Project description:The term cancer immunoediting describes the dual role by which the immune system can suppress and promote tumour growth and is divided into three phases: elimination, equilibrium and escape. The role of NK cells has mainly been attributed to the elimination phase. Here we show that NK cells play a role in all three phases of cancer immunoediting. Extended co-culturing of DNA barcoded mouse BCR/ABLp185+ B acute lymphoblastic leukaemia cells with NK cells allowed for a quantitative measure of NK cell-mediated immunoediting. Whereas most tumour cell clones were efficiently eliminated by NK cells, a certain fraction of tumour cells harboured an intrinsic primary resistance. Furthermore, DNA barcoding revealed tumour cell clones with secondary resistance, which stochastically acquired resistance to NK cells. NK cell cytotoxicity put a selective pressure on B-ALL cells inducing primary and secondary resistance, while resistant tumour cells were characterised by a full-blown IFN-g signature. Besides well-known regulators of immune evasion, our analysis of NK resistant tumour cells revealed the upregulation of novel genes, including Ly6a, which we found to drive NK cell resistance in leukaemic cells. We further translated our findings to the human system and showed that high LY6E expression on tumour cells impaired the physical interaction with NK cells and led to worse prognosis in leukaemia. Our results demonstrate that tumour cells are actively edited by NK cells during the equilibrium phase and use different avenues to escape NK cell-mediated eradication.

Project description:ATRC-101-A01 is a Phase 1b, open-label dose escalation and expansion trial of ATRC-101, an engineered fully human immunoglobulin G, subclass 1 (IgG1) antibody derived from a naturally occurring human antibody. The safety, tolerability, PK, and biological activity of ATRC-101 will be characterized when administered every two weeks (Q2W) or every 3 weeks (Q3W) as a monotherapy or in combination with other anticancer agents.

Project description:R-loops are transcription by-products that may constitute a threat to genome integrity.We previously show in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that R-loops are tightly and specifically linked with histone H3-Ser10 phosphorylation (H3S10P), a mark of chromatin condensation. Here we analyse the hpr1-101 mutant. A point mutation that impairs transcription and mRNP biogenesis without increasing recombination. Importantly, ChIP-chip analyses reveal a clear H3S10P does not accumulate at the pericentromeric chromatin during the G1-phase of the cell cycle but during S-phase in non-accumulating R-loop hpr1-101. ChIP-chip studies were perfomed with antibodies against Histone H3 and the phosphorylated Histone H3 at Serine10 in the yeast S. cerevisiae.

Project description:Genome wide expression profiling of human NK cells stimulated with K562 erythroleukemic tumor cells after four hours of NK-tumor co-culture. Responding NK cells were compared to non-responding NK cells, delineated by display of CD107 on the NK cell surface following cytotoxic granule release. We hypothesized that tumor responses would initiate rapid changes in gene expression in the NK cell that would identify new features of the anti-tumor response of NK cells. Results identify NK cell activation responses and induction of TNF superfamily molecules with immunoregulatory activity. Human peripheral blood NK cells were co-cultured with tumor target cell line K562 for 4 hours with GolgiStop (brefeldin) then stained for granule exocytosis marker CD107a / CD107b, and NK cell markers then FACS sorted for responding NK cells (CD107+) and non-responding NK cells (CD107-). Pooled donor sample comprised NK cells from 3 individuals.

Project description:Understanding of molecular system how tumor-suppressor p53 selectively activates and/or completes appropriate tumor-suppressor pathway in response to various stresses is still one of the most important issues to be clarified. We analyzed a molecular mechanism for the completion of p53-dependent ribosome stress responsible pathway by miR-101. To this end, expression microarray analyses were conducted in the presence or absence of miR-101. We found that miR-101 induces the activation of p53-dependent G2 phase cell cycle arrest through the increased phosphorylation of ATM, leading to the p53-depdent apoptosis.

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous group of malignancies which may be sensitive to the natural killer (NK) cell anti-tumor response. However, NK cells are frequently defective in AML. Here, we found in an exploratory cohort (n = 46) that NK-cell status at diagnosis of AML separated patients in two groups with a different clinical outcome. Patients with a deficient NK-cell profile, including reduced expression of some activating NK receptors (e.g. DNAM-1, NKp46 and NKG2D) and decreased IFN-g production, had a significantly higher risk of relapse (P = 0.03) independently of cytogenetic classification in multivariate analysis. Patients with defective NK cells showed a profound gene expression decrease in AML blasts for cytokine and chemokine signaling (e.g. IL15, IFNGR1, IFNGR2, CXCR4), antigen processing (e.g. HLA-DRA, HLA-DRB1, CD74) and adhesion molecule pathways (e.g. PVR, ICAM1). A set of 388 leukemic classifier genes defined in the exploratory cohort was independently validated in a multicentric cohort of 194 AML patients. In total, these data evidenced the interplay between NK-cells and AML blasts at diagnosis allowing an immune-based stratification of AML patients independently of clinical classifications. 5 normal AML cells were compared with 8 NK deficient AML cells.

Project description:The goal of this study is to assess the role of ASH1 like histone lysine methyltransferase (ASH1L) in the biology of anaplastic thyroid cancer. CRISPR-Cas9 was used to create 4 independent cell lines derived from BHT-101 anaplastic thyroid cancer cells with premature stop codons prior to the catalytic domain within both alleles of ASH1L. RNA-seq was performed on these 4 KO cell lines, and compared to 3 biological replicates of wild type BHT-101 cells.
