Project description:BACKGROUND: BCR-ABL1+ chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by abnormal production of leukemic stem (LSC) and progenitor cells and their spread from the bone marrow into the blood resulting in extramedullary myeloproliferation. So far, little is known about specific markers and functions of LSC in CML. METHODS: We examined the phenotype and function of CD34+/CD38─/Lin─ CML LSC by a multi-parameter screen approach employing antibody-phenotyping, mRNA expression profiling, and functional studies, including LSC repopulation experiments in irradiated NOD-SCID-IL-2Rgamma-/- (NSG) mice, followed by marker-validation using diverse control-cohorts and follow-up samples of CML patients treated with imatinib. RESULTS: Of all LSC markers examined, dipeptidylpeptidase IV (DPPIV=CD26) was identified as specific and functionally relevant surface marker-enzyme on CD34+/CD38─ CML LSC. CD26 was not detected on normal CD34+/CD38─ stem cells or LSC in other hematopoietic malignancies. The percentage of CD26+ CML LSC decreased to undetectable levels during successful treatment with imatinib in all patients (p<0.001). Whereas the sorted CD26─ stem cells obtained from CML patients engrafted irradiated NSG mice with multilineage BCR-ABL1-negative hematopoiesis, CD26+ LSC engrafted NSG mice with BCR-ABL1+ cells. Functionally, CD26 was identified as target-enzyme disrupting the SDF-1alpha-CXCR4-axis by cleaving SDF-1alpha a chemotaxin for CXCR4+ stem cells. Whereas CD26 was found to inhibit SDF-1alpha-induced migration, CD26-targeting gliptins reverted this effect and blocked the mobilization of CML LSC in a stroma co-culture assay. CONCLUSIONS: CD26 is a robust biomarker of LSC and a useful tool for their quantification and isolation in patients with BCR/ABL1+ CML. Moreover, CD26 expression may explain the extramedullary spread of LSC in CML. To define specific mRNA expression patterns and to identify specific LSC markers in CML LSC, gene array analyses were performed. RNA was isolated from sorted CD34+/CD45+/CD38─ CML LSC, CD34+/CD45+/CD38+ CML progenitor cells, CML MNC, sorted CD34+/CD38─ cord blood (CB) SC, CB-derived CD34+/CD38+ progenitor cells, and CB MNC. Total RNA was extracted from sorted cells using RNeasy Micro-Kit (Qiagen) and used (100 ng total RNA) for Gene Chip analyses. Preparation of terminal-labeled cRNA, hybridization to genome-wide human PrimeView GeneChips (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA) and scanning of arrays were carried out according to the manufacturer's protocols (https://www.affymetrix.com). Robust Multichip Average (RMA) signal extraction and normalization were performed according to http://www.bioconductor.org/ as described.18 Differences in mRNA expression levels (from multiple paired samples) were calculated as mRNA ratio of i) CML LSC versus CB SC, ii) CML LSC versus CD34+/CD38+ CML progenitors, and normal cord blood SC versus cord blood progenitors. To calculate differential gene expression between individual sample groups where appropriate, we performed a statistical comparison using the LIMMA package as described previously. Briefly, LIMMA estimates the fold change between predefined sample groups by fitting a linear model and using an empirical Bayes method to moderate the standard errors of the estimated log-fold changes for each probe set.

Project description:In an attempt to identify novel markers and immunologic targets in leukemic stem cells (LSC) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), we screened samples of patients with AML, CML, and controls for expression of cell surface antigens on CD34+/CD38− and CD34+/CD38+ cells by multi-color flow cytometry. In addition, we examined mRNA expression profiles in highly purified CD34+/CD38− and CD34+/CD38+ cells by gene array- and qPCR analyses. Aberrantly expressed markers were identified in all patient cohorts examined.

Project description:We here by prospectively characterizing BM stormal cells from healthy donors and patients with chornic myeloid leukemia (CML) have found that CXCL14 is dysregulated in CML patient bone marrow niche. Further, CXCL14 promotes TKI therapy response to CML LSCs in vitro and in vivo. To further determine the molecular mechanisms of CXCL14 action, we performed RNA sequencing of CML CD34+CD38- cells 6-24h post stimulation with conditioned media (CM) derived from either NIH3-CTRL or NIH3-CXCL14 cells.

Project description:Purpose: We previously demonstrated that immunophenotypically CD34-CD38- TKI resistant LSC/LIC population was clearly heterogeneous. The goal of this study is to explore more about the drug-resistant LSC/LICs Methods: CML patient cells were treated for 7 days with imatinib and live cells were subjected to scRNA-sequencing Results: scRNA-seq reveals heterogeneity in the therapy resistant cells. Distinct expression profiles, yet with an interrelated continuumsuggest the existence of a depply-quiescent persister population within resistant cells. Conclusions: In this study using single cell transcriptomics and single cell metabolomics analyses we identify and characterize a deeply-quiescent/persister CML LSC/LIC population subset of CML patient cells which is highly dependent on FAO for their metabolomic requierements

Project description:Imatinib therapy is first-line treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and its failure to target CML progenitor/stem cells may lead to an increased risk of relapse. We report here that fenretinide, a well-tolerated vitamin A derivative, is capable of eradicating primitive CML progenitor/stem cells and significantly enhances the efficacy of imatinib at physiologically achievable concentrations. As tested by colony forming cell assays, formation of various colonies derived primitive CML CD34+ cells was significantly suppressed by fenretinide, particularly with respect to the formation of colonies derived from erythroid progenitors and more primitive CML progenitor/stem cells. Also, fenretinide significantly enhanced the ability of imatinib to suppress the formation of the colonies. Moreover, fenretinide was able to induce apoptosis in primitive CML CD34+ cells while sparing the normal counterparts. In particular, primitive CML CD34+CD38- cells appeared to be most sensitive to fenretinide induced apoptosis. Through transcriptome analysis and molecular validation, we further showed that fenretinide induced apoptosis in CML CD34+ cells was probably mediated by a series of stress responsive events which were likely triggered by elevated levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species. Accordingly, the combination of fenretinide and imatinib may provide a potential solution for overcoming relapse and resistance in CML. Experiment Overall Design: Transcriptome profiles of CML CD34+ cells with and without fenretinide treatment were analyzed using whole genome expression arrays (Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2.0) in four CML patients (CML32, CML33, CML34 and CML35, see Table 1). To minimize potential data biases, both treated and untreated cell samples were maintained in culture for 48 hours before hybridization.

Project description:Differences in chemo-sensitivity of subpopulations of AML stem cells could have important clinical implications. Using in vitro cytotoxicity, xenograft models and colony forming assays, we compared chemotherapy sensitivity between Lineage (Lin-)CD34-CD38-, Lin-CD34-CD38+, Lin-CD34+CD38- and Lin-CD34+CD38+ populations from 26 primary AMLs (19 paediatric and 7 adult). We identified a common recurring pattern of chemo-response associated with a poor clinical outcome: In each of 16/26 (62%) AMLs, Lin-CD34-CD38- cells were the most chemoresistant of the four subpopulations to daunorubicin in vitro. Cytarabine-resistant colonies formed only from Lin-CD34-CD38- populations following tertiary passages through both NOG mice and methylcellulose in these AMLs The presence of chemo-resistant Lin-CD34-CD38- populations was signficantly associated with reduced relapse-free survival in childhood AML. Consistently, CD34 negativity was significantly associated with an increased risk of relapse in a larger retropsective cohort (n=89). Samples enriched for chemo-resistant Lin-CD34-CD38- LSCs with a stem cell profile and an undifferentiated genotype revealed pathways likely to confer chemo-resistance, These strongly indicated dependence of chemo-resistant Lin-CD34-CD38- LSCs on their niche environment as well as deregulated DNA damage responses, lipid and Notch1 signalling, Our findings have major implications for the risk stratification of childhood AML and could lead to the development of novel therapeutic approaches.
