Abstract Lithium is the gold standard treatment for bipolar disorder (BD). However, its mechanism of action is incompletely understood, and prediction of treatment outcomes is limited. In our previous multi-omics study of the Pharmacogenomics of Bipolar Disorder (PGBD) sample combining transcriptomic and genomic data, we found that focal adhesion, the extracellular matrix (ECM), and PI3K-Akt signaling networks were associated with response to lithium. In this study, we replicated the results of our previous study using network propagation methods in a genome-wide association study of an independent sample of 2,039 patients from the International Consortium on Lithium Genetics (ConLiGen) study. We identified functional enrichment in focal adhesion and PI3K-Akt pathways, but we did not find an association with the ECM pathway. Our results suggest that deficits in the neuronal growth cone and PI3K-Akt signaling, but not in ECM proteins, may influence response to lithium in BD.

Abstract Introduction: Representing 10% of hematologic malignancies, multiple myeloma (MM) is typified by clonal plasma cell proliferation in the bone marrow (BM) and may progress to therapy-resistant plasma cell leukemia (PCL). Despite many novel therapies, relapse rates remain high as a result of malignant regeneration (self-renewal) of MM cells in inflammatory microenvironments. In addition to recurrent DNA mutations and epigenetic deregulation, inflammatory cytokine-responsive adenosine deaminase associated with RNA (ADAR1)-mediated adenosine to inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing has emerged as a key driver of cancer relapse and progression. In MM, copy number amplification of chromosome 1q21, which contains both ADAR1 and interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R) gene loci, portends a poor prognosis. Thus, we hypothesized that ADAR1 copy number amplification combined with inflammatory cytokine activation of ADAR1 stimulates malignant regeneration of MM and therapeutic resistance. Methods and Results: Analysis of MMRF CoMMpass RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data revealed that high ADAR1 expression (n=162 patients) correlated with significantly reduced progression-free and overall survival compared with a low ADAR1 subset (n=159 patients). In contrast to lentiviral ADAR1 shRNA knockdown and overexpression of an editase defective ADAR1 mutant (ADAR1E912A), lentiviral wild-type ADAR1 overexpression enhanced editing of GLI1, a Hedgehog (Hh) pathway transcriptional activator and self-renewal agonist. Editing of GLI1 transcripts enhanced GLI transcriptional activity in luciferase reporter assays, and promoted lenalidomide resistance in vitro. Finally, lentiviral shRNA ADAR1 knockdown reduced regeneration of high-risk MM in humanized serial transplantation mouse models, indicative of reduced malignant self-renewal capacity. Whole-transcriptome RNA-sequencing of primary samples after lentiviral shRNA knockdown of ADAR1 revealed specific modulation of extracellular and immune response genes, while overexpression of wild-type versus edited GLI1 elicited distinct gene expression changes in human myeloma cells analyzed using NanoString nCounter assays. These data demonstrate that ADAR1 promotes malignant self-renewal of MM and, if selectively inhibited, may prevent progression and relapse through modulation of extracellular and immune response genes. Conclusions: Deregulated RNA editing, driven by aberrant ADAR1 activation, represents a unique source of transcriptomic and proteomic diversity, resulting in self-renewal of MM cells in inflammatory microenvironments. In summary, both genetic (1q21 amplification) and microenvironmental factors (inflammatory cytokines, IMiDs) combine to drive GLI1-dependent malignant regeneration in MM. Thus, ADAR1 represents both a vital prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in MM. Citation Format: Leslie A. Crews, Elisa Lazzari, Phoebe K.
