Ikaros induction, B3 cells undergo gene expression changes that resemble those that occur in vivo during the transition from cycling to resting pre-B cells, followed by a marked reduction in cellular proliferation and by G1 arrest. On this system the consortium has created a high-quality data collection consisting of a replicated time course using seven different 'omics platforms: RNA-seq, miRNA-seq, ChIP-seq, DNase-seq, Methyl-seq, proteomics and metabolomics, which is used to assess and to validate STATegra methods. The STATegra experimental design consists of a 6 point time course that captures the differentiation of B3 cells containing Ikaros-ERt2 upon Ikaros induction within a 24 hr period. The process was sampled at 0, 2, 6, 12, 18, and 24 hrs respectively after Ikaros induction by Tamoxifen. As control, B3 cells transfected with an empty vector were treated and sampled in the same way as the inducible line. Eight different 'omic technologies were measured on this system: RNA-seq, miRNA-seq, DNase-seq, RRBS-seq, ChIP-seq, scRNA-seq, Proteomics and Metabolomics. Generally, three biological replicates were obtained per platform and were processed as independent batches. Metabolomics analysis was performed using 4 biological batches (7, 8, 9 and 10) and at times 0, 2, 6, 12, 18 and 24 hrs respectively. Each sample was analyzed using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS).
