CSF3R T618I Collaborates With RUNX1-RUNX1T1 to Expand Hematopoietic Progenitors and Sensitizes to GLI Inhibition

Activating colony-stimulating factor-3 receptor gene (CSF3R) mutations are recurrent in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with t(8;21) translocation. However, the nature of oncogenic collaboration between alterations of CSF3R and the t(8;21) associated RUNX1-RUNX1T1 fusion remains unclear. In CD34+ hemat...

description Activating colony-stimulating factor-3 receptor gene (CSF3R) mutations are recurrent in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with t(8;21) translocation. However, the nature of oncogenic collaboration between alterations of CSF3R and the t(8;21) associated RUNX1-RUNX1T1 fusion remains unclear. In CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells from healthy donors, double oncogene expression led to a clonal advantage, increased self-renewal potential, and blast-like morphology and distinct immunophenotype. Gene expression profiling revealed hedgehog signaling as a potential mechanism, with upregulation of GLI2 constituting a putative pharmacological target. Both primary hematopoietic cells and the t(8;21) positive AML cell line SKNO-1 showed increased sensitivity to the GLI inhibitor GANT61 when expressing CSF3R T618I. Our findings suggest that during leukemogenesis, the RUNX1-RUNXT1 fusion and CSF3R mutation act in a synergistic manner to alter hedgehog signaling, which can be exploited therapeutically.
