Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by serious aggressivity of high relapse risk and various molecular aberrations. Rearrangements involving NUP98 with multiple fusing partner genes in myeloid malignancies indicate dismal survival outcomes. Mechanisms contributing to subsequent aggressive progression and severe relapse risk of NUP98-rearranged AML remain undefined. Here we identified a novel oncogenic fusion RUNX1/ZNF423 in a relapse and refractory AML patient with NUP98/NSD1. And mice xenografted from the patient bearing both RUNX1/ZNF423 and NUP98/NSD1 display more severe engraftment levels than NUP98/NSD1 only. Mechanically, RUNX1/ZNF423 accompanied with NUP98/NSD1 recapitulated transcriptional signatures in hematopoietic differentiation blockage and altered amino acid metabolism pathway. Moreover, single-cell sequencing confirmed the coexistence of RUNX1/ZNF423 with NUP98/NSD1 in the same leukemic blast. Meanwhile, we also found that the coexistence of gene fusions in NUP98-rearranged AML was a significant phenomenon, which probably contributes to their worse clinical outcome. Finally, tailored intervention treatment based on ex vivo drug sensitivity testing is provided to this relapse and refractory AML patient and achieved favorable clinical response. Taken together, we not only identified a novel gene fusion RUNX1/ZNF423 with transforming potential detected in a NUP98-rearranged AML, but also achieved a deeper understanding into mechanisms contributing to disease relapse in AML.

Project description:We assessed lineage involvement by NUP98 translocations in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Single cell analysis by FICTION (Fluorescence Immunophenotype and Interphase Cytogenetics as a Tool for Investigation of Neoplasms) showed that NUP98-translocations with various partners, i.e. NSD1, DDX10, RAP1GDS1, and LNP1, always affected a CD34+/CD133+ hematopoietic precursor. Interestingly, in MDS/AML myelomonocytes, erythroid cells, B- and T- lymphocytes belonged to the abnormal clone, while in T-ALL only CD7+/CD3+ cells were involved. The partner did not appear to play a major role in determining the leukemia phenotype as shown in AML and T-ALL with the same NUP98-RAP1GDS1 fusion. Additional hits, namely mutations of FLT3 and CEBPA in MDS/AML and mutation of NOTCH1 plus MYB duplication in T-ALL, were identified in leukemias with, respectively, myeloid or T-lymphoid phenotype. Affymetrix SNP arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from cryopreserved diagnostic bone marrow or peripheral blood samples. Copy number and Copy neutral LOH analysis of with Affymetrix Cytogenetic 2.7 and Cytoscan HD SNP arrays was performed on 6 NUP98 rearranged leukemias.

Project description:The dysregulation of plant homeodomain (PHD) fingers has been implicated in several human diseases, including cancer. In a subset of aggressive acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chromosomal translocations that involve nucleoporin 98 (NUP98), a component of the nuclear pore complex, and a PHD finger-containing protein, such as KDM5A/JARID1A, PHF23 and BPTF, generate potent oncoproteins (namely NUP98-KDM5A, NUP98-PHF23 and NUP98-BPTF; or together termed as NUP98-PHD fusions) that are able to arrest hematopoietic differentiation and induce acute myeloid leukemia in murine models. In these processes, a PHD finger that specifically recognizes H3K4me3/2 marks was essential for leukemogenesis. Mutations in PHD fingers that abrogated H3K4me3 binding also abolished leukemic transformation. An overlap of NUP98-KDM5A oncoprotein binding sites and H3K4me3-positive loci at the Hoxa/b gene clusters and Meis1 in ChIP-seq together with NMR analysis of the H3K4me3-binding sites of the PHD fingers from PHF23, KDM5A and BPTF suggests a common PHD finger-dependent mechanism that promotes leukemogenesis by this type of NUP98-PHD finger fusions. Disulfiram (DS), a small molecule compound that directly targets the PHD finger, shows anti-proliferation effects in AML cells expressing NUP98-PHD through the conserved inhibitory mechanism. Our findings highlight the direct correlation between the abilities of NUP98-PHD finger fusion chimeras to associate with H3K4me3-enriched chromatin and leukemic transformation.

Project description:Chromosomal translocations involving the nucleoporin 98 (NUP98) gene at chromosome 11p15 are found in pediatric and adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) patients, representing one of the most common genetic alterations in pediatric AMLs found in ~10% of these patients. Previous studies demonstrated that NUP98 fusion proteins interact with MLL1 (Mixed Lineage Leukemia 1 also known as KMT2A) protein complex, and colocalize with MLL1 on Hoxa/b cluster genes, supporting MLL1 as a molecular dependency in the NUP98-r leukemia. Importantly, recent work has validated an important role of the scaffold protein menin, which directly interacts with the N-terminus of MLL1, in the NUP98-r leukemia. Here, we explored the effect of combining our menin inhibitor MI-3454 with CDK6 or FLT3 kinase inhibitors in the NUP98-r leukemia models as a possible way to enhance the anti-leukemic effect.

Project description:The first genetic hits towards leukemia are thought often to confer to the mutant clone a slight proliferative/survial advantage. These pre-malignant clones can then be maintained under physiological cues in normal pool for long periods. We have searched for this type of first genetic hits and found that ectopic expression of novel nucleoporin 98 (NUP98)-homeodomain fusion proteins in primitive bone marrow cells can induce long-lasting hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) activity in these cells. More specifically, NUP98-CDX1/2 was able to sustain HSC activity with high frequencies despite massive in vitro expansions and in vivo residence. Continual expression of NUP98-CDX1/2 did not perturb lymphoid, myeloid or erythroid/platelet differentiation and NUP98-CDX1/2 was able to reprogram committed progenitors into cells with attributes of HSC. Switching off of NUP98-CDX1/2 expression did not lead to “return” to normal HSC but acute differentiation. Related NUP98-CDX4 induced leukemia with the shortest latency ever reported for HOX transcription factors. In this case switching off of NUP98-CDX4 expression cured the full-blown leukemia and again the cured cells showed only transient repopulating activity in vivo. These two types of pre-leukemic cells generated here will provide useful models for elucidating the self-renewal mechanisms of HSC as well as leukemic stem cells. Total RNA from NUP98-CDX lines was compared to EGFP overexpressing lines. The experiment was done in triplicate.
