Abstract Background miR-182 promoter hypermethylation frequently occurs in various tumors, including acute myeloid leukemia, and leads to low expression of miR-182. However, whether adult acute lymphocyte leukemia (ALL) cells have high miR-182 promoter methylation has not been determined. Methods To assess the methylation status of the miR-182 promoter, methylation and unmethylation-specific PCR analysis, bisulfite-sequencing analysis, and MethylTarget™ assays were performed to measure the frequency of methylation at the miR-182 promoter. Bone marrow cells were isolated from miR-182 knockout (182KO) and 182 wild type (182WT) mice to construct BCR-ABL (P190) and Notch-induced murine B-ALL and T-ALL models, respectively. Primary ALL samples were performed to investigate synergistic effects of the hypomethylation agents (HMAs) and the BCL2 inhibitor venetoclax (Ven) in vitro. Results miR-182 (miR-182-5P) expression was substantially lower in ALL blasts than in normal controls (NCs) because of DNA hypermethylation at the miR-182 promoter in ALL blasts but not in normal controls (NCs). Knockout of miR-182 (182KO) markedly accelerated ALL development, facilitated the infiltration, and shortened the OS in a BCR-ABL (P190)-induced murine B-ALL model. Furthermore, the 182KO ALL cell population was enriched with more leukemia-initiating cells (CD43+B220+ cells, LICs) and presented higher leukemogenic activity than the 182WT ALL population. Furthermore, depletion of miR-182 reduced the OS in a Notch-induced murine T-ALL model, suggesting that miR-182 knockout accelerates ALL development. Mechanistically, overexpression of miR-182 inhibited proliferation and induced apoptosis by directly targeting PBX3 and BCL2, two well-known oncogenes, that are key targets of miR-182. Most importantly, DAC in combination with Ven had synergistic effects on ALL cells with miR-182 promoter hypermethylation, but not on ALL cells with miR-182 promoter hypomethylation. Conclusions Collectively, we identified miR-182 as a tumor suppressor gene in ALL cells and low expression of miR-182 because of hypermethylation facilitates the malignant phenotype of ALL cells. DAC + Ven cotreatment might has been applied in the clinical try for ALL patients with miR-182 promoter hypermethylation. Furthermore, the methylation frequency at the miR-182 promoter should be a potential biomarker for DAC + Ven treatment in ALL patients. |
