The enzymatic activities of CD38 enhance CLL growth and trafficking: implications for therapeutic targeting

ABSTRACT: The ecto-enzyme CD38 is a marker of unfavorable prognosis for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients and an indicator of activation and proliferation of leukemic cells. Here we show that CD38 is enzymatically active in primary CLL cells and that its forced expression increases disease aggressiveness in a xenograft model. The effect is completely lost when using an enzyme deficient version of CD38 with a single amino-acid mutation. Through the enzymatic conversion of NAD, CD38 increases cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentrations, positively influencing proliferation, chemotaxis, adhesion and matrix digestion. Inhibition of the enzymatic activities of CD38 using the flavonoid kuromanin blocks CLL homing. In a short-term xenograft model using primary cells, kuromanin treatment traps CLL cells in the blood, increasing responses to chemotherapy. Microarrays were performed comparing genetic signature derived from Mec-1 cell line variants, generated infecting cells by lentiviruses carrying the genetic material for a wild-type (CD38WT ) or an enzymatically-inactive form of CD38 (CD38M), grown in vitro and in vivo in NSG mice. GFP+ Mec-1 clones (Mec-1/GFP) were generated with the same protocol and used as control.

CD38 enzymatic activity promotes hematopoietic stem cell dormancy [scRNA-Seq]

Project description:Quiescence is a fundamental property that protects hematopoietic stem cells’ (HSCs) function throughout life. A subpopulation of deeply quiescent, so-called dormant HSCs (dHSCs) harbors the highest long-term blood repopulation capacity and resides at the top of the hematopoietic hierarchy. However, the mechanisms of HSC dormancy remain elusive, mainly due to the absence of surface markers for dHSCs’ prompt isolation. We identified CD38 nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) catabolic ecto-enzyme as a novel surface marker for murine dHSCs. The product of CD38 cyclase activity – cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose (cADPR), regulates the expression of the transcription factor and cell cycle regulator c-Fos via an increase of cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration. Strikingly, we uncovered that c-Fos drives HSCs quiescence through the induction of the cell cycle inhibitor p57Kip2 expression. Moreover, we found a similar CD38-dependent mechanism of quiescence regulation for human HSCs, which are CD38 negative. Specifically, we found that CD38 ecto-enzymatic activity at the neighboring CD38-positive cells promote human HSCs’ dormancy. Together, our work reveals how extracellular metabolic cues trigger a signaling cascade blocking HSC cell cycle entrance. Pharmacological manipulations of defined pathway will provide new strategies to modulate HSCs activation upon infections, blood loss or transplantation in clinical practice.

SLAMF1/CD150 regulates chemotaxis, autophagy and therapy responses in chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients

Project description:This work shows that signaling-lymphocytic-activation-molecule-1 (SLAMF1), a co-stimulatory molecule and a microbial sensor, is expressed by normal CD19+/CD5+ B-lymphocytes. Its expression is lost in a subset of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) characterized by an aggressive form of the disease, with shorter time to first treatment and overall survival. Silencing of SLAMF1 in the CLL-like Mec-1 cell line (constitutively SLAMF1+) modulated pathways connected to cell migration, cytoskeletal organization and intracellular vesicle formation/recirculation. Loss of SLAMF1 was associated to increased expression of CXCR4, CD38 and CD44, positively affecting chemotactic responses to CXCL12. Ligation of SLAMF1 with an agonistic monoclonal antibody promoted the autophagic flux, by increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and inducing phosphorylation of p38, JNK1/2 and bcl-2. The direct consequence was the assembly of the autophagy macro-complex that included SLAMF1, the scaffold protein Beclin1 and the enzyme Vps34. Consistently, SLAMF1-silenced cells or SLAMF1low primary CLL cells were resistant to autophagy-activating therapeutic agents, such as fludarabine or the BH3 mimetic ABT-737. These results indicate that loss of SLAMF1 expression modulates genetic pathways regulating chemotaxis and autophagy and potentially affecting drug responses, thus providing a likely explanation for the unfavorable clinical outcome experienced by this patient subset. Microarrays were performed comparing genetic signature of CLL-like Mec-1 cell line (constitutively SLAMF1+), transfected with a non-effective (scrambled) shRNA cassette (TR30013) used as control, and a Mec-1 variant generated silencing SLAMF1 gene using pGFP-V-RS construct for SLAMF1 shRNA (TG309422). For each cell line variants, grown in vitro in complete medium, three biological replicates were included in the chip.

CD38 modulates CXCR4 signals in chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells: potential therapeutic implications

Project description:Recent data indicate that CD38, a cell surface enzyme and receptor, is part of the complex network of signals underlying the development, maintenance and progression of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Here we show that CD38 signals directly facilitate short- (ERK1/2 phosphorylation) and long-term (chemotaxis) effects induced by CXCL12 exposure. Use of i) a specific enzyme inhibitor, ii) an agonistic anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody (mAb) and iii) microarray studies led to the conclusion that the receptor-like functions of CD38 are responsible for the observed effects. Interactions between CD38 and its non substrate ligand CD31 define a genetic signature characterized by modulation of a significant number of genetic pathways, involved in proliferation and migration. Blocking CD38 with domain-specific mAbs significantly lowers CXCL12 effects, in terms of ERK1/2 phosphorylation and chemotaxis. The molecular explanation behind the blocking activity of these mAbs lies in physical proximity between CD38 and the CXCL12 receptor CXCR4, as demonstrated by i) co-immunoprecipitation, ii) confocal microscopy and iii) direct measurement of CXCL12 binding to its receptor. Lastly, blocking anti-CD38 mAbs were successfully used in vivo to interfere with CLL cell recirculation from blood to the lymphoid organs, an event critically controlled by CXCL12. These results represent a first step towards the validation of anti-CD38 mAbs as potential therapeutics for certain CLL patients. Keywords: gene expression profiling by microarray, CLL, CD31, CD38

CLL: CD38+CD49d+ vs. CD38-CD49d-

Project description:CD38 and CD49d are associated negative prognosticators in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Despite evidence that both molecules are involved in interactions occurring between CLL and normal cells in the context of CLL-involved tissues, a functional link is still missing. Using gene expression profiles comparing CD38+CD49d+ vs. CD38-CD49d- CLL cells, we demonstrated overexpression of the CCL3 and CCL4 chemokines in cells from the former group. These chemokines were also upregulated by CD38 signals in CLL; moreover, CCL3 was expressed by CLL cells from bone marrow biopsies (BMB) of CD38+CD49d+ but not CD38-CD49d- cases. High levels of CCR1 and, to a lesser extent, CCR5, the receptors for CCL3 and CCL4, were found in CLL-derived monocyte-macrophages. Consistently, CCL3 increased monocyte migration, and CD68+ macrophage infiltration was particularly high in BMB from CD38+CD49d+ CLL. Conditioned media from CCL3-stimulated macrophages induced endothelial cells to express VCAM-1, the CD49d ligand, likely through TNFα over-production. These effects were apparent in BMB from CD38+CD49d+CLL, where lymphoid infiltrates were characterized by a prominent meshwork of VCAM-1+ stromal/endothelial cells. Lastly, CD49d engagement by VCAM-1-transfectants increased viability of CD38+CD49d+ CLL cells. Altogether, CD38 and CD49d can be thought of as a part of a consecutive chain of events ultimately leading to improved survival of CLL cells.

Analysis of CD38+ and CD38- sub-clones derived from the same CLL patient

Project description:CD38 expression is an important prognostic marker in CLL with high levels of CD38 associated with shorter overall survival. In this study, we used gene expression profiling and protein analysis of highly purified cell-sorted CD38+ and CD38- chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells to elucidate a molecular basis for the association between CD38 expression and inferior clinical outcome. Paired CD38+ and CD38- CLL cells derived from the same patient were shown to be monoclonal by VH gene sequencing but despite this, CD38+ CLL cells possessed a distinct gene expression profile when compared with their CD38- sub-clones. Keywords: Sub-clonal analysis of CLL cells derived from the same leukemia sample
