摘要

Despite intriguing roles for the Succinate receptor (Sucnr1) in inflammation, few studies have explored its role in hematopoiesis. Here, we show that low SUCNR1 represents a marker for reduced overall and progression-free survival in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Succinic acid, which displays Sucnr1-dependent and independent effects, promotes disease in mouse models of pre-leukemic myelopoiesis, AML and AML xenografts, expressing low SUCNR1. In vivo global or hematopoietic deletion of Sucnr1 induces expansion of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) and hematopoiesis, whilst Sucnr1-tomato+ HSPC display restricted engraftment potential. Mechanistically, activation of Sucnr1 counterbalances the stimulatory effect of intracellular succinate in HSPC and preserves HSPC transcriptional programs via control of S100a8/S100a9. Blocking S100a9 with tasquinimod rescues the defects of Sucnr1 knock-out mice, and combined with a potent Sucnr1 agonist shows therapeutic value in AML mice. In AML xenografts, single-cell RNA-sequencing reanalyses confirm SUCNR1 as a therapeutic vulnerability in patients. Together, Sucnr1 signaling restricts hematopoiesis at least partially through HSPC and via control of S100a8/S100a9. Its dysregulation emerges as contributor to malignancy that opens therapeutic avenues for AML patients.
