Acute myeloid leukemia cells resist chemotherapy through a transient senescence-like state [PDX]

ABSTRACT: In acute myeloid leukemias (AML), chemotherapy is frequently followed by disease relapse, yet the mechanism by which AML reemerges is not fully understood. We hypothesized that chemotherapy induces senescence-like dormancy that facilitates survival to genotoxic exposure, allowing AML cells to endure treatment in a transiently dormant state while retaining potential for leukemic repopulation. Here, we show that primary AML cells exhibit hallmark senescence features following treatment with cytarabine (AraC), including growth arrest, increased cellular granularity, senescence-associated-β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) activity, and senescence-associated transcriptomic alterations. Induction of AraC-induced premature senescence was regulated by the ATR kinase activity and mediated stress-survival. High-throughput single cell RNA (scRNA)-seq analysis of primary AML cells ex vivo and in vivo following chemotherapy suggest active transcriptional programming towards senescent-like dormancy instead of enrichment for leukemia stem cells (LSCs). scRNA-seq of sorted AraC-induced premature senescent AML cells demonstrated a heterogenous population including a fraction of cells with simultaneous expression of dormancy- and senescence-associated gene signatures. Xenotransplantation of AraC-induced premature senescent AML cells into mice demonstrated that senescent-like AML cells maintain leukemia-repopulating potential. Altogether, we propose a mechanism of AML relapse whereby AML cells tolerate chemotherapy via acquisition of a transient senescent-like state.

Loss of DKM6A confers drug resistance in acute myeloid leukemia (ChIP-seq of AML cell lines MM-1 and MM-6)

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive hematologic neoplasm resulting from the malignant transformation of myeloid progenitors. Despite intensive chemotherapy leading to initial treatment responses, relapse caused by intrinsic or acquired drug resistance represents a major challenge. Here, we report that histone 3 lysine 27 demethylase KDM6A (UTX) is targeted by inactivating mutations and mutation-independent regulation in relapsed AML. Analyses of matched diagnosis and relapse specimens from individuals with KDM6A mutations showed an outgrowth of the KDM6A mutated tumor population at relapse. KDM6A-null myeloid leukemia cells were more resistant to treatment with the chemotherapeutic agents cytarabine (AraC) and daunorubicin. Inducible re-expression of KDM6A in KDM6A-null cell lines suppressed proliferation and sensitized cells again to AraC treatment. RNA expression analysis and functional studies revealed that resistance to AraC was conferred by downregulation of the nucleoside membrane transporter ENT1 (SLC29A1). Our results show that loss of KDM6A provides cells with a selective advantage during chemotherapy, which ultimately leads to the observed outgrowth of clones with KDM6A mutations or reduced KDM6A expression at relapse.

Local activation of the complement system mobilizes osteoclast precursors and promotes bone loss

Project description:Chemotherapy-induced bone loss depends on cellular senescence and the cell secretory phenotype. To investigate the factors secreted in the senescent microenvironment we have defined a mice model o premature senescence and studied the secreted genes that were differentially expressed in the senescent microenvironment.

Gene expression of viable human AML cells purified by FACS from bone marrows of three AML PDX treated by PBS(vehicle) or cytarabine

Project description:It has been hypothesized that chemotherapy resistant human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells are enriched in an immature phenotype, cellular quiescence and leukemic initiating cells (LICs). However, these hypotheses have never been validated completely in vivo. We have developed a physiologically relevant chemotherapeutic approach with cytosine arabinoside AraC using patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. AraC-treated AML cells are not consistently enriched for either immature cells or quiescent cells. AraC treatment does not enrich for LICs as measured by limiting dilution in secondary transplantations. Rather chemotherapy resistant cells in vivo have high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a gene signature consistent with oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Treatment of human HIGH OXPHOS but not LOW OXPHOS AML cell lines showed chemotherapy resistance in vivo, showing that essential mitochondrial functions make significant contributions to AraC resistance in AML. Accordingly, targeting mitochondrial OXPHOS metabolism through the inhibition of mitochondrial protein synthesis, the electron transfer chain or fatty acid oxidation induced an energetic shift towards LOW OXPHOS and strongly enhanced anti-leukemic effects of AraC in AML cells. These results demonstrate that chemotherapy resistance in AML is not necessarily associated with stemness but is highly dependent on a distinct oxidative metabolism, and that the HIGH OXPHOS gene signature is a robust hallmark of the AraC response in PDX and a promising therapeutic avenue to treat AML residual disease.

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.
