[PMID: 38889007 DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2024.114378] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2023] [Revised: 04/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024] Open
Abstract
The Myb proto-oncogene encodes the transcription factor c-MYB, which is critical for hematopoiesis. Distant enhancers of Myb form a hub of interactions with the Myb promoter. We identified a long non-coding RNA (Myrlin) originating from the -81-kb murine Myb enhancer. Myrlin and Myb are coordinately regulated during erythroid differentiation. Myrlin TSS deletion using CRISPR-Cas9 reduced Myrlin and Myb expression and LDB1 complex occupancy at the Myb enhancers, compromising enhancer contacts and reducing RNA Pol II occupancy in the locus. In contrast, CRISPRi silencing of Myrlin left LDB1 and the Myb enhancer hub unperturbed, although Myrlin and Myb expressions were downregulated, decoupling transcription and chromatin looping. Myrlin interacts with the KMT2A/MLL1 complex. Myrlin CRISPRi compromised KMT2A occupancy in the Myb locus, decreasing CDK9 and RNA Pol II binding and resulting in Pol II pausing in the Myb first exon/intron. Thus, Myrlin directly participates in activating Myb transcription by recruiting KMT2A.

Abstract
ABSTRACT SETBP1 mutations are found in various clonal myeloid disorders. However, it is unclear whether they can initiate leukemia, because SETBP1 mutations typically appear as later events during oncogenesis. To answer this question, we generated a mouse model expressing mutated SETBP1 in hematopoietic tissue: this model showed profound alterations in the differentiation program of hematopoietic progenitors and developed a myeloid neoplasm with megakaryocytic dysplasia, splenomegaly, and bone marrow fibrosis, prompting us to investigate SETBP1 mutations in a cohort of 36 triple-negative primary myelofibrosis (TN-PMF) cases. We identified 2 distinct subgroups, one carrying SETBP1 mutations and the other completely devoid of somatic variants. Clinically, a striking difference in disease aggressiveness was noted, with patients with SETBP1 mutation showing a much worse clinical course. In contrast to myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms, in which SETBP1 mutations are mostly found as a late clonal event, single-cell clonal hierarchy reconstruction in 3 patients with TN-PMF from our cohort revealed SETBP1 to be a very early event, suggesting that the phenotype of the different SETBP1+ disorders may be shaped by the opposite hierarchy of the same clonal SETBP1 variants.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer (PC), one of the most aggressive and life-threatening human malignancies, is known for its resistance to cytotoxic therapies. This is increasingly ascribed to the subpopulation of undifferentiated cells, known as pancreatic cancer stem cells (PCSCs), which display greater evolutionary fitness than other tumor cells to evade the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapy. PCSCs are crucial for tumor relapse as they possess 'stem cell-like' features that are characterized by self-renewal and differentiation. However, the molecular mechanisms that maintain the unique characteristics of PCSCs are poorly understood. Here, we identify the histone methyltransferase KMT2A as a physical binding partner of an RNA polymerase-associated PHF5A-PHF14-HMG20A-RAI1 protein subcomplex and an epigenetic regulator of PCSC properties and functions. Targeting the protein subcomplex in PCSCs with a KMT2A-WDR5 inhibitor attenuates their self-renewal capacity, cell viability, and in vivo tumorigenicity.

Abstract
SETBP1 is a potential epigenetic regulator whose hotspot mutations preventing proteasomal degradation are recurrently detected in myeloid malignancies with poor prognosis. It is believed that the mutant SETBP1 exerts amplified effects of wild-type SETBP1 rather than neomorphic functions. This indicates that dysregulated quantitative control of SETBP1 would result in the transformation of hematopoietic cells. However, little is known about the roles of endogenous SETBP1 in malignant and normal hematopoiesis. Thus, we integrated the analyses of primary AML and healthy samples, cancer cell lines, and a newly generated murine model, Vav1-iCre;Setbp1fl/fl. Despite the expression in long-term hematopoietic stem cells, SETBP1 depletion in normal hematopoiesis minimally alters self-renewal, differentiation, or reconstitution in vivo. Indeed, its loss does not profoundly alter transcription or chromatin accessibilities. Furthermore, although AML with high SETBP1 mRNA is associated with genetic and clinical characteristics for dismal outcomes, SETBP1 is dispensable for the development or maintenance of AML. Contrary to the evidence that SETBP1 mutations are restricted to myeloid malignancies, dependency on SETBP1 mRNA expression is not observed in AML. These unexpected results shed light on the unrecognized idea that a physiologically nonessential gene can act as an oncogene when the machinery of protein degradation is damaged.

Abstract
SE translocation (SET) is a cancer-promoting factor whose expression is upregulated in many cancers. High SET expression positively correlates with a poor cancer prognosis. SETBP1 (SET-binding protein 1/SEB/MRD29), identified as SET-binding protein, is the causative gene of Schinzel-Giedion syndrome, which is characterized by severe intellectual disability and a distorted facial appearance. Mutations in these genetic regions are also observed in some blood cancers, such as myelodysplastic syndromes, and are associated with a poor prognosis. However, the physiological role of SETBP1 and the molecular mechanisms by which the mutations lead to disease progression have not yet been fully elucidated. In this review, we will describe the current epidemiological data on SETBP1 mutations and shed light on the current knowledge about the SET-dependent and -independent functions of SETBP1.

Abstract
Colony stimulating factor 3 receptor (CSF3R) mutations lead to JAK pathway activation and are the molecular hallmark of chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL). Approximately half of patients with CNL also have mutations in SET binding protein 1 (SETBP1). In this study, we developed models of SETBP1-mutated leukemia to understand the role that SETBP1 plays in CNL. SETBP1 mutations promote self-renewal of CSF3R-mutated hematopoietic progenitors in vitro and prevent cells from undergoing terminal differentiation. In vivo, SETBP1 mutations accelerate leukemia progression, leading to the rapid development of hepatosplenomegaly and granulocytosis. Through transcriptomic and epigenomic profiling, we found that SETBP1 enhances progenitor-associated programs, most strongly upregulating Myc and Myc target genes. This upregulation of Myc can be reversed by LSD1 inhibitors. In summary, we found that SETBP1 mutations promote aggressive hematopoietic cell expansion when expressed with mutated CSF3R through the upregulation of Myc-associated gene expression programs.
