Project Title:In vivo CRISPR screen identifies copper metabolism as a vulnerability in acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Project Summary:The nutrient-sparse cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) poses a significant challenge to spreading cancer cells. Despite this challenge, leukemia often spreads to the CSF and represents a significant clinical complication. To uncover nutritional dependencies of leukemia cells in the CSF that could be targeted therapeutically, we conducted an in vivo targeted CRISPR screen in a xenograft model of leukemia. We found that SLC31A1, the primary cell surface copper importer, is a genetic dependency of leukemia in both the central nervous system as well as in the hematopoietic organs. Perturbation of copper metabolism leads to complex IV deficiency, perturbed nucleotide metabolism and slowed leukemia cell proliferation. Furthermore, nutritional copper depletion reduced cancer progression in cell line based and patient-derived xenograft models of leukemia. Copper thus appears to be an actionable micronutrient in leukemia.
