Bone marrow infiltrated Lnc-INSR induced suppressive immune microenvironment in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

ABSTRACT: Immune escape due to immunosuppressive microenvironments, such as those associated with regulatory T (Treg) cells is highly associated with initial occurrence and development of solid tumors or hematologic malignancies. Here, we employed high-throughput transcriptome screening to demonstrate immunosuppression-associated increases in the long noncoding (lnc) RNA lnc-insulin receptor precursor (INSR), which was corrected with INSR expression in CD4+ T cells extracted from the bone marrow of patients with childhood acute T lymphoblastic leukemia. Loss-of-function and gain-of-function assays in vitro and in vivo revealed that membrane-localized and cytoplasm-localized lnc-INSR promoted Treg distribution and decreased the percentage of cytotoxic T lymphocytes, which induced tumor growth. Through direct binding with INSR, lnc-INSR blocked the INSR ubiquitination site, causing abnormal activation of INSR and the phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase/AKT-signaling pathway. These results indicated that lnc-INSR might promote immune suppression by enhancing Treg-cell differentiation and serve as valuable therapeutic targets in the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.

Project description:Pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) contains cytogenetically distinct subtypes that respond differently to cytotoxic drugs. Subtype classification can be also achieved through gene expression profiling. However, how to apply such classifiers to a single patient and correctly diagnose the disease subtype in an independent patient group has not been addressed. Furthermore, the underlying regulatory mechanisms responsible for the subtype-specific gene expression patterns are still largely unknown. Here, by combining three published microarray datasets (PMIDs: 12086872, 12730115, 17002788) on 535 Caucasian samples and generating a new dataset on 100 Chinese children ALL samples, we were able to 1) identify a 62-gene classifier with 97.6% accuracy from the Caucasian samples and validated it on the completely independent set of 100 Chinese samples, 2) to uncover potential regulatory networks of ALL subtypes. The classifier we identified was so far the only one that could be applied directly to a single sample and sustained validation in a large independent patient group. Our results also suggest that the etiology of ALL is largely the same among different ethnic groups, and that the transcription factor hubs in the predicted regulatory network might play important roles in regulating gene expression and development of ALL. A total of 100 Chinese pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia bone marrow (BM) samples were analyzed, together with five non-ALL BM samples as negative control (the five samples were combined to generate one control, see details in Li et al. Blood, 2009). The diagnosis of ALL was based on morphology, immunology, cytogenetic and molecular (MICM) classification. Cytogenetic ALL subtypes were identified experimentally by G-banding karyotype and multiplex nested RT-PCR. Among the 100 ALL patients, eleven relapsed within five years. All the samples, including those relapsed afterward, were from patients treated on BCH-2003 protocol and were extracted at their initial diagnosis. The five non-ALL BM samples were taken from the removed bones of patients who had plastic surgery for their bone deformity in Beijing Children’s Hospital. And the informed consent was obtained from parents, guardians, or patients (as appropriate). More details are available in Li et al. Gene expression-based classification and regulatory networks of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Blood, 2009. We have generated these ALL and control samples to validate that a high accuracy subtype classifier that we identified could be applied directly to a single sample and sustained validation in a large independent patient group.
