Loss of Asxl1 Alters Self-Renewal and Cell Fate of Bone Marrow Stromal Cell

ABSTRACT: De novo ASXL1 mutations are found in patients with Bohring-Opitz syndrome, a disease with severe developmental defects and early childhood fatality. The underlying pathologic mechanisms remain largely unknown. Using Asxl1-targeted murine models,we found that Asxl1 global loss or conditional deletion in osteoblasts and their progenitors in mice leads to significant bone loss and markedly decreased numbers of marrow mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells (MSPCs) compared with wild-type (WT) littermates. Asxl1-/- MSPCs displayed impaired self-renewal and skewed differentiation-away from osteoblasts and favoring adipocytes. RNA-seq analysis reveals the altered expression of genes involved in cell proliferation, skeletal development and morphogenesis. Furthermore, gene set enrichment analysis showed a decreased gene expression of stem cell self-renewal signature,suggesting the role of Asxl1 in regulating the stemness of MSPCs. Importantly, introducing Asxl1 normalized NANOG and OCT4 expression and restored the self-renewal capacity of Asxl1-/- MSPCs. Our study unveils a pivotal role of ASXL1 in maintenance of MSPC functions and skeletal development.

Loss of Asxl1 Alters Mesenchymal Stem Cell Fate through H3K4me3 [ChIP-seq]

Project description:De novo ASXL1 mutations are found in patients with Bohring-Opitz syndrome (BOS), a disease with severe developmental defects and early childhood fatality. The underlying pathologic mechanisms remain largely unknown. Using Asxl1-targeted murine models, we found that Asxl1 global loss or conditional deletion in osteoblasts and their progenitors in mice leads to significant bone loss and markedly decreased numbers of marrow mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells (MSPCs) compared with wild-type (WT) littermates. Asxl1 null MSPCs display impaired self-renewal and skewed differentiation from osteoblasts towards adipocytes. ChIP-seq data identified that ASXL1 and H3K4me3 co-occupy the promoter regions of genes critical for MSPC self-renewal. Loss of Asxl1 diminished the genome enrichment of H3K4me3. Combined analysis of RNA-seq and ChIP-seq data revealed that Asxl1 loss in MSPCs altered the expression of ASXL1/H3K4me3 target genes controlling self-renewal/lineage commitment. Our study unveil a pivotal role of ASXL1 in H3K4me3-associated bone homeostasis

Cancer-associated ASXL1 mutations may act as gain-of-function mutations of the ASXL1-BAP1 complex

Project description:ASXL1 is the obligate regulatory subunit of a deubiquitinase complex whose catalytic subunit is BAP1. Heterozygous mutations of ASXL1 that result in premature truncations are frequent in myeloid leukemias and Bohring-Opitz syndrome. Here, we demonstrate that truncated ASXL1 proteins confer enhanced activity on the ASXL1-BAP1 complex. Stable expression of truncated, hyperactive ASXL1-BAP1 complexes in a hematopoietic precursor cell line resulted in global erasure of H2AK119Ub, striking depletion of H3K27me3, selective upregulation of a subset of genes whose promoters bore both H2AK119Ub and H3K4me3, and spontaneous differentiation to the mast cell lineage. These outcomes required the catalytic activity of BAP1, indicating these events were downstream consequences of H2AK119Ub erasure. In bone marrow precursors, truncated ASXL1-BAP1 expression cooperated with TET2 loss-of-function to increase differentiation to the myeloid lineage in vivo. We propose that pathological ASXL1 mutations confer gain-of-function on the ASXL-BAP1 complex. ChIP-Seq for H2AK119Ub, H3K4me3, H3K27me3 on EML cells. RNA-Seq on EML cells expressing ASXL1(1-479)+BAP1 and control.

Murine mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells (MSPC): Ptpn11+/+ MSPC vs. Ptpn11E76K/+ MSPC

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of mouse mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells (MSPC) comparing control Ptpn11+/+ MSPC with Ptpn11E76K/+ MSPC. By obtaining 20 million reads of sequence from two pair, we confirmed our cytokine/chemokine array data and quantitative ELISA data from both mouse and patient-derived specimens. CCL3, CCL12, CCL4, and CXCL12 (SDF-1) were aberrantly produced by Ptpn11 mutated MSPCs

Snai2 maintains bone marrow niche cells by repressing osteopontin expression

Project description:Bone marrow (BM) mesenchymal stem and progenitor cells (MSPCs) are a critical constituent of the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) niche. Previous studies have suggested that the zinc-finger epithelial-mesenchymal transition transcription factor Snai2 (also known as Slug) regulated HSCs autonomously. Here, we show that Snai2 expression in the BM is restricted to the BM stromal compartment where it regulates the HSC niche. Germline or MSPC-selective Snai2 deletion reduces the functional MSPC pool, their mesenchymal lineage output, and impairs HSC niche function during homeostasis and after stress. RNA-sequencing analysis revealed that Spp1 (osteopontin) expression is markedly upregulated in Snai2-deficient MSPCs. Genetic deletion of Spp1 in Snai2-deficient mice, rescues MSPCs’ functions. Thus, SNAI2 is a critical regulator of the transcriptional network maintaining MSPCs by the suppression of osteopontin expression.

Human ASXL1-Mutant Hematopoiesis Is Driven by a Truncated Protein Associated with Aberrant Deubiquitination of H2AK119

Project description:Mutations in additional sex combs like 1 (ASXL1) confer poor prognosis in myeloid malignancies and are also found in pre-malignant clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP). However, the mechanisms by which these mutations contribute to disease initiation remain unresolved and therapeutic targeting has remained elusive. Here, we demonstrate that ASXL1 mutations are frequently founding lesions in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and lead to the expression of a functional, truncated protein. We developed a human disease model that faithfully recapitulates ASXL1-mutant CHIP with increased self-renewal and in vivo competitive advantage that can spontaneously progress to a lethal myeloid malignancy. We determined that truncated ASXL1 leads to global redistribution of the repressive chromatin mark H2AK119Ub, increased chromatin accessibility, and activation of both myeloid and stem cell gene expression programs. Finally, we identified dysregulation of H2AK119Ub as a therapeutic vulnerability and demonstrated that ASXL1-mutant cells are vulnerable to inhibition of the PRC1 complex.

RNA sequencing of zebrafish asxl1+/+ and asxl1-/-

Project description:ASXL1 gene is one of the most frequently mutated genes in malignant myeloid diseases. In patients, ASXL1 mutations are usually heterozygous frameshift or non-sense mutations leading to C-terminal truncation. Here, we generated an endogenous C-terminal truncated Asxl1 mutant in zebrafish which is more comparable to human malignant leukemia patients. Our data showed that at embryonic stage, neutrophil differentiation was explicitly blocked in our mutant. To understand the basis for the impairment of neutrophil differentiation in zebrafish asxl1 mutants, we performed RNA-seq of asxl1 mutants at 3dpf and their littermate controls. Similar with the phenotype we observed, the expression of neutrophil markers were all included in down-regulated genes. Nonetheless, the expression of myeloid progenitor marker and macrophage marker were not impaired in asxl1 mutants. We also found inflammatory cytokine and matrix metalloproteinases were upregulated after mutated asxl1. It suggests that neutrophil deficiency may stimulate the expression of some inflammatory cytokines and enhances the inflammatory responds. Therefore, transcriptome analysis mainly represented the disruption of neutrophil development.
