Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and other myeloid malignancies, are frequently treated with hypomethylating agents like decitabine. Alterations in the epigenome, induced by decitabine, are likely to result in gene expression changes. The effects of decitabine have not been systemically studied using primary AML samples. We cultured 18 different primary AML samples for 7 days, the last 3 days of which included 100 nM decitabine (DAC) or 100 nm cytarabine (AraC). We hypothesized that decitabine treatment would result in detectable and consistent gene expression changes. For comparison, we also analyzed mRNA from cells treated with DMSO control (mock) and mRNA from uncultured cells taken at the time of diagnosis.

Project description:RARA haploinsufficiency is an invariable consequence of t(15;17) reciprocal translocations in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Furthermore, retinoids and RARA activity have been implicated in hematopoietic self-renewal, lineage commitment and neutrophil maturation. We and others therefore predicted that RARA haploinsufficiency would contribute to APL pathogenesis. To test this hypothesis we crossed RARA+/- mice with mice expressing PML-RARA from the Cathepsin G locus (mCG-PR). We found that RARA haploinsufficiency cooperated with PML-RARA, only modestly influencing the pre-leukemic and leukemic phenotype. Bone marrow from mCG-PR+/- x RARA+/- mice had decreased numbers of mature myeloid cells, increased ex vivo myeloid cell proliferation and an increased competitive advantage following transplantation. RARA haploinsufficiency did not alter mCG-PR dependent leukemic latency or penetrance, but did influence the distribution of leukemic cells; mCG-PR+/- x RARA+/- mice presented more commonly with low to normal white blood cell counts and with myeloid infiltration of lymph nodes. APL arising in these mice was responsive to ATRA, and had virtually no differences in expression profiling compared to tumors arising in mCG-PR+/- x RARA+/+ mice. These phenotypes were dependent on PML-RARA activity, since they were not detected in RARA+/- mice in the absence of the mCG-PR transgene. These data show that RARA haploinsufficiency (like PML haploinsufficiency and RARA-PML) can cooperate with PML-RARA to influence the pathogenesis and phenotype of APL in mice, but that PML-RARA is the driver of t(15;17) APL. RARA+/- mice were crossed with mice expressing PML-RARA from Cathepsin G locus (mCG-PR). Five leukemic mice were chosen from each of the mCG-PR+/-RARA+/- and mCG-PR+/-RARA+/+ strains and total RNA extracted from the spleen samples were analyzed using Affymetrics Mouse Exon 1.0 platform

Project description:Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is associated with PML-RARA expression and late myeloid maturation arrest. The myeloid restriction of PML-RARA dependent leukemia has been recapitulated in multiple mouse models of APL, including PML-RARA expressed from the Ctsg locus (mCG-PR). However, we report here that Ctsg expression is not limited to promyelocytes (as had previously been thought); Ctsg RNA is detectable in KLS cells, and mCG-PR mice express PML-RARA within the same compartment, an event that alters multilineage hematopoiesis. However, these animals only develop myeloid leukemia (consistent with the myeloid restriction of human PML-RARA-associated leukemia). Our results suggest that APL is shaped by myeloid- and development-specific factors that define the ultimate leukemic phenotype rather than PML-RARA acting in a committed myeloid precursor. Bone marrow from individual mice expressing PML-RARA from the murine Ctg locus (mCG-PR) and littermate controls was harvested from both femurs and tibia. Standard cell lysis was performed and total RNA was extracted from the flow sorted KLS and SLAM cells. A total of 13 specimens including 3 x mCG-PR_KLS_6wks, 2 x mCG-PR_KLS_13wks,2 x mCG-PR_SLAM_7wks, 4 x WT_KLS_12-13wks (control) and 2 x WT_SLAM_6wks (control) were analyzed using Affymetrics Mouse Exon 1.0 ST platform.

Project description:Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) is characterized by the t(15;17)(q22;q11.2) translocation, which creates a PML-RARA fusion gene that can initiate APL in mice. To discover cooperating mutations in this model, we sequenced a mouse APL genome to 15.6x haploid coverage, and discovered three somatic, non-synonymous mutations, of which one (Jak1 V657F) was recurrent. This mutation is identical to the JAK1 V658F mutation previously found in human APL and ALL samples. JAK1 V658F cooperates in vivo with PML-RARA, causing a rapidly fatal leukemia. We also discovered a somatic 150kb deletion involving the Kdm6a/Utx gene in the mouse APL genome; 3/14 additional mouse APL samples had similar deletions involving Kdm6a/Utx. Kdm6A/Utx, a histone H3K27 demethylase, was also deleted in 1/150 human AML samples tested. Whole genome sequencing of mouse cancer genomes provides an unbiased approach for discovering functionally relevant mutations that are also present in human leukemias. Spleens from Bl/6 Taconic mice were harvested and total RNA was extracted. A total of 15 specimens were analyzed using the Affymetrix Mouse Exon 1.0 ST platform.

Project description:Because PML-RARA-positive acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a morphologically differentiated leukemia, much speculation has been made about whether its leukemic cell of origin might be committed myeloid precursor (e.g., a promyelocyte) vs. a hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell (HSPC). We originally targeted PML-RARA expression with CTSG regulatory elements, based on the early observation that this gene was maximally expressed in cells with promyelocyte morphology. Here, we show that both Ctsg and PML-RARA targeted to the Ctsg locus (in Ctsg-PML-RARA mice) are detected in the purified KLS cells of these mice (Kit+Lin-Sca+ cells, which are highly enriched for HSPCs), and this expression results in biological effects in multi-lineage competitive repopulation assays. Although PML-RARA is indeed expressed at high levels in the promyelocytes of Ctsg-PML-RARA mice, it does not significantly alter the transcriptional signature of these cells, or induce their self-renewal. In sum, these results suggest that in murine models, PML-RARA acts primarily to affect the function of multi-potent progenitor cells, rather than promyelocytes. Since PML/Pml is normally expressed in the HSPCs of both humans and mice, and since some human APL samples contain TCR rearrangements and express T lineage genes, we suggest that the very early hematopoietic expression of PML-RARA in our mouse model may closely mimic the physiologic expression pattern of PML-RARA in human APL patients. Bone marrow from individual mice expressing PML-RARA from the murine Ctg locus (mCG-PR) and littermate controls was harvested from both femurs and tibia. Standard cell lysis was performed, and total RNA was extracted from the cells and analyzed using the Affymetrix Mouse Exon 1.0 ST platform.

Project description:Multiple DNA methylation changes have been associated with the acquisition of drug resistance; however it remains uncertain how many of these changes may represent critical DNA methylation drivers of chemoresistance. Using gene expression profiling method on HGU133plus2 array, we identified a total of 1370 genes showing significant gene expression changes with 687 genes going up and 683 genes going down in the resistant (cp70) versus sensitive cell lines (A2780) by Rank Product (FDR<5%). Combining expression profiling with methylation profiling data we found out of 245 hypermethylated and down-regulated genes in the resistant cell line, 41 genes were up-regulated following Decitabine treatment alone, 45 genes up-regulated following combined treatment of Decitabine and PXD101, and only 10 genes up-regulated following PXD101 treatment alone. Altogether we found a small set of genes as being potential key drivers of chemoresistance and should be further evaluated as predictive biomarkers, both to existing chemotherapies, but also to epigenetic therapies used to modulate drug resistance. Gene expression profiling was obtained from A2780, and CP70 before and after Decitabine and/or PXD101 treatment. Each sample have biological triplicates. Using Rank Product package in R (version 2.10.1), differentially expressed genes with FDR<5% were identified.

Project description:The epigenetic regulation, for example, DNA methylation, controls the development and differentiation of both tumor cells and immunocytes. Treatment with DNA demethylating agent (such as decitabine) has shown a dramatic clinical benefit in hematological malignancies and solid tumors. However, the influence of epigenetic therapy on host immune system remains unclear. To investigate the effects of low-dose decitabine therapy on T cells, We collected whole blood samples from two solid tumor patients pre and post low-dose decitabine therapy, and detected the expression profiles of PBMCs.

Project description:Aplidin (plitidepsin) is a novel antitumor agent isolated from the Mediterranean tunicate Aplidium albicans. Aplidin has shown impressive in vitro and in vivo activity against various cancer cell lines. Based on the results from several laboratories Aplidin has recently been granted orphan drug designation for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and Multiple Myeloma (MM) by the European Commision and Food and Drug Administration. Aplidin has selective cytotoxicity in vitro towards leukemia cells as compared to hematopoeitic progenitors and lacks cross-resistance with other known cytotoxic drugs with the exception of gemcitabine (Leukemia, 2003, Bresters, Broekhuizen). Here, a systematic study of drug combinations with Aplidin, for possible use in hematological malignancies was undertaken. The combination of cytarabine (AraC) and Aplidin was found to be synergistic in three cell lines tested: CCRF-CEM, a human T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia cell line, K562, a acute mylelogenous leukemia cell line and SKI-DLCL, a human Diffuse Large Cell Lymphoma cell line. The combination was further tested in the CCRF-CEM and the SKI-DLCL xenograft model in SCID mice. In an attempt to understand the basis of Aplidin action (alone and in combination) on leukemia and lymphoma cells in vitro and in vivo, gene expression profiling was carried out. Results indicate that multiple cellular pathways are effected by treatment with Aplidine including MAPK signaling, WNT signaling, cell cycle and ATP synthesis. Additionally we have found that that cells lacking functional mitochondria are resistant to Aplidin. Mitochondrial membrane potential and reactive oxygen spicies production was increased following Aplidin treatment but the overall synthesis of ATP was decreased. Addition of AraC to Aplidin resulted in depolarization of mitochondrial membrane and even further increase of ROS production. AraC alone did not affect the cellular ATP pool thus significantly potentiating Aplidin induced apoptosis. Our studies suggest that cancer cell mitochondria may be a target of Aplidin. Based on these studies, a phase I study of the combination of Aplidin and AraC is planned for the treatment of patients with relapsed leukemia. Overall design. Overall goal of the experiment was to obtain molecular insight into the mechanism of action of Aplidin alone as well as its combination with AraC. SKI-DLCL cells were treated in vitro with IC50 doses for Aplidin, AraC or Aplidin+AraC combination. Each samples was done in biological triplicates. Total number of samples was 12. Alternatively, SKI-DLCL cells were injected into scid mice and when the tumor was pulpable animals were given a single dose of Aplidin 1mg/kg and AraC 50mg/kg in combination. On day eight after drugs administration tumors were harvested and total RNA was isolated. No replicates are available. Data was validated using semi-quantitative RT-PCR

Project description:Reactivation of gamma-globin is considered a promising approach for the treatment of beta-thalassaemia and sickle cell disease. Therapeutic induction of gamma-globin expression is fraught with lack of suitable therapeutic targets. In order to identify new potential targets we analysed the changes in the proteome of human primary erythroid progenitor cells by treatment with decitabine, a known, yet not clinically safe, gamma-globin inducer. Significant differentially expressed proteins were identified which were involved in various biological pathways and functional categories.
