Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is a hematological malignancy characterized by accumulation of CD5+CD19+ B cells in peripheral lymphoid organs, bone marrow and blood. In this study we analyze matched whole genome sequencing and RNA-seq data from CLL patients to characterize the mutational processes operative throughout tumor evolution. Source of tumor and normal DNA used is patient PBMC or B cells and saliva respectively.

Project description:Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is characterized by the accumulation of malignant CD5+ B lymphocytes (CLL cells) in the peripheral blood, and their progressive infiltration in lymphoid organs. MMP-9 plays an important role in cell migration and survival, contributes to CLL pathogenesis by proteolytic and non-proteolytic mechanisms and may constitutive a therapeutic target. We used Affimetrix microarray technology to characterize the global gene expression profile of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells upon MMP-9 transfection. The aim was to establish whether MMP-9 regulates gene expression and to identify new therapeutic targets in CLL.

Project description:Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) are part of the same disease classification but are defined by differential distribution of tumor cells. B-CLL is characterized by significant immune suppression and dysregulation but this is nottypical of patients with SLL. Natural killer cells (NK) are important mediators of immune function but have been relatively poorly studied in patients with B-CLL/SLL.

Project description:Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is characterized by the accumulation of malignant CD5+ B lymphocytes (CLL cells) in the peripheral blood, and their progressive infiltration in lymphoid organs. Despite the efforts made, CLL remains an incurable disease. It is therefore crucial to continue searching for new therapeutic agents and targets. Arsenic trioxide (ATO) induces apoptosis in all CLL cases and it could constitute an efficient therapy for this disease. We used Affimetrix microarray technology to characterize the global gene expression profile underlying CLL cell response to ATO, with the aim of identifying the ATO mechanism of action as well as new therapeutic targets in CLL.

Project description:Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a malignant lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by the accumulation of small mature B cells in blood and secondary lymphoid tissues. Novel drugs, such as the Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor ibrutinib, have greatly improved survival of CLL patients, nevertheless acquired drug resistance represents a major challenge the molecular mechanisms of which have not been fully elucidated yet. To overcome this limitation, we generated a mouse model of ibrutinib resistance by treating mice upon adoptive transfer of Eµ-TCL1 leukemia (TCL1-CLL) continuously with ibrutinib. After an initial response to the treatment, relapse under therapy occurs with an aggressive outgrowth of malignant cells, resembling observations in patients. To unravel relapse mechanism, we performed transcriptome and proteome analyses of sorted TCL1-CLL cells both during treatment and after relapse. Comparative analysis of these omics layers suggested alterations in the proteasome activity as a driver of ibrutinib resistance. Accordingly, we showed that preclinical treatment with the irreversible proteasome inhibitor (PI) carfilzomib administered upon ibrutinib resistance prolonged survival of mice, thus acting as salvage therapy. Longitudinal proteomic analysis of CLL patients with ibrutinib resistance identified deregulation in protein post-translational modifications. In addition, CLL cells from ibrutinib-resistant patients effectively responded to several PIs in co-culture assays. Altogether, our results from orthogonal omics approaches identified proteasome inhibition as potentially attractive salvage treatment option for CLL patients resistant or refractory to ibrutinib.

Project description:Despite strong evidence of a significant role of MAPK signaling in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), phosphatase development and progression, this pathway is up to date not targeted in CLL therapy and available BRAF and MEK inhibitors are not efficient in reducing tumor progression. In this study, we evaluated the effects of targeted hyperactivation of the MAPK signaling pathway in CLL.

Project description:B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a common type of leukemia, characterized by the progressive accumulation of CD5+ “mature” monoclonal B lymphocytes in peripheral blood, bone marrow and lymphoid tissues. Although circulating CLL cells are non-dividing cells, prone to spontaneous apoptosis, their progressive accumulation is the result of a dynamic balance between cell death and proliferation and a high turn-over rate has been related to a poor prognosis. Indeed, CLL cells are protected from apoptosis and proliferate in specific niches within the lymphoid tissues and the bone marrow. CLL cells show variable expression of IL-21R that can be up-regulated by cell activation via CD40. CD40-activated CLL cells phosphorylate STAT-1 and STAT-3 and undergo apoptosis in response to IL-21 stimulation. By gene-expression profiling we found out that IL-21 modulates the expression of several genes including cytokine and chemokine genes and genes involved in cell survival and apoptosis in CD40-activated CLL cells. PBMCs were isolated from heparinized blood obtained from 13 untreated patients diagnosed with CLL on the basis of clinical and immunophenotypic criteria. PBMCs were isolated by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation and characterized by immunofluorescence and FACS analysis. When residual non B-cells exceeded 10%, B cells were enriched by negative selection with antibody-coated magnetic beads (CD2-beads, Dynal, Oslo, Norway) to obtain a >95% pure CD19+/CD5+ B cell population. B-CLL cells were pre-activated on adherent CD40L-transduced L cells for 48-36h and then stimulated with IL-21 or medium only for additional 18h. Total RNA was isolated from samples using TriZol (Invitrogen) reagent.

Project description:NOTCH1 gain-of-function mutations are recurrent in B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL), where they are associated with accelerated disease progression and refractoriness to chemotherapy. The specific role of NOTCH1 in the development and progression of this malignancy is unclear. Herein we assess the impact of loss of Notch signaling and pathway hyperactivation in an in vivo mouse model of CLL (IgH.TEm) that faithfully recapitulates many features of the human pathology. Ablation of canonical Notch signaling using conditional gene inactivation of RBP-J in immature hematopoietic or B cell progenitors delayed CLL induction and reduced incidence of mice developing disease. In contrast, forced expression of a dominant active form of Notch resulted in more animals developing CLL with early disease onset. Comparative analysis of gene expression and epigenetic features of Notch gain-of-function and control CLL cells revealed direct and indirect regulation of cell cycle-associated genes, which led to increased proliferation of Notch gain-of-function CLL cells in vivo. These results demonstrate that Notch signaling facilitates disease initiation and promotes CLL cell proliferation and disease progression.
