Project description:Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a disease with a highly variable prognosis. The clinical course can however be predicted thanks to prognostic markers. Poor prognosis is associated with expression of a B cell receptor (BCR) from unmutated immunoglobulin variable heavy-chain genes (IgVH) and expression of zeta associated protein of 70 kDa (ZAP-70). The reason why ZAP-70 expression is associated with poor prognosis and whether the protein has a direct pathogenic function is at present unknown. By transfer of ZAP-70 to CLL cells, we show here that expression of ZAP-70 in CLL cells leads to increased expression of the NF-M-NM-:B target genes interleukin-1M-NM-2 (IL-1M-NM-2), IL-6 and IL-8 upon BCR triggering. This could be blocked by inhibition of NF-M-NM-:B signaling through inhibition of IM-NM-:B kinases (IKK). Transcriptome analysis identified a NF-M-NM-:B RelA signature imposed by ZAP-70 expression in BCR stimulated CLL cells. We conclude that ZAP-70 acts directly as an amplifier of NF-M-NM-:B signaling in CLL cells which could be an underlying mechanism for its association with poor prognosis and which may represent a therapeutic target. 22 patient samples, Stimulated for 3h or 24h, Electroporated with capped ZAP-70 mRNA or uncapped ZAP-70 mRNA (negative control)

Project description:B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) is a heterogenous disease with a highly variable clinical course and analysis of ZAP-70 and CD38 expression on B-CLL cells allowed for identification of patients with good (ZAP-70-CD38-), intermediate (discordant expression of ZAP-70 and CD38) and poor (ZAP-70+CD38+) prognosis. In an attempt to identify a molecular basis that may underly this diverse clinical behaviour DNA microarray technology was employed to compare eight ZAP-70+CD38+ with eight ZAP-70-CD38- B-CLL cases. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression distinguising B-CLL from patient with good (samples 1 to 8) and poor prognosis (sample 9 to 16) and identified distinct classes of up- and down-regulated genes. Experiment Overall Design: To compare the transcriptosomes of good prognosis CLL cases (ZAP-70-CD38-) to poor prognosis cases (ZAP-70+CD38+), we purified CD19+ cells from peripheral blood samples by immunomagnetic isolation using MidiMacs, resulting in >95% purity of leukemic cells as detected by FACS analysis of CD19+CD5+ cells. The leukemic cells were freshly purified from untreated patients and RNA was directly isolated from fresh cells without further ex vivo treatment of the cells. Eight immunomagnetically purified peripheral blood derived ZAP-70+CD38+ CLL cases were compared with eight ZAP-70-CD38- B-CLL cases.

Project description:The expression of ZAP-70 in a subset of CLL patients strongly correlates with a more aggressive clinical course, though the exact underlying mechanisms remain elusive. The ability of ZAP-70 to enhance B cell receptor (BCR) signaling, independently of its kinase function, likely contributes. Here we employed RNA-sequencing and proteomic analyses of primary cells and cell lines, differing only in their expression of ZAP-70, to further define how ZAP-70 increases aggressiveness of CLL. We identified that ZAP-70 is required for the constitutive expression of T cell chemokines and the MHC class I molecule CD1c in the absence of an overt BCR signal, both promoting interactions with T cells. In addition, quantitative mass spectrometry of double-cross linked ZAP-70 complexes demonstrated that direct protein-protein interactions between ZAP-70 and cytoskeletal proteins positively regulate cell migration, irrespectively of CCR7 expression. Importantly, these functions of ZAP-70 did not require antigen-stimulation of the BCR. In contrast, we observed that ZAP-70 rapidly forms complexes with ribosomal proteins in BCR-activated cells, while decreasing the expression of ZAP-70 significantly reduced protein biosynthesis, providing evidences that ZAP-70 contributes to translational dysregulation in CLL. In conclusion, ZAP-70 promotes microenvironment-interactions and protein-translation in CLL cells, both likely to improve cellular fitness and to further drive disease progression.

Project description:Several studies demonstrated IgVH mutation status and ZAP-70 expression as the most relevant prognostic markers in CLL, suggesting the separation of two patient subgroups: with good (MTZAP-70-) and poor prognosis (UMZAP-70+). We determined gene expression of B cells in 112 CLL patients divided into three classes: the first with IgVHMT and ZAP-70-, the second with IgVHUM and ZAP-70+, and the third included both IgVHUM ZAP-70- and IgVHMT ZAP-70+. We found LPL, AGPAT2, MBOAT1, CHPT1, AGPAT4, PLD1 genes encoding enzymes involved in lipid (glycerolipid/glycerophospholipid) metabolism overexpressed in UMZAP-70+. In addition, this study demonstrates the role of ARSD, a gene belonging to the sphingolipid metabolism, as a new gene significantly overexpressed in UMZAP-70+ in respect to MTZAP-70-. ARSD protein was found at significantly higher concentrations in UMZAP-70+ compared to MTZAP-70- CLL B cells and B cells from healthy individuals by Western blotting. Statistical analysis identified a strong correlation between ARSD and IgVH mutation status; ARSD protein level was associated with the requirement of therapy for CLL patients and for this purpose it is as good as IgVH mutational status. Our study highlights ARSD as a promising new prognostic factor in CLL and sphingolipid metabolism as a putative new biological mechanism in CLL.

In this study we performed gene expression profiling of B cells on 112 CLL patients divided into three classes based on IgVH mutational status and ZAP-70 protein expression: class one with mutated IgVH and ZAP-70-, class two with unmutated IgVH and ZAP-70+, and class three included CLL patients with unmutated IgVH and ZAP-70-, or mutated IgVH and ZAP-70+, respectively. The decision to divide CLL patients in three categories was due to the clinical feature and the molecular heterogeneity of CLL, in order to elaborate different molecular signature capable of reveal biological mechanisms, and to identify new potential molecular predictors for prognostic assessment or genetic risk. RNA was extracted and quantified for high-density oligonucleotide microarrays Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 GeneChip (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). A first cohort of 62 subjects was analyzed using GeneChip Expression 3' Amplification One-Cycle Target Labeling Kit, while a second cohort of 50 subjects using GeneChip 3'IVT Express Kit, according to manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys protocol (Affymetrix), respectively.

Project description:Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cell survival and growth is fueled by aberrant activation of various pro-survival signaling pathways within tumor niches. Specifically, B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling, toll-like receptor signaling, and supportive cellular interactions drive constitutive activation of NF-κB signaling and transcription of proliferative/pro-survival genes. Directly targeting the NF-κB pathway has been a challenge, however, herein, we investigated SpiD3, a spirocyclic dimer and novel NF-κB pathway inhibitor in preclinical models of CLL. Through cross-linking NF-κB proteins, SpiD3 attenuated NF-κB signaling in CLL cells independent of microenvironmental signals. Our integrated multi-omics and functional analyses revealed BCRNF-κB signaling, endoplasmic reticulum stress, oxidative stress, and activation of the unfolded protein response among the top pathways modulated by SpiD3 treatment. This was accompanied by marked inhibition of global protein synthesis, cumulating in profound anti-tumor properties in CLL cells. SpiD3 also modulated tumor microenvironment interactions shown by decreased chemokine and cytokine gene expression as well as decreased CLL chemotaxis towards CXCL-12 and CXCL-13. Moreover, SpiD3 induced apoptosis of stroma-protected primary CLL cells comparable to the BCR-targeting agent, ibrutinib. SpiD3 strikingly demonstrated selective cytotoxicity towards CLL cells compared to healthy lymphocytes, synergized with ibrutinib, and retained its anti-tumor effects in ibrutinib-resistant CLL cells. Altogether, our findings provide preclinical evidence for SpiD3 as an attractive therapeutic agent for CLL, especially in the context of relapsed/refractory disease.

Project description:Colitis is the common pathological lesion of inflammatory bowel diseases, the major chronic inflammatory diseases of intestinal tracts in humans. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic effects of ginger extract and its component zingerone in mice with 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis. Mice were administered with TNBS and/or various amounts of ginger and zingerone by an intrarectal route. The severity of colitis was evaluated by colonic weight/length ratio, macroscopic lesion, and histological examination. The mechanisms of ginger and zingerone were further elucidated by DNA microarray, ex vivo imaging, and immunohistochemical staining. Our data showed that treatment with ginger extract and zingerone ameliorated TNBS-induced colonic inflammation and injury in a dose-dependent manner. Pathway analysis of ginger- and zingerone-regulated gene expression profiles showed that ginger and zingerone significantly regulated cytokine-related pathways. Network analysis showed that nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were key molecules involved in the expression of ginger- and zingerone-affected genes. Ex vivo imaging and immunohistochemical staining further verified that ginger and zingerone suppressed TNBS-induced NF-κB activation and decreased the NF-κB and IL-1β protein levels in the colon. In conclusion, our data showed that ginger improved the TNBS-induced colitis in mice via modulation of NF-κB activity and IL-1β signaling pathway. Moreover, zingerone might be the active component of ginger responsible for the amelioration of colitis induced by TNBS. A total of 24 mice was randomly divided into four groups of six mice: mock, mice were given with 0.1 ml of 50% ethanol; TNBS, mice were given with 250 mg/kg TNBS in 0.1 ml of 50% ethanol; TNBS/ginger, mice were administered with mixtures containing 250 mg/kg TNBS and various amounts of ginger extract in 0.1 ml of 50% ethanol; TNBS/zingerone, mice were given with mixtures containing 250 mg/kg TNBS and various amounts of zingerone in 0.1 ml of 50% ethanol. Mice were sacrificed seven days later for histochemical staining, RNA extraction, and ex vivo imaging.

Project description:We examined the microRNAs (miRNAs) expressed in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and identified miR-150 as the most abundant, but with leukemia-cell-expression levels that varied among patients. CLL cells that expressed ZAP-70 or that used unmutated IGHV each had a median expression-level of miR-150 that was significantly lower than that of ZAP-70-negative CLL cells or those that used mutated IGHV. In samples stratified for expression of miR-150, CLL cells with low-level miR-150 expressed relatively higher levels of forkhead box P1 (FOXP1) and GRB2-associated binding protein 1 (GAB1), genes with 3’ UTRs having evolutionary-conserved binding sites for miR-150. High-level expression of miR-150 could repress expression of these genes, which encode proteins that may enhance B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling, a putative CLL-growth/survival signal. Also, high-level expression of miR-150 levels was a significant independent predictor of longer treatment-free-survival (TFS) or overall survival (OS), whereas an inverse association was observed for high-level expression of GAB1 or FOXP1 for OS. This study demonstrates that expression of miR-150 can influence the relative expression of GAB1 and FOXP1 and the signaling potential of the B-cell receptor (BCR), thereby possibly accounting for the noted association of expression of miR-150 and disease outcome.
