INPP4B drives lysosome biogenesis to restrict leukemic stem cell differentiation and promote leukemogenesis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Signaling pathways that control vital features of leukemic stem cells including multipotency, self-renewal, clonal expansion and quiescence remain unclear. Emerging studies illustrate critical roles for lysosomes in hematopoietic and leukemic stem cell fate. By investigating consequences of INPP4B alterations in AML, we have discovered its role in driving leukemic ‘stemness’. We observed that INPP4B is highly expressed leukemic stem cell populations and Inpp4b -deficeint leukemias demonstrate increased disease latency, reduced leukemia initiating potential which is associated with a differentiated leukemic phenotype. Molecular analyses show that Inpp4b -deficient leukemias have compromised lysosomal gene expression, lysosomal content, and lysosomal activity. Our discovery of a novel pathway linking INPP4B, lysosomal biogenesis and leukemic stemness, provides a mechanism to explain the association of high INPP4B expression with poor AML prognosis, and highlights novel patient stratification strategies and LSC-specific leukemic therapies. Key Points Our findings highlight a novel pathway linking INPP4B, lysosomal function and leukemic stemness that explains the prognostic role of INPP4B in AML. Our data reveal the utility of INPP4B as a biomarker of aggressive AML and provide a rationale to explore INPP4B and its associated function in lysosome biology as novel strategies to target LSC and AML

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
