Plasma cells from 52 patients with multiple myeloma: mRNA and miRNA expression profiling

ABSTRACT: We used microarray analyses of patient myeloma cells (n=52) to correlate individual miRNA expression profiles with GEP-based risk defined by mRNA expression profilesx as well as clinical features of the disease. Unlike for mRNAs, genome-wide elevation of miRNA expression patterns were significantly positively associated with a mRNA-based GEP-risk score (P <.01) and proliferation index (P <.05). Consistent with our observation of global deregulation of miRNA expression profiles, silencing EIF2C2/AGO2, a gene component of the mRNA-based high-risk signature and a master regulator of the genesis and functionality of all miRNAs, dramatically decreased viability in myeloma cell lines. mRNA expression profiling: We performed protein-coding gene expression profiles of myeloma cells from newly diagnosed patients with different molecularly defined disease types. miRNA expression profiling: We used microarray analyses of patient myeloma cells (n=52) to correlate individual miRNA expression profiles with GEP-based risk defined by mRNA expression profiles as well as clinical features of the disease.

Project description:Natural Killer cells (NK), a major constituent of innate immune system, have the ability to kill the transformed and infected cells without prior sensitization; can be put to immunotherapeutic use against various malignancies. NK cells discriminate between normal cells and transformed cells via a balance of inhibitory and activating signals induced by interactions between NK cell receptors and target cell ligands. Present study investigates whether expansion of NK cells could augment their anti-myeloma (MM) activity. For NK cell expansion, peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy donors and myeloma patients were co-cultured with irradiated K562 cells transfected with 4-1BBL and membrane-bound IL15 (K562-mb15-41BBL). A genome-wide profiling approach was performed to identify gene expression signature in expanded NK (ENK) cells and non-expanded NK cells isolated from healthy donors and myeloma patients. A specific set of genes involved in proliferation, migration, adhesion, cytotoxicity, and activation were up regulated post expansion, also confirmed by flow cytometry. Exp-NK cells killed both allogeneic and autologous primary MM cells more avidly than non-exp-NK cells in vitro. Multiple receptors, particularly NKG2D, natural cytotoxicity receptors, and DNAM-1 contributed to target lysis, via a perforin mediated mechanism. In summary, vigorous expansion and high anti-MM activity both in vitro and in vivo provide the rationale for testing exp-NK cells in a clinical trial for high risk MM. Differential gene expression profile in expanded natural killer (ENK) cells and non-expanded natural killer (NK) cells from healthy donors and myeloma patients Eight healthy donor and eight myeloma patients were used in the study. Non-expanded natural killer (NK) cells were isolated from PBMCs of healthy donors and myeloma patients. Expanded natural killer (ENK) cells were generated from same set of samples as mentioned in expansion protocol. All ENK and NK cells were used for gene expression profiling.
