Effects Of Csf3r Mutations On Myeloid Differentiation And Proliferation Of Hematopoietic Cells Of Congenital Neutropenia Patients
BLOOD(2017)
摘要
Over the last 25 years, with the clinical approval of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) remarkable progress has been achieved in the therapy of severe congenital neutropenia (CN). Nevertheless, CN patients have a high rate of transformation to myelodysplasia (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This risk is especially high in the group of patients who harbor acquired G-CSFR mutations, suggesting that these mutations are involved in the leukemogenesis. Deep sequencing of the intracellular part of G-CSFR allowed us to identify a subset of CN patients with a high mutant allele frequency (MAF) of G-CSFR mutations in the granulocytic compartment. We performed CSF3R mutation analysis of myeloid colonies from colony forming unit (CFU) assay of BM and CD34+ samples of 3 ELANE -CN patients, in which the percentage of granulocytes with G-CSFR mutation varied between 22.6% and 81%. Average number of sequenced colonies per CFU sample was 18. Intriguingly, we found that only cell clones with WT G-CSFR were grown in CFU assay. We hypothesized that lack of G-CSFR mutant clones in CFU assay is due to abnormal signaling downstream of truncated G-CSFR. To compare myeloid differentiation of G-CSFR mutant and WT G-CSFR hematopoietic cells, we generated ELANE -CN patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (CN-iPSCs) and performed CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing of CSF3R . Using 2 different sgRNAs specific for the intracellular region of G-CSFR, we introduced nucleotide indels at amino acid positions 740 and 735 (NP_000751.1) in CN-iPSCs. Subsequently, homozygous and heterozygous CN-iPSCs clones with truncated distal part of cytoplasmic domain of G-CSF receptor and subsequent loss of 3 out of 4 conserved tyrosine residues were generated.
