RNA-seq analysis of murine KMT2A-MLLT3 with DOT1L overexpressed

We transduced two individual murine KMT2A-MLLT3 AML samples with DOT1L and three days after sorting for DOT1L+ cells collected for RNA-seq MLL-rearranged leukemias have been previously shown to be dependent on the presence of histone 3 lysine 79 (H3K79) dimethylation on the genomic targets of the fusion, and an inhibitor of the H3K79 methyltransferase DOT1L is in clinical trials for MLL-rearranged leukemia. In order to ask what biologic effects overexpression of DOT1L would have on the H3K79me2 ChIP-Seq profiles and MLL-fusion target gene expression, murine leukemias generated by transplanting MSCV-MLL-AF9-GFP transduced lin- cKit+ Sca1+ bone marrow cells were subjected to overexpression of DOT1L. Cells were sorted into low (low level of DOT1L overexpression), high (high level of DOT1L overexpression) and bulk (entire population) samples, and subjected to H3K79me2 ChIP-Seq (using a drosophila spike in for normalization) and RNA-Seq analysis 3 days after transduction. mRNA from murine KMT2A-MLLT3 AML with DOT1L overexpressed was submitted for RNA-seq
