Gene expression data from 8 pairs of CD138+/- myeloma cell lines

ABSTRACT: 8 pairs of myeloma cell lines were sorted by MACS CD138-microbead, and the each cell lines were divided into two fraction CD138+ and CD138-. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in these 8 pairs of CD138+/- myeloma cell lines

Project description:Despite recent advances in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM), it remains an incurable disease potentially due to the presence of resistant myeloma cancer stem cells (MM-CSC). Although the presence of clonogenic cells in MM was described more than 30 years ago, the phenotype of MM-CSC is still a matter of debate, especially with respect to the expression of syndecan- 1 (CD138). Here, we demonstrate the presence of two subpopulations - CD138++ (95-99%) and CD138low (1-5%) - in eight MM cell lines. To find out possible stem-cell-like features, we have phenotypically, genomic and functionally characterized the two subpopulations. Our results show that the minor CD138low subpopulation is morphologically identical to the CD138++ fraction and does not represent a more immature B-cell compartment (with lack of CD19, CD20 and CD27 surface expression). Moreover, both subpopulations have similar gene expression and genomic profiles. Importantly, both CD138++ and CD138low subpopulations have similar sensitivity to bortezomib, melphalan and doxorubicin. Finally, serial engraftment in SCID mice shows that CD138++ as well as CD138low cells have self-renewal potential and they are also phenotypically interconvertible. Overall, our results differ from previously published data which attribute a B-cell phenotype to MM-CSC and urge the need to explore more reliable markers to discriminate true clonogenic myeloma cells. To compare the gene expression profile of the subpopulations CD138++ and CD138low within the MM cell line, RPMI-8226. RNA was isolated from CD138++ (n=3) and CD138low (n=3) RPMI-8226 cells. RNA was hybridized to Human Gene 1.0 ST array (Affymetrix) according to Affymetrix protocols [Gutierrez, 2005, 402]. Microarray data were normalized using the Robust Multichip Analysis (RMA) algorithm implemented in the Affymetrix Expression Console. Data analysis was carried out using DNA-Chip Analyzer software (DChip). The comparison criteria used in DChip analysis were fold change E/BM-bM-^IM-%2 or B/EM-bM-^IM-%2, mean difference E-B>100 or B-E>100 and the lower 90% confidence bound of fold-change was used
