Overview

Preclinical mouse models reveal that SRSF2 mutations remodel bone marrow immune cell composition and RNA splicing, suggesting early microenvironment disruption in leukemia progression.

Key Points

  • To determine how somatic SRSF2 P95H mutations alter the bone marrow microenvironment and contribute to early-stage myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) pathogenesis.
  • Generated two mouse models without overt disease phenotypes: a cell-derived xenograft (CDX) via tail-vein injection of BA/F3-KRAS G12C-SRSF2 P95H cells and a heterozygous Vav1-Cre conditional knock-in model (Srsf2 P95H/WT).
  • Characterized bone marrow cellular composition and transcriptional alterations using bulk RNA-seq, single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq), flow cytometry, and Sanger sequencing.
  • SRSF2 P95H expression induced systemic immune dysregulation, manifested by depleted hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), natural killer (NK) cells, and effector T cells, alongside an expansion of neutrophil precursors.
  • Identified a marked B-cell lineage shift toward mature, antibody-secreting states and extensive alternative mis-splicing across key epigenetic, spliceosomal, and cytoskeletal genes, notably Hnrnpa2b1.
