Functional plasticity and reversible growth behavior of patients’ acute myeloid leukemia stem cells growing in mice

ABSTRACT: Resistance against chemotherapy remains a major obstacle in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Novel therapeutic concepts are especially desired to target and eliminate resistant AML stem cells. Here we show that AML stem cells harbor the plasticity to switch from a low-cycling, therapy resistant state into an actively proliferating state associated with treatment response. We used patient-derived xenograft (PDX) cells from patients with high risk or relapsed AML, which were lentivirally transduced for marker expression, stained with the proliferation-sensitive dye Carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE), and re-transplanted into next-recipient mice. A rare subpopulation of AML cells displayed reduced proliferation in vivo, associated with increased treatment resistance. The proportion of AML cells with stem cell potential was identical in both, the highly and lowly proliferative sub-fraction. In re-transplantation experiments, proliferation behavior proved reversible, and AML stem cells were able to switch between a high and low proliferation state. Our data indicate that AML stem cells display functional plasticity in vivo, which might be exploited for therapeutic purposes, to prevent AML relapse and ultimately improve the prognosis of patients with AML.

An ILK/STAT3 pathway controls plasticity in a neural stem cell model of glioblastoma.

Project description:Glioblastomas (GBM) are driven by malignant neural stem-like cells that display extensive heterogeneity and phenotypic plasticity, which drives tumour progression and therapeutic resistance. Here we show that the nodal extracellular matrix-cell adhesion protein integrin-linked kinase (ILK) is a key determinant of phenotypic plasticity and the mesenchymal-like, invasive cell state in mouse GBM stem cells. We found that an ILK-STAT3 signalling pathway is required for plasticity that enables the transition of GBM stem cells to an astrocyte-like state both in vitro andin vivo. GBM cells genetically depleted of ILK become predominantly stabilised in a transcriptionally-defined progenitor-like state that is characterised by lack of response to differentiation cues and constitutive proliferation. Loss of ILK or interference with STAT3 impairs differentiation potential, reducing phenotypic plasticity of tumour cell populations; additionally, ILK loss causes a mesenchymal- to epithelial-like morphological transition and suppression of malignancy-associated features. Our work defines ILK as a central regulator of multiple GBM phenotypes including phenotypic plasticity and mesenchymal state.

Intermittent fasting induces rapid hepatocyte proliferation to maintain the hepatostat

Project description:Nutrient availability fluctuates in most natural populations, forcing organisms to undergo periods of fasting and re-feeding. It is unknown how dietary change influences liver homeostasis. Here, we show that a switch from ad libitum feeding to intermittent fasting (IF) promotes rapid hepatocyte proliferation. Mechanistically, IF- induced hepatocyte proliferation is driven by the combined action of intestinally produced, systemic endocrine FGF15 and localized WNT signaling. IF proliferation re-establishes a constant liver-to-body-mass ratio during periods of fasting and re-feeding, a process termed the hepatostat. This study provides the first example of dietary influence on adult hepatocyte proliferation, and challenges the widely held view that liver tissue is mostly quiescent unless chemically or mechanically injured.

CKS1-dependent proteostatic regulation has dual roles in combating acute myeloid leukemia whilst protecting normal hematopoiesis

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive hematological disorder comprised of a hierarchy of quiescent leukemic stem cells and fast proliferating blasts with limited self-renewal ability. Significant plasticity in the AML epigenome and metabolome results in a high rate of drug resistance and relapse, with extremely low 2-year survival rates in the poorest cytogenetic risk patients. The current backbone of clinical induction chemotherapy reduces total disease burden, but does not deplete leukemic stem cells which reconstitute the disease in vivo, and also suffers from severe toxicity of healthy hematopoietic cells. Whilst much work has been done to identify epigenetic vulnerabilities in AML, little is known about protein dynamics, and here we explored the therapeutic inhibition of highly specific CKS1-dependent protein degradation. We report a dual role for CKS1-depdent protein degradation in specifically targeting AML, whilst protecting normal hematopoietic cells from chemotherapeutic toxicity.

SIX2 promotes cell plasticity via Wnt/beta-catenin signalling in androgen receptor independent prostate cancer (RNA-seq)

Project description:The use of androgen receptor (AR) inhibitors in prostate cancer gives rise to increased cellular lineage plasticity resulting resistance to AR-targeted therapies. By examining the chromatin landscape of AR positive prostate cancer cells following exposure to the AR inhibitor enzalutamide, we have identified a novel regulator of cell plasticity, homeobox transcription factor SIX2, whose motif is enriched in accessible regions post-treatment. Our investigation demonstrates that depletion of SIX2 in androgen-independent PC-3 prostate cancer cells is sufficient to induce a switch from a stem-like to an epithelial state, leading to the reduction of key cancer-related properties such as proliferation, colony formation, and metastasis both in vitro and in vivo. These effects are mediated through downregulation of Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway and subsequent reduced nuclear localization of β-catenin. Collectively, our findings provide compelling evidence that depletion of SIX2 may represent a promising strategy for overcoming cell plasticity mechanisms driving AR resistance in prostate cancer.

Proliferation-correlated expression

Project description:To determine how gene expression varies between fast and slow proliferating cells we developed a CFSE-based method to sort cells by intrapopulation heterogeneity in proliferation rate. We sorted cells by proliferation rate, as well as by the mitochondria dye TMRE, and performed mRNA-seq.

HMGA1 Chromatin Regulators Drive MPN Progression [scRNA-Seq]

Project description:Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) transform to myelofibrosis (MF) and highly lethal acute myeloid leukemia (AML), although actionable mechanisms driving progression remain elusive. The HMGA1 chromatin regulator is up-regulated during MPN progression with highest levels after transformation. HMGA1 depletion in JAK2V617F MPN AML cell lines disrupts proliferation, clonogenicity, and leukemic engraftment. Surprisingly, loss of just a single Hmga1 allele prevents progression to MF in JAK2V617F transgenic mice, decreasing blood counts and expansion in stem and myeloid progenitors while preventing splenomegaly and fibrosis within the spleen and bone marrow. RNA sequencing revealed HMGA1-dependent transcriptional networks that govern proliferation (E2F, G2M, mitosis, MYC targets) and cell fate, including the GATA2 master regulatory gene. Silencing GATA2 recapitulates phenotypes observed with HMGA1 depletion whereas GATA2 re-expression partially rescues leukemogenesis. HMGA1 transactivates GATA2 through sequences near the developmental enhancer (+9.5), increasing chromatin accessibility and recruiting active histone marks. Further, HMGA1 transcriptional networks, including GATA2, are activated in human MF after leukemic transformation. Further, HMGA1 depletion synergizes with the JAK2 inhibitor, ruxolitinib, to prolong survival in murine MPN AML. These findings illuminate HMGA1 as a key epigenetic switch required for MPN transformation and promising therapeutic target to treat or prevent disease progression.
