Gene expression signatures for apigenin treatment in human AML cell lines
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: To investigate the effect of apigenin on gene expression, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes with the potential to suppress the cell proliferation of human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines. HL-60 amn NB4 cells were treated with apigenin for 24 h in vitro.
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:The changes of mature microRNA expression levels after apigenin treatment on Huh7 cells were determined. Huh7 cells were treated with 10microM apigenin for 24hr and the changes of global mature microRNA expression levels were determined.
Project description:The AML1-ETO fusion protein, a transcription factor generated by the t(8;21) translocation in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), dictates a leukemic program by increasing self-renewal and inhibiting differentiation. Here we demonstrate that the histone demethylase JMJD1C functions as a co-activator for AML1-ETO and is required for its transcriptional program. JMJD1C is directly recruited by AML1-ETO to its target genes and regulates their expression by maintaining low H3K9me2 levels. Analyses in JMJD1C knockout mice also establish a JMJD1C requirement for AML1-ETOâs ability to increase proliferation. We also show a critical role for JMJD1C in the survival of multiple human AML cell lines, suggesting that it is required for leukemic programs in different AML cell types through its association with key transcription factors. Examination of JMJD1C and LYL1 chromatin binding in Kasumi-1 cells, HL-60 cells, NB-4 cells and THP-1 cells, including ChIP-seqs of JMJD1C and LYL1, and input DNAs for Kasumi-1, HL-60, NB4.
Project description:Global gene expression profiles were analyzed in HL-60 cells with SATB1 knockdown to investigate the mechanisms underlying the regulation of AML cell growth by SATB1.Genes that displayed two-fold up-regulation or 0.5-fold down-regulation in expression in comparisons were selected for further analyses. Arrays with poor quality according to the manufacturer's recommendations were excluded from further analysis.We found the differentially expressed genes were involved in NF-κB, MAPK and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways. Nuclear NF-κB p65 levels were significantly increased in SATB1 depleted HL-60 cells.
Project description:Differential gene expression in mice liver after apigenin administration. Gene expression from control mice were compared with apigenin treated mice at different dose level.
Project description:Differential gene expression in mice liver after apigenin administration. Gene expression from control mice were compared with apigenin treated mice at different dose level. To study differential expression primarily at high stringency and in dose dependent manner was to increase the statistical confidence in the detection of important genes and cellular processes with a probable role in the initiation and propagation of toxicity as well as those possibly involved in regeneration during the early phase of tissue response.
Project description:Daunorubicin (DNR) and Cytarabin (Ara-C) are the main chemotherapeutic drugs used for Acute Myeloid Leukemias (AML) treatment. However, their mode of action is not well understood. To decipher if these drug would induce rapid transcriptional reprogramming, we treated HL-60 AML cell line with DNR or Ara-C for 3 hours and carried out a transcriptomic analyses. In addition, we had shown that Reactive Oxigen Species (ROS) produced by NADPH oxidases (NOX) are involved in DNR-induced gene expression. We therefore also performed a transcriptomic analyses in HL-60 cells treated with DNR and VAS2870, an NADPH oxidase inhibitor. HL-60 cells were treated or not for 3 hours with 2 µM Ara-C, 1 µM DNR or 1 µM DNR + 20µM VAS 2870. RNAs were purified from 3 independent experiments and used to probe Affymetrix Human Gene 2.0 ST Genechips
Project description:Apigenin regulates multiple pathways related to microvesicle biogenesis without affecting the expression of small Rho GTPase activator guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs). However, apigenin can primarily targets ARHGEF1 protein, a GEF of the small GTPases, thereby inhibiting the activity of small G proteins such as Cdc42, which is essential in regulating the signaling for the release of microvesicles from tumor cells. Targeting ARHGEF1, apigenin effectively prevents tumor cells from releasing microvesicles. This, in turn, inhibits tumor angiogenesis related to VEGF90K transport on microvesicles, ultimately impeding tumor progression.
Project description:To understand the mechanism by which AML-EVs may enforce quiescence, we performed tandem mass tag (TMT) proteomic profiling of in vitro cultured c-Kit+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) (to obtain the minimum required amount of protein lysates) treated with extracellular vesicles (EVs) for 48 hours from human HL-60 or Molm-14 cell cultures versus controls.
