Project description:The hallmark of Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph(+)) leukemia is the BCR/ABL kinase, which is successfully targeted by selective ATP competitors. However, inhibition of BCR/ABL alone is unable to eradicate Ph(+) leukemia. The t(9;22) is a reciprocal translocation which encodes not only for the der22 (Philadelphia chromosome) related BCR/ABL, but also for der9 related ABL/BCR fusion proteins, which can be detected in 65% of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and 100% of patients with Ph+ acute lymphatic leukemia (ALL). ABL/BCRs are oncogenes able to influence the lineage commitment of hematopoietic progenitors. Aim of this study was to further disclose the role of p96(ABL/BCR) for the pathogenesis of Ph(+) ALL. The co-expression of p96(ABL/BCR) enhanced the kinase activity and as a consequence, the transformation potential of p185(BCR/ABL). Targeting p96(ABL/BCR) by RNAi inhibited growth of Ph(+) ALL cell lines and Ph(+) ALL patient-derived long-term cultures (PD-LTCs). Our in vitro and in vivo stem cell studies further revealed a functional hierarchy of p96(ABL/BCR) and p185(BCR/AB)L in hematopoietic stem cells. Co-expression of p96(ABL/BCR) abolished the capacity of p185(BCR/ABL) to induce a CML-like disease and led to the induction of ALL. Taken together our here presented data reveal an important role of p96(ABL/BCR) for the pathogenesis of Ph(+) ALL.

Project description:Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is characterized by the expression of an oncogenic fusion kinase termed BCR-ABL1. Here, we show that interleukin 7 receptor (IL7R) interacts with the chemokine receptor CXCR4 to recruit BCR-ABL1 and JAK kinases in close proximity. Treatment with BCR-ABL1 kinase inhibitors result in elevated expression of IL7R which enable the survival of transformed cells when IL7 was added together with the kinase inhibitors. Importantly, treatment with anti-IL7R antibodies prevents leukemia development in xenotransplantation models using patient-derived Ph+ ALL cells. Our results suggest that the association between IL7R and CXCR4 serves as molecular platform for BCR-ABL1 induced transformation and development of Ph+ ALL. Targeting this platform with anti-IL7R antibody eliminates Ph+ ALL cells including those with resistance to commonly used ABL1 kinase inhibitors. Thus, anti-IL7R antibodies may provide alternative treatment options for ALL in general and may suppress incurable drug-resistant leukemia forms.

Project description:Tyrosine kinase activity is the crucial enzymatic activity driving all known functions of the BCR-ABL protein and is required for protection from apoptosis by BCR-ABL, therefore, targeting this enzyme is an effective approach for therapeutic strategies. Recently, a novel structural entity, imatinib (STI571; Novartis, Basel, Switzerland), a potent and selective inhibitor of the tyrosine kinase activity of BCR-ABL, has shown promise against Ph-positive leukemia in human clinical trials. However, the emergence of imatinib resistance in patients with acute forms of Ph-positive leukemia has highlighted the need for overriding chemotherapy to eradicate this disease. AMN107 and BMS-354825 are clinically active “next-generation” BCR-ABL inhibitors. One potentially powerful approach is to use these compounds in combination with imatinib. The rationale for such approaches is that an inhibitor cocktail may target the widest range of resistant clones and thereby delay the onset of acquired drug resistance. More potent BCR-ABL inhibitors would be to target residual leukemia that persists in patients in whom imatinib induces durable remission but failed to eradicate the disease. From these points, our studies are performed to determine (1) the differences of molecular signaling pathways between BMS-354825 and imatinib (2) the mechanisms by which drug resistance of BMS-354825 and imatinib occur except for point mutation of BCR-ABL kinase domain.

Project description:The Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) encodes the oncogenic BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase, which defines a subset of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with a particularly unfavorable prognosis. In this study, the tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib was used for pharmacological inhibition of BCR-ABL1. Gene expression profiles of Ph+ ALL cell lines were analyzed in response to imatinib treatment.

In this study, the tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib was used for pharmacological inhibition of BCR-ABL1. Gene expression profiles of Ph+ ALL cell lines were analyzed in response to imatinib treatment. Four Ph+ ALL cell lines (BV-173, NALM-1, SUP-B15, and TOM1) were either treated with 10µM STI571 (Imatinib) for 16 hours or cultured in absence of STI571.

Project description:Precursor B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (pre-B ALL) can be subdivided into different categories based on genetic abnormalities. One type of pre-B ALL is characterized by the presence of the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome, the derivative chromosome 22 that is one product of a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 22 and 9. The 22/9 translocation fuses the 5’ part of the BCR gene to the 3’ end of the c-ABL gene. The resulting BCR/ABL fusion encodes a Bcr/Abl protein with deregulated Abl kinase activity. Two major fusion proteins are found in Ph-positive leukemias which differ in molecular weight and the size of the Bcr moiety. The P190 Bcr/Abl protein is common in Ph-positive ALL. Targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as nilotinib are used therapeutically to treat this type of leukemia.

Project description:Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a malignant disease of the hematopoietic stem cell, characterized by the expression of the Bcr-Abl oncogene by leukemic cells. In order to analyze the molecular pathways modulated by Bcr-Abl, we have previously generated an inducible model of Bcr-Abl expression in the murine Ba/F3 cell line based on the Tet-OFF system. In the present study, through a microarray approach applied to cells grown with (Bcr-Abl-expression OFF) or without (Bcr-Abl-expression ON) doxycycline, a tetracycline analogue, we analyzed the gene expression variations upon Bcr-Abl expression.

Project description:The BCR-ABL oncogene, generated by Philadelphia chromosome, is present in about 95% human Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and 20~30% acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). One of BCR-ABL isoforms, P210, is more often detected in CML and ALL patients. Although BCR-ABL kinase inhibitors are effective in controlling the diseases, they do not provide cure due to the development of drug resistance and the insensitivity of leukemia stem cells to these drugs. Identification of new therapeutic targets is critical. To identify potential target against leukemia stem cells, we studied gene expression in leukemia stem cells, which were identified in mice in our lab (Hu Y, Swerdlow S, Duffy TM, Weinmann R, Lee FY, Li S. 2006. Targeting multiple kinase pathways in leukemic progenitors and stem cells is essential for improved treatment of Ph+ leukemia. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 103(45):16870-16875.). The sorted leukemia stem cells that expressed BCR-ABL were used for isolation of RNA, followed by the analysis of gene expression using the DNA microarray. The same lineage of non-BCR-ABL-expressing normal hematopoietic stem cells was used as control. We have identified some interesting genes that are up- or down-regulated by BCR-ABL in these leukemia stem cells. We are currently studying the functions of these identified genes.
