Expression Signature of Human Endogenous Retroviruses in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

ABSTRACT: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is one of the most diagnosed forms of leukemia worldwide and it is usually classified into two forms: indolent and aggressive. These two forms are characterized by distinct molecular features that drive different responses to treatment and clinical outcomes. In this context, a better understanding of the molecular landscape of the CLL forms may potentially lead to the development of new drugs or the identification of novel biomarkers. Human Endogenous Retroviruses (HERVs) are a class of transposable elements that have been associated with the development of different human cancers, including different forms of leukemias. However, no studies about HERVs in CLL have ever been reported so far. Here, we present the first locus-specific profiling of HERV expression in both the aggressive and indolent forms of CLL. Our analyses revealed several dysregulations in HERV expression occurring in CLL and some of them were specific for either the aggressive or indolent form of CLL. Such results were also validated by analyzing an external cohort of CLL patients and by RT-qPCR. Moreover, in-silico analyses have shown relevant signaling pathways associated with them suggesting a potential involvement of the dysregulated HERVs in these pathways and consequently in CLL development.

A Comprehensive Hybridization Model Allows Whole HERV Transcriptome Profiling Using High Density Microarray

Project description:Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) have received much attention for their implications in the etiology of many human diseases and their profound effect on evolution. Notably, recent studies have highlighted associations between HERVs expression and cancers [1], autoimmunity [2] and neurological [3] conditions. Their repetitive nature makes their study particularly challenging, where expression studies have largely focused on individual loci [4] or general trends within families [5, 6, 7]. To refine our understanding of HERVs activity, we introduce here a new microarray, HERV-V3, that offers an almost complete coverage of HERVs and their ancestors (mammalian apparent LTR-retrotransposons, MALRs) at the locus level. This was made possible by the careful detection and annotation of genomic HERVs/MALRs sequences as well as the development of a new hybridization model, allowing the optimization of probe performances and the control of cross-reactions. Although no gold standard in HERVs measurement exists to validate the array, HERV-V3 analytical performances were comparable to commercial Affymetrix arrays, and for a selection of tissue/pathological specific loci, the patterns of expression found on HERV-V3 were consistent with those reported in the literature.

Expression analysis of genes located in the minimally deleted regions of 13q14 and 11q22-23 in chronic lymphocytic leukemia – unexpected expression pattern of the RHO GTPase activator ARHGAP20

Project description:In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), 13q14 and 11q22-23 deletions are found in 2/3 of the cases. 11q22-23 deletions are associated with poor survival, whereas 13q14 deletions as single abnormality are often found in indolent disease forms. The molecular basis for this difference in prognosis is not known. ARHGAP20 encodes an evolutionarily conserved protein. In the zebra fish (Danio rerio) genome the syntenic regions of human chromosomal bands 13q14 and 11q22-23 are juxtaposed. The similar expression profiles of ARHGAP20 in 13q14 and 11q22-23 deleted CLL cases suggest a molecular connection and an intriguing mechanism of regulation. Analysis of 154 samples of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (109 HGU-133plus2; 45 HGU-133A; 45 HGU-133B) from adult patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

Expression data of CLL cells with and without NFAT2 expression

Project description:Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a disorder of mature B cells. Most patients are characterized by indolent disease and an anergic phenotype of their leukemia cells which refers to a state of unresponsiveness to B cell receptor stimulation. Using the Eµ-TCL1 mouse model, we show that B cell-specific ablation of NFAT2 leads to the loss of the anergic phenotype culminating in a significantly compromised life expectancy and histological transformation to aggressive disease. We further define a gene expression signature of anergic CLL cells consisting of several NFAT2-dependant genes employing microarray technology.

Active AKT Signaling triggers CLL towards Richter's transformation via over-activation of Notch1

Project description:Richter's syndrome (RS) is an aggressive transformation of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL) frequently due to TP53, CDKN2, MYC or NOTCH1 mutations. whereas a significant proportion displays no specifically acquired driver mutation. We observe constitutive AKT phosphorylation not only in high-risk CLL patients harbouring p53 and NOTCH mutations but also in numerous RS patients. Consistently, genetic over-activation of AKT within the Eµ-TCL1 CLL mouse model results in a high-grade lymphoma phenotype of Richters syndrome. Multiomics assessment of our novel mouse model revealed a S100 defined subcluster of highly proliferative lymphoma cells developing from indolent CLL-like B-cells as a consequence of sudden NOTCH activation being fueled by enhanced NOTCH ligand exposure from T-cells in the microenvironment. Our data link AKT and NOTCH signaling in patient samples, genomic alterations, phosphoproteome and single-cell transcriptome profiles. Collectively, we have identified active AKT as a causative transforming pathway of indolent CLL towards aggressive RS thus providing novel mechanistic insights into the molecular understanding of RS.

Transcription profiling of human indolent and aggressive forms of Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML)

Project description:Title: Gene expression analysis of indolent and aggressive forms of Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML). Description: Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia presents in chronic phase (CP) and terminates in 'blast crisis'. Despite a common abnormality, the duration of CP is variable. The aim is to compare the gene expression profiles of the indolent and aggressive forms of CML. All samples were taken within 3 months of first diagnosis. Indolent patients were defined by chronic phase CML, duration minimum 7 years. Aggressive patients were defined by chronic phase, duration maximum 3 years.

Analysis of HERV transcriptome in PBMCs upon dose dependent LPS stimulations identifies HERVs and genes shared signaling pathways

Project description:Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs/MaLRs) are distributed among our 24 chromosomes and their long terminal repeats (LTRs) constitute putative regulatory sequences. HERVs have received much attention for their implication in cancer, autoimmunity and placental development. Herein, we used a recently described high-density microarray allowing the exploration of the whole HERVs/MaLRs transcriptome including 353,994 HERVs/MaLRs loci and also 1559 genes related to immunity. We obtained a first view of the HERV transcriptome in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) by using a composite panel of unstimulated, low dose and high dose LPS-stimulated PBMCs from healthy volunteers to mimic inflammatory response or monocyte anergy. About 5.6% of the HERVs/MaLRs repertoire is transcribed in PBMCs. Roughly, one tenth [5.7%-13.1%] of LTRs present a constitutive promoter or polyA function and a quarter [19.5%-27.6%] of LTRs may shift from silent to active LTRs, LTRs being broadly subjected to operational determinism. We provide evidence that some HERVs/MaLRs and genes share similar control of regulation upon LPS stimulation conditions, e.g. presenting a low dose LPS-dependent “tolerizable” profile which can be reversed by INF-g stimulation. Similarly to tissue tropism observed in solid tumors, stimulus-dependent response confirm that the expression of HERVs is tightly regulated in PBMCs. Altogether, these observations allow to integrate 62 HERVs/MaLRs and 26 genes in 11 canonical pathways. We highlight HERVs close to OAS2/3 and IFI44/IFI44L genes. HERV incorporation at the crossroads of immune response pathways, paves the way for further functional studies and analyses of HERV transcriptome in altered immune responses in vivo such as in sepsis.

Identification of human endogenous retroviruses working as enhancers in cancer cells

Project description:Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are a sort of transposable elements. HERVs harbor abundant regulatory elements in their sequences and have a potential to work as enhancers modulating the expressions of the adjacent genes. Some HERV-enhancers are particularly activated in cancer cells and suspected to be associated with cancer progression. To verify the enhancer activity of HERVs on the gene expressions in lung adenocarcinoma cells, we established the HERV-excised A549 cell lines using a CRISPR-Cas9 system and performed RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) analysis of these cells.

A human endogenous retrovirus encoded protease potentially cleaves numerous cellular proteins

Project description:Background: The human genome consists of considerable portions derived from retroviruses inherited for millions of years. So-called human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are usually severely mutated, yet some coding-competent HERVs exist. The HERV-K(HML-2) group includes evolutionarily young proviruses that still encode typical retroviral proteins. HERV-K(HML-2) has been implicated in various human diseases because transcription is often upregulated and some of the encoded proteins are known to affect cell biology. HERV-K(HML-2) Protease (Pro) has received little attention so far, although it appears expressed in some disease contexts and other retroviral proteases are known to process cellular proteins. Results: We set out to identify human cellular proteins being substrates of HERV-K(HML-2) Pro employing a modified Terminal Amine Isotopic Labeling of Substrates (TAILS) procedure. Thousands of human proteins were identified as significantly processed by HERV-K(HML-2) Pro. Identified proteins locate to various cellular compartments and participate in diverse, often disease-relevant cellular processes. We verified cleavage of a majority of selected human proteins in vitro and in vivo. Conclusions: Hundreds, if not thousands of cellular proteins are potential substrates of HERV-K(HML-2) Pro. It is conceivable that even low-level expression of HERV-K(HML-2) Pro has a functional impact on cell biology and thus relevance for human diseases. Specific studies will be required to elucidate effects of HERV-K(HML-2) Pro expression regarding human substrate proteins, cell biology and disease. Endogenous retrovirus-encoded Pro activity may also be relevant for disease development in species other than human.
