Paper
RBM15-MKL1 fusion protein promotes leukemia via m6A methylation and Wnt pathway activationBlood · 2025
Summary (written by the submitters)
The RBM15-MKL1 (RM) fusion protein causes acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL) primarily in infants. RBM15 recruits the m6A writer complex and is essential for determining the m6A epitranscriptome. MKL1 is a transcriptional cofactor important to megakaryopoiesis. Although the functions of the component proteins are well described, the mechanism whereby the RM fusion protein induces AMKL is unknown.

We performed a high-resolution multi-omics analysis to identify the direct transcriptional, RNA-binding, and epitranscriptional targets of RM compared to RBM15. While RM maintains the RNA-binding and m6A modification capabilities of wildtype RBM15, it also has distinct RNA targets, many of which are upregulated and stabilized in RM-expressing cells. Among the top targets that are differentially bound, m6A modified, and upregulated by RM are the Frizzled genes, which encode receptors for the Wnt signalling pathway. To assess the role of RM-mediated m6A modifications in a physiologically relevant model, we treated two murine AMKL cell lines with STM3675, a novel METTL3 inhibitor. In vitro, METTL3 inhibition causes murine AMKL cells to undergo differentiation and apoptosis. In vivo treatment with METTL3 inhibitor prolongs survival of mice transplanted with murine AMKL cells. We additionally show that treatment with STM3675 decreases expression of key RM target genes, including Frizzled genes. Knockdown of Frizzled genes in RM-driven murine AMKL cells decreases their growth and survival, suggesting that RM-specific binding, m6A modification, and aberrant upregulation of the Wnt signaling pathway contribute to leukemogenesis and may represent targetable therapeutic pathways for treatment of children with RM-AMKL.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE275299_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: For RNA-seq the counts are usually a table among the supplementary files (look for 'counts', 'expression', 'FPKM' or 'TPM' in the file name). The series matrix of a sequencing study is sometimes nearly empty.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1150216 and SRA study SRP527605. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
