Project description:Splicing factor SF3B1 mutations are frequent somatic lesions in myeloid neoplasms that transform hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) by inducing mis-splicing of target genes. However, the molecular and functional consequences of SF3B1 mutations in human HSCs remain unclear. Here, we identify the mis-splicing program in human HSCs as a targetable vulnerability by precise gene editing of SF3B1 K700E mutations in primary CD34+ cells. Mutant SF3B1 induced pervasive mis-splicing and reduced expression of genes regulating mitosis in single cell transcriptomics, critically BUBR1 and CDC27, leading to altered differentiation and delayed G2/M progression. Mutant SF3B1 mis-splicing or reduced expression of BUBR1 and CDC27 was sufficient to delay G2/M transit, leading to activation of CHK1, sensitizing cells to CHK1 inhibition. Clinical CHK1 inhibitor prexasertib selectively targeted SF3B1-mutant HSCs and abrogated engraftment in vivo. These findings identify mis-splicing of mitotic regulators in SF3B1-mutant HSCs as a targetable vulnerability engaged by pharmacological CHK1 inhibition.

Project description:Splicing factor SF3B1 mutations are frequent somatic lesions in myeloid neoplasms that transform hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) by inducing mis-splicing of target genes. However, the molecular and functional consequences of SF3B1 mutations in human HSCs and progenitors (HSPCs) remain unclear. Here, we identify the mis-splicing program in human HSPCs as a targetable vulnerability by precise gene editing of SF3B1 K700E mutations in primary CD34+ cells. Mutant SF3B1 induced pervasive mis-splicing and reduced expression of genes regulating mitosis and genome maintenance leading to altered differentiation, delayed G2/M progression, and profound sensitivity to CHK1 inhibition (CHK1i). Mis-splicing or reduced expression of mitotic regulators BUBR1 and CDC27 delayed G2/M transit and promoted CHK1i sensitivity. Clinical CHK1i prexasertib selectively targeted SF3B1-mutant immunophenotypic HSCs and abrogated engraftment in vivo. These findings identify mis-splicing of mitotic regulators in SF3B1-mutant HSPCs as a targetable vulnerability engaged by pharmacological CHK1 inhibition. Significance: In this study, we engineer precise SF3B1 mutations in human HSPCs and identify CHK1 inhibition as a selective vulnerability promoted by mis-splicing of mitotic regulators. These findings uncover the mis-splicing program induced by mutant SF3B1 in human HSPCs and show that it can be therapeutically targeted by clinical CHK1 inhibitors.

Project description:Mutations in the RNA splicing factor gene SF3B1 are common across hematologic and solid cancers and result in widespread alterations in splicing, but therapeutic means to correct this mis-splicing do not exist. Here, we utilize synthetic introns uniquely responsive to mutant SF3B1 to identify trans factors required for aberrant mutant SF3B1 splicing activity. This revealed the G-patch domain-containing protein GPATCH8 as required for mutant SF3B1-induced splicing alterations and impaired hematopoiesis. GPATCH8 is involved in quality control of branchpoint selection, interacts with the RNA helicase DHX15, and functionally opposes SUGP1, a G-patch protein recently implicated in SF3B1-mutant diseases. Silencing of GPATCH8 corrected one-third of mutant SF3B1-dependent splicing defects and was sufficient to improve dysfunctional hematopoiesis in SF3B1-mutant mouse and primary human progenitors. These data identify GPATCH8 as a novel splicing factor required for mis-splicing by mutant SF3B1 and highlight the therapeutic impact of correcting aberrant splicing in SF3B1-mutant cancers.

Project description:Purpose: Mutant SF3B1 is near universally associated with MDS-RS but the exact mechanism of how mutant-SF3B1 induces ring sideroblast formation is unclear. Methods: iPSC samples were differentiated from 5F-HPC derived from MDS-RS patient iPSCs. CD34+ progenitors were isolated using the CD34 enrichment kit (Miltenyi). CD34-CD71+GlyA- pro-erythroblasts were isolated by flow sorting on day 4. CD71+GlyA+ erythroblasts were isolated by flow sorting on day 9. Libraries with DNA fragments of ~300bp were selected using AMPure XP bead purification. Purified libraries were sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 using paired-end, 50 bp reads. Mis-splicing analysis was performed as described in Inoue et al. 2019. Results: Mis-splicing analysis reveals ~100 genes that are strongly mis-spliced (>40%) by mutant SF3B1 during erythroid differentiation. We identify that mis-splicing of TMEM14C and ABCB7 contribute to RS formation in mutant SF3B1 cells. Conclusion: Our iPS derived mutant SF3B1MDS-RS in vitro model is the first demonstration of a cell line that recapitulates mis-splicing, erythroid differentiation, and ring sideroblast formation.

Project description:SF3B1 K700E is the most frequent mutation in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), but the mechanisms by which it drives MDS pathogenesis remain unclear. We derived a panel of 18 genetically matched SF3B1 K700E- and SF3B1 WT-induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from patients with MDS with ring sideroblasts (MDS-RS) harboring isolated SF3B1 K700E mutations and performed RNA and ATAC sequencing in purified CD34+/CD45+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) derived from them. We developed a novel computational framework integrating splicing with transcript usage and gene expression analyses and derived a SF3B1 K700E splicing signature consisting of 59 splicing events linked to 34 genes, which associates with the SF3B1 mutational status of primary MDS patient cells. The chromatin landscape of SF3B1 K700E HSPCs showed increased priming toward the megakaryocyte- erythroid lineage. Transcription factor motifs enriched in chromatin regions more accessible in SF3B1 K700E cells included, unexpectedly, motifs of the TEAD family. TEAD expression and transcriptional activity were upregulated in SF3B1-mutant iPSC-HSPCs, in support of a Hippo pathway-independent role of TEAD as a potential novel transcriptional regulator of SF3B1 K700E cells. This study provides a comprehensive characterization of the transcriptional and chromatin landscape of SF3B1 K700E HSPCs and nominates novel mis-spliced genes and transcriptional programs with putative roles in MDS-RS disease biology.
