Project description:Despite decades of clinical use, mechanisms of glucocorticoid resistance are poorly understood. We treated primary murine T lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemias (T-ALLs) with the glucocorticoid dexamethasone (DEX) alone and in combination with the pan-PI3 kinase inhibitor GDC-0941 and observed a robust response to DEX that was modestly enhanced by GDC-0941. Continuous in vivo treatment invariably resulted in outgrowth of drug-resistant clones, ~30% of which showed markedly reduced glucocorticoid receptor (GR) protein expression. A similar proportion of relapsed human T-ALLs also exhibited low GR protein levels. De novo or pre-existing mutations in the gene encoding GR (Nr3c1) occurred in relapsed clones derived from multiple independent parental leukemias. CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing confirmed that loss of GR expression confers DEX resistance. Exposing drug-sensitive T-ALLs to DEX in vivo altered transcript levels of multiple genes, and this response was attenuated in relapsed T-ALLs. These data implicate reduced GR protein expression as a frequent cause of glucocorticoid resistance in T-ALL.

Project description:LC-MS data and DIA-NN search files relating to: PU.1 Eviction at Lymphocyte-Specific Chromatin Domains Mediates Glucocorticoid Response in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
Abstract: The epigenetic landscape plays a critical role in the onset and evolution of various malignancies, but its therapeutic utility remains underutilized. Glucocorticoids are an essential part of many multi-agent treatment regimens for lymphoid malignancies. However, the emergence of glucocorticoid resistance is a significant barrier to cure, which is in part due to epigenetic alterations, including aberrant chromatin accessibility and hypermethylation at lymphocyte-specific glucocorticoid-response elements (GREs). To gain a deeper understanding of regulatory mechanisms leading to these epigenetic alterations, we conducted a multi-omics study, including chromosome conformation capture sequencing (HiC), to examine changes in the 3D genome structure following the in vivo treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) with glucocorticoid. We found that glucocorticoid treatment led to distinct patterns of topologically associated domains (TADs) in glucocorticoid sensitive compared to resistant PDXs. Furthermore, we show that these TADs were primed by the development-related pioneer transcription factor PU.1, which extensively interacts with the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) exclusively in glucocorticoid-sensitive ALL PDXs. An integrative analysis of rapid immunoprecipitation mass spectrometry of endogenous protein (RIME) and ChIP-seq revealed that PU.1 binding was associated with lymphocyte-specific activation of GREs and GRE-interacting super-enhancers. The PU.1-associated TADs modulated epigenetic marks, and particularly the eviction of PU.1 promoted GR binding and the expression of signature genes, including BIM, ZBTB16 and RASA1, mediating glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis in ALL. These findings were phenocopied using a PU.1 inhibitor DB2313 to restore glucocorticoid sensitivity in ALL. Taken together, this study identified a new epigenetic pathway integrating PU.1 priming and PU.1-GR interaction which ultimately leads to PU.1 eviction in ALL. This pathway provides the first link between the activity of a lineage-specific transcription factor and epigenetic modulators mediating the response to glucocorticoids and thus offers a new avenue to translate fundamental epigenetic research into the clinic.

Project description:Glucocorticoids are critical components of combination chemotherapy regimens in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The pro-apoptotic BIM protein is an important mediator of glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis in normal and malignant lymphocytes, while the anti-apoptotic BCL2 confers resistance. The signaling pathways regulating BIM and BCL2 expression in glucocorticoid-treated lymphoid cells remain unclear. In this study, pediatric ALL patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) inherently sensitive or resistant to glucocorticoids were exposed to dexamethasone in vivo. In order to understand the basis for differential in vivo glucocorticoid sensitivity of PDXs, microarray analysis of gene expression was carried out on 5 each of dexamethasone-sensitive and resistant PDXs . This provided a global understanding of dexamethasone-induced signaling cascades in ALL cells in vivo, and especialy identified the genes that are involved in transducing the apoptotic signal, upstream of BIM/BCL2 dynamic interactions.

Project description:Glucocorticoids are critical components of combination chemotherapy regimens in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, the signaling pathways regulating apoptosis in glucocorticoid-treated lymphoid cells remain unclear. In this study, pediatric ALL patient-derived xenograft inherently sensitive to glucocorticoids were exposed to dexamethasone in vivo. Whole-genome GR binding sites and histone acetylation status were detected using chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing analyses. This provided a global understanding of dexamethasone-induced DNA modulations in ALL cells in vivo, which is likely to be important in the understanding of mechanisms of glucocorticoid response in lymphoid malignancies. One xenograft (ALL-54) was derived from a patient of dexamethasone-good responder. The xenograft was innoculated into 2 NOD/SCID mice, and treated with dexamethasone (15 mg/kg) or vehicle control. Binding of glucocorticoid receptor (GR), histone acetylation and IgG control in spleen-harvest xenograft samples were detected using ChIP-seq.

ALL xenograft cells were inoculated by tail-vein injection into NOD/SCID mice, and engraftment was monitored weekly. When >70% %huCD45+ engraftment in the peripheral blood was apparent, which occurred 8-10 weeks post-transplantation, mice were treated with either dexamethasone (15 mg/kg) or vehicle control by intra-peritoneal (IP) injection, and culled at 8 hours following the treatment. Cell suspensions of spleens were prepared and mononuclear cells enriched to >97% human by density gradient centrifugation. RNA was extracted using the RNeasy Mini Kit (QIAGEN, Valencia, CA, USA), and RNA samples with integrity number (RIN) > 8.0 were amplified and hybridized onto Illumina HumanWG-6 v3 Expression BeadChips (6 samples/chip). All chips (with associated reagents) were purchased from Illumina, and scanned on the Illumina BeadArray Reader according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Microarray data were analyzed using the online modules in GenePattern. 10 xenografts were derived from patients of 5 dexamethasone-good responder and 5 dexamethasone-poor responder. Each xenograft was innoculated into 5-6 mice, and treated with dexamethasone (15 mg/kg) or vehicle control. In total spleen-harvest xenograft samples from 58 mice were analyzed using microarray.

Project description:Glucocorticoids are an essential part of many multi-agent treatment regimens for lymphoid malignancies where the emergence of glucocorticoid resistance is a significant barrier to a cure. We have previously identified that aberrant chromatin accessibility, at lymphocyte-specific glucocorticoid-response elements (GREs), is associated with drug resistance in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). To gain a deeper understanding of regulatory mechanisms leading to these epigenetic alterations, we conducted a multi-omics study, to examine changes in chromatin conformation, following the in-vivo treatment of patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) with glucocorticoid i.e., dexamethasone (DEX). We found that glucocorticoid treatment led to distinct patterns of topological associated domains (TADs) in DEX sensitive and resistant ALLs. Pre-treatment, these TADs were primed by a development-related pioneer transcription factor PU.1, which also occupied GREs in glucocorticoid sensitive but not resistant ALLs. PU.1 binding was associated with lymphocyte-specific activation of GREs and GRE-interacting super-enhancers within the TADs. Furthermore, the PU.1-associated TADs modulated epigenetics and promoted expression of multiple genes, including BIM, ZBTB16, RASA1 and other genes mediating glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis in ALL. The inhibition of PU.1 enhanced sensitivity of ALL cells to glucocorticoid treatment. Overall, this study illustrated a link between the lineage-specific efficiency of glucocorticoids and the developmental epigenetic modulators and provides insights into the role of fundamental epigenetics in clinical practice.

Project description:Glucocorticoids are widely used to treat inflammatory disorders. Prolonged use results in side effects including osteoporosis, diabetes and obesity. The selective glucocorticoid receptor (GR) modulator Compound A (CpdA) exhibits an inflammation-suppressive effect, largely in absence of detrimental side effects. To understand the mechanistic differences between the classic glucocorticoid dexamethasone (DEX) and CpdA, we looked for proteins oppositely regulated using an unbiased proteomics approach. We found that the autophagy receptor p62 but not GR mediates the anti-inflammatory action of CpdA in macrophages. CpdA drives the upregulation of p62 by recruiting the NRF2 transcription factor to its promoter. Contrarily, the classic GR ligand dexamethasone recruits GR to p62 and other NRF2 controlled gene promoters, resulting in gene downregulation. Both DEX and CpdA are able to induce autophagy, albeit in a cell-type and time-dependent manner. Suppression of LPS-induced IL-6 and MCP1 genes in bone marrow-derived macrophages by CpdA is hampered upon p62 silencing, confirming that p62 is essential for the anti-inflammatory capacity of CpdA. Together, these results demonstrate how off-target mechanisms of selective GR ligands may establish a more efficient anti-inflammatory therapy
