Project description:Differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is regulated by a concert of different transcription factors (TFs). A disturbed function of TFs can be the basis of (pre)malignancies such as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Growth Factor Independence 1b (Gfi1b) is a repressing TF with a key role in quiescence of HSCs and emergence and maturation of erythrocytes and platelets. Here, we show that low expression of GFI1B in blast cells is associated with inferior prognosis of MDS and AML patients. Using mouse models with either reduced expression or conditional deletion of Gfi1b, crossed with a mouse model reflecting human MDS or AML, we demonstrate that AML development was accelerated with heterozygous loss of Gfi1b, and latency was further decreased when Gfi1b was conditionally deleted. Loss of Gfi1b significantly enhanced stemness of leukemic cells with upregulation of genes fundamentally involved in leukemia development. On a molecular level, we found that loss of Gfi1b not only increased the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) but also induced gene expression changes of key AML pathways such as the p38/AKT pathway. These results demonstrate that Gfi1b functions as an oncosuppressor in MDS/AML development.

Project description:Differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells is regulated by a concert of different transcription factors. Disturbed transcription factor function can be the basis of (pre)malignancies such as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Growth factor independence 1b (Gfi1b) is a repressing transcription factor regulating quiescence of hematopoietic stem cells and differentiation of erythrocytes and platelets. Here, we show that low expression of Gfi1b in blast cells is associated with an inferior prognosis of MDS and AML patients. Using different models of human MDS or AML, we demonstrate that AML development was accelerated with heterozygous loss of Gfi1b, and latency was further decreased when Gfi1b was conditionally deleted. Loss of Gfi1b significantly increased the number of leukemic stem cells with upregulation of genes involved in leukemia development. On a molecular level, we found that loss of Gfi1b led to epigenetic changes, increased levels of reactive oxygen species, as well as alteration in the p38/Akt/FoXO pathways. These results demonstrate that Gfi1b functions as an oncosuppressor in MDS and AML development.

Project description:The zinc finger protein and SNAG domain transcription factor Gfi1b is highly expressed in hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and in megakaryocytes (MKs). Deletion of Gfi1b in mice leads to a drastic expansion of both cell types, suggesting that Gfi1b controls their proliferation. Here we present evidence that Gfi1b exerts this control by modulating the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway. We can show that Gfi1b binds to beta-catenin and is part of a larger complex that contains β-catenin co-factors. Gfi1b activates beta-catenin/TCF mediated transcription and is required for the activity of beta-catenin target gene promoter driven reporter genes in vivo. This is dependent of the ability of Gfi1b to recruit the histone modifying enzyme lysine demethylase 1 (LSD1) to β-catenin containing complexes. Moreover, LSD1 enhances the Gfi1b-mediated activation of beta-catenin/TCF dependent transcription. Both Gfi1b deficient HSCs and MKs show de-regulation of expression of many sets on Wnt/β-catenin target genes and Gfi1b and β-catenin co-occupy the promoters of many common target genes. Finally, activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in Gfi1b deficient HSCs and MKs significantly reduces their expansion, which confirms that Gfi1b is a critical factor controlling the cellularity of HSCs and MKs and exerts this function by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in these cells.

Project description:The transcription factor Growth Factor Independence 1B (GFI1B) recruits Lysine Specific Demethylase 1A (LSD1/KDM1A) to stimulate gene programs relevant for megakaryocyte and platelet biology. Inherited pathogenic GFI1B variants result in thrombocytopenia and bleeding propensities with varying intensity. Whether these affect similar gene programs is unknow. Here we studied transcriptomic effects of four patient-derived GFI1B variants (GFI1BT174N,H181Y,R184P,Q287*) in MEG01 megakaryoblasts. Compared to normal GFI1B, each variant affected different gene programs with GFI1BQ287* uniquely failing to repress myeloid traits. In line with this, single cell RNA-sequencing of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived megakaryocytes revealed a 4.5-fold decrease in the megakaryocyte/myeloid cell ratio in GFI1BQ287* versus normal conditions. Inhibiting the GFI1B-LSD1 interaction with small molecule GSK-LSD1 resulted in activation of myeloid genes in normal iPSC-derived megakaryocytes similar as observed for GFI1BQ287* iPSC-derived megakaryocytes. Thus, GFI1B and LSD1 facilitate gene programs relevant for megakaryopoiesis while simultaneously repressing programs that induce myeloid differentiation.

Project description:In spite of the recent discovery of genetic mutations in most MDS, pathophysiology of those disorders remain poorly known, and few animal are available. We performed global exome specific gene expression profiling and functional pathway analysis in purified Sca1+ spleen cells of two MDS transgenic mouse models developed by our group. Those models mimic high-risk MDS (HR MDS) and AML post MDS, depending on the transgene promoters used (MRP8NRASD12/tethBCL-2 and MRP8NRASD12/MRP8hBCL-2 respectively). We found common deregulated pathways in both models showing disease continuum. The most significantly deregulated pathways identified have previously been reported in MDS patients such as cell cycle, DNA replication/damage/repair, apoptosis, immune responses and canonical Wnt pathways. Interestingly, this analysis highlights other deregulated pathways such as non-canonical Wnt pathways including Rho signaling and circadian rhythm that may be critical in a human MDS setting.
