Project description:Glucocorticoids (GC) are in most chemotherapy protocols for lymphoid malignancies, particularly childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) for their ability to induce apoptosis in malignant blast. The underlying mechanism, however, has so far only been investigated in model systems. This study comprises Affymetrix hgu133 plus 2.0 analyses of Peripheral blood lymphoblasts purified at three time points (0h, 6-8h, 24h after treatment initiation) from 13 children under therapy for ALL . Treated samples were compared to untreated (0h). For comparison, expression profiles were generated from an adult ALL patient, peripheral blood lymphocytes from GC-exposed healthy donors, GC-sensitive and -resistant ALL cell lines and mouse thymocytes treated with GC in vivo and in vitro. This second series comprises the additional samples mentioned above. Findings. An essentially complete list of GC-regulated candidate genes in clinical settings experimental and was generated, enabling immediate analysis of any gene with respect to its potential significance for GC-induced apoptosis in these systems. Gene regulations previously thought responsible for cell death in experimental systems were reconfirmed in few children only. In contrast, a small number of genes, most not implicated in GC-induced apoptosis previously, were co-ordinately regulated in the majority of children. Keywords: treatment response

Project description:Glucocorticoids (GC) have a major impact on the biology of normal and malignant cells of the lymphoid lineage. This includes induction of apoptosis which is exploited in the therapy of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and related lymphoid malignancies. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and the related mirtrons are ~22 nucleotide RNA molecules implicated in the control of essential biological functions including proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. They derive from polymerase-II transcripts but whether GCs regulate miRNA-encoding transcription units is not known. We investigated miRNA/mirtron expression and GC regulation in 8 ALL in vitro models and 13 ALL children undergoing systemic GC monotherapy using a combination of expression profiling techniques, real time RT-PCR and northern blotting to detect mature miRNAs and/or their precursors. We identified a number of GC-regulated miRNAs/mirtrons, including the myeloid-specific miR-223 and the apoptosis and cell cycle arrest-inducing mir15~16 cluster. Thus, the observed complex changes in miRNA/mirtron expression during GC treatment might contribute to the anti-leukemic GC effects in a cell context dependent manner. Experiment Overall Design: Glucocorticoid-sensitive T-ALL cell line CCRF-CEM-C7H2 was treated in 3 independent experiments either with 100nM dexametasone (a glucocorticoid) or 0.1% ethanol as an empty carrier control. Samples were taken at various timepoints (6 and 24 hours), RNA extracted and hybridized onto Affymetrix HGU133-plus2 microarrays. The microarray dataset was subsetted to probesets targetting potential primary microRNA transcripts (pri-miRNAs). Differentially expressed pri-miRNAs were identified for the comparisons of the 6h GC versus 6h EtOH (control) and for the 24h GC versus 24h EtOH (control) samples.

Project description:Article title: Expression, regulation and function of phosphofructo-kinase/fructose-biphosphatases (PFKFBs) in glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells. Glucocorticoids (GCs) cause apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in lymphoid cells and constitute a central component in the therapy of lymphoid malignancies, most notably childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). PFKFB2 (6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-biphosphatase-2), a kinase controlling glucose metabolism, was identified by us previously as a GC response gene in expression profiling analyses performed in children with ALL during initial systemic GC mono-therapy. Since deregulation of glucose metabolism has been implicated in apoptosis induction, this gene and its relatives PFKFB1, 3, and 4 were further analyzed. Expression analyses in additional ALL children, non-leukemic individuals and leukemic cell lines confirmed frequent PFKFB2 induction by GC in most systems sensitive to GC-induced apoptosis, particularly in T-ALL cells. The 3 other family members, in contrast, were not or weakly expressed (PFKFB1 and 4) or not induced by GC (PFKFB3). Conditional PFKFB2 over-expression in the CCRF-CEM T-ALL in vitro model revealed that its 2 splice variants (15A and 15B) did not have any detectable effect on survival or cell cycle progression. Moreover, neither PFKFB2 splice variant significantly affected sensitivity to, or kinetics of, GC-induced apoptosis. Our data suggest that, at least in the model system investigated, PFKFB2 is not an essential upstream regulator of the anti-leukemic effects of GC. Gene expression profiles of 4 non-leukemic individuals (1 healthy and 3 with epilepsy) were generated from mononuclear cells isolated from peripheral blood samples before, and after 2, 6, and 24 hours of in-vivo glucocorticoid treatment.

Project description:Background: Glucocorticoids are important pharmaceutical agents in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children. Resistance or sensitivity to glucocorticoids is considered to be of crucial importance for disease prognosis. Prednisolone is a first-line chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Here, the effects of prednisolone on the resistant CCRF-CEM leukemic cell line were studied. Methods: Prednisolone’s cytotoxic and cell cycle effects were studied with flow cytometry. NF-κB translocation was studied with Western Blotting and differential gene expression was studied with cDNA microarrays. Results: Prednisolone exerted a delayed biphasic effect, necrotic at low doses and apoptotic at higher doses. At low doses, prednisolone exerted a pre-dominant mitogenic effect despite its induction on total cell death, while at higher doses, prednisolone’s mitogenic and cell death effects were counterbalanced. NF-κB was constitutively present in the nucleus. Early gene microarray analysis revealed 40 differentially expressed genes upon 4 hours of prednisolone’s exposure. Notable differences in gene regulation were observed between the lowest and the highest glucocorticoid doses. Prednisolone activated genes related to apoptosis/tumor suppression, cell cycle progression, metabolism and intra-/ extra-cellular signaling pathways. Conclusions: The mitogenic/biphasic effects of prednisolone are of clinical importance in the case of resistant leukemic cells. This approach might lead to the identification of gene candidates for future molecular drug targets in combination therapy with glucocorticoids, along with early markers for glucocorticoid resistance. Elucidation of the mechanisms of GC action may lead to identification of gene targets responsible for GC resistance. Key tools in this process are high-throughput technologies such as microarray-based gene expression analysis. For this purpose, the parental CCRF-CEM cell line was chosen as the system of study for the effects of prednisolone treatment. This is a T-cell leukemia cell line characterized by a mutation (L753F) on one GR gene allele that impairs ligand binding (Thompson and Johnson 2003). It is known that both the DNA and ligand binding domains of the GR are required in order to repress NF-κB transactivation (Wissink, van Heerde et al. 1997). Interestingly, concerning the question whether this mutation would affect GC resistance, it has been reported previously that both the GC-resistant as well as the GC-sensitive CCRF-CEM subclones express heterogeneous populations of the GR (GRwt/GRL753F) (Palmer and Harmon 1991; Powers, Hillmann et al. 1993). The CCRF-CEM cell line has been reported to be resistant to GCs, presumably due to the accumulation of more resistant variants after long periods of prolonged culture (Norman and Thompson 1977). It is possible that these cells are clonally inhomogeneous, as possibly the cells obtained in vivo by patients. Moreover, the large number of the CCRF-CEM subclone studies in the literature makes it difficult to choose an appropriate resistant cell model. In addition, the utilization of an in vitro system for this study offered reproducibility, an opportunity to closely examine intracellular signals and avoid interference from other in vivo-participating systems. Thus, the cell line used for this study was considered to be useful in studying GC action and resistance in leukemic cells. The aim of this work was to determine the cytotoxic, cell cycle phase distribution and early cancer-specific gene expression effects of prednisolone in CCRF-CEM cells, as an in vitro model of ALL resistance to glucocorticoids. The early gene expression profile allowed identification of genes initiating pivotal, early onset regulatory mechanisms activated by GC and excluded ensuing feedback responses and further downstream signals. Samples tested were in the form of a loop-design i.e. control vs. 10nM prednisolone (designated 0vs1) , 10nM prednisolone vs.700uM prednisolone (designated 1vs3) and control vs. 700uM prednisolone (designated 0vs3), the sum of the logarithms of the first two should equal the third. In other words if Rj,i is the ratio of the ith gene in the jth experiment then R0vs1,i+R1vs3,i=R0vs3,i. We tested this using a statistical test. We have applied an intensity-dependent z-score where the sum of the ratios was compared to the ratio of the third experiment. If the difference was significant genes, in a standard deviation threshold of ±1.5 in relative units, were rejected from further analysis (Kerr and Churchill 2001; Kerr and Churchill 2001; Altman and Hua 2006; Kerr and Churchill 2007).
