Project description:Although mutations in the RNA splicing factor SF3B1 are frequently observed in multiple human cancers, their functional role in promoting tumorigenesis and therapeutic significance remain poorly understood. Here we characterize the splicing landscape of 79 tumors and 12 isogenic cell lines harboring SF3B1 hotspot mutations, identifying hundreds of cryptic 3’ splice site (ss) events shared as well as specific to different tumor types. Regulatory network analysis shows that tumors harboring the most common hotspot mutation in SF3B1 (SF3B1K700E) activate the MYC transcriptional program. SF3B1 mutations lead to a dramatic decay of transcripts encoding the key PP2A phosphatase subunit PPP2R5A due to aberrant 3’ss usage, resulting in increased c-MYC serine 62 phosphorylation (allowing MYC to escape ubiquitin-mediated degradation) and in increased BCL2 serine 70 phosphorylation (leading to anti-apoptotic effects). This effect of SF3B1K700E on c-MYC and BCL2 activation through post-translational regulation was conserved across human and mouse cells and could be rescued by restored expression of PPP2R5A. Consonant with this, mutant SF3B1 promoted c-MYC driven tumorigenesis could be restored by the PP2A activating agent FTY-720. This study reveals the functional contribution of mutant SF3B1 to tumorigenesis through regulation of established oncogenic pathways and provides therapeutic strategies for related tumors.

Project description:Although mutations in the gene encoding the RNA splicing factor SF3B1 are frequent in multiple cancers, their functional effects and therapeutic dependencies are poorly understood. Here, we characterize 98 tumors and 12 isogenic cell lines harboring SF3B1 hotspot mutations, identifying hundreds of cryptic 3' splice sites common and specific to different cancer types. Regulatory network analysis revealed that the most common SF3B1 mutation activates MYC via effects conserved across human and mouse cells. SF3B1 mutations promote decay of transcripts encoding the protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) subunit PPP2R5A, increasing MYC S62 and BCL2 S70 phosphorylation which, in turn, promotes MYC protein stability and impair apoptosis, respectively. Genetic PPP2R5A restoration or pharmacologic PP2A activation impaired SF3B1-mutant tumorigenesis, elucidating a therapeutic approach to aberrant splicing by mutant SF3B1. SIGNIFICANCE: Here, we identify that mutations in SF3B1, the most commonly mutated splicing factor gene across cancers, alter splicing of a specific subunit of the PP2A serine/threonine phosphatase complex to confer post-translational MYC and BCL2 activation, which is therapeutically intervenable using an FDA-approved drug.See related commentary by O'Connor and Narla, p. 765.This article is highlighted in the In This Issue feature, p. 747.

Project description:SF3B1 is the most mutated splicing factor (SF) in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), clonal hematopoietic disorders with variable risk of leukemic transformation. Although the tumorigenic effects of SF3B1 mutations have been defined, the role of “non-mutated” SF3B1 in cancer remains largely unresolved. Here we identify a conserved epitranscriptomic program that steers SF3B1 translation to counteract leukemogenesis. Our analysis of human and murine pre-leukemic MDS cells reveals a remarkable SF3B1 protein increase. Selective inhibition of SF3B1 upregulation accelerates MDS-to-leukemia progression in vivo. Mechanistically, ALKBH5-driven m6A demethylation within the SF3B1 5’ UTR fine-tunes SF3B1 translation to direct splicing of central DNA repair and epigenetic regulators during transformation. Loss of 5’ UTR m6A increases SF3B1 abundance, genome stability and delays leukemia progression in vivo, supporting integrative analysis of SF3B1 molecular signatures in humans that may predict tumor mutational burden and poor prognosis. These findings highlight a post-transcriptional gene expression nexus that unveils unanticipated SF3B1-dependent cancer vulnerabilities.

Project description:Much remains unknown concerning the mechanism by which the splicing machinery pinpoints short exons within intronic sequences and how splicing factors are directed to their pre-mRNA targets. Part of the explanation probably lies in differences in chromatin organization between exons and introns. Proteomic, co-immunoprecipitation, and sedimentation analyses described here indicated that SF3B1, an essential splicing component of the U2 snRNP complex, is strongly associated with nucleosomes. ChIP-seq and RNA-seq analyses revealed that SF3B1 is specifically bound to nucleosomes located at exonic positions. SF3B1 binding is enriched at nucleosomes positioned over short exons flanked by long introns that are also characterized by differential GC content between exons and introns. Disruption of SF3B1 binding to such nucleosomes affected the splicing of these exons similarly to inhibition of SF3B1 expression. Our findings suggest that the association of SF3B1 with nucleosomes is functionally important for splice site recognition and that SF3B1 conveys splicing-relevant information embedded in chromatin structure.

Project description:SF3B1, which encodes an essential spliceosomal protein, is frequently mutated in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and many cancers. However, the defect of mutant SF3B1 is unknown. Here, we analyzed RNA-sequencing data from MDS patients and confirmed that SF3B1 mutants use aberrant 3' splice sites. To elucidate the underlying mechanism, we purified complexes containing either wild-type or the hotspot K700E mutant SF3B1, and found that levels of a poorly studied spliceosomal protein, SUGP1, were reduced in mutant spliceosomes. Strikingly, SUGP1 knockdown completely recapitulated the splicing errors, whereas SUGP1 overexpression drove the protein, which our data suggests plays an important role in branchsite recognition, into the mutant spliceosome and partially rescued splicing. Other hotspot SF3B1 mutants showed similar altered splicing and diminished interaction with SUGP1. Our study demonstrates that SUGP1 loss is the sole defect of mutant SF3B1 spliceosomes and, since this defect can be rescued, suggests possibilities for therapeutic intervention.

Project description:Recurrent mutations in RNA splicing factors SF3B1, U2AF1, and SRSF2 have been reported in hematologic cancers including myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). However, SF3B1 is the only splicing associated gene to be found mutated in CLL and has been shown to induce aberrant splicing. To investigate if any other genomic aberration caused similar transcriptome changes, we clustered RNASeq samples based on an alternative 3’ splice site (ss) pattern previously identified in SF3B1-mutant CLL patients. Out of 215 samples, we identified 37 (17%) with alternative 3’ ss usage, the majority of which harbored known SF3B1 hotspot mutations. Interestingly, 3 patient samples carried previously unreported in-frame deletions in SF3B1 around K700, the most frequent mutation hotspot. To study the functional effects of these deletions, we used various minigenes demonstrating that recognition of canonical 3’ ss and alternative branchsite are required for aberrant splicing, as observed for SF3B1 p.K700E. The common mechanism of action of these deletions and substitutions result in similar sensitivity of primary cells towards splicing inhibitor E7107. Altogether, these data demonstrate that novel SF3B1 in-frame deletion events identified in CLL result in aberrant splicing, a common biomarker in spliceosome-mutant cancers.

Project description:Mutations in the RNA splicing factor 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 splicing defects and was sufficient to improve hematopoiesis in SF3B1 mutant mouse and human cells. These data identify GPATCH8 as a novel splicing factor required for mis-splicing by mutant SF3B1 and the therapeutic impact of correcting aberrant splicing in SF3B1 mutant cancers.
