Somatic mutations in some splicing factor genes are frequently found in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and MDS-related acute myeloid leukemia (AML), blood cancers with few effective treatment options. However, the pathophysiological effects of these mutations remain poorly characterized. Here, we report the establishment of mouse models to study a common splicing factor mutation, U2AF1(S34F). Production of the mutant protein in the murine hematopoietic compartment disrupts hematopoiesis in ways resembling human MDS. We further identified deletion of the Runx1 gene and other known oncogenic mutations as changes that might collaborate with U2af1(S34F) to give rise to frank AML in mice. However, the U2af1(S34F) mutation was absent in two of the three AML cases, raising the possibility that this mutant protein plays a dispensable role in tumor maintenance. Mutations affecting the spliceosomal protein U2AF1 are commonly found in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML). We have generated mice that carry Cre-dependent knock-in alleles of U2af1(S34F), the murine version of the most common mutant allele of U2AF1 encountered in human cancers. Cre-mediated recombination in murine hematopoietic lineages caused changes in RNA splicing, as well as multilineage cytopenia, macrocytic anemia, decreased hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, low-grade dysplasias, and impaired transplantability, but without lifespan shortening or leukemia development. In an attempt to identify U2af1(S34F)-cooperating changes that promote leukemogenesis, we combined U2af1(S34F) with Runx1 deficiency in mice and further treated the mice with a mutagen, N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU). Overall, 3 of 16 ENU-treated compound transgenic mice developed AML. However, AML did not arise in mice with other genotypes or without ENU treatment. Sequencing DNA from the three AMLs revealed somatic mutations homologous to those considered to be drivers of human AML, including predicted loss- or gain-of-function mutations in Tet2, Gata2, Idh1, and Ikzf1. However, the engineered U2af1(S34F) missense mutation reverted to WT in two of the three AML cases, implying that U2af1(S34F) is dispensable, or even selected against, once leukemia is established.
