T-Cells from CLL patients

ABSTRACT: T cells may have a role in sustaining the leukemic clone in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). In this study, we have examined the ability of T cells from CLL patients to support the survival of the leukemic B cells in vitro. Additionally, we compared global gene expression of T cells from indolent CLL patients with healthy individuals and multiple myeloma (MM) patients. Apoptosis of purified CLL cells was inhibited in vitro when cocultured with increasing numbers of autologous T cells (p<0.01) but not with normal donors. The anti-apoptotic effect exceeded that of the antiapoptotic cytokine IL-4 (p=0.02) and was greater with CD8+ T cells than with CD4+ cells (p<0.05). The effect depended mainly on cell-cell contact although a significant effect was observed in transwell experiments (p<0.05). Additionally, about 356 genes involved in different cellular pathways were deregulated in T cells of CLL patients compared to healthy individuals and MM patients. The results of gene expression profiling was verified for 7 genes (KLF6, TRAF1, CCL4, CCL5, RANTES, XCL1 and XCL2) using qRT-PCR and immunoblotting. Our results demonstrate that CLL-derived T cells can prevent apoptosis of leukemic cells and have altered expression of genes that may facilitate survival of the leukemic clone.

Peripheral blood was collected by venipuncture from CLL patients, multiple myeloma (MM) patients and age-matched healthy individuals with informed consent and approval of the local Ethics Committee in keeping with the Helsinki declaration on the use of human subjects for research.

The mithralog EC-7072 is highly cytotoxic to chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells by targeting the B-cell receptor signaling pathway

Project description:EC-7072, an analogue of Mithramycin A, exerts a direct cytotoxic effect on primary leukemic cells from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in vitro. To elucidate the underlying mechanisms mediating this effect, RNA sequencing was carried out employing total RNA from primary leukemic cells exposed to EC-7072. Data analysis revealed a dramatic impact of the compound on the transcriptional profile of CLL cells, unraveling a modulation of key mediators associated to homeostasis and survival of CLL cells, including B-cell receptor signaling. Likewise, EC-7072 activated the expression of a pro-apoptotic network, while downregulating the expression of essential anti-apoptotic proteins such as BCL2.

Definition and characterization of the systemic T cell dysregulation in untreated indolent B cell lymphoma and very early CLL

Project description:Epidemiological data show that the immune system may control or promote emergence and growth of a neoplastic lymphomatous clone. Conversely, systemic lymphomas, especially myeloma and CLL, are associated with clinical immunodeficiency. This prospective controlled study demonstrates substantially reduced circulating T helper cells, predominantly naive CD4+ cells, in patients with non-leukemic follicular and extranodal marginal zone lymphomas, but not in monoclonal gammopathy and early CLL. These numerical changes were correlated with a preactivated phenotype, hyperreactivity in vitro, presenescence, and a Th2 shift of peripheral T helper cells. No prominent alterations were found in the regulatory T cell compartment. Gene expression profiling of in vitro-stimulated CD4+ cells revealed an independent second alteration of T helper cell physiology which was most pronounced in early CLL but also detectable in FL/eMZL. This pattern consisted of downregulation of proximal and intermediate T-cell receptor signaling cascades and globally reduced cytokine secretion. Both types of T cell dysfunction may contribute to significant immunodeficiency in non-leukemic indolent B-cell lymphomas as demonstrated by refractoriness to hepatitis B vaccination. The precise definition of systemic T cell dysfunction serves as the basis to study its prognostic impact, its relationship to the established influence of the lymphoma microenvironment, and its therapeutic manipulation 8 samples from FL/eMZL patients, 7 samples from CLL patients, 5 samples of MGUS patients, 5 MALT, 16 healthy controls

Gene expression profiles of monocytes derived from chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients and normal controls

Project description:We collected monocytes from peripheral blood of 5 chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients and 5 healthy donors and we performed gene expression analysis by microarray. Comparison of gene expression profiles (GEPs) between CLL-derived and normal monocytes was used to discover molecular abnormalities in this nonmalignant immune cellular population in leukemia-bearing patients. Although analysed cells were not part of the malignant clone, in unsupervised hierarchical clustering analysis, GEPs of normal monocytes were clearly distinguishable from those of monocytes obtained from CLL patients. Supervised analysis identified 65 genes significantly up-regulated and 48 genes down-regulated in CLL monocytes compared with monocytes from normal controls (FC=2, p<0.05). Modification of gene expression profile would imply impairment of phagocytosis and production of immunosuppressive mediators in CLL-derived monocytes. The alterations described in our study further contribute to characterize the complexity of factors potentially involved in acquired immune deficiency of CLL patients. Large-scale gene expression profiling (GEP) was performed on total RNA extracted from purified CD14+ monocytes (RNeasy Mini kit Plus, QIAGEN, Valencia, CA, USA) isolated from 5 individual CLL patients and 5 healthy controls by hybridization on 4X44K Whole Human Genome Microarray (Agilent Technologies, Palo alto, CA). Fluorescence data were analysed with Feature Extraction Software v.10.5 (Agilent Technologies) an QC Chart tool v.1.3. Agglomerative two-dimensional clustering analysis and supervised analyses based on t-test were performed using Gene Spring GX (Agilent) software. Genes were defined as differentially expressed between groups at a significant level of p<0.05 and with a fold change cut off Â± 2 in all the pair wise comparisons.

Association between distinct gene and miRNA expression profiles and utilization of stereotyped subset #4 in the cells of CLL patients [MicroRNA Profiling]

Project description:Highly homologous B-cell receptors, stereotyped BCR, are expressed in a recurrent fraction of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). In this study, we investigated the biological and molecular features of leukemic cells from 16 patients utilizing stereotyped subset #4 BCR (IGHV4-34) in a prospective cohort of 462 Binet stage A CLL patients. All subset #4 patients were characterized by the IGHV mutated gene configuration and by the absence of unfavorable cytogenetic lesions, and NOTCH1 and SF3B1 mutations. Gene expression profiling demonstrated a significant downregulation of WDFY4, MF2A and upregulation of PDGFA, FGFR1 and TFEC genes in leukemic cells from subset #4 compared to those from the remaining IGHV-mutated patients. Similarly, in the cells from subset #4 cases there was a specific miRNA expression pattern involving the upregulation of miR-497 and miR-29c. Furthermore transfection of miR-497 mimic in primary leukemic CLL cells induced a downregulation of BCL2, known to be a validated target of this miRNA. Our data identify a distinct gene and miRNA expression profile of the cells from subset #4 patients, providing further evidence for the putative role of BCR in shaping the features of the leukemic cells.

The enzymatic activities of CD38 enhance CLL growth and trafficking: implications for therapeutic targeting

Project description:The ecto-enzyme CD38 is a marker of unfavorable prognosis for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients and an indicator of activation and proliferation of leukemic cells. Here we show that CD38 is enzymatically active in primary CLL cells and that its forced expression increases disease aggressiveness in a xenograft model. The effect is completely lost when using an enzyme deficient version of CD38 with a single amino-acid mutation. Through the enzymatic conversion of NAD, CD38 increases cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentrations, positively influencing proliferation, chemotaxis, adhesion and matrix digestion. Inhibition of the enzymatic activities of CD38 using the flavonoid kuromanin blocks CLL homing. In a short-term xenograft model using primary cells, kuromanin treatment traps CLL cells in the blood, increasing responses to chemotherapy.
