Familial platelet disorder with associated myeloid malignancies (FPDMM) is an autosomal dominant disease caused by heterozygous germline mutations in RUNX1. It is characterized by thrombocytopenia, platelet dysfunction, and a predisposition to hematological malignancies. Although FPDMM is a precursor for diseases involving abnormal DNA methylation, the DNA methylation status in FPDMM remains unknown, largely due to a lack of animal models and challenges in obtaining patient-derived samples. Here, using genome editing techniques, we established two lines of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) with different FPDMM-mimicking heterozygous RUNX1 mutations. These iPSCs showed defective differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) and megakaryocytes (Mks), consistent with FPDMM. The FPDMM-mimicking HPCs showed DNA methylation patterns distinct from those of wild-type HPCs, with hypermethylated regions showing the enrichment of ETS transcription factor (TF) motifs. We found that the expression of FLI1, an ETS family member, was significantly downregulated in FPDMM-mimicking HPCs with a RUNX1 transactivation domain (TAD) mutation. We demonstrated that FLI1 promoted binding-site-directed DNA demethylation, and that overexpression of FLI1 restored their megakaryocytic differentiation efficiency and hypermethylation status. These findings suggest that FLI1 plays a crucial role in regulating DNA methylation and correcting defective megakaryocytic differentiation in FPDMM-mimicking HPCs with a RUNX1 TAD mutation.
