Expression analysis of DNMT3A mutant-transduced hematopoetic stem/progenitors
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Despite the impact of DNMT3A mutation in acute myeloid leukemia has been emphasized, the precise molecular mechanisms in leukemogenesis are largely unknown. Here we show that, in murine transplantation experiments, recipients transplanted with DNMT3A mutant-transduced cells exhibit aberrant hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) accumulation. Differentiation-associated genes are down-regulated without accompanying changes in methylation status of their promoter-associated CpG islands in DNMT3A mutant-transduced stem/progenitor cells. DNMT3A mutant also promotes monoblastic transformation in vitro in combination with HOXA9. Molecularly, DNMT3A mutant interacts with polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1), leading to transcriptional silencing of PU.1. Suppression of PRC1 impairs aberrant HSC accumulation and monoblastic transformation. Taken together, our results highlight the functional role of DNMT3A mutation, forming the basis for leukemia development.
