Study Description
Chromosomal rearrangements are a frequent cause of oncogene deregulation in human malignancies. Overexpression of EVI1 is found in a subgroup of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with 3q26 chromosomal rearrangements which are often therapy resistant. In a cohort of primary t(3;8)(q26;q24) AML samples we observed the translocation of a MYC super-enhancer to EVI1. We generated a patient-based t(3;8)(q26;q24) model in vitro using CRISPR-Cas9 technology and demonstrated hyper-activation of EVI1 by the hijacked MYC super-enhancer. One MYC super-enhancer element in particular, which recruits early hematopoietic regulators, is critical for EVI1 expression and enhancer-promoter interaction. This interaction is facilitated by a CTCF-bound motif upstream of the EVI1 promoter that acts as an enhancer-docking site in t(3;8) AML. Genomic analyses of 3q26-rearranged AML samples point to a common mechanism by which EVI1 uses this CTCF-bound enhancer-docking site to hijack early hematopoietic enhancers.

RNA-seq was generated to investigate differences in gene expression between t(3;8) AML and other primary AMLs. Briefly, sample libraries were prepared using 500 ng of input RNA according to the KAPA RNA HyperPrep Kit with RiboErase (HMR) (Roche) using Unique Dual Index adapters (Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc.). Amplified sample libraries were paired-end sequenced (2x100 bp) on the Novaseq 6000 platform (Illumina

This dataset contains DNA sequencing of the chromosome 3q region in 28 primary AML cases with 3q26 rearrangements (3q26-rearranged AML).
Genomic DNA was fragmented using the Covaris shearing device (Covaris), and sample libraries were assembled following the TruSeq DNA Sample Preparation Guide (Illumina). After ligation of adapters and an amplification step, target sequences of chromosomal regions 3q21.1-q26.2 were captured using custom in-solution oligonucleotide baits (Nimblegen SeqCap EZ ...

Open chromatin regions in the MYC super-enhancer region were investigated by ATAC-seq in t(3;8) AML. ATAC-seq was performed as described (Buenrostro et al, 2013) with a modification in the lysis buffer (0.30 M sucrose, 10 mM Tris pH 7.5, 60 mM KCl, 15 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mM EGTA, 0.1% NP40, 0.15 mM Spermine, 0.5 mM Spermidine, 2 mM 6AA) to reduce mitochondrial DNA contamination.
