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

ABSTRACT: 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.

mutated IGHV3-23 CLL

Project description:Expression of stereotyped B cell receptors (BCR), i.e. non-random combinations of immunoglobulin heavy-chain variable (IGHV) genes, complementarity-determining region-3 (HCDR3), and IGV light chains, identifies discrete clusters and represents a peculiar feature of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Expression of IGHV3-23 characterized a CLL subset with peculiar molecular and clinical features.

MicroRNA-150 Contributes to the Proficiency of B-Cell Receptor Signaling in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia by Regulating Expression of GAB1 and FOXP1 Genes

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 3M-bM-^@M-^Y 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. We performed gene expression analysis on isolated leukemia cells from 100 CLL patients using the Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2 platform. Array data was processed by dChip software (http://www.dchip.org). No techinical replicates were performed.

Gene expression study in CLL of B-cell receptor triggering (miRNA study)

Project description:The B-cell receptor (BCR) plays an important role in pathogenesis and progression of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). We investigated the BCR triggering-dependent microRNA modulation by stimulating CLL cells with immobilized anti-IgM. miRome of immobilized anti-IgM stimulated CLL cells (n=16) identified a substantial upregulation of miR-132 in both unmutated (UM) and mutated (M) IGHV subgroups. A parallel gene expression profile and an in-silico analysis to identify miR-132 target genes¸ allowed us to focus on SIRT1, that encodes for a histone deacetylase targeting several proteins including TP53. We defined a reduction of SIRT1 protein levels upon immobilized anti-IgM stimulation (P=0.001), and a concomitant increase in TP53 acetylation (P=0.0072). The TP53 target gene CDKN1A was consistently up-regulated in immobilized anti-IgM stimulated CLL cells. Of note, the miR-132 constitutive expression levels in CLL cases (n=134) were of similar magnitude of those obtained in in vitro immobilized anti-IgM stimulated CLL cells. Additionally, high miR-132 expression levels retained a favorable prognostic impact in M (P=0.005), but not in UM CLL patients (P=0.968). The described miR-132/SIRT1/TP53 axis, sequentially characterized by BCR triggering, miR-132 up-regulation, SIRT1 down-regulation and TP53 acetylation, should be considered in the light of emerging drugs targeting the BCR pathway in CLL. investigated the BCR triggering-dependent gene expression modulation by stimulating CLL cells with immobilized anti-IgM.

DNA methylation profiling of clinically aggressive chronic lymphocytic leukemia cases by Illumina 450k arrays

Project description:Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) stereotyped subsets #6 and #8 include cases expressing unmutated B cell receptor immunoglobulin (BcR IG) (U-CLL). Yet, subset #6 (IGHV1-69/IGKV3-20) is less aggressive compared to subset #8 (IGHV4-39/IGKV1(D)-39) which has the highest risk for Richter’s transformation among all CLL. The underlying reasons for this divergent clinical behavior are not fully elucidated. To gain insight into this issue, here we focused on epigenomic signatures and their links with gene expression, particularly investigating genome-wide DNA methylation profiles in subsets #6 and #8 as well as other U-CLL cases not expressing stereotyped BcR IG using the Illumina 450k methylation arrays. Additionally we analysed the methylation profiles of naive and memory B cell subsets from healthy donors and compared them with those of the CLL cases.
