Id1 is a common downstream target of oncogenic tyrosine kinases in leukemic cells.

ABSTRACT: Oncogenic tyrosine kinases, such as BCR-ABL, TEL-ABL, TEL-PDGFbetaR, and FLT3-ITD, play a major role in the development of hematopoietic malignancy. They activate many of the same signal transduction pathways. To identify the critical target genes required for transformation in hematopoietic cells, we used a comparative gene expression strategy in which selective small molecules were applied to 32Dcl3 cells that had been transformed to factor-independent growth by these respective oncogenic alleles. We identified inhibitor of DNA binding 1 (Id1), a gene involved in development, cell cycle, and tumorigenesis, as a common target of these oncogenic kinases. These findings were prospectively confirmed in cell lines and primary bone marrow cells engineered to express the respective tyrosine kinase alleles and were also confirmed in vivo in murine models of disease. Moreover, human AML cell lines Molm-14 and K562, which express the FLT3-ITD and BCR-ABL tyrosine kinases, respectively, showed high levels of Id1 expression. Antisense and siRNA based knockdown of Id1-inhibited growth of these cells associated with increased p27(Kip1) expression and increased sensitivity to Trail-induced apoptosis. These findings indicate that Id1 is an important target of constitutively activated tyrosine kinases and may be a therapeutic target for leukemias associated with oncogenic tyrosine kinases.

Project description:"A part of current research has intensively been focused on the proliferation and metabolic processes governing biological systems. Since the advent of high throughput methodologies like microarrays, the load of genomic data has increased geometrically and along with that the need for computational methods which will interpret these data. In the present work we study in vitro the common proliferation and metabolic processes, which are combined to the common oncogenic pathways, as far as gene expression is concerned, between the T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (CCRF-CEM) and the rhabdomyosarcoma (TE-671) cell lines. We present a computational approach, using cDNA microarrays, in order to identify commonalities between diverse biological systems. Our analysis predicted that JAK1, STAT1, PIAS2 and CDK4 are the driving forces in the two cell lines. This type of analysis can lead to the understanding of the common mechanisms that transform physiological cells to malignant, as well as it reveals a new holistic way to understandthe the dynamics of tumor onset as well as the mechanistics of oncogenic drivers. The present work is concerned with the common expressional profile of two cell lines: the T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (CCRF-CEM) and the rhabdomyosarcoma (TE-671) cell lines. Our investigation was focused on the identification of genes that share a common expression profile between the two cell lines. Both cell lines are characterized by the fact that their differentiation has stopped at an early stage, before they mature to their final cell type. Normally, these cells would have matured and progressed into differentiated cells, constituting blood and muscle cells, respectively. At some unknown point, normal differentiation ceased for these cells and they became malignant. From that point on, to the first manifestation of symptoms of malignancy, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the mechanisms underlying oncogenesis. From these observations, the question whether two distinct cell types destined to fulfill different functions, manifest similar mechanisms of growth and progression due to their malignant character, arises. The present study was focused on the identification of the differential expression profiles underlying the two cell lines. A previous report studied the expression profile of seven ARMS cell lines possessing the PAX3-FKHR fusion gene, along with other cell lines of different tumor types (22). To our knowledge, this is the first time that a comparison between two totally different types of neoplasia, such as the CCRF-CEM and TE-671 cell lines, is attempted. These mechanisms are examined with purpose to identify common drivers that lead to the progression of tumor cells. We hereby propose a new computational approach for the investigation of common oncogenic drivers."
