The MLL-AF9 and MLL-AF4 oncofusion proteins bind a distinct enhancer repertoire and target the RUNX1 program in MLLr AML

ABSTRACT: In MLL-rearranged (MLLr) leukemias the N terminal part of the MLL gene can be fused to over 60 different partner genes. Here, we investigate the genome wide binding of the MLL-AF9 and MLL-AF4 fusion proteins and their epigenetic signatures in order to define a core set of MLLr targets. We uncover both common as well as specific MLL-AF9 and MLL-AF4 target genes, which are all marked by H3K79me2, H3K27ac, and H3K4me3. Apart from promoter binding, we also identify MLL-AF9 and MLL-AF4 binding at specific subsets of non overlapping active distal regulatory elements. Despite this differential enhancer binding MLL-AF9 and MLL-AF4 still share a common gene program, which represents part of the RUNX1 gene program and constitutes of CD34+ and monocyte specific genes. Comparing these datasets revealed several zinc finger transcription factors as potential MLL-AF9 co-regulators. Together these results suggest that MLL-fusions collaborate with specific subsets of TFs to aberrantly regulate the RUNX1 gene program in 11q23 AMLs.

Protein Interactions of 7 MLL-fusion Proteins

Project description:MLL-fusions represent a large group of leukemia drivers, whose diversity originates from the vast molecular heterogeneity of C-terminal fusion partners of MLL protein. While studies of selected MLL-fusions have revealed critical molecular pathways, unifying mechanisms across all MLL-fusions remain poorly understood. We present the first comprehensive survey of protein-protein interactions of seven distantly related MLL-fusion proteins: MLL-AF1p, MLL-AF4, MLL-AF9, MLL-CBP, MLL-EEN, MLL-ENL and MLL-GAS7.

Inhibition of DOT1L and PRMT5 promote synergistic anti-tumor activity in a human MLL leukemia model induced by CRISPR/Cas9

Project description:Previous studies have identified frequent MLL-AF4 chromosomal translocation breakpoints in patients. Using CRISPRscan, we designed different sgRNAs recognizing patient-specific sequences in intron 11 of the MLL and exon 3 of the AF4 genes, respectively. Using plasmid- and virus-free delivery of sgRNAs with Cas9 protein, we nucleofected CD34+ target cells derived from human umbilical cord blood. Following nucleofection, the cells were maintained in liquid culture supplemented with cytokines and chemokines optimized for growth of MLLr cells. On day 30 (MLL-AF4) of liquid culture, MLL translocations were detcted in 100% of cells by FISH analysis allowing for further analysis of pure MLLr cells. MLL-AF4 translocated cells and the respective control cells from the two different donors were maintained in similar culture conditions. After reaching 100% purity of the MLLr cells, they were subjected to RNA-seq.

Three-dimensional chromatin landscapes in MLLr AML [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Rearrangements of the mixed lineage leukemia (MLLr) gene are frequently associated with both pediatric and adult leukemia. However, the treatment options for these aggressive MLLr leukemias are limited due to the genomic complexity and dynamics of 3D structure in oncogene transcription and leukemia development. Here, we use Micro-C and transcriptome profiling to examine the MLLr-driven aberrant 3D genome architecture in gene-edited MLL-AF9 AML samples with biologically matched healthy donors. Recurrent and MLLr-specific alterations in A/B compartments, topologically associating domains and chromatin loops were identified. RNA sequencing in the same AML samples also revealed extensive and recurrent MLLr-specific promoter–enhancer and promoter–silencer loops. Overall, this study highlights the critical regulatory elements and provides rational and effective targeting strategy in MLLr AML.

Instructive role of MLL fusion proteins revealed by a faithful model of t(4;11) proB acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Project description:The t(4;11)(q21;q23) fuses MLL to AF4, the most common MLL fusion partner. Here we show that MLL fused to murine Af4, highly conserved with human AF4, produces high-titer retrovirus permitting efficient transduction of human CD34+ cells to generate a faithful model of t(4;11) proB ALL that fully recapitulates the immunophenotypic and molecular aspects of the disease. MLL-Af4 induces a distinct B-ALL from MLL-AF9 through differential DNA binding of the fusion proteins leading to specific gene expression patterns. MLL-Af4 cells can assume a myeloid state under environmental pressure but retain lymphoid-lineage potential. We observed this incongruity in t(4;11) patients who evaded CD19-directed therapy by undergoing myeloid-lineage switch. Our model provides a valuable tool to unravel the pathogenesis of MLL-AF4 leukemogenesis.

H3K79me2/3 controls enhancer promoter interactions and activation of the pan-cancer stem cell marker PROM1/CD133 in MLL-AF4 leukemia cells (ATAC-seq)

Project description:MLL gene rearrangements (MLLr) are a common cause of aggressive, incurable acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALL) in infants and children, most of which originate in utero. The most common MLLr produces an MLL-AF4 fusion protein. MLL-AF4 promotes leukemogenesis by activating key target genes, mainly through recruitment of DOT1L and increased histone H3 lysine 79 methylation (H3K79me2/3). One key MLL-AF4 target gene is PROM1 which encodes CD133 (Prominin-1). CD133 is a pentaspan transmembrane glycoprotein that represents a potential pan-cancer target as it is found on multiple cancer stem cells. Here we demonstrate that aberrant PROM1/CD133 expression is essential for leukemic cell growth, mediated by direct binding of MLL-AF4. Activation is controlled by an intragenic H3K79me2/3 enhancer element (KEE) leading to increased enhancer-promoter interactions between PROM1 and the nearby gene TAPT1. This dual locus regulation is reflected in a strong correlation of expression in leukemia. We find that in PROM1/CD133 non-expressing cells, the PROM1 locus is repressed by polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) binding, associated with reduced expression of TAPT1, partially due to loss of interactions with the PROM1 locus. Together, these results provide the first detailed analysis of PROM1/CD133 regulation that explains CD133 expression in MLLr ALL.

Fusion partner directed chromatin occupancy drives the transcriptome heterogeneity of MLL-fusion acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Project description:Fusion of the N-terminus of the mixed-lineage-leukemia (MLL) gene with various partner genes drives acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Despite the fusion proteins sharing some common attributes, transcriptome heterogeneity of MLL-fusion ALL is observed and the underlying mechanism and biological consequences are unknown. We compared the genome-wide occupancy of MLL-Af4 and MLL-AF9 in human ALL cells expressing FLAG-tagged fusion proteins. Although both oncoproteins retain the same MLL N-terminal domains that mediate chromatin binding, the two fusion proteins displayed largely non-overlapping binding profiles, with MLL-AF9 showing preferential binding at repetitive elements. The binding specificity of each fusion protein was associated with differential global gene activation distinguishing the two ALLs. A subset of prednisolone response genes were among the differentially regulated targets, and the resistance related genes were specifically upregulated in MLL-Af4/AF4 cells. These studies provide evidence that distinct chromatin occupancy of different MLL-fusion proteins is one driving force for transcriptome heterogeneity of MLL-fusion ALL, which could potentially result in the disparate therapeutic outcome of the disease.
