Project description:Nuclear factor I-C belongs to a family of CTF binding transcription factor which is known for its role cellular differentiation. In our recent study we identified increased expression of NFIC in. AML samples as compared to normal haematpoitic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). We also found that overexpression of NFIC in cord blood derived HSPCs perturbed normal haematopoiesis by increasing monocyte production. Therefore in this analysis we aimed to identify the effect of NFIC overexpression in normal HSPCs at single cell level using single cell RNA (scRNA) sequencing. Cluster analysis based on the cellular and functional identities, identified eight clusters according to their terminal differentiation as monocytes, erythrocytes, dendritic cells (DC), megakaryocytes, neutrophils, megakaryocyte-erythroid progenitor cells, basophil/mast progenitor cells and eosinophils. We found that NFIC overexpressing CD34+ HSPCs had increased percentage of monocytes as compared to control. To understand the molecular basis of this, we focussed our analysis on monocytes to determine changes in mRNA expression following NFIC overexpression. We identified 164 and 88 significantly up-regulated and down-regulated genes, respectively (p<0.05, FDR<0.05) in NFIC overexpressing monocytes as compared to control. Pathway analysis identified enrichment in genes involved in mTOR signalling, cancer cell death and survival, energy metabolism pathways and oxidative phosphorylation. Therefore our scRNA suggested that NFIC play a role in monocytic growth development and its overexpression may lead to monocytic bias in normal haematopoiesis.

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a malignancy of transformed hematopoietic progenitors, which is curable in only 25-50% of patients thus the risk of relapse remains the major challenge. Considerable efforts in improving outcome through the understanding of AML biology elucidate that AML is not autonomous but rather supported by a complex multicellular-bone marrow microenvironment for leukemogenesis, leukemia expansion, and chemoresistance. Within the microenvironment, bone marrow mesenchymal stroma cells (BMSC) safeguard leukemia allowing rapid growth and enable resistance to therapy. Herein, we modeled leukemia-stroma interactions to unravel the reciprocal signaling processes regulating leukemic cell growth and survival. First, we conducted a proteomic analysis of primary AML samples (n=13) cocultured with non-malignant stroma cells by utilizing liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to understand how the stroma contributes to AML cellular signaling. In the analysis, 84 proteins were significantly affected including upregulation of rate-limiting metabolic enzymatic proteins NAMPT, FASN, and HK1 in AML-stroma cocultures relative to AML monoculture. Through an epigenetic drug screen, we modeled stroma mediated protection of leukemia and uncovered prominent drug resistance by histone deacytlase inhibitor (HDACi) treatment in cocultured leukemic cell lines and cocultured primary AML. We performed a quantitative phosphoproteomics analysis of AML-stroma interactions of leukemic KG1a cells in monoculture and in coculture with stroma (Hs5) treated with HDACi. We uncovered phosphorylation networks of stroma mediated protection enriched in pathways involved in AMP-activated signaling, glucose catabolic processes and EGF/EGFR signaling with the most potent changes in hyper-phosphorylation of acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase (ACSS2, S30) and of hypo-phosphorylation acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase alpha, (ACACA, S80) both of which are involved in acetyl-CoA (acetyl-CoA) utilization for fatty acid synthesis pathway. Validating these findings, we found that ACSS2 substrate, acetate, contributed to leukemic proliferative growth and ACSS2 loss impacted leukemia metabolic fitness. In addition, we uncovered a novel subgroup of AML patients based on high expression of ACSS1 or ACSS2, which significantly correlated with inferior outcome. The differentially upregulated genes of this ACSS1/2-high subgroup revealed a metabolic gene signature related to mitochondrial processes suggesting the metabolic state of AML may aid in predicting outcome. Our findings elucidate phosphoproteome network of AML-stroma interactions whereby overriding stroma mediated protection, we conclude, requires intervening the metabolic support by ACSS2 in AML.

Project description:Oncogenic addiction to FLT3 kinase signaling is a hallmark of FLT3-ITD+ acute myeloid leukemia (AML). While FLT3 inhibitors like sorafenib show initial therapeutic efficacy, resistance rapidly develops through mechanisms that are incompletely understood. Here, utilizing RNA-Seq based analysis of patient leukemic cells, we found significant up-regulation of the Tec-family kinase BMX during sorafenib resistance. BMX upregulation was recapitulated in an in vivo FLT3-ITD+ model of sorafenib resistance. Mechanistically, we found that the anti-angiogenic effects of sorafenib led to increased bone-marrow hypoxia, which contributed to HIF-dependent BMX upregulation. In in vitro experiments, hypoxia-dependent BMX up-regulation was observed in both AML and non-AML cell lines. Functional studies in FLT3-ITD+ cell lines showed that BMX is part of a compensatory signaling mechanism that promotes AML cell survival during FLT3 inhibition. Our results demonstrate that hypoxia-dependent up-regulation of BMX contributes to therapeutic resistance through a compensatory pro-survival signaling mechanism. These results also reveal the role of ‘off-target’ drug effects on tumor microenvironment and development of acquired drug resistance. We propose that the bone marrow niche can be altered by anti-cancer therapeutics, resulting in drug resistance through cell non-autonomous microenvironment-dependent effects.

Project description:Aberrant kinase and phosphatase activity frequently contribute to Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Here we characterize the Protein Phosphatase 2A (PP2A) as a mediator of differentiation and cell cycle arrest in AML. Using a novel PP2A activator OSU-2S, we show that PP2A activation results in differentiation, growth arrest and cell death in AML, via depletion of c-Myc and upregulation of p21. Gene expression and mass cytometric profiling further show modulation of cell cycle regulators and differentiation factors, and importantly, decreased CD34+/CD38- stem cells in patient derived AML blasts treated with OSU-2S. Finally, we demonstrate in-vivo therapeutic efficacy of OSU-2S as seen by increased differentiation, decreased clonogenicity and improved survival in a Tet2-/-Flt3ITD murine AML model and human AML models.

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients suffer from chemo-resistance, high relapse frequency, and low overall survival rate, outcomes driven by leukemic stem cells (LSCs). Understanding the molecular mechanisms that support these primitive leukemic cells is crucial for developing effective AML therapeutics. In the present study, we demonstrate that upregulation of the splicing factor RBM17 preferentially marks and sustains the primitive compartment of AML. We performed shotgun proteomics to characterize the proteome changes upon RBM17 knockdown in AMl cells. In addition, we used proteomics to analyze the proteome changes after knockdown of EIF4A2, a direct splicing substrate of RBM17 in AML cells.

Project description:The transcription factors STAT3, STAT5A and STAT5B steer hematopoiesis and immunity, but their enhanced expression and activation promotes acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or natural killer/T cell lymphoma (NKCL). Current therapeutic strategies focus on blocking upstream tyrosine kinases to inhibit STAT3/5, but these kinase blockers are not selective against STAT3/5 activation and frequent resistance causes relapse, emphasizing the need for STAT3/5 targeted therapy. We evaluated JPX‑0700 and JPX-0750 efficacy as dual STAT3/5 binding inhibitors promoting protein degradation. JPX‑0700/-0750 decreased the mRNA and protein levels of STAT3/5 targets involved in cancer survival, metabolism and cell cycle progression, exhibiting nanomolar to low micromolar efficacy. They induced cell death and growth arrest in both AML/NKCL cell lines and primary AML patient blasts. We found that both AML/NKCL cells hijack STAT3/5 signaling through either upstream activating mutations in kinases, activating mutations in STAT3, mutational loss of negative STAT regulators, or genetic gains in survival, proliferative or epigenetic-modifier STAT3/5 targets. This emphasizes a vicious cycle for proliferation and survival through STAT3/5. Both JPX-0700/-0750 treatment reduced leukemic cell growth in human AML or NKCL xenograft mouse models significantly, being well tolerated in mice. Synergistic cell death was induced upon combinatorial use with approved chemotherapeutics in AML/NKCL cells.

Project description:Expression of proteins regulating apoptosis (BCL-2, MCL-1, BCL-X and BAX) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) blasts at diagnosis have been shown to be associated with disease-free survival. We previously found that the initially high apoptosis-resistance of AML cells decreased after therapy, while regaining high levels at relapse. This suggested a dynamic regulation of apoptosis. We hypothesized that expression of apoptosis-related proteins in AML blasts, and possibly also in bystander cells in the bone marrow, is regulated by extracellular factors present in the AML microenvironment. Tumor cell communication with its microenvironment is emerging as an important determinant playing multiple roles in cancer. Both soluble factors and extracellular vesicles (EVs), most notably exosomes, have been shown to influence cellular processes of malignant and normal cells in the tumor microenvironment. We performed a proteomics analysis of the whole secretome as well as of EVs secreted by AML blasts to pinpoint released protein factors that might mediate apoptosis-resistance.

Project description:Bitter taste receptors (T2Rs) are typical G-protein coupled receptors expressed in various tissue where they are involved in the regulation of physiological processes, thus suggesting a wider function in sensing microenvironment. We analyzed their expression and role in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). AML cells express functional T2Rs and their stimulation with the agonist, denatonium benzoate, substantially modified the AML cell transcriptomic profile and functions. GEP analysis identified relevant cellular processes affected by denatonium treatment in AML, including cell cycle, survival, migration and metabolism. More precisely, T2R activation reduced proliferation by inducing cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase or induced apoptosis via caspase cascade activation; impaired AML cell motility and migratory capacity; inhibited cellular respiration by decreasing glucose uptake and oxidative phosphorylation.

Project description:Gene expression data from AML cell lines, MOLM-14, U937, THP-1 and HL-60, that were infected with a scrambled control hairpin (shControl), two shRNAs directed against GSK-3B (shGSK3B_1 and shGSK3B_2), or two shRNAs directed against GSK-3A (shGSK3A_5 and shGSK3A_6). Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common form of acute leukemia in adults. Long-term survival of patients with AML has changed little over the past decade, necessitating the identification and validation of new AML targets. Integration of genomic approaches with small-molecule and genetic-based high-throughput screening holds the promise of improved discovery of candidate targets for cancer therapy. Here, we identified a role for glycogen synthase kinase 3A (GSK-3A) in AML by performing two independent small-molecule library screens and an shRNA screen for perturbations that induced a differentiation expression signature in AML cells. GSK-3 is a serine-threonine kinase involved in diverse cellular processes including differentiation, signal transduction, cell cycle regulation, and proliferation. We demonstrated that specific loss of GSK-3A induced differentiation in AML by multiple measurements, including induction of gene expression signatures, morphological changes, and cell surface markers consistent with myeloid maturation. GSK-3AM-bM-^@M-^Sspecific suppression also led to impaired growth and proliferation in vitro, induction of apoptosis, loss of colony formation in methylcellulose, and anti-AML activity in vivo. Although the role of GSK-3B has been well studied in cancer development, these studies support a role for GSK-3A in AML. The AML cell lines, MOLM-14, U937, THP-1 and HL-60, were infected with a scrambled control hairpin (shControl), two shRNAs directed against GSK-3B (shGSK3B_1 and shGSK3B_2), and two shRNAs directed against GSK-3A (shGSK3A_5 and shGSK3A_6).
