MLL1 promotes IL-7 responsiveness and survival during B cell differentiation

ABSTRACT: B-lymphocyte differentiation is an exquisitely regulated homeostatic process resulting in continuous production of appropriately selected B cells. Relatively small changes in gene expression can result in deregulation of this process, leading acute lymphocytic leukemia, immune deficiency or autoimmunity. Translocation of Mll1 (Kmt2a) often results in a pro-B cell acute lymphocytic leukemia (B-ALL), but little is known about its role in normal B cell differentiation. Using a Rag1-cre knock-in to selectively delete Mll1 in developing lymphocytes, we show that B-cell, but not T-cell homeostasis depends on MLL1. Mll1-/- B progenitors fail to differentiate efficiently through the pro- to pre-B cell transition, resulting in a persistent reduction in B cell populations. Cells inefficiently transit the pre-B cell receptor (pre-BCR) checkpoint, despite normal to higher levels of pre-BCR components and rearranged IgH expression fails to rescue this differentiation block. Instead of IgH rearrangement defects, we find that Mll1-/- pre-B cells exhibit attenuated RAS/MAPK signaling downstream of the pre-BCR, resulting in reduced survival in physiologic levels of IL-7. Genome-wide expression data illustrate that MLL1 is connected to B-cell differentiation and IL-7-dependent survival through a complex transcriptional network. Overall, our data demonstrate that wild type MLL1 is a regulator of pre-BCR signaling and B-cell differentiation, and further suggest that targeting its function in B-ALL may be more broadly effective than previously anticipated.

RAG-mediated DNA double strand breaks activate a cell-type-specific checkpoint to inhibit pre-B cell receptor signals

Project description:Pre-B cell receptor (pre-BCR) signals initiate immunoglobulin light (Igl) chain gene assembly leading to RAG-mediated DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). These signals also promote cell cycle entry, which could cause aberrant DSB repair and genome instability in pre-B cells. Here we show that RAG DSBs inhibit pre-BCR signals through the ATM- and NF-ÎºB2-dependent induction of SPIC, a hematopoietic-specific transcriptional repressor. SPIC inhibits expression of the SYK tyrosine kinase and BLNK adaptor to prevent the pre-BCR from inducing additional Igl chain gene rearrangements and driving pre-B cells with RAG DSBs into cycle. We propose that pre-B cells toggle between pre-BCR signals and this RAG DSB-dependent checkpoint to maintain genome stability while iteratively assembling Igl chain genes. Three independent IL-7 cultures for each genotype (Rag1-/-:Î¼IgH:Bcl2, Art-/-:Î¼IgH:Bcl2 and Art-/-:Nfkb2-/-:Î¼IgH:Bcl2) were withdrawn from IL-7 for 2 days. RNA was isolated using RNeasy (Qiagen). Gene expression profiling was performed using Illumina MouseRef-8 expression microarrays.

HIGH-RISK SUBTYPES OF CHRONIC LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA ARE DETECTABLE AS EARLY AS 16 YEARS BEFORE DIAGNOSIS

Project description:Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is preceded by monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (MBL), a CLL precursor state with a prevalence of up to 12% in aged individuals. However, the duration of MBL and the mechanisms of its evolution to CLL remain largely unknown. In this study, we sequenced the B-cell receptor immunoglobulin heavy chain (BcR IGH) gene repertoire of 124 CLL patients and 118 matched controls in blood samples taken up to 22 years prior to diagnosis. Significant skewing in the BcR IGH gene repertoire was detected in the majority of patients, even before the occurrence of lymphocytosis and irrespective of the clonotypic IGH variable gene somatic hypermutation status. Furthermore, in 14 CLL patients we identified dominant clonotypes belonging to major stereotyped subsets associated with poor prognosis up to 16 years before diagnosis. In 22 patients with longitudinal samples, the skewing of the BcR IGH gene repertoire increased significantly over time to diagnosis or remained stable at high levels. For 14/16 patients with available samples at diagnosis, the CLL clonotype was already present in the pre-diagnostic samples. Overall, our data indicate that the pre-clinical phase of CLL could be longer than previously thought, even in adverse-prognostic cases.

Gene expression data of interleukin-7-dependent and BCR-ABL1-transformed pre-B cells

Project description:This analysis focused on identifying factors that protect pre-B cells against DNA double strand break (DSB)-mediated DNA damage stress during pre-B cell differentiation. Differentiation of pre-B cells including immunoglobulin light chain gene recombination were performed by withdrawal of interleukin-7 (IL-7) from IL-7-dependent murine pre-B cells or by inhibition of the BCR-ABL1 kinase activity in BCR-ABL1-transformed pre-B cells. The BCR-ABL1 kinase inhibitor STI571 (Imatinib) was used for the inhibition of BCR-ABL1. IL-7-dependent murine pre-B cells were either cultured in IL-7 (10 ng/ml) or induced to differentiate by withdrawal of IL-7. BCR-ABL1-transformed pre-B cells were either treated with 10 ÂµM STI571 (in absence or presence of 10 ng/ml IL-7) for 16 hours or cultured without STI571. Three samples for each condition were processed.

RNA-Seq of primary chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) tumours treated with anti-IgM antibodies against isotype control treated tumours

Project description:Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a highly heterogenous disease, with vastly diverse phenotypes that cause differing clinical courses ranging from benign disease (requiring no treatment), to a rapidly progressive disease and may require aggressive treatment therapy. Key to the B cell is the B-cell receptor (BCR); CLL utilises the BCR to evade apoptosis and promote proliferation and drug resistance through cross-talk between the TME and through BCR activation. Our experiments engage the BCR to determine downstream impact of BCR stimulation on gene expression in CLL (6 hours after stimulation).

pre-B cells from normal control, preleukemic, fully leukemic and fully leukemic, nilotinib-treated P190 BCR/ABL transgenic mice

Project description:Precursor B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (pre-B ALL) can be subdivided into different categories based on genetic abnormalities. One type of pre-B ALL is characterized by the presence of the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome, the derivative chromosome 22 that is one product of a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 22 and 9. The 22/9 translocation fuses the 5’ part of the BCR gene to the 3’ end of the c-ABL gene. The resulting BCR/ABL fusion encodes a Bcr/Abl protein with deregulated Abl kinase activity. Two major fusion proteins are found in Ph-positive leukemias which differ in molecular weight and the size of the Bcr moiety. The P190 Bcr/Abl protein is common in Ph-positive ALL. Targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as nilotinib are used therapeutically to treat this type of leukemia.

Transcription profiling of human BCR-ABL1-transformed acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells reveals Activation-induced cytidine deaminase acts as a mutator

Project description:The Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) encoding the oncogenic BCR-ABL1 kinase defines a subset of ALL with a particularly unfavorable prognosis. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells are derived from B cell precursors in most cases and typically carry rearranged immunglobulin heavy chain (IGH) variable (V) region genes devoid of somatic mutations. Somatic hypermutation is restricted to mature germinal center B cells and depends on activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID). Studying AID expression in 108 cases of ALL, we detected AID mRNA in 24 of 28 Ph-positive ALLs as compared to 6 of 80 Ph-negative ALLs. Forced expression of BCR-ABL1 in Ph-negative ALL cells and inhibition of the BCR-ABL1-kinase showed that aberrant expression of AID depends on BCR-ABL1 kinase activity. Consistent with aberrant AID expression in Ph-positive ALL, IGH V region genes and BCL6 were mutated in many Ph-positive but unmutated in most Ph-negative cases. In addition, AID introduced DNA-single-strand breaks within the tumor suppressor gene CDKN2B in Ph-positive ALL cells, which was sensitive to BCR-ABL1 kinase inhibition and silencing of AID expression by RNA interference. These findings identify AID as a BCR-ABL1-induced mutator in Ph-positive ALL cells, which may be relevant with respect to the particularly unfavorable prognosis of this leukemia subset. Experiment Overall Design: To study the gene expression profile of two Ph-positive ALL cell lines (BV173 and SUP-B15) in the presence or absence of 10 Î¼mol/l STI571 for 16 hours

A core proliferative program induced by B-cell receptor stimulation in chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells

Project description:The B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling is crucial for the pathophysiology of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Although the BCR has recently emerged as a new therapeutic target the precise mechanisms by which BCR signaling controls neoplastic B-cell proliferation are still ill characterized. Here, by comparing proliferating vs. non-proliferating cells from aggressive CLL patients, we longitudinally characterized the transcriptional and proteomic response of CLL cells after BCR engagement ex vivo. Of the 5,733 genes and/or proteins which expression was modulated after BCR activation, we identified a CLL proliferative signature including 430 genes and 374 proteins. Mathematical modelling of this signature revealed a nested sub-regulatory network comprising transcription factors activated within hours after cell activation linked to proteins involved in cell proliferation days after stimulation. The mining of this core cellular program sustaining primary human cancer cells proliferation provides an evidence based-resource for innovative therapeutic perspectives.
