Project description:Aneuploidy and structural aberrations affecting chromosome 21 (Hsa21) are the most frequent in cytogentic events in acute myeloid leukemia. However, it remains unclear why leukemic blasts select for amplifications of Hsa21 or parts of it and why children with Down syndrome (i.e. trisomy 21) are at a high risk of developing leukemia. Here, we propose that disequilibrium of the RUNX1 isoforms and resultant RUNX1A dominance are key to trisomy 21-associated leukemogenesis. Using a Hsa21-focussed CRISPR-Cas9 screen, we uncovered a strong and specific RUNX1 dependency in myeloid leukemia associated with Down syndrome (ML-DS). High levels of RUNX1A – as seen in ML-DS – synergized with the pathognomonic Gata1s mutation in ML-DS pathogenesis, an effect that was reversed upon restoration of the normal RUNX1A:RUNX1C equilibrium. Mechanistically, RUNX1A displaces RUNX1C from its endogenous binding sites and recruits the MYC cofactor MAX to induce oncogenic programs and perturb normal differentiation. This presents a therapeutic vulnerability that can be exploited by interfering with MYC:MAX dimerization. Our study highlights the importance of alternative splicing in leukemogenesis, and paves the way for developing specific and targeted therapies for ML-DS as well as for other leukemias with Hsa21 aneuploidy or RUNX1 isoform disequilibrium.

Project description:Children with Down syndrome have a 150-fold increased risk of developing myeloid leukemia. As Down syndrome leukemogenesis initiates during fetal development, we sought to characterize the cellular mechanisms of preleukemic initiation and leukemic progression using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing in human disomic and trisomic fetal liver hematopoietic cells and xenotransplantation. Compared to disomic fetal liver, trisomy 21 initiated atypical fetal hematopoiesis, in part through up-regulation of chromosome 21 miRNAs. GATA1 mutations caused transient preleukemia only when introduced into trisomy 21 long-term hematopoietic stem cells. By contrast, progression to leukemia was independent of trisomy 21 and originated in a wide spectrum of stem and progenitor cells through additional mutations in cohesin genes such as STAG2. CD117+ cells mediated the propagation and progression of the preleukemic and leukemic disease. Treatment with small molecule CD117/KIT inhibitors efficiently targeted preleukemic stem cells and blocked progression to leukemia; thereby laying the groundwork for early prevention strategies in Down syndrome newborns.

Project description:We generated human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from trisomy 21 (T21) and euploid patient tissues with and without GATA1 mutations causing exclusive expression of truncated GATA1, termed GATA1short (GATA1s). Transcriptome analysis comparing expression levels of genes in GATA1s vs. wtGATA1-expressing progenitors demonstrated that GATA1s impairs erythropoiesis and enhances megakaryopoiesis and myelopoiesis in both T21 and euploid contexts in the iPSC-model system.

Project description:Inversion of chromosome 16 is a consistent finding in patients with acute myeloid leukemia subtype M4 with eosinophilia (AML M4Eo), which generates a CBFB-MYH11 fusion gene. It is generally considered that CBFβ-SMMHC, the fusion protein encoded by CBFB-MYH11, is a dominant negative repressor of RUNX1. However, recent findings challenge the RUNX1-repression model for CBFβ-SMMHC mediated leukemogenesis. To definitively address the role of Runx1 in CBFB-MYH11 induced leukemia, we crossed conditional Runx1 knockout mice (Runx1f/f) with conditional Cbfb-MYH11 knockin mice (Cbfb+/56M). Upon Mx1-Cre activation in hematopoietic cells induced by poly (I:C) injection, all Mx1-CreCbfb+/56M mice developed leukemia in 5 months while no leukemia developed in Runx1f/fMx1-CreCbfb+/56M mice, and this effect was cell autonomous. Importantly, the abnormal myeloid progenitors (AMPs), a leukemia initiating cell population induced by Cbfb-MYH11 in the bone marrow, decreased and disappeared in Runx1f/fMx1-CreCbfb+/56M mice. RNA-seq analysis of AMP cells showed that genes associated with proliferation, differentiation blockage and leukemia initiation, were differentially expressed between Mx1-CreCbfb+/56M and Runx1f/fMx1-CreCbfb+/56M mice. In addition, with chromatin immunocleavage sequencing (ChIC-seq) assay, we observed a significant enrichment of RUNX1/CBFβ-SMMHC target genes in Runx1f/fMx1-CreCbfb+/56M cells, especially among down-regulated genes, suggesting that RUNX1 and CBFβ-SMMHC mainly function together as activators of gene expression through direct target gene binding. These data indicate that Runx1 is indispensable for Cbfb-MYH11 induced leukemogenesis by working together with CBFβ-SMMHC to regulate critical genes associated with the generation of a functional AMP population.

Project description:Human histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) plays an important role in gene transcription in diseased human cells, such as leukemia. The t(8;21) chromosomal translocation is one of the most commonly observed genetic abnormalities associated with acute myeloid leukemia. This translocation generates the AML1-ETO fusion protein between the wild-type RUNX1 transcription factor and wild-type ETO transcriptional corepressor. To better understand the role of HDAC3 in t(8;21) leukemogenesis, the human HDAC3-containing complexes were isolated from stably-transfected HeLa cells by using anti-FLAG immunoprecipitation. The resulting complexes were resolved in SDS-PAGE. The components of the complexes were identified using LC-MS/MS. We report here that the human RUNX1 transcription is a component of the HDAC3 complexes. We demonstrate that HDAC3 and RUNX1 collaboratively repress AML1-ETO-mediated transcription. These results reveal new insight into how AML1-ETO, RUNX1, and HDAC3 crosstalk to deregulate gene transcription in t(8;21) leukemia cells.

Project description:Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL) is more frequently seen in Down syndrome patients, where it is often preceded by a transient myeloproliferative disorder (DS-TMD). The development of DS-TMD and DS-AMKL require not only the presence of the trisomy 21 but also that of GATA1 mutations. However, despite extensive studies into the genetics of DS-AMKL, not much is known about the epigenetic deregulation associated with this disease. In order to understand how epigenetic changes at the DNA methylation level contribute to DS leukemogenesis we performed DNA methylation profiling at different stages of development of this disease and analyzed the dynamics of epigenetic reprogramming. Early genome-wide epigenetic changes can be detected in trisomy 21 fetal liver mononuclear cells, even prior to the development of hematological abnormalities. These early changes are characterized by marked loss of DNA methylation at genes associated with regulation of key developmental processes. This first wave of aberrant DNA hypomethylation is followed by a second wave of epigenetic reprogramming detected in blast cells from DS-TMD and DS-AMKL, characterized by gains of methylation. This second wave of hypermethylation targets a distinct set of genes, preferentially affecting genes involved in hematopoiesis and regulation of cell growth and proliferation. DNA methylation profiles obtained at different stages of the development of Down syndrome AMKL and from CD41+ cells from partial trisomic mice

Project description:Children with trisomy 21 (T21) are highly predisposed to acute myeloid leukemia, which is preceded by a pre-leukemic transient abnormal myelopoiesis driven by truncating mutations in GATA1 (GATA1s). We investigated gene expression profiles in T21 and isogenic euploid hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), in combination GATA1s and STAG2 mutations associated with T21 myeloid leukemia. We identified upregulation of interferon alpha/gamma responses and ribosome subunit pathways in gene set enrichment analysis in T21 versus euploid CD45+ hematopoietic cells, whereas pathways regulating genome integrity including mitotic spindle and G2/M checkpoint were downregulated. GATA1s in T21 cells led to downregulation of heme metabolism and apoptosis pathways as well as a further significant increase in the average expression of genes on chromosome 21. These results suggest that T21 and GATA1s mutations cooperate to disrupt normal HPC functions and cause myeloid lineage skewing.
