Expression profiling of secondary wild type (WT) and Ezh2-null murine MLL-AF9 AML

ABSTRACT: We evaluated gene expression changes in secondary recipient murine leukemia caused by retroviral overexpression of MLL-AF9. We compared wild-type (WT) leukemia cells with mutant leukemia cells after cre-mediated inactivation of a homozygous conditional allele for Ezh2, a component of the Polycomb Repressive Complex2. For WT cells, 4 biological replicates were hybridized. For Ezh2-null cells, 5 biological replicates were hybridized.

A growing body of data suggests the importance of epigenetic mechanisms in cancer. Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) has been implicated in self-renewal and cancer progression, and its components are overexpressed in many cancers. However, its role in cancer development and progression remains unclear. We used conditional alleles for the PRC2 components enhancer of zeste 2 (Ezh2) and embryonic ectoderm development (Eed) to characterize the role of PRC2 function in leukemia development and pro ...[more]

Project description:Aberrant expression of the homeodomain transcription factor CDX2 occurs in most cases of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and promotes leukemogenesis, making CDX2, in principle, an attractive therapeutic target. Conversely, CDX2 acts as a tumor suppressor in colonic epithelium. The effectors mediating the leukemogenic activity of CDX2 and the mechanism underlying its context-dependent properties are poorly characterized, and strategies for interfering with CDX2 function in AML remain elusive. We report data implicating repression of the transcription factor KLF4 as important for the oncogenic activity of CDX2, and demonstrate that CDX2 differentially regulates KLF4 in AML versus colon cancer cells through a mechanism that involves tissue-specific patterns of promoter binding and epigenetic modifications. Furthermore, we identified deregulation of the PPARγ signaling pathway as a feature of AML expressing CDX2, and observed that PPARγ agonists derepress KLF4 and are preferentially toxic to CDX2-positive leukemic cells. These data delineate transcriptional programs associated with CDX2 expression in hematopoietic cells; provide insight into the antagonistic duality of CDX2 function in AML versus colon cancer; and suggest reactivation of KLF4 expression, through modulation of PPARγ signaling, as a new therapeutic modality in a large proportion of AML patients. Experiment 1 (Samples 1-6): The transcriptional changes induced by Cdx2 were assessed ex vivo in primary murine hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Bone marrow cells were harvested from 3x15 C57BL/6 mice, and differentiated cells were removed by incubation with rat antibodies against lineage antigens (CD3, CD4, CD8, Gr-1, B220, CD19, IL-7R, Ter119) followed by depletion with magnetic beads (Dynabeads, Invitrogen). Lineage-depleted cells were stained with APC-conjugated anti-c-Kit and PE-Cy5-conjugated goat anti-rat antibodies, and c-Kit+ Lin– cells were sorted using a BD FACSAria cell sorter (BD Biosciences). Cells were plated in RetroNectin-coated tissue culture dishes (Takara Bio) and transduced twice with pMSCV-Cdx2-IRES-GFP or pMSCV-IRES-GFP retroviral constructs. After 48 hours, GFP-positive cells were sorted using a BD FACSAria cell sorter. Experiment 2 (Samples 7-10): The transcriptional changes induced by Cdx2 were assessed in vivo in Cdx2-initiated murine leukemias and compared with those of leukemias initiated by 5 different MLL fusion oncogenes (previously published data, available at GSE13690). Bone marrow cells isolated from C57BL/6 mice were transduced with pMSCV-Cdx2-IRES-GFP, and 8x10e5 GFP-positive cells were injected into lethally irradiated syngeneic recipient mice after 48 hours, followed by injection of 1x10e6 spleen cells from primary leukemic animals into sublethally irradiated secondary recipients. Spleen cells from secondary leukemic animals were harvested.

Project description:The Rosa-rtTAnls/tetO-HoxA10 mouse model is a Tetracycline-On (tetO) system in which the expression level of HoxA10 can be tightly regulated and overexpressed under administration of the Doxycycline (Doxy) in the drinking bottle of mice or fed with Ciproxine (Cipro) as a negative control of HoxA10 expression. In this experiment, we analyzed molecular karyotype derived from CGH arrays analysis of HoxA10 Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) cells induced in primary recipient mice (1ary) and in secondary recipient mice, with HoxA10 overexpression (DOXY) or after turning off the HoxA10 overexpression (CIPRO). Concerning the biological design, we compared leukemia induced in primary recipient mice (1ary) to normal bone marrow (normal control). We compared also primary leukemia (1ary) to leukemia induced in secondary recipient mice induce by continuous expression of HoxA10 (Doxy). Finally we compared leukemia induced in secondary recipient mice induce by continuous expression of HoxA10 (Doxy) to leukemia induced in secondary recipient mice after turning off expression of HoxA10 (Cipro) to analyse relapse growth of leukemic cells after turning off HoxA10. Concerning the protocol, the leukemic cells originated from two independent primary AML donor mice (cl1 and cl2) are injected in secondary recipient mice, which are monitored for reoccurrence of leukemia. AML are induced by Doxycycline (Doxy) or Ciproxine as negative control (Cipro), by administration of 0.2g/mL continuously in the drinking bottle until development of AML. In sick mice, femurs and tibias were removed and cleaned of soft tissue, bones were crushed, and the cell suspension was filtered over a 100-m pore size cell strainer filter (Falcon; Becton Dickinson). Total DNA from BM cells of Cipro and Doxy receiving recipient mice suffering from leukemia was extracted from bone marrow cells (Qiagen). DNA concentration and integrity were respectively determined by NanoDrop spectrophotometry (NanoDrop technologies) and a Bioanalyser (Agilent technology). Hybridization to Mouse CGH microarray 244A (Agilent) were performed by the Atlas Biolabs (Germany).
