Project description:FLT3ITD are common mutations in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and carry a particularly bad prognosis. Although new generation FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) have shown promising results, the outcome of FLT3-mutated AML patients remains poor and demands the identification of novel, specific and validated therapeutic targets for this highly aggressive AML subtype. Utilizing an unbiased genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screen, we identify GLS, the first enzyme in glutamine metabolism, as synthetically lethal with FLT3 TKI treatment. Using complementary metabolomic and gene-expression analysis, we demonstrate that glutamine metabolism, through its ability to support both mitochondrial function and cellular redox metabolism, becomes a metabolic dependency of FLT3ITD AML, specifically unmasked by FLT3-TKI treatment. We extend these findings to AML subtypes driven by other tyrosine kinase activating mutations, and validate the role of GLS as a clinically actionable therapeutic target in both primary AML and in vivo models. Our work highlights the role of metabolic adaptations as a resistance mechanism to several TKI inhibitors, and suggests glutaminolysis as a therapeutically targetable vulnerability when combined with specific TKI in FLT3ITD and other TK activating mutation driven leukemias.

Project description:ITD mutations in the FLT3 gene occur in the 30% of acute myeloid leukemia patients. The integration of ITD in the tyrosine kinase domain (TKD-ITD) of the FLT3 receptor has been shown to confer resistance to standard chemotherapy treatment. We applied state-of-the-art, high-sensitive, mass spectrometry (MS)-based (phospho)proteomics to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the sensitivity to cytarabine therapy in FLT3-ITD cells.

Project description:Internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutations within the FMS-like receptor tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) can be found in up to 25~30% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients and confer a poor prognosis. Although FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have shown clinical responses, the overall outcome of FLT3-ITD+ AML patients remains poor, and most of them would relapse very shortly. TKIs can not eliminate primitive FLT3-ITD+ AML cells, which are potential sources of relapse. Therefore, elucidating the mechanisms underlying FLT3-ITD+ AML maintenance and drug resistance is essential to develop novel, effective treatment strategies. Here, we demonstrate that FLT3 inhibition induces histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) upregulation through FOXO1 and FOXO3-mediated transactivation in FLT3-ITD+ AML cells. Upregulated HDAC8 deacetylates and inactivates p53, leading to leukemia maintenance and drug resistance upon TKIs treatment. Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of HDAC8 re-activates p53, abrogates leukemia maintenance and significantly enhances TKI-mediated elimination of FLT3-ITD+ AML cells. Importantly, in FLT3-ITD+ AML patient-derived xenograft models, the combination of FLT3 TKI (AC220) with a HDAC8 inhibitor (22d) significantly inhibits leukemia progression and effectively reduces primitive FLT3-ITD+ AML cells. Moreover, we extend these findings to an AML subtype harboring another tyrosine kinase activating mutation. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that HDAC8 upregulation as an important mechanism to resist TKIs and promote leukemia maintenance, and suggests that combining HDAC8 inhibition with TKI treatment could be a promising strategy to treat FLT3-ITD+ AML and other tyrosine kinase mutation-harboring leukemias.

Project description:The presence of FLT3-ITD mutations in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is associated with poor clinical outcome. FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), although effective in kinase ablation, do not eliminate FLT3-ITD+ leukemia stem cells (LSCs) which are potential sources of disease relapse, prompting us to ask whether FLT3-ITD protein regulates the AML LSCs survival through a kinase-independent mechanism. Here, we show that expression of PRMT1, the primary type I arginine methyltransferase, significantly increases in LSC-enriched CD34+CD38- populations relative to normal counterparts. Genetic PRMT1 depletion blocked AML CD34+ cell survival, and had more potent effects in AML cells from patients harboring FLT3-ITD. Our genome wide analysis of gene expression and PRMT1 conditional KO mouse study confirmed that PRMT1 preferentially cooperates with FLT3-ITD contributing to AML cell maintenance. Mechanistically, PRMT1 catalyzed FLT3-ITD protein methylation at arginines 972/973, and PRMT1 promoted leukemia cell growth in a FLT3 methylation-dependent manner. Moreover, effects of FLT3-ITD methylation in AML cells were in part due to crosstalk with FLT3-ITD phosphorylation at tyrosine 969 (Y969). Importantly, FLT3 methylation persisted in FLT3-ITD+ AML cells following TKI (AC220) treatment, indicating that methylation occurs independently of kinase activity. Finally, in both patient-derived xenograft (PDX) and murine AML models, combined administration of AC220 with a type I PRMT inhibitor (MS023) enhanced elimination of FLT3-ITD+ AML relative to AC220 treatment alone. Our study demonstrates that PRMT1-mediated FLT3 methylation promotes LSC activity and suggests that combining PRMT1 inhibition with FLT3 TKI treatment could be a promising approach to selectively target FLT3-ITD+ LSCs.

Project description:Internal tandem duplications in the tyrosine kinase receptor FLT3 (FLT3-ITD) are among the most common lesions in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and there exists a need for new forms of treatment. Using ex vivo drug sensitivity screening, we found that FLT3-ITD+ patient cells are particularly sensitive to HSP90 inhibitors. While it is well known that HSP90 is important for FLT3-ITD stability, we found that HSP90 family members play a much more complex role in FLT3-ITD signaling than previously appreciated. First, we found that FLT3-ITD activates the unfolded protein response (UPR), leading to increased expression of GRP94/HSP90B1. GRP94 rewires FLT3-ITD signaling by binding and retaining FLT3-ITD in the ER, where it aberrantly activates downstream signaling pathways. Second, HSP90 family proteins protect FLT3-ITD+ AML cells against apoptosis by alleviating proteotoxic stress, and treatment with HSP90 inhibitors results in proteotoxic overload that triggers UPR-induced apoptosis. Importantly, leukemic stem cells are strongly dependent upon HSP90 for their survival, and the HSP90 inhibitor ganetespib causes leukemic stem cell exhaustion in mouse PDX models. Taken together, our study reveals a molecular basis for HSP90 addiction of FLT3-ITD+ AML cells and provides a rationale for including HSP90 inhibitors in the treatment regime for FLT3-ITD+ AML.

Project description:The FLT3-ITD mutation is associated with poor prognosis in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) demonstrate clinical efficacy but fail to target leukemia stem cells (LSC) and do not generate sustained responses. Autophagy is an important cellular stress response contributing to hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) maintenance and promoting leukemia development. Here we investigated the role of autophagy in regulating FLT3-ITD AML stem cell function and response to TKI treatment. We show that autophagy inhibition reduced quiescence and depleted repopulating potential of FLT3-ITD AML LSC, associated with mitochondrial accumulation and increased oxidative phosphorylation. However, TKI treatment reduced mitochondrial respiration and unexpectedly antagonized the effects of autophagy inhibition on LSC attrition. We further show that TKI-mediated targeting of AML LSC and committed progenitors was p53-dependent, and that autophagy inhibition enhanced p53 activity and increased TKI-mediated targeting of AML progenitors, but decreased p53 activity in LSC and reduced TKI-mediated LSC inhibition. These results provide new insights into the role of autophagy in differentially regulating AML stem and progenitor cells, reveal unexpected antagonistic effects of combined oncogenic tyrosine kinase inhibition and autophagy inhibition in AML LSC, and suggest an alternative approach to target AML LSC quiescence and regenerative potential.

Project description:CircMYBL2 is more highly expressed in AML patients with FLT3-ITD mutations than in those without the FLT3-ITD mutation. We found that circMYBL2 knockdown specifically inhibits proliferation and promotes the differentiation of FLT3-ITD AML cells in vitro and in vivo. We used the ribosome profiling and RNA-seq libraries sequenced with Illumina HiSeq 2500 to identify the mRNA that circMYBL2 targeted. Interestingly, we found that circMYBL2 significantly influences the protein level of mutant FLT3 kinase, which contributes to the activation of FLT3-ITD-dependent signaling pathways. Mechanistically, circMYBL2 enhanced the translational efficiency of FLT3 kinase by increasing the binding of PTBP1 to FLT3 mRNA. Moreover, circMYBL2 knockdown impaired the cytoactivity of inhibitor-resistant FLT3-ITD-positive cells, with a significant decrease in FLT3 kinase expression, followed by the inactivation of its downstream pathways. In summary, we are the first to reveal a circRNA that specifically influences FLT3-ITD AML and regulates FLT3 kinase levels through translational regulation, suggesting that circMYBL2 may be a potential therapeutic target for FLT3-ITD AML.
