    Abstract Tumor-associated myeloid cells modulate the tumor microenvironment and affect tumor progression. Type I interferon (IFN-I) has multiple effects on tumors and immune response, and ubiquitin-specific peptidase 18 (USP18) functions as a negative regulator of IFN-I signal transduction. This study aims to examine the function of IFN-I in myeloid cells during tumor progression. Here, we show that deletion of USP18 in myeloid cells suppresses tumor progression. Enhanced IFN-I signaling and blocked USP18 expression prompt downregulation of colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) and polarization of tumor-associated macrophages toward pro-inflammatory phenotypes. Further in vitro experiments reveal that downregulation of CSF1R is mediated by ubiquitin-proteasome degradation via E3 ligase neural precursor cell-expressed, developmentaly downregulated 4 (NEDD4) and the IFN-induced increase in ubiquitin E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme H5. USP18 impairs ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of CSF1R by interrupting NEDD4 binding to CSF1R. These results reveal a previously unappreciated role of IFN-I in macrophage polarization by regulating CSF1R via USP18 and suggest targeting USP18 in myeloid-lineage cells as an effective strategy for IFN-based therapies.

    Abstract T(8;21)(q22;q22), which generates the AML1-ETO fusion oncoprotein, is a common chromosomal abnormality in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Despite having favorable prognosis, 40% of patients will relapse, highlighting the need for innovative models and application of the newest technologies to study t(8;21) leukemogenesis. Currently, available AML1-ETO mouse models have limited utility for studying the pre-leukemic stage because AML1-ETO produces mild hematopoietic phenotypes and no leukemic transformation. Conversely, overexpression of a truncated variant, AML1-ETO9a (AE9a), promotes fully penetrant leukemia and is too potent for studying pre-leukemic changes. To overcome these limitations, we devised a germline-transmitted Rosa26 locus AE9a knock-in mouse model that moderately overexpressed AE9a and developed leukemia with long latency and low penetrance. We observed pre-leukemic alterations in AE9a mice, including skewing of progenitors towards granulocyte/monocyte lineages and replating of stem and progenitor cells. Next, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing to identify specific cell populations that contribute to these pre-leukemic phenotypes. We discovered a subset of common myeloid progenitors that have heightened granulocyte/monocyte bias in AE9a mice. We also observed dysregulation of key hematopoietic transcription factor target gene networks, blocking cellular differentiation. Finally, we identified Sox4 activation as a potential contributor to stem cell self-renewal during the pre-leukemic stage.

    Abstract The transcription factor RUNX1 is a master regulator of hematopoiesis and is frequently mutated in myeloid malignancies. Mutations in its runt homology domain (RHD) frequently disrupt DNA binding and result in loss of RUNX1 function. However, it is not clearly understood how other RUNX1 mutations contribute to disease development. Here, we characterize RUNX1 mutations outside of the RHD. Our analysis of patient datasets revealed that mutations within the C-terminus frequently occur in hematopoietic disorders. Remarkably, most of these mutations were nonsense or frameshift and predicted to be exempt from nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Therefore, this class of mutation is projected to produce DNA-binding proteins that contribute to pathogenesis in a distinct manner. To model this, we introduced the RUNX1R320* mutation into the endogenous gene locus and demonstrated the production of RUNX1R320* protein. Expression of RUNX1R320* resulted in the disruption of RUNX1 regulated processes such as megakaryocytic differentiation through a transcriptional signature different from RUNX1 depletion. To understand the underlying mechanisms, we utilized Global RNA Interactions with DNA by deep sequencing (GRID-seq) to examine enhancer-promoter connections. We identified wide-spread alteration of enhancer-promoter networks within RUNX1 mutant cells. Additionally, we uncovered enrichment of RUNX1R320* and FOXK2 binding at the MYC super enhancer locus, significantly upregulating MYC transcription and signaling pathways. Together, our study demonstrates that most RUNX1 mutations outside the DNA binding domain are not subject to nonsense mediated decay, producing protein products that act in concert with additional cofactors to dysregulate hematopoiesis through mechanisms distinct from that induced by RUNX1 depletion.

    Abstract Two-dimensional high-throughput data have become increasingly common in functional genomics studies, which raises new challenges in data analysis. Here, we introduce a new statistic called Zeta, initially developed to identify global splicing regulators from a two-dimensional RNAi screen, a high-throughput screen coupled with high-throughput functional readouts, and ZetaSuite, a software package to facilitate general application of the Zeta statistics. We compare our approach with existing methods using multiple benchmarked datasets and then demonstrate the broad utility of ZetaSuite in processing public data from large-scale cancer dependency screens and single-cell transcriptomics studies to elucidate novel biological insights.

    Abstract Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with the t(8;21)(q22;q22) chromosomal translocation is among the most common subtypes of AML and produces the AML1-ETO (RUNX1-ETO, RUNX1-RUNX1T1) oncogenic fusion gene. AML1-ETO functions as an aberrant transcription factor which plays a key role in blocking normal hematopoiesis. Thus, the expression of AML1-ETO is critical to t(8;21) AML leukemogenesis and maintenance. Post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression is often mediated through interactions between trans-factors and cis-elements within transcript 3'-untranslated regions (UTR). AML1-ETO uses the 3'UTR of the ETO gene, which is not normally expressed in hematopoietic cells. Therefore, the mechanisms regulating AML1-ETO expression via the 3'UTR are attractive therapeutic targets.
    Methods: We used RNA-sequencing of t(8;21) patients and cell lines to examine the 3'UTR isoforms used by AML1-ETO transcripts. Using luciferase assay approaches, we test the relative contribution of 3'UTR cis elements to AML1-ETO expression. We further use let-7b microRNA mimics and anti-let-7b sponges for functional studies of t(8;21) AML cell lines.
    Results: In this study, we examine the regulation of AML1-ETO via the 3'UTR. We demonstrate that AML1-ETO transcripts primarily use a 3.7 kb isoform of the ETO 3'UTR in both t(8;21) patients and cell lines. We identify a negative regulatory element within the AML1-ETO 3'UTR. We further demonstrate that the let-7b microRNA directly represses AML1-ETO through this site. Finally, we find that let-7b inhibits the proliferation of t(8;21) AML cell lines, rescues expression of AML1-ETO target genes, and promotes differentiation.
    Conclusions: AML1-ETO is post-transcriptionally regulated by let-7b, which contributes to the leukemic phenotype of t(8;21) AML and may be important for t(8;21) leukemogenesis and maintenance.

    Abstract The fusion protein RUNX1-ETO is an oncogenic transcription factor generated by t(8;21) chromosome translocation, which is found in FAB-M2-type acute myeloid leukemia (AML). RUNX1-ETO is known to dysregulate the normal RUNX1 transcriptional network, which should involve essential factors for the onset of AML with t(8;21). In this study, we screened for possible transcriptional targets of RUNX1 by reanalysis of public data in silico, and identified C11orf21 as a novel RUNX1 target gene because its expression was down-regulated in the presence of RUNX1-ETO. The expression level of C11orf21 was low in AML patient samples with t(8;21) and in Kasumi-1 cells, which carry RUNX1-ETO. Knockdown of RUNX1-ETO in Kasumi-1 cells restored C11orf21 expression, whereas overexpression of RUNX1 up-regulated C11orf21 expression. In addition, knockdown of RUNX1 in other human leukemia cells without RUNX-ETO, such as K562, led to a decrease in C11orf21 expression. Of note, the C11orf21 promoter sequence contains a consensus sequence for RUNX1 binding and it was activated by exogenously expressed RUNX1 based on our luciferase reporter assay. This luciferase signal was trans-dominantly suppressed by RUNX1-ETO and site-directed mutagenesis of the consensus site abrogated the reporter activity. This study demonstrated that C11orf21 is a novel transcriptional target of RUNX1 and RUNX1-ETO suppressed C11orf21 transcription in t(8;21) AML. Thus, through this in silico approach, we identified a novel transcriptional target of RUNX1, and the depletion of C11orf21, the target gene, may be associated with the onset of t(8;21) AML.
