Role of adhesion receptors in mast cell disease-evolution

ABSTRACT: Systemic mastocytosis (SM) is an incurable neoplasm characterized by abnormal accumulation of neoplastic mast cells (MC) in vascularized organs. In indolent SM, MC express several different adhesion-molecules including CD2 and CD58, and form focal tissue-aggregates, whereas in advanced SM, MC often lack CD2 and produce a more diffuse infiltration-pattern. To explore the functional role of CD2 in the pathology of SM, stable CD2+ and CD2− subclones of the human MC-leukemia cell line HMC-1 were generated and injected intraperitoneally into pfp/rag2 mice. CD2+ HMC-1 cells formed solid mastocytomas in the peritoneum and lungs, whereas CD2− cells produced diffuse infiltration. CD2+ and CD2− HMC-1 subclones all displayed the driver-mutant KIT D816V, exhibited the same growth-kinetics, and displayed identical adhesion-receptors including CD44 and selectin-ligands. To explore the mechanism of organ invasion, E- and P-selectin-deficient scid mice (scid-select) were employed. While massive HMC-1 infiltrates were detected in the lungs of control mice, infiltration was markedly reduced or absent in scid-select mice. The invasion-receptor CD44 was detectable in all MC infiltrates, with most abundant expression in the invasion-front. Together, our data show that selectins mediate organ-invasion of MC and CD2-CD58 interactions contribute to a more focal infiltration-pattern which is lost during progression to MC leukemia. HMC1 cells were sorted by FACS for expression of CD2 surface expression. 2 subclones were obtained (CD2+ or CD2-) and compared by gene expression profiling using U133 plus 2.0 GeneChips

KIT D816V mast cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells recapitulate systemic mastocytosis transcriptional profile

Project description:Mast cells (MC) represent a population of hematopoietic cells with a key role in innate and adaptive immunity and are well known for their detrimental role in allergic responses. Yet, MC occur in low abundance which hampers their detailed molecular analysis. Here, we capitalized on the potential of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells to give rise to all cells of the body and established a robust protocol for human iPS cell differentiation towards MC. Relying on a panel of systemic mastocytosis (SM) patient-specific iPS cell lines carrying the KIT D816V mutation, we generated functional MC that recapitulate SM disease features: increased number of MC, abnormal maturation kinetics and activated phenotype, CD2 and CD30 surface expression and a transcriptional signature characterized by upregulated expression of innate and inflammatory response genes. Therefore, human iPS cell-derived MC are a reliable and close-to-human tool for disease modeling and pharmacological screening to explore novel MC therapeutics.

Single Stem Cell Lineage Analysis of the Leukemic Clones Responsible for Acute Myeloid Leukemia Relapse Based on the Functional and Genomic Properties at Diagnosis

Project description:Single cell lineage analysis was used to assess clonal genetic heterogeneity and functional aspects of AML HSPCs derived at diagnosis and relapse. To address inherent limitations of single cell analysis, we developed a unique high-resolution technique capable of following single cell-derived subclones of different HSPC subpopulations during the AML course. Each of these subclones was evaluated for chemo-resistance, in-vivo leukemogenic potential in Nod Scid Gamma (NSG) mice, mutational profile, and the subclone cell of origin identified using retrospective cell lineage reconstruction.

Highly parallel assays of tissue-specific enhancers in whole Drosophila embryos

Project description:Understanding transcriptional regulatory networks requires the identification and characterization of cis-regulatory modules (CRMs), DNA sequences which can direct expression of associated genes to a specific cell type and/or developmental stage. Reporter assays for the capacity of a candidate CRM to activate a heterologous promoter have been productive but suffer limited throughput or fail to convey information on cell type specificity. We have developed an assay in which reporter constructs containing a pool of candidate CRMs are introduced in parallel to Drosophila embryos along with a common cell-type-specific second marker; candidate CRMs isolated by PCR from FACS-purified double-positive cells can by quantitated by high-throughput sequencing, and their relative abundance compared to those in the input cell population to detect activity in the cell type (or types) of interest. twi-CD2+/GFP+ cells in triplicate, and input (twi-CD2+) cells in triplicate for comparison; twi-CD2-/GFP+ cells in triplicate, and input (twi-CD2-) cells in triplicate for comparison; mef2-CD2+/GFP+ cells (single sample), and input (mef2-CD2-) cells in quintuplicate for comparison and variance estimation; mef2-CD2-/GFP+ cells in triplicate, and input (mef2-CD2-) cells in triplicate for comparison; duf:CD2+/GFP+ cells (single sample), and input (duf:CD2-) cells in quintuplicate for comparison and variance estimation; duf:CD2-/GFP+ cells in sextuplicate, and input (duf:CD2-) cells in sextuplicate for comparison.

Mast cell-derived SAMD14 is a novel regulator of the human prostate tumor microenvironment

Project description:Mast cells (MCs) are important cellular components of the tumor microenvironment and are significantly associated with poor patient outcomes in prostate cancer and other solid cancers. The promotion of tumor progression partly involves heterotypic interactions between MCs and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) which combine to potentiate a pro-tumor extracellular matrix and promote epithelial cell invasion and migration. Thus far, the interactions between MCs and CAFs remains poorly understood. To identify molecular changes that may alter resident MC function in the prostate tumor microenvironment, we profiled the transcriptome of human prostate MCs, isolated from patient-matched non-tumor and tumor-associated regions of fresh radical prostatectomy tissue. Transcriptomic profiling revealed a distinct gene expression profile of MCs isolated from prostate tumor regions, including the downregulation of SAMD14, a putative tumor suppressor gene. Proteomic profiling revealed overexpression of SAMD14 in HMC-1 MCs altered the secretion of proteins associated with immune regulation and extracellular matrix processes. To assess MC biological function within a model of the prostate tumor microenvironment, HMC-1-SAMD14+ conditioned media was added to co-cultures of primary prostatic CAFs and prostate epithelium. HMC-1-SAMD14+ secretions were shown to reduce the deposition and alignment of matrix produced by CAFs and suppress pro-tumorigenic prostate epithelial morphology. Overall, our data presents the first profile of human MCs derived from patient prostate cancer specimens and identifies MC-derived SAMD14 as an important mediator of MC phenotype and function within the prostate tumor microenvironment.

Differential 5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s Disease.

Project description:Background: 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) and its oxidized form, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC), are distinct epigenetic marks that help regulate gene expression in the mammalian brain. Existing studies have identified associations between 5-mC and neurodegenerative disease, but little work has examined the potential role of 5-hmC in Parkinson’s disease (PD) or Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Here, we utilized PD postmortem brain tissue and a public dataset from postmortem AD brains to analyze the effect of neurodegenerative disease on paired 5-mC and 5-hmC levels. Results: In PD samples, we measured genome-wide 5-mC and 5-hmC from control (n=3) and PD (n=6) brains using the Illumina EPIC array combined with bisulfite and oxidative bisulfite treatments (BS/oxBS-EPIC). In publicly sourced data, genome-wide 5-mC and 5-hmC were measured from control (n=25) and AD (n=62) human entorhinal cortex tissue using the Illumina 450K array combined with bisulfite and oxidative bisulfite treatment (BS/oxBS-450K). Paired 5-mC and 5-hmC beta values were generated using a custom pipeline of bioinformatics tools, and we modeled the effect of disease on paired 5-mC and 5-hmC data using a mixed effects beta regression model with a random effect for ID and an interaction term between disease category and DNA modification category (“5-mC” or “5-hmC”). We identified a number of CpG probes (AD: n=699, PD: total n = 80) that showed a significant interaction between disease status and DNA modification category (p-value < 2.4x10-7). Conclusions: While our PD data requires additional validation, our analyses suggest that there are widespread shifts in the balance between 5-mC and 5-hmC in Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease.

Genome wide hydroxymethylation tested using the HELP-GT assay shows redistribution in cancer

Project description:Background: 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) is a recently discovered epigenetic modification that is altered in cancers. Genome wide assays for 5-hmC determination are needed as many of the techniques commonly used to assay 5-methylcytosine (5-mC), including conventional methyl-sensitive restriction digest and bisulfite sequencing, are incapable of distinguishing between 5-mC and 5-hmC. Results: Glycosylation of 5-hmC residues by beta-Glucosyl Transferase (beta-GT) can make CCGG residues insensitive to digestion by MspI. We used this premise to modify the HELP-tagging assay to identify both 5-mC and 5-hmC loci in the genome. Comparison of sequencing libraries after HpaII, MspI and MspI+ beta-GT conversion resulted in locus specific 5-mC and 5-hmC determination. A custom bioinformatics pipeline was created to identify 5-hmC sites that were validated at global level by LS-MS and the locus specific level by qRT-PCR of 5-hmC pulldown DNA. Hydroxymethylation at both promoter and intragenic locations correlated positively with gene expression. Analysis of pancreatic cancer samples revealed striking redistribution of 5-hmC sites in cancer cells and demonstrated enrichment of this modification at many oncogenic promoters such as GATA6. Conclusions: The HELP-GT assay allows a high resolution, simultaneous determination of 5-hmC and 5-mC loci from small amounts of DNA with the utilisation of modest sequencing resources. Redistribution of 5-hmC seen in cancer highlights the importance of examining this modification in conjugation with conventional methylome analysis.

5-hmC in the brain: abundance in synaptic genes and differences at the exon-intron boundary (tiling array)

Project description:5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC), a derivative of 5-methylcytosine (5-mC), is abundant in the brain for unknown reasons. We mapped the genomic distribution of 5-hmC and 5-mC in human and mouse tissues using glucosylation of 5-hmC coupled with restriction enzyme digestion, and interrogation on microarrays. We detected 5-hmC enrichment in genes with synapse-related functions in the brain. We also identified significant, tissue-specific differential distributions of these DNA modifications at the exon-intron boundary, in both human and mouse. This boundary change was mainly due to 5-hmC in the brain, but due to 5-mC in non-neural contexts. This pattern was replicated in multiple independent datasets, and the brain-specific change in 5-hmC was validated using single-molecule sequencing. Moreover, in the brain, constitutive exons contained higher levels of 5-hmC, relative to alternatively-spliced exons. Our study suggests a novel role for 5-hmC in RNA splicing and synaptic function in the brain
