Migration arrest of chemoresistant leukemia cells mediated by MRTF-SRF pathway

ABSTRACT: Dormant chemotherapy-resistant leukemia cells can survive for an extended period before relapse. Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying the development of chemoresistance in vivo remain unclear. Using intravital bone imaging, we characterized the behavior of murine acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells (C1498) in the bone marrow before and after chemotherapy with cytarabine. Proliferative C1498 cells exhibited high motility in the bone marrow. Cytarabine treatment impaired the motility of residual C1498 cells. However, C1498 cells regained their migration potential after relapse. RNA sequencing revealed that cytarabine treatment promoted MRTF-SRF pathway activation. MRTF inhibition using CCG-203971 augmented the anti-tumor effects of chemotherapy in our AML mouse model, as well as suppressed the migration of chemoresistant C1498 cells. These results provide novel insight into the role of cell migration arrest on the development of chemoresistance in AML, as well as provide a strong rationale for the modulation of cellular motility as a therapeutic target for refractory AML.

Induction of a timed metabolic collapse to overcome cancer chemoresistance

Project description:We identified a transient increase in metabolites involved in glutamine metabolism in chemoresistant acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. To further investigate this, we evaluated the transcriptome of AML cells from bone marrow of vehicle-treated mice and mice treated with induction chemotherapy (doxorubicin+cytarabine) at 3 days (iCT group) and 10 days (relapse group) after completion of the chemotherapy.

mRAN expression profiles in mesenchymal progenitor cells freshly-sorted from Wild Type and Lama4-deficient mice

Project description:Bone marrow (BM) niche contributes to hematopoietic regeneration under stress like irradiation and leukemia. However, the mechanisms remain poorly defined. We here report that Lama4 deletion in mice results in reduction of mesenchymal progenitors (MPCs) and endothelial cells in BM. Following irradiation, Lama4-/- mice displayed impaired hematopoiesis recovery accompanied with dysregulation of BM niche factors like angiopoietin-1 and Tgfb1 in the MPCs. Post-transplantation of MLL-AF9 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells, we observed accelerated AML onset in Lama4-/- mice. Moreover, these Lama4-/- AML mice displayed faster relapse after therapeutic BM transplantation. Mechanistically, Lama4-/- niche promoted AML cell proliferation and chemoresistance to chemotherapy cytarabine by conferring AML greater antioxidant activity. Together, our study demonstrates that Lama4 is required to maintain hematopoietic niche integrity and to suppress AML progression and chemoresistance by restricting metabolic defense support to AML. Therefore, activating Lama4 signaling pathways may offer potential new therapeutic options for AML.

mRAN expression profiles in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) from Wild Type and Lama4-deficient mice co-cultured with MLL-AF9 AML cells

Project description:Bone marrow (BM) niche contributes to hematopoietic regeneration and can be remodeled by leukemic cells. We have found that Lama4 deletion in mouse mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could promote the proliferation of MLL-AF9 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells and chemoresistance of the cells to chemotherapy cytarabine. However, whether Lama4 deficient MSCs are more susseptible for AML cell remodeling remains to be explored. Here we report that differential molecular alterations in Lama4 deficient MSCs compared to wild type MSCs after being exposed to the AML cells for 48hours, which might be related to the enhanced AML cell proliferation and chemoresistance.

Upregulation of HOXA3 by Isoform-Specific Wilms Tumor 1 Drives Chemotherapy Resistance in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Project description:Upregulation of the Wilms' Tumor 1 (WT1) gene is common in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and is associated with poor prognosis, including disease relapse, decreased overall survival (OS), and chemotherapy resistance. WT1 produces 12 primary transcripts through different translation initiation sites and alternative splicing, but the specific transcripts and mechanisms responsible for chemoresistance are unknown. We found that overexpression of short WT1 transcripts lacking exon 5 with and without the KTS motif (sWT1+/- and sWT1-/-) led to reduced cell growth. However, only sWT1+/- resulted in decreased CD71 expression, G1 arrest, and cytarabine resistance. Primary AML patient cells with low CD71 expression exhibit relative resistance to cytarabine, suggesting that CD71 may serve as a potential biomarker for cytarabine therapy. RNAseq differential gene expression analysis identified two transcription factors, HOXA3 and GATA2, that are specifically upregulated in sWT1+/- cells. Overexpression of either HOXA3 or GATA2 reproduced the effects of sWT1+/-, including decreased cell growth, G1 arrest, reduced CD71 expression, and cytarabine resistance. Furthermore, sWT1+/-, HOXA3, and GATA2 regulate cell growth and cytarabine sensitivity in a context-dependent manner, likely dependent on HOXA3 expression. HOXA3 expression is significantly correlated with chemotherapy response, OS, and ELN subtypes in NPM1-negative leukemia specimens. Overexpression of HOXA3 leads to drug resistance against a broad spectrum of chemotherapeutic agents. Our results suggest that WT1 modulates drug sensitivity in an isoform-specific manner by promoting HOXA3 expression. Both HOXA3 mRNA and CD71 cell surface expression could serve as potential biomarkers for predicting responses to cytarabine-based treatment in AML.

Invalidation of a novel marker for therapy-resistant leukemic stem cells responsible for relapse in patients and PDX

Project description:Drug tolerant leukemic cell stem (LSC) subpopulations may explain frequent relapses in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), suggesting that these Relapse-Initiating Cells (RICs) persistent after chemotherapy represent bona fide targets to prevent drug resistance and relapse. We uncover that the G-protein coupled receptor CALCRL is expressed in RICs, and that the overexpression of CALCRL and/or of its ligand adrenomedullin (ADM) and not CGRP correlates to adverse outcome in AML. CALCRL knockdown impairs leukemic growth, decreases LSC frequency and sensitizes to cytarabine in patient-derived xenograft models.

MRTF-SRF signaling is required for seeding of HSC/Ps in bone marrow during development

Project description:Chemokine signaling is important for the seeding of different sites by hematopoietic stem cells during development. Serum Response Factor (SRF) controls multiple genes governing adhesion and migration, mainly by recruiting members of the Myocardin-Related Transcription Factor (MRTF) family of G-actin regulated cofactors. We used vav-iCre to inactivate MRTF-SRF signaling early during hematopoietic development. In both Srf- and Mrtf-deleted animals, hematopoiesis in fetal liver and spleen is intact, but does not become established in fetal bone marrow. Srf-null HSC/Ps (hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells) fail to effectively engraft in transplantation experiments, exhibiting normal proximal signaling responses to SDF-1, but reduced adhesiveness, F-actin assembly, and reduced motility. Srf-null HSC/Ps fail to polarise in response to SDF-1, and cannot migrate through restrictive membrane pores to SDF-1 or Scf in vitro. Mrtf-null HSC/Ps were also defective in chemotactic responses to SDF-1. MRTF-SRF signaling is thus critical for the response to chemokine signaling during hematopoietic development. Strand specific RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) in sorted WT and SRF deleted LSK cells with or without a 30 minute SDF stimulation and validation by qRT-PCR

Transcriptome analysis of blast Side and Main populations cells in patients with acute myeloid leukemia

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) represent a series of hemopathies characterized by the clonal expansion in bone marrow and blood of immature myeloid cells blocked in differentiation, called blasts. Despite significant supportive care progresses, few medical discoveries radically changed LAM prognosis (5 year survival rate of 30%). An aggressive conventional chemotherapy is used to kill AML cells. However, many patients relapse mainly due to the persistence of rare AML cells able to re-initiate the disease. Quiescence and protection against environmental stresses (chemoresistance) are major characteristics of these cells. Drug efflux leading to chemoresistance is observed by Side Population (SP) detection through ABC transporter activation. So, AML blasts presenting SP functionality could represent a chemoresistant population. This SP phenotype is essentially acquired by circulating AML blasts after contact with medullar mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC). A transcriptome analysis of AML blasts sorted according to their SP functionality or not (Non SP cells or Main Population, ie MP) after co-culture on MSCs was realized.

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

Project description: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.
