T-ALL Leukemia Stem Cell “stemness” is Epigenetically Controlled by the Master Regulator PU.1 [bulkRNA]

ABSTRACT: Leukemia stem cells (LSCs) are regarded as the origins and key therapeutic targets of leukemia, but limited knowledge is available on the key determinants of LSC “stemness”. Using single cell RNAseq analysis, we identify a master regulator PU.1, whose LSC-specific expression determines the molecular signature and activity of LSC in the Pten-null T-ALL model. Although initiated by PTEN controlled β-catenin activation, PU.1 expression and LSC “stemness” are maintained by a β-catenin-PU.1-TIM-3 feedback loop, independent of the leukemogenic driver mutation. Perturbing any component of this loop, either genetically or pharmacologically, can prevent LSC formation or eradicate existing LSCs. LSCs lose their “stemness” when PU.1 expression is silenced by DNA methylation, which can be reactivated by 5-AZ. Importantly similar regulatory mechanisms are also present in human T-ALLs.

The important role of GPR84 in MLL leukemogenesis

Project description:Beta-catenin signaling is required for establishment of leukemic stem cells (LSCs) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), yet the upstream regulators that can augment this pathway are unknown. Through genome-wide gene expression analysis and functional studies, we identified an important role for GPR84 in MLL AML. Suppression of GPR84 significantly inhibited cell growth in pre-LSCs, reduced LSC frequency and impaired reconstitution of MLL AML. Furthermore, GPR84 conferred a growth advantage to Hoxa9/Meis1a transduced hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Our microarray analysis demonstrated that GPR84 overexpression significantly up-regulated a small set of MLL-fusion targets and beta-catenin co-effectors, and down-regulated a hematopoietic cell cycle inhibitor. These data thus reveal a previously unrecognized role of GPR84 in the maintenance of fully developed AML by sustaining aberrant beta-catenin signaling in LSCs. HSC-derived Hoxa9/Meis1a pre-LSCs were transduced with GPR84 cDNA or empty vector, and replated in methylcellulose supplemented with cytokines. Each group contains triplicate samples.

Overcoming Wnt-β-catenin dependent anticancer therapy resistance in leukaemia stem cells.

Project description:Leukaemia stem cells (LSCs) underlie cancer therapy resistance but targeting these cells remains difficult. The Wnt–β-catenin and PI3K–Akt pathways cooperate to promote tumorigenesis and resistance to therapy. In a mouse model in which both pathways are activated in stem and progenitor cells, LSCs expanded under chemotherapy-induced stress. Since Akt can activate β-catenin, inhibiting this interaction might target therapy-resistant LSCs. High-throughput screening identified doxorubicin (DXR) as an inhibitor of the Akt–β-catenin interaction at low doses. Here we repurposed DXR as a targeted inhibitor rather than a broadly cytotoxic chemotherapy. Targeted DXR reduced Akt-activated β-catenin levels in chemoresistant LSCs and reduced LSC tumorigenic activity. Mechanistically, β-catenin binds multiple immune-checkpoint gene loci, and targeted DXR treatment inhibited expression of multiple immune checkpoints specifically in LSCs, including PD-L1, TIM3 and CD24. Overall, LSCs exhibit distinct properties of immune resistance that are reduced by inhibiting Akt-activated β-catenin. These findings suggest a strategy for overcoming cancer therapy resistance and immune escape.

Sphingosine-1 phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1) is crucial for maintaining the stem cell properties of acute myeloid leukemia stem cells

Project description:To identify the most important gene(s) for maintaining the stem cell properties of leukemia stem cells (LSCs), we analyzed the transcriptional profiles of LSC and non-LSC subsets from acute leukemia patients and identified S1PR1 as a novel biomarker of LSCs. Then to understand the underlying mechanisms of S1PR1-dependent stemness maintenance, we performed gene expression profiling analyses comparing CD34+S1PR1+ and CD34+S1PR1- cell fractions from AML patients and healthy donors; we also determined the global transcriptional response of KG1 cells to an inhibitor of S1PR1 (FTY720) at two concentrations.

Expression data from PML-RARα transgenic mouse APL(acute promyelocyte leukemia) cells

Project description:The differentiation of leukemia stem cells (LSCs) is generally regarded as a one-way alterative process to self-renewal. However, how differentiation impacts LSC stemness has largely been unexplored. Here we show that before reaching terminal differentiation (TD), apical LSCs of mouse acute promyelocytic leukemia passed through a partial differentiation (PD) stage, wherein the leukemia cells re-initiated leukemia via de-differentiation albeit at a reduced rate. Notably, while retinoic acid (RA) preferentially drove the transition of LSC to PD, monocytic Irf8 skewed PD cells to terminal maturation over de-differentiation and/or expansion. Remarkably, the combined use of RA and Irf8 induction depleted the total leukemogenic potential, which indicates that discrete stage- or lineage-specific mechanisms elaborate a step-wise LSC differentiation. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression indicating the molecular mechanisms unerlying the the process of LSC step-wise differentiation. Retroviral GFP-labled mouse APL cells (bone marrow sample) were repopulated in vivo through transplantation into syngenic recipients. At the proper time points, the GFP positive APL bone marrow cells were collected and sorted for UNSC, UNPD and UNTD samples through FACS. RA-PD and RA-TD cells were sorted from bone marrow tissue treated with ATRA (all trans retinoic acid) for 5 days. The freshly isolated samples were then lysed for RNA extration. Each sample had two biological replicates.

Dormant leukemia stem cells reinforced by chemotherapy drive early treatment failure in acute myeloid leukemia patients [bulkRNA]

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia is characterized by a minor fraction of primitive leukemia stem cells (LSCs) that sustain disease propagation and may be at the origin of late relapse. Yet, LSC contribution to early therapy resistance and AML regeneration remains controversial. We prospectively identified LSCs in NPM1-mutated AML patients and xenografts by means of a microRNA-126 reporter and single cell RNA sequencing, precisely discriminating LSCs from regenerating hematopoiesis, and assessed their longitudinal response to chemotherapy. We here show that chemotherapy resulted in distinct outcomes within AML subpopulations: while the bulk leukemia proliferated and differentiated with expression of oxidative-phosphorylation signatures, persisting miR-126high LSCs enforced protective stemness and dormancy features, along with a generalized inflammatory and senescence-associated response. miR-126high LSCs were enriched at diagnosis in patients with chemotherapy-refractory AML. We derived a novel miR-126high LSC transcriptional signature, which robustly stratified patients for overall survival in large AML cohorts, shining the spotlight on LSCs as determinants of early therapy resistance.
