Project description:Treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) with all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) results in terminal differentiation of leukemic cells toward neutrophil granulocytes. Administration of ATRA leads to massive changes in gene expression, including down-regulation of cell proliferation-related genes and induction of genes involved in immune function. One of the most induced genes in APL NB4 cells is transglutaminase 2 (TG2). RNAi-mediated stable silencing of TG2 in NB4 cells (TG2-KD NB4) coupled with whole genome microarray analysis revealed that TG2 is involved in the expression of a large number of ATRA-regulated genes. The affected genes participate in granulocyte functions and their silencing lead to reduced adhesive, migratory and phagocytic capacity of neutrophils and less superoxide production. The expression of genes related to cell cycle control also changed, suggesting that TG2 regulates myeloid cell differentiation. CC chemokines CCL2, 3, 22, 24 and cytokines IL1B and IL8 involved in the development of differentiation syndrome (DS) are expressed at significantly lower levels in TG2-KD NB4 cells than in wild-type NB4 cells upon ATRA treatment. Based on our results, we propose that reduced expression of TG2 in differentiating APL cells may suppress effector functions of neutrophil granulocytes and attenuate the ATRA-induced inflammatory phenotype of DS. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression underlying ATRA-induced differentiation of TG2 knockout NB4 cells. TG2 knockout NB4 cells were differentiated for 48 and 72 hours in the presence of ATRA and their gene expression profiles were compared to the wild-type cells at the same time points. Undifferentiated wild-type and TG2 knockout NB4 cells were used as untreated controls. Three biological replicates each.

Project description:Searching for new strategies of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treatment is of particular interest. Cell lines, e. g. HL-60 and NB4, represent model systems to study molecular features of leukemic cells. The all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) has proven itself to be an effective treatment for one of AML subtypes, i.e., acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). At the same time, ATRA causes granulocytic differentiation of non-APL leukemic cells in vitro. Combination of new therapeutics with ATRA could improve efficiency of treatment. Studying the proteome perturbation in leukemic cells under the ATRA treatment allows to determine potential regulatory molecules that could be affected pharmacologically. Thus, the TMT-based proteomic profiles of HL-60, NB4, and K562 cell lines under the ATRA treatment were obtained at 0, 3, 12, 24, and 72 h after the ATRA treatment.

Project description:Differentiation therapy with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is well established for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). However, the narrow application and tolerance development of ATRA remain to be improved. In this study, we challenged glycosylation inhibitor to obtain better efficiency than ATRA alone. As a result, we found that the combination of fucosylation inhibitor 6-alkynylfucose (6AF) with ATRA have profound effect for differentiation, shown by expression changes of differentiation markers CD11b, CD11c, with significant morphological change in NB4 and HL-60 cells. From lectin blot assay, we found that ATRA or 6AF alone could decrease core fucosylation, the combination of these two agents efficiently decreases the expression of core fucosylation. To reveal molecular mechanisms to reveal 6AF effect for ATRA induced differentiation, we next performed microarray analysis using NB4 cells. From pathway analysis using DAVID software, we found that C-type lectin receptor (CLR) signaling pathway was enriched as high significance. From real time PCR analysis, using NB4 and HL-60 cells, FcRI, CLEC6A, CASP1, IL-1, EGR2/3, the components of CLR, and Akt, were indeed upregulated by 6AF in ATRA induced differentiation. These suggest that the involvement of CLR signaling pathway in 6AF effect of ATRA induced differentiation.

Project description:HOTAIRM1 is a long intergenic non-coding RNA located in the human HOXA gene cluster, with gene expression highly specific for maturing myeloid cells, particularly during all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) induction of granolopoiesis in NB4, a human t(15;17) acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cell line. We sought to assess the impact of HOTAIR knockdown on the global programme of gene expression underlying the granulocytic maturing process in NB4 cells. The knockdown of HOTAIRM1 resulted in a less differentiated expression profile in the NB4 cells after 4 days of ATRA-induced granulocytic differentiation, with retained expression of many otherwise ATRA-suppressed cell cycle and DNA replication genes, as well as abated induction of cell surface leukocyte activation and defense response genes. The shRNA expressing vector targeting the HOTAIRM1 transcript and the control vector expressing scrambled shRNA sequence were generated based on the pLKO.3G vector backbone (Addgene). The stable cell lines derived from NB4 cells transfected with lentiviral vectors were selected by FACS sorting of GFP selection marker positive cells and isolation of single cell derived clones on soft agar plates. Biologically duplicated total RNA samples were prepared from HOTAIRM1 knockdown and the scrambled shRNA expressing control cells, plus one total RNA from each of wild type NB4 cells and HOTAIRM1 knockdown (by a different shRNA construct) cells, before and after 96 hours of ATRA (0.5 uM) induced granulocytic differentiation.

Project description:We recently revealed that myeloid master regulator PU.1 directly represses metallothionein (MT)-1G through its epigenetic activity, but the functions of MT-1G in myeloid differentiation remain unknown. To clarify this, we established MT-1G-overexpressing acute promyelocytic leukemia NB4 (NB4MTOE) cells, and investigated whether MT-1G functionally contributes to all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)-induced NB4 cell differentiation. Real-time PCR analyses demonstrated that the inductions of CD11b and CD11c and reductions in myeloperoxidase and c-myc by ATRA were attenuated in NB4MTOE cells. Since G1 arrest is a hallmark of ATRA-induced NB4 cell differentiation, we observed a decrease in G1 accumulation, as well as decreases in p21WAF1/CIP1 and cyclin D1 inductions, by ATRA in NB4MTOE cells. Nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction assays revealed that the proportions of NBT-positive cells were decreased in NB4MTOE cells in the presence of ATRA. Microarray analyses showed that the changes in expression of several myeloid differentiation-related genes (GATA2, azurocidin 1, pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase 1, defensin-4, C-X3-C motif receptor 3, matrix metallopeptidase -8, S100 calcium-binding protein A12, neutrophil cytosolic factor 2 and oncostatin M) induced by ATRA were disturbed in NB4MTOE cells. Collectively, overexpression of MT-1G disturbs the proper differentiation of myeloid cells. The present study provides evidence that expression analysis of MT-1G in acute promyelocytic leukemia patients may be a good prediction marker to estimate the efficacy of ATRA.

Project description:The aim of this study is to identify microRNAs (miRNAs) transcriptionnally regulated by retinoic acid (RA). For that purpose we have used the RA-based treatment of the Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) as a model. This malignancy is characterised by a differentiation arrest of granulopoiesis at the promyelocytic stage. APL is molecularly associated with reciprocal translocations that always involve the retinoic acid receptor a (RARa). In the vast majority of APL cases, a t(15;17) chromosomal translocation fuses the genes encoding the promyelocytic leukemia protein PML and RARa. The resulting PML-RARa is a transcriptional repressor that impedes the expression of RA-regulated genes notably through an aberrant recruitment of transcriptional repressors and histone deacetylases. Consequently, these genes become insensitive to physiological doses (nanoM) of all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) but pharmacological doses (microM), overcome the PML-RARa-mediated repression and restore normal transcription and granulocytic differentiation. The restorative effects of RA can be reproduced in vitro in the NB4 cells, which were derived from an APL patient. These cells provide an excellent model to study the transcriptional deregulations that arise in APL and the molecular effects of the anti-cancerous RA-based treatment. We also used in this study the RA-resistant cells, namely NB4-LR1 and NB4-LR2 cells. The NB4-LR1 cells do transcriptionally respond to ATRA but do not maturate. In contrast, the NB4-LR2 cells show a clear defect in RA signaling, as they harbor a truncated form of PML-RAR protein that is not sensitive to pharmacological doses of RA. First, we plan to characterize miRNAs-repressed by PML-RAR. We reasoned that if some miRNAs are repressed by this protein, then pharmacological doses of RA should abolish this repression and lead to an increase in the level of expression of the corresponding miRNAs. NB4, NB4-LR1 and NB4-LR2 cells will thus be treated for 16h with ATRA (1 microM), and miRNAs profiles will be compared. We anticipate that, the expression of a potential miRNA-repressed by PML-RAR should be up-regulated by ATRA in both NB4 and NB4-LR1 cells but remain unchanged in NB4-LR2 cells. This expression pattern should in fact be similar to those observed for known RA-regulated genes, such as RARb, a well characterized target of the RARa and PML-RAR proteins. Importantly, this experimental procedure was already validated with the identification of a miRNA repressed by PML-RAR (patent Lecellier et al. #WO 2006/048553). MiRNAs candidates obtained will then be validated by chromatin immunoprecipitation using anti-RARa and anti-PML antibodies, followed by luciferase assays in presence or absence of ATRA. Keywords: retinoic acid-mediated gene regulation To characterize miRNAs regulated by PML-RAR.

Project description:NB4 is an APL derived cell line, carrying the t(15;17) translocation and expressing the PML/RARa fusion protein. Still, an important question that remains to be addressed is whether PML/RARa target genes are transcriptionally suppressed in primary APL cells and re-activated in all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) treated NB4 cells. Gene expression of NB4 cells treated with ATRA at different time points were analyzed.
