AML associated oncofusion proteins PML-RARA, AML1-ETO and CBFB-MYH11 target RUNX/ETS-factor binding sites to modulate H3ac levels and drive leukemogenesis

ABSTRACT: Chromosomal translocations are one of the hallmarks of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), often leading to gene fusions and expression of an oncofusion protein. Over recent years it has become clear that most of the AML associated oncofusion proteins molecularly adopt distinct mechanisms for inducing leukemogenesis. Still these unique molecular properties of the chimeric proteins converge and give rise to a common pathogenic molecular mechanism. In the present study we compared genome-wide DNA binding and transcriptome data associated with AML1-ETO, CBFB-MYH11 and PML-RARA oncofusion protein expression (GSE46044, GSE23730, GSE30254 and GSE18886) to identify unique and common features. Our analyses revealed targeting of oncofusion binding sites to RUNX1 and ETS-factor occupied genomic regions. In addition, it revealed highly similar expression of common target genes and specific enrichment of several biological pathways critical for maintenance of AML, suggesting oncofusion proteins deregulate common gene programs despite their distinct binding signatures and mechanisms of action.

Oncofusion protein AML1-ETO targets ERG factor binding sites in AML

Project description:ERG has been identified as an essential factor for the function and maintenance of adult hematopoietic stem cells and high ERG expression is a negative prognostic marker for treatment outcome in AML. The molecular function of ERG and its interplay with other factors is however largely unknown. Here we demonstrate that ERG has cell type specific distributions in normal CD34+ myeloid progenitors and in AML cells and identify ERG as a potential pioneering protein for binding of oncofusion protein complexes. In addition, we identify H3 acetylation as the epigenetic mark preferentially associated with ERG binding. This intimate connection between ERG binding and H3 acetylation implies that one of the molecular strategies of the oncofusion proteins PML-RARa and AML1-ETO could involve the targeting of histone deacetylase activities to ETS factor bound hematopoietic regulatory sites. Examination of AML1-ETO, RUNX1, CBFb, HEB, FLI1 and ERG binding sites (ChIP-seq) in leukemic and normal hematopoietic cells, association with chromatin modifications and expression (RNA-seq) analysis of an AML1-ETO expressing cell line (SKNO-1)

Proteogenomic analysis reveals cytoplasmic sequestration of RUNX1 by the acute myeloid leukemia-initiating CBFB::MYH11 oncofusion protein.

Project description:Several canonical translocations produce oncofusion genes that can initiate acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Although each translocation is associated with unique features, the mechanisms responsible remain unclear. While proteins interacting with each oncofusion are known to be relevant for how they act, these interactions have not yet been systematically defined. To address this issue in an unbiased fashion, we fused a promiscuous biotin ligase (TurboID) in-frame with 3 favorable-risk AML oncofusion cDNAs (PML::RARA, RUNX1::RUNX1T1, and CBFB::MYH11) and identified their interacting proteins in primary murine hematopoietic cells. The PML::RARA- and RUNX1::RUNX1T1-TurboID fusion proteins labeled common and unique nuclear repressor complexes, implying their nuclear localization. However, CBFB::MYH11-TurboID-interacting proteins were largely cytoplasmic, probably because of an interaction of the MYH11 domain with several cytoplasmic myosin-related proteins. Using a variety of methods, we showed that the CBFB domain of CBFB::MYH11 sequesters RUNX1 in cytoplasmic aggregates; these findings were confirmed in primary human AML cells. Paradoxically, CBFB::MYH11 expression was associated with increased RUNX1/2 expression, suggesting the presence of a sensor for reduced functional RUNX1 protein, and a feedback loop that may attempt to compensate by increasing RUNX1/2 transcription. These findings may have broad implications for AML pathogenesis.

Acute myeloid leukemia with cryptic CBFB-MYH11 type D.

Project description:A 77 year-old female was found with FAB M4Eo acute myeloid leukemia. Although CBFB-MYH11 mRNA was detected in RT-PCR, the conventional cytogenetic analysis failed to reveal inv(16). Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and the sequence analysis revealed a fusion between the exon 5 of CBFB and the exon 8 of MYH11, resulting in a minor variant fusion product previously reported as type D. In order to detect the cryptic inv(16) type D, both FISH and RT-PCR are required, and furthermore, the primers for the sequence analysis needs to be selected for the proper diagnosis.

Cbfb/Runx1 repression-independent blockage of differentiation and accumulation of Csf2rb-expressing cells by Cbfb-MYH11.

Project description:It is known that CBFB-MYH11, the fusion gene generated by inversion of chromosome 16 in human acute myeloid leukemia, is causative for oncogenic transformation. However, the mechanism by which CBFB-MYH11 initiates leukemogenesis is not clear. Previously published reports showed that CBFB-MYH11 dominantly inhibits RUNX1 and CBFB, and such inhibition has been suggested as the mechanism for leukemogenesis. Here we show that Cbfb-MYH11 caused Cbfb/Runx1 repression-independent defects in both primitive and definitive hematopoiesis. During primitive hematopoiesis, Cbfb-MYH11 delayed differentiation characterized by sustained expression of Gata2, Il1rl1, and Csf2rb, a phenotype not found in Cbfb and Runx1 knockout mice. Expression of Cbfb-MYH11 in the bone marrow induced the accumulation of abnormal progenitor-like cells expressing Csf2rb in preleukemic mice. The expression of all 3 genes was detected in most human and murine CBFB-MYH11(+) leukemia samples. Interestingly, Cbfb-MYH11(+) preleukemic progenitors and leukemia-initiating cells did not express Csf2rb, although the majority of leukemia cells in our Cbfb-MYH11 knockin mice were Csf2rb(+). Therefore Csf2rb can be used as a negative selection marker to enrich preleukemic progenitor cells and leukemia-initiating cells from Cbfb-MYH11 mice. These results suggest that Cbfb/Runx1 repression-independent activities contribute to leukemogenesis by Cbfb-MYH11.

Chd7 deficiency delays leukemogenesis in mice induced by Cbfb-MYH11.

Project description:Inversion of chromosome 16 is a consistent finding in patients with acute myeloid leukemia subtype M4 with eosinophilia, which generates a CBFB-MYH11 fusion gene. Previous studies showed that the interaction between CBF?-smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (SMMHC; encoded by CBFB-MYH11) and RUNX1 plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of this leukemia. Recently, it was shown that chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein-7 (CHD7) interacts with RUNX1 and suppresses RUNX1-induced expansion of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. These results suggest that CHD7 is also critical for CBFB-MYH11-induced leukemogenesis. To test this hypothesis, we generated Chd7f/fMx1-CreCbfb+/56M mice, which expressed the Cbfb-MYH11 fusion gene and deactivated Chd7 in hematopoietic cells upon inducing Cre with polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid. The Lin-Sca1-c-Kit+ (LK) population was significantly lower in Chd7f/fMx1-CreCbfb+/56M mice than in Mx1-CreCbfb+/56M mice. In addition, there were fewer 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine-positive cells in the LK population in Chd7f/fMx1-CreCbfb+/56M mice, and genes associated with cell cycle, cell growth, and proliferation were differentially expressed between Chd7f/fMx1-CreCbfb+/56M and Mx1-CreCbfb+/56M leukemic cells. In vitro studies showed that CHD7 interacted with CBF?-SMMHC through RUNX1 and that CHD7 enhanced transcriptional activity of RUNX1 and CBF?-SMMHC on Csf1r, a RUNX1 target gene. Moreover, RNA sequencing of c-Kit+ cells showed that CHD7 functions mostly through altering the expression of RUNX1 target genes. Most importantly, Chd7 deficiency delayed Cbfb-MYH11-induced leukemia in both primary and transplanted mice. These data indicate that Chd7 is important for Cbfb-MYH11-induced leukemogenesis by facilitating RUNX1 regulation of transcription and cellular proliferation.

KIT with D816 mutations cooperates with CBFB-MYH11 for leukemogenesis in mice.

Project description:KIT mutations are the most common secondary mutations in inv(16) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients and are associated with poor prognosis. It is therefore important to verify that KIT mutations cooperate with CBFB-MYH11, the fusion gene generated by inv(16), for leukemogenesis. Here, we transduced wild-type and conditional Cbfb-MYH11 knockin (KI) mouse bone marrow (BM) cells with KIT D816V/Y mutations. KIT transduction caused massive BM Lin(-) cell death and fewer colonies in culture that were less severe in the KI cells. D816Y KIT but not wild-type KIT enhanced proliferation in Lin(-) cells and led to more mixed lineage colonies from transduced KI BM cells. Importantly, 60% and 80% of mice transplanted with KI BM cells expressing D816V or D816Y KIT, respectively, died from leukemia within 9 months, whereas no control mice died. Results from limiting dilution transplantations indicate higher frequencies of leukemia-initiating cells in the leukemia expressing mutated KIT. Signaling pathway analysis revealed that p44/42 MAPK and Stat3, but not AKT and Stat5, were strongly phosphorylated in the leukemia cells. Finally, leukemia cells carrying KIT D816 mutations were sensitive to the kinase inhibitor PKC412. Our data provide clear evidence for cooperation between mutated KIT and CBFB-MYH11 during leukemogenesis.

Expression data from wild type, CBFB-MYH11-overexpressing, DNMT3A knockdown and RUNX1 knockdown K562 cells

Project description:We searched for genes which are mutated in a manner that is linked with gene mutations involved in DNA de/methylation in AML. We found that recurrent CBFB-MYH11 fusions, which result in the expression of fusion protein comprising core-binding factor β (CBFB) and myosin heavy chain 11 (MYH11), occur mutually exclusively with DNMT3A mutations. The CBFB-MYH11 fusion tumors show DNA hypomethylation patterns similar to cancers with loss-of-function mutation of DNMT3A. Expression of CBFB-MYH11 fusion protein or inhibition of DNMT3A similarly impairs the methylation and expression of target genes of Runt related transcription factor 1 (RUNX1), a functional partner of CBFB. We demonstrate that RUNX1 directly interacts with DNMT3A and that CBFB-MYH11 fusion protein sequesters RUNX1 in the cytoplasm, thereby preventing RUNX1 from interacting with and recruiting DNMT3A to its target genes. Our results identify a novel regulation of DNA methylation and provide a molecular basis how CBFB-MYH11 fusion contributes to leukemogenesis.

CBFB-MYH11 fusion neoantigen enables T cell recognition and killing of acute myeloid leukemia.

Project description:Proteins created from recurrent fusion genes like CBFB-MYH11 are prevalent in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), often necessary for leukemogenesis, persistent throughout the disease course, and highly leukemia specific, making them attractive neoantigen targets for immunotherapy. A nonameric peptide derived from a prevalent CBFB-MYH11 fusion protein was found to be immunogenic in HLA-B*40:01+ donors. High-avidity CD8+ T cell clones isolated from healthy donors killed CBFB-MYH11+ HLA-B*40:01+ AML cell lines and primary human AML samples in vitro. CBFB-MYH11-specific T cells also controlled CBFB-MYH11+ HLA-B*40:01+ AML in vivo in a patient-derived murine xenograft model. High-avidity CBFB-MYH11 epitope-specific T cell receptors (TCRs) transduced into CD8+ T cells conferred antileukemic activity in vitro. Our data indicate that the CBFB-MYH11 fusion neoantigen is naturally presented on AML blasts and enables T cell recognition and killing of AML. We provide proof of principle for immunologically targeting AML-initiating fusions and demonstrate that targeting neoantigens has clinical relevance even in low-mutational frequency cancers like fusion-driven AML. This work also represents a first critical step toward the development of TCR T cell immunotherapy targeting fusion gene-driven AML.
