BACKGROUND: Oncogenic overexpression of integrin-β7 (ITGB7) in cases of high-risk multiple myeloma (MM) was reported to promote enhanced interactions between neoplastic plasma-B cells and stromal cells to develop cell-adhesion mediated drug resistance.
METHODS: Expression profiles of adhesion related genes were analyzed in a cohort of MM patients containing major IgH translocations or hyperdiploidies (HY), diagnosed at the premalignant monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS; n = 103), smoldering multiple myeloma; (SMM; n = 190) or MM (MM; n = 53) stage. Differential expression was integrated with loci-specific alterations in DNA-methylation and chromatin marks in MM patients. A CRISPR-based targeted induction of DNA-methylation at the ITGB7 super-enhancer (SE) in MM.1S cells was employed to intersect the impact of cis-regulatory elements on ITGB7 expression.
RESULTS: ITGB7 was significantly (p < 0.05) upregulated in patients with t(14;16) and t(14;20) subgroups in all MGUS, SMM and MM stages, but sporadically upregulated in t(4;14) subgroup at the MM stage. We demonstrate a predetermined enhancer state on ITGB7 in primary-B cells that is maintained under bivalent chromatin, which undergoes a process of chromatin-state alterations and develops into an active enhancer in cases of the t(4;14) subgroup or SE in cases of the t(14;16) subgroup. We also demonstrate that while targeted induction of DNA-methylation at the ITGB7-SE further upregulated the gene, inhibition of ITGB7-SE-associated transcription factor bromodomain-4 downregulated expression of the gene.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest an epigenetic regulation of oncogenic overexpression of ITGB7 in MM cells, which could be critical in MM progression and an attractive therapeutic target.
