αvβ3 Integrin Expression and Mitogenic Effects by Thyroid Hormones in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common adult leukemia. The thyroid hormones, T3 and T4, bind the αvβ3 integrin and activate phosphorylates ERK (pERK). These tumor-promoting actions were reported in a number of malignancies, but not in CLL.

Methods

Primary cells from 22 CLL patients were verified for disease markers (CD5/CD19/CD23) and analyzed for αvβ3 by flow cytometry (FC), ImageStream, Western blots (WB), and immunohistochemistry (IHC) in archival bone marrow (BM, n = 6) and lymph node (LN, n = 5) tissues. Selected samples (n = 8) were incubated with T3 (1-100 nM) or T4 (0.1-10 µM) for 30 min, and the expression levels of αvβ3, pERK and PCNA (cell proliferation marker) were determined (WB).

Results

αvβ3 was detected on the membrane of circulating CLL cells and in the BM but not in the LN. T3 and T4 enhanced αvβ3 protein levels in primary CLL cells. Similarly, pERK and PCNA were rapidly induced in response to T3 and T4 exposure.

Conclusions

αvβ3 integrin is expressed on primary CLL cells and is induced by thyroid hormones. We further suggest that the hormones are mitogenic in these cells, presumably via αvβ3-mediated signaling.

Integrin αvβ3 acting as membrane receptor for thyroid hormones mediates angiogenesis in malignant T cells

Project description:We have found that thyroid hormones (THs), acting as soluble integrin αvβ3 ligands, activate growth-related signaling pathways in T-cell lymphomas (TCL). Specifically, TH-activated αvβ3 integrin signaling promotes TCL proliferation and angiogenesis, in part, via the up-regulation of VEGF. CUTLL1 cells were treated with T3- and T4-bound agarose or agarose alone for 24hrs. Total RNA was harvested from cells and used for expression profiling via RNA-seq.

αvβ3 Integrin as a Link between the Development of Fibrosis and Thyroid Hormones in Systemic Sclerosis.

Project description:Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease characterized by fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Key players mediating fibrosis are myofibroblasts (MF) that, following transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) exposure, produce a collagen-rich extracellular matrix (ECM) that induces myofibroblast differentiation. Myofibroblasts express αvβ3 integrin (a membrane receptor for thyroid hormones) and miRNA-21 that promotes deiodinase-type-3 expression (D3), causing the degradation of triiodothyronine (T3) that attenuates fibrosis. We hypothesized that αvβ3 affects the fibrotic processes through its thyroid hormones (THs) binding site. To test this, dermal fibroblasts (DF) were cultured with/without TGFβ and removed with a base, leaving only normal/fibrotic ECMs in wells. Then, DF were cultured on the ECMs with/without tetrac (αvβ3 ligand, T4 antagonist), and evaluated for pro-fibrotic characteristics, αvβ3, miRNA-21, and D3 levels. Blood free-T3 (fT3), miRNA-21 levels, and the modified Rodnan skin score (MRSS) were evaluated in SSc patients. We found that the "fibrotic-ECM" significantly increased the pro-fibrotic characteristics of DF and the levels of miRNA-21, D3, and αvβ3, compared to the "normal-ECM." Tetrac significantly inhibited the effects of the "fibrotic-ECM" on the cells. In accordance with tetrac's effect on D3/miRNA-21, a negative correlation was found between the patients' fT3 to miRNA-21 levels, and to the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). We conclude that occupying the THs binding site of αvβ3 may delay the development of fibrosis.

TACI expression and signaling in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Project description:TACI is a membrane receptor of BAFF and APRIL, contributing to the differentiation and survival of normal B cells. Although malignant B cells are also subjected on TACI signaling, there is a remarkable intradisease and interindividual variability of TACI expression in B-cell malignancies. The aim of our study was to explore the possible role of TACI signaling in the biology of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), including its phenotypic and clinical characteristics and prognosis. Ninety-four patients and 19 healthy controls were studied. CLL patients exhibited variable TACI expression, with the majority of cases displaying low to undetectable TACI, along with low to undetectable BAFF and increased APRIL serum levels compared to healthy controls. CLL cells with high TACI expression displayed a better survival capacity in vitro, when cultured with BAFF and/or APRIL. Moreover, TACI expression was positively correlated with the presence of monoclonal gammopathy and inversely with CD11c expression. Therefore, our study provides further evidence for the contribution of BAFF/APRIL signaling to CLL biology, suggesting also that TACI detection might be useful in the selection of patients for novel targeting therapeutic approaches.

FcγRIIb expression in early stage chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Project description:In normal B-cells, B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) signaling can be negatively regulated by the low-affinity receptor FcγRIIb (CD32b). To better understand the role of FcγRIIb in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), we correlated its expression on 155 samples from newly-diagnosed Binet A patients with clinical characteristics and outcome. FcγRIIb expression was similar in normal B-cells and leukemic cells, this being heterogenous among patients and within CLL clones. FcγRIIb expression did not correlate with well known prognostic markers [disease stage, serum beta-2 microglobulin (B2M), IGHV mutational status, expression of ZAP-70 and CD38, and cytogenetics] except for a weak concordance with CD49d. Moreover, patients with low FcγRIIb expression (69/155, 44.5%) required therapy earlier than those with high FcγRIIb expression (86/155, 55.5%) (median 151.4 months vs. not reached; p=.071). These results encourage further investigation on the role of FcγRIIb in CLL biology and prognostic significance in larger series of patients.

Familial chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Project description:Purpose of reviewFamilies with multiple individuals affected with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and other related B-cell tumors have been described in the literature and strong familial aggregation has been seen in population studies. However, predisposing germline mutations have not been identified. We will discuss the spectrum of conditions associated with CLL in families and the advances in identifying the underlying susceptibility genes.Recent findingsFamilial CLL does not appear to differ substantially from sporadic CLL in terms of prognostic markers and clinical outcome, although it may be associated with more indolent disease. The precursor condition, monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis, also aggregates in CLL families. Linkage studies have been conducted in high-risk CLL families to screen the whole genome for susceptibility loci but no gene mutations have yet been identified by this method. Association studies of candidate genes have implicated several genes as being important in CLL but more studies are needed. Results from whole-genome association studies are promising.SummaryThe ability to conduct large-scale genomic studies in unrelated CLL patients and in high-risk CLL families will play an important role in detecting susceptibility genes for CLL over the next few years and thereby help to delineate causal pathways.

JAK2 tyrosine kinase mediates integrin activation induced by CXCL12 in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Project description:Chemokines participate to B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) pathogenesis by promoting cell adhesion and survival in bone marrow stromal niches and mediating cell dissemination to secondary lymphoid organs. In this study we investigated the role of JAK protein tyrosine kinases (PTK) in adhesion triggering by the CXC chemokine CXCL12 in normal versus CLL B-lymphocytes. We demonstrate that CXCL12 activates JAK2 in normal as well as CLL B-lymphocytes, with kinetics consistent with rapid adhesion triggering. By using complementary methodologies of signal transduction interference, we found that JAK2 mediates CXCL12-triggered activation of lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) and very late antigen-4 (VLA-4) integrins. We also show that JAK2 mediates the activation of the small GTP-binding protein RhoA, in turn controlling LFA-1 affinity triggering by CXCL12. Importantly, comparative analysis of 41 B-CLL patients did not evidence JAK2 functional variability between subjects, thus suggesting that JAK2, differently from other signaling events involved in adhesion regulation in B-CLL, is a signaling molecule downstream to CXCR4 characterized by a conserved regulatory role. Our results reveal JAK2 as critical component of chemokine signaling in CLL B-lymphocytes and indicate JAK inhibition as a potentially useful new pharmacological approach to B-CLL treatment.

Expression and role of RIP140/NRIP1 in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Project description:RIP140 is a transcriptional coregulator, (also known as NRIP1), which finely tunes the activity of various transcription factors and plays very important physiological roles. Noticeably, the RIP140 gene has been implicated in the control of energy expenditure, behavior, cognition, mammary gland development and intestinal homeostasis. RIP140 is also involved in the regulation of various oncogenic signaling pathways and participates in the development and progression of solid tumors. During the past years, several papers have reported evidences linking RIP140 to hematologic malignancies. Among them, two recent studies with correlative data suggested that gene expression signatures including RIP140 can predict survival in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). This review aims to summarize the literature dealing with the expression of RIP140 in CLL and to explore the potential impact of this factor on transcription pathways which play key roles in this pathology.
