NSD2 E1099K drives relapse in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia by disrupting 3D chromatin organization
biorxiv(2022)
摘要
The NSD2 p.E1099K (EK) mutation has been shown to be enriched in patients with relapsed ALL and found to play a role in clonal fitness dependent on the underlying genetic/epigenetic landscape of the cells. To uncover 3D chromatin architecture-related mechanisms underlying drug resistance, we systematically integrated Hi-C, ATAC-seq, RNA-seq and ChIP-seq data from three B-ALL cell lines heterozygous for NSD2 EK (RS4;11, RCH-ACV, SEM) and assessed changes upon knockdown. NSD2 knockdown revealed widespread remodeling of the 3D genome, specifically in terms of compartmentalization. Systematic integration of these datasets revealed significant switches in A/B compartments with a strong bias towards B compartments upon knockdown, suggesting that NSD2 EK plays a prominent role in maintaining A compartments through enrichment of H3K36me2 epigenetic marks. In contrast, we identified few changes in intra-TAD activity suggesting that the NSD2 EK impacts transcriptional changes through a remarkable dependence on compartmentalization. Furthermore, EK-mediated reorganization of compartments highlights the existence of a common core of compacting loci shared across the three cell lines that explain previously described phenotypes as well as serve as targets for therapeutic intervention. This study offers a novel mechanism by which NSD2 EK drives clonal evolution and drug resistance.
