Genetic analysis of Ikaros target genes and tumor suppressor function in BCR-ABL1+ pre-B ALL [ChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: ChIP-seq was performed in patient-derived BCR-ABL1+ (Ph+) pre-B ALL cells that harbor heterozygote deletions of the IKZF1 DNA binding domain (Ik6), using cells that inducibly express wild-type Ikaros (Ik1) or an empty vector control.

Project description:Deletions within the human IKZF1 gene, which encodes Ikaros, a zinc finger transcription factor critical for lymphopoiesis, appear to be the most prominent recurring lesion in human BCR-ABL1+ (Ph+) B-ALL. Furthermore, IKZF1 mutations correlate with poor prognosis of progenitor B-ALL, further strengthening the notion that IKZF1 is a critical tumor suppressor gene in human B-lineage malignancies. To better understand the relationship between Ikzf1 mutations, BCR-ABL, and B-lineage leukemia, we examined the effect of two newly generated Ikzf1 germline mutation on BCR-ABL-induced proliferation and leukemogenesis in vitro and in vivo. We recently showed that deletion of either the exon encoding the first or the fourth DNA-binding zinc finger of Ikaros (IkZnF1-/- and IkZnF4-/-) led to distinct defects in lymphoid development and tumor suppression with de-regulation of distinct subsets of genes, providing a powerful tool for elucidation of Ikaros target genes and mechanism of function. Importantly, IkZnF4-/- had lost Ikaros tumor suppression function, while not abolishing B-cell development. Retroviral expression of BCR-ABL1 p185 in bone marrow cells from the two Ikzf1 mutant strains demonstrated that loss of ZnF4 resulted in expansion of progenitor B cells, with enhanced proliferation in vitro and a less mature cell surface B-cell phenotype in comparison to transduced wild-type bone marrow. Furthermore, in an in vivo model of BCR-ABL+ B-ALL, leukemias generated in the IkZnF4-/- background were more aggressive than those observed in a wild-type background, with cell phenotype corresponding to the in vitro cell cultures. Genome wide high throughput expression analysis (RNA-Seq) revealed a distinct subset of deregulated genes in the IkZnF4-/- BCR-ABL+ in vitro cell cultures, and molecular analysis demonstrated that this in vitro system is amendable for functional studies. These results establish a mouse model for studying the role of Ikzf1 mutations in B-ALL, and for understanding how BCR-ABL collaborates with Ikzf1 mutations to generate aggressive B-ALL.
