However, acquired resistance to TKIs is a significant clinical problem in CML, and TKI therapy is much less effective against Ph+ B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). BCR-ABL1, via phosphorylated Tyr177, recruits the adapter GAB2 as part of a GRB2/GAB2 complex. We showed previously that GAB2 is essential for BCR-ABL1-evoked myeloid transformation in vitro. Using a genetic strategy and mouse models of CML and B-ALL, we show here that GAB2 is essential for myeloid and lymphoid leukemogenesis by BCR-ABL1. In the mouse model, recipients of BCR-ABL1-transduced Gab2-/- bone marrow failed to develop CML-like myeloproliferative neoplasia. Leukemogenesis was restored by expression of GAB2 but not by GAB2 mutants lacking binding sites for its effectors PI3K or SHP2. GAB2 deficiency also attenuated BCR-ABL1-induced B-ALL, but only the SHP2 binding site was required. The SHP2 and PI3K binding sites were differentially required for signaling downstream of GAB2. Hence, GAB2 transmits critical transforming signals from Tyr177 to PI3K and SHP2 for CML pathogenesis, whereas only the GAB2-SHP2 pathway is essential for lymphoid leukemogenesis. Given that GAB2 is dispensable for normal hematopoiesis, GAB2 and its effectors PI3K and SHP2 represent promising targets for therapy in Ph+ hematologic neoplasms.

Gene expression levels were estimated and compared using Cufflinks. Genome_build: mm10 (GRCm38) Supplementary_files_format_and_content: FPKM RNA (150 ng) from each sample was reverse transcribed into cDNA by using the Illumina TruSeq Stranded mRNA kit. cDNA libraries were size-indexed and validated using an Agilent Bioanalyzer, and their concentrations confirmed by qPCR. Six different libraries (3 WT-Gab2+/+ and 3 Gab2-/-) were normalized to 10 nM and pooled. Pooled libraries (8 pmol each) were loaded onto Illumina cBot for cluster generation, and the flow cell was subjected to 100 cycles of paired-end sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq 2000.
