Project description:Gene expression data of glucocorticoid resistant and sensitive acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines for the article: Expression, regulation and function of phosphofructo-kinase/fructose-biphosphatases (PFKFBs) in glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells Glucocorticoids (GCs) cause apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in lymphoid cells and constitute a central component in the therapy of lymphoid malignancies, most notably childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). PFKFB2 (6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-biphosphatase-2), a kinase controlling glucose metabolism, was identified by us previously as GC response gene in expression profiling analyses performed in children with ALL during initial systemic GC mono-therapy. Since deregulation of glucose metabolism has been implicated in apoptosis induction, this gene and its relatives PFKFB1, 3, and 4 were further analyzed. Expression analyses in additional ALL children, non-leukemic individuals and leukemic cell lines confirmed frequent PFKFB2 induction by GC in most systems sensitive to GC-induced apoptosis, particularly in T-ALL cells. The 3 other family members, in contrast, were not or weakly expressed (PFKFB1 and 4) or not induced by GC (PFKFB3). Conditional PFKFB2 over-expression in the CCRF-CEM T-ALL in vitro model revealed that its 2 splice variants (15A and 15B) did not have any detectable effect on survival or cell cycle progression. Moreover, neither PFKFB2 splice variant significantly affected sensitivity to, or kinetics of, GC-induced apoptosis. Our data suggest that, at least in the model system investigated, PFKFB2 is not an essential upstream regulator of the anti-leukemic effects of GC. Generation of the GC sensitive and resistant clones is described in Parson et al. FASEB J 2005 (Pubmed id 15637111). In brief GC sensitive clones were generated by limiting dilution subcloning from the GC sensitive T-ALL cell line CCRF-CEM-C7H2. To generate GC resistant clones the CCRF-CEM-C7H2 cell line was clutured in the presence of 10E-7 M dexametasone. Gene expression profiles of glucocorticoid (GC) resistant and sensitive T-ALL cells during GC treatment and corresponding control samples (cells treated with carrier control). GC induced regulation of PFKFB2 was determined in the various cell lines based on the expression intensities of the corresponding probe sets in GC treated and control samples.

Project description:The beneficial effects of glucocorticoids (GCs) in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are based on their ability to induce apoptosis. Omics technologies such as DNA microarray analysis are widely used to study the changes in gene expression and have been successfully implemented in biomarker identification. In addition, time series studies of gene expression enable the identification of correlations between kinetic profiles of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) target genes and diverse modes of transcriptional regulation. This study presents a genome-wide microarray analysis of both our and published Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2.0 data in GCs-sensitive and -resistant ALL. GCs-sensitive CCRF-CEM-C7-14 cells were treated with dexamethasone at three time points (0 h, 2 h and 10 h). The treated samples were then compared to the control (0 h). The published data used were as follows: GSE2677: GSM51674: B-ALL-24-24h GSM51675: B-ALL-24-6h GSM51676: B-ALL-24-0h GSM51680: B-ALL-17-24h GSM51681: B-ALL-17-8h GSM51682: B-ALL-17-0h GSM51677: B-ALL-13-24h GSM51678: B-ALL-13-8h GSM51679: B-ALL-13-0h GSM51683: B-ALL-31-24h GSM51684: B-ALL-31-6h GSM51685: B-ALL-31-0h GSM51686: B-ALL-32-24h GSM51687: B-ALL-32-6h GSM51688: B-ALL-32-0h GSM51689: B-ALL-33-24h GSM51690: B-ALL-33-6h GSM51691: B-ALL-33-0h GSM51692: B-ALL-37-24h GSM51693: B-ALL-37-6h GSM51694: B-ALL-37-0h GSM51695: B-ALL-38-24h GSM51696: B-ALL-38-6h GSM51697: B-ALL-38-0h GSM51698: B-ALL-40-24h GSM51699: B-ALL-40-6h GSM51700: B-ALL-40-0h GSM51701: B-ALL-43-24h GSM51702: B-ALL-43-6h GSM51703: B-ALL-43-0h GSM51707: T-ALL-25-24h GSM51708: T-ALL-25-6h GSM51709: T-ALL-25-0h GSM51704: T-ALL-20-24h GSM51705: T-ALL-20-8h GSM51706: T-ALL-20-0h GSM51710: T-ALL-2-24h GSM51711: T-ALL-2-8h GSM51712: T-ALL-2-0h GSE2842 GSM60545: S-Line-PreB-6h-EtOH GSM60546: S-Line-PreB-6h-GC GSM60547: S-Line-PreB-24h-GC GSM60542: S-Line-C7H2-6h-EtOH GSM60543: S-Line-C7H2-6h-GC GSM60544: S-Line-C7H2-24h-GC GSM60560: R-Line-CEMC1-6h-EtOH GSM60561: R-Line-CEMC1-6h-GC GSM60562: R-Line-CEMC1-24h-GC GSM60564: R-Line-C7R1-6h-EtOH GSM60566: R-Line-C7R1-6h-GC GSM60576: R-Line-C7R1dim-low-6h-EtOH GSM60578: R-Line-C7R1dim-low-6h-GC GSM60579: R-Line-C7R1dim-low-24h-GC GSM60581: R-Line-PreB-6h-EtOH GSM60583: R-Line-PreB-6h-GC GSM60584: R-Line-PreB-24h-EtOH GSM60586: R-Line-PreB-24h-GC GSM60548: C-Line-CEMC1-ratGR-6h-EtOH GSM60549: C-Line-CEMC1-ratGR-6h-GC GSM60550: C-Line-CEMC1-ratGR-24h-GC GSM60551: C-Line-C7R1dim-high-6h-EtOH GSM60552: C-Line-C7R1dim-high-6h-GC GSM60553: C-Line-C7R1dim-high-24h-GC
