Project description:Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) stereotyped subsets #6 and #8 include cases expressing unmutated B cell receptor immunoglobulin (BcR IG) (U-CLL). Yet, subset #6 (IGHV1-69/IGKV3-20) is less aggressive compared to subset #8 (IGHV4-39/IGKV1(D)-39) which has the highest risk for Richter’s transformation among all CLL. The underlying reasons for this divergent clinical behavior are not fully elucidated. To gain insight into this issue, here we focused on epigenomic signatures and their links with gene expression, particularly investigating genome-wide DNA methylation profiles in subsets #6 and #8 as well as other U-CLL cases not expressing stereotyped BcR IG using the Illumina 450k methylation arrays. Additionally we analysed the methylation profiles of naive and memory B cell subsets from healthy donors and compared them with those of the CLL cases.

Project description:Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is renowned for its variable clinical course and response to therapy, suggesting a role for precision medicine. However, the molecular basis of CLL variability remains incompletely understood. Recent developments in data independent acquisition (DIA) -MS technologies, such as SWATH (Sequential Windowed Acquisition of all THeoretical fragments), provide an opportunity to study the pathophysiology of CLL at the proteome level. This report describes the sample replication and data handling requirements for SWATH-MS analysis of clinical samples. A CLL-specific spectral library compromising over 1,500,000 spectra with digital information for over 150,000 peptides has been generated to enable the quantification of up to 7736 proteins. To assess the reproducibility of the assay, SWATH-MS analysis was performed on 6 cryopreserved CLL patient samples, incorporating biological (IGHV mutational status), sample preparation and MS technical replicates. Quantitative information was obtained for 5169 proteins (<1% FDR) across 54 SWATH-MS acquisitions. These analyses showed that SWATH-MS is a highly reproducible technique. However, replicate sample preparations on different days was identified as the main source of variation. To overcome the effect of variation between sample preparation batches, different computational approaches for batch correction were tested. All approaches successfully removed technical variability whilst retaining proteomic differences between clinical subgroups. Functional enrichment analysis of proteins associated to IGHV mutational status highlighted the importance of metabolic remodelling in the biology of CLL and overlapped significantly with previous studies based on gene expression profiling. Finally, an approach to perform statistical power analysis in proteomics studies was developed. This approach could be used to drive the design of future CLL SWATH-MS studies. These fundamental requirements for DIA approaches should be widely applicable to other clinical proteomics studies.

Project description:Prospective series of 136 clinical monoclonal B lymphocytosis (cMBL) and 216 chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) Rai 0 patients, were investigated in this study. While the distribution of CD38 and ZAP-70 positivity was similar, IGHV-mutated cases were more frequent among cMBL (P = 0.005). A Cox multivariate analysis on the whole patient cohort showed that cMBL condition was predictive of longer PFS, while CD38 expression and IGHV-unmutated status and CD38 expression correlated significantly with a shorter PFS in cMBL and Rai0-CLL, respectively. Trisomy 12, 11q- and 17p- abnormalities were scanty and of no predictive value in both conditions. Notably, gene and miRNA expression profiling showed no significant differences between cMBL and Rai0-CLL. Furthermore, similar gene and miRNA expression signatures were found in cMBL and Rai0-CLL according to the IGHV gene mutational status: that is, unmutated cases had different signatures from mutated cases, irrespectively of the cMBL or CLL condition. Overall, our study based on a prospective series of patients indicates that no major biological differences exist in cMBL compared to Rai0-CLL, suggesting that this two entities mainly differ for the initial size of the monoclonal cell population which may reflect in the longer time for clonal expansion. This series of microarray experiments contains the gene expression profiles of purified B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) cells obtained from 160 patients (Binet stage A) including 45 cMBL and 115 Rai0-CLL. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from CLL patients were isolated by Ficoll-Hypaque (Seromed, Biochrom KG, Berlin, Germany) density-gradient centrifugation. For gene and miRNA expression profiling experiments CLL cells were enriched by negative selection with the EasySep-Human B cell enrichment kit without CD43 depletion (Stem Cell Technologies) using the fully automated protocol of immunomagnetic cell separation with RoboSepTM (Stem Cell Technologies).

Project description:Tumor cell survival critically depends on heterotypic communication with benign cells in the microenvironment. Here we describe a novel survival signaling pathway activated in stromal cells by contact to B-cells from chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients. The expression of PKC-M-NM-2II and the subsequent activation of NF-M-NM-:B in bone marrow stromal cells is a prerequisite to support the survival of malignant B-cells. PKC-M-NM-2 knockout mice are insusceptible to CLL-transplantations, underscoring the in vivo significance of the PKC-M-NM-2II- NF-M-NM-:B signaling pathway in the tumor microenvironment. Upregulated stromal PKC-M-NM-2II in biopsies from CLL, breast- and pancreatic- cancer patients suggest that this pathway may commonly be activated in a variety of malignancies. We used microarrays to determine gene expression changes induced by co-culturing with leukemic B-cells (CLL) in EL08-1D2 cells. We compared EL08-1D2 cells co-cultured for 5 days with leukemic B-cells to EL08-1D2 mono-cultured cells by microarray analysis on Affymetrix MG-430_2.0 arrays.

Project description:Distinct genetic abnormalities such as TP53 deletion at 17p13.1, have been identified as having an adverse prognostic relevance in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). Conventional cytogenetic studies have shown that TP53 deletion in B-CLL is associated predominantly with 17p loss resulting from complex chromosomal rearrangements. We performed genome-wide DNA (SNPs arrays), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and gene expression profiling (GEP) analyses to investigate the significance of 17p loss in a panel of 71 genetically well-characterized B-CLLs in Binet stage A, 18 of which carried a TP53 monoallelic deletion. Combined SNP arrays and FISH approaches showed 17p loss in all of the TP53-deleted cases, with breakpoints scattered along the 17p11.2 region. Mutations in exons 5 to 9 of TP53 were found in 9/12 deleted samples. GEP of 60 B-CLLs, including 7 patients with 17p loss, identified 40 differentially expressed genes in 17p- versus 17p normal samples, 35 of which were down-regulated in 17p- tumors. The majority (30/35) of these transcripts, including putative tumor suppressor genes, mapped to 17p. Overall, these data indicate that, beside TP53 deletion, the concomitant loss of 17p arm may contribute to the strong negative prognostic impact known to be associated with this lesion in B-CLL. Keywords: genomic analysis of B-CLL with 17p loss patients This series of microarray experiments contains the genome-wide profiles of purified B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) cells obtained from 12 newly diagnosed patients (Binet stage A). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from B-CLL patients were isolated by Ficoll-Hypaque density-gradient centrifugation and the proportion of CD5/CD19/CD23 triple positive B cells in the suspension was determined by direct immunofluorescence performed using a FACS-sort flow cytometer with antibodies to: CD19 FITC/PE, CD23 PE and CD5 Cy-Chrome. If B-CLL cells were less than 90%, T cells, NK cells and monocytes were removed by negative selection using CD3, CD56, CD16, and CD14 monoclonal antibody treatment followed by magnetic beads. 250 nanograms of genomic DNA was processed and, in accordance with the manufacturer's protocols, 40 micrograms of fragmented biotin-labelled DNA were hybridized on GeneChip Human Mapping 50K XbaI Arrays (Affymetrix Inc.). The arrays were scanned using the GeneChip Scanner 3000 7G. The images were acquired using Affymetrix GeneChip® Operating Software (GCOS version 1.4). Copy number values for individual SNPs were extracted and converted from CEL files into signal intensities using GTYPE 4.1 and Affymetrix Copy Number Analysis Tool (CNAT 4.0.1) softwares. Genomic Smoothing analysis was performed by using the smoothing window of 1 Mb, and inferred copy number states were derived from a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based algorithm implemented in CNAT 4.0.1.

Project description:Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a clinically heterogeneous disease characterized by chromosomal aberrations of prognostic significance. Recent studies showed that gain of chromosome 2p is a recurrent lesion in CLL. We investigated the 2p gain and its relationship with prognostic biomarkers in a prospective series of 287 early-stage CLLs (Binet A). The 2p gain was detected by FISH in 17 patients (6%) and further characterized by single nucleotide polymorphism-array. Overall, unfavorable cytogenetic deletions, i.e. del(11)(q23) and del(17)(p13) (P=0.002) as well as unmutated (UM) status of IGHV (P<1M-CM-^W10-4) and CD38 (P<1M-CM-^W10-4) and ZAP-70 positive expression (P=0.003) were significantly more prevalent in 2p gain cases. Furthermore, 2p gained patients showed a significantly higher occurrence of stereotyped HCDR3 sequences compared to 2p normal CLLs (P=0.009). Among the stereotyped subsets, the incidence of subset #1 in 2p positive patients was significantly higher than that found in the remaining CLLs (P=0.031). Finally, gene expression profiling analysis identified a number of genes significantly upregulated in 2p gain CLLs. Among those located at 2p, NCOA1 and ROCK2 are known for their involvement in tumor progression in several human cancers, whereas among those located in different chromosomes, CAV1 at 7q31.1 has been recently identified to play a critical role in CLL progression. Our study indicates that 2p gain is a recurrent lesion in early CLL, correlated with the major biological and cytogenetic risk markers of the disease. Moreover, we provide insights to define novel candidate genes that may play additional pathogenetic roles in CLL. This series of microarray experiments contains the genome-wide profiles of purified B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) cells obtained from 10 patients (Binet stage A) showing 2p gain alteration. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from B-CLL patients were isolated by Ficoll-Hypaque density-gradient centrifugation and the proportion of CD5/CD19/CD23 triple positive B cells in the suspension was determined by direct immunofluorescence performed using a FACS-sort flow cytometer with antibodies to: CD19 FITC/PE, CD23 PE and CD5 Cy-Chrome.

The arrays were scanned using the GeneChip Scanner 3000 7G. The images were acquired using Affymetrix GeneChipM-BM-. Operating Software (GCOS version 1.4). Copy number values for individual SNPs were extracted and converted from CEL files into signal intensities using GTYPE 4.1 and Affymetrix Copy Number Analysis Tool (CNAT 4.0.1) softwares. The raw data for individual SNPs were extracted from CEL files and converted into signal intensities using GTYPE 4.1 and Affymetrix Copy Number Analysis Tool (CNAT 4.0.1) softwares using the Hidden Markov Model algorithm with a genomic smoothing window set to 0. After the pre-processing, piecewise constant estimates of the underlying local DNA copy number (CN) variation was calculated using the DNAcopy Bioconductor package, which looks for optimal breakpoints using circular binary segmentation (CBS).
