ABSTRACT: Purpose: The goals of this study is to uncover the cellular pathways that are essential for T-cell malignant transformation driven by ORP4L and HTLV-1 oncogene Tax. Methods: T-cell mRNA profiles of WT, ORP4L KI, Wild-type, LCK/R26Tax, ORP4Lcko;LCK/R26Tax mice were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina NovaSeq 6000 sequencer for 318 cycles.Reads that passed the Illumina quality filters were kept for the subsequent analyses. Adapters were trimmed from the reads, and reads shorter than 17 nt were discarded. The reads were mapped to the Mouse mRNA reference database using FANSe3 algorithm on Chi-Cloud NGS Analysis Platform (Chi-Biotech Co. Ltd., Shenzhen, China). Results: We use edgeR to analysis ORP4kI-vs-WT, LCK/R26Tax-vs-Wild-type,ORP4Lcko;LCK/R26Tax-vs-Wild-type,with a |log2 (FoldChange)| > 1 and p value <0.01. Hierarchical clustering of differentially expressed genes uncovered several as yet uncharacterized genes that may contribute to promote T-cell malignant. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of transcriptomes that promote T-cell malignant transformation driven by HTVL-1 oncogene Tax.

Project description:Lck-Dlx5 induces T-cell lymphoma but the mechanism is unknown. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying Dlx5-induced T-cell lymphoma T-cells were isolated from Lck-Dlx5 mice, Lck-MyrAkt2 mice and Wild type littermates for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
Project description:IL-15 is recognized as a promising candidate for tumor immunotherapy and has been described as both a promoter of cancer and a promoter of anti-cancer immunity. IL-15 was discovered in cells transformed by HTLV-1, the etiologic agent of adult T cell leukemia / lymphoma (ATL) and the human retrovirus that carries the Tax oncogene. We have developed the TAX-LUC mouse model of ATL in which Tax expression drives both malignant transformation and luciferase expression, enabling non-invasive imaging of tumorigenesis in real time. To identify the role of IL-15 in spontaneous development of lymphoma in vivo, an IL-15-/- TAX-LUC strain was developed and examined. The absence of IL-15 resulted in aggressive tumor growth and accelerated mortality and demonstrated that IL-15 was not required for Tax-mediated lymphoma but was essential for anti-tumor immunity. Further analysis revealed a unique transcriptional profile in tumor cells that arise in the absence of IL-15 that included a significant increase in the expression of IL-1α and IL-1α-regulated cytokines. Moreover, anti-IL-1α antibodies and an IL-1 receptor antagonist (Anakinra) were used to interrogate the potential of IL-1α targeted therapies in this model. Taken together, these findings identify IL-15 and IL-1α as therapeutic targets in lymphoma. We used microarrays to compare the gene expression profile of tumors in IL-15-/- TAX-LUC mice to IL-15+/+ TAX-LUC mice RNA was obtained from CD16/32HI and CD16/32LO cells harvested from n=2 IL-15+/+ (control)and n=2 IL-15-/- Tax tumors and was compared to look for alterations in gene expression in malignant and tumor infiltrating cells resulting from loss of IL-15 in vivo
Project description:Lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (Lck) is crucial for signaling from the T cell receptor (TCR) and is controlled through tyrosine phosphorylations. Phosphorylated Tyr505 (pTyr505) promotes a closed, inactive conformation of Lck, while pTyr394 is critical for kinase activity. Additionally, pTyr192 has been suggested to regulate Lck activity by changing the specificity of the Lck Src-homology 2 (SH2) domain and/or by affecting Lck association with CD45 thus drastically increasing pTyr505. However, little is known about how pTyr192 affects endogenously expressed Lck. Here we used CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing to generate Jurkat cell lines expressing Lck Glu192 mimicking Lck pTyr192, or Lck Phe192 mimicking unphosphorylated Lck Tyr192. We confirmed that Lck Glu192 is hyperphosphorylated on Tyr505, possibly explaining reduced association of Lck Glu192 with prototypic Lck-SH2 ligands. To isolate the effect of Lck Tyr192 mutations from the effect on Lck pTyr505, we subsequently generated Jurkat cells doubly mutated on Lck Tyr192 and Lck Tyr505. Both Lck Phe192/Phe505 and Lck Glu192/Phe505 mutants co-precipitated similar amounts of binding partners. Moreover, both mutants displayed hyperphosphorylation of Tyr394. Our results indicate that CD45 is the main phosphatase controlling Lck pTyr394 in steady-state T cells. Additionally, our data demonstrate that the prototypic specificity of the Lck SH2 domain (owned by the Lck Phe192 mutants) promotes transphosphorylation of Tyr394. These observations pinpoint the fundamental role of Tyr192 in regulation of Lck activity and simultaneously reveal the most potent Lck mutants so far described

Project description:T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive hematological malignancy, and novel therapeutics are much needed. Profiling patient leukemia’ drug sensitivities ex vivo, we discovered that 44.4% of childhood and 16.7% of adult T-ALL cases exquisitely respond to dasatinib. Applying network-based systems pharmacology analyses to examine signal circuitry, we identified preTCR-LCK activation as the driver of dasatinib sensitivity, and T-ALL-specific LCK dependency was confirmed in genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screens. Dasatinib-sensitive T-ALLs exhibited high BCL-XL and low BCL2 activity and venetoclax resistance. Discordant sensitivity of T-ALL to dasatinib and venetoclax is strongly correlated with T-cell differentiation, particularly with the dynamic shift in LCK vs. BCL2 activation. Finally, single-cell analysis identified leukemia heterogeneity in LCK and BCL2 signaling and T-cell maturation stage, consistent with dasatinib response. In conclusion, our results indicate that developmental arrest in T-ALL drives differential activation of preTCR-LCK and BCL2 signaling in this leukemia, providing unique opportunities for targeted therapy.

Project description:Lck-MyrAkt2 mice develop spontaneous thymic lymphomas at approximately 100-200 days of age, driven in part by a consitutatively-active AKT (due to myristoylation). mTOR Knock Down mice were crossed with Lck-MyrAkt postive mice to model the affects of decreasing mTOR activity on tumors with an activated PI3K/AKT/MTOR pathway. Lck-Akt/mTOR KD mice had prolonged survival compared to the Lck-Akt/mTOR WT mice. We used microarrays to compare the transcriptome in thymic lymphomas between Lck-Akt positive, mTOR WT and Lck-Akt positive, mTOR KD mice. Four thymic lymphomas from Lck-Akt/mTOR WT mice were compared to three thymic lymphomas from Lck-Akt/mTOR KD mice.
