Project description:This comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) study investigated the effect of BCL6 on clonal evolution in BCR-ABL1-driven acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The frequencies of copy number alterations in BCR-ABL1-transformed BCL6+/+ and BCL6-/- leukemias were determined.
Project description:This comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) study investigated the effect of BCL6 on clonal evolution in BCR-ABL1-driven acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The frequencies of copy number alterations in BCR-ABL1-transformed BCL6+/+ and BCL6-/- leukemias were determined. Three BCR-ABL1-transformed BCL6+/+ and BCL6-/- ALL samples derived from mice were maintained for 4 month in cell culture and were subjected to CGH analysis. As control samples, normal untransformed splenoytes were used.
Project description:To elucidate the mechanism of BCL6-mediated pre-B cell survival signaling, we investigated the gene expression pattern in BCR-ABL1-transformed BCL6+/+ and BCL6-/- B cell precursors. Pharmacological inhibition of BCR-ABL1 was performed with the BCR-ABL1 kinase inhibitor STI571 (Imatinib). BCR-ABL1 transformed B cell precursors of BCL6 wildtype and BCL6 knockout mice were either treated with 10µM STI571 (Imatinib) for 16 hours or cultured in absence of STI571. Three samples for each condition were processed.
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. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) are widely used to treat patients with leukemia driven by BCR-ABL1 and other oncogenic tyrosine kinases. In response to TKI-treatment, BCR-ABL1 ALL cells upregulate BCL6 protein levels by ~90-fold, i.e. to similar levels as in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with BCL6 translocations. In this study, we used genome tiling arrays to identify BCL6 target genes with specific recruitment of BCL6.

In this study, we used genome tiling arrays to identify BCL6 target genes with specific recruitment of BCL6. Three Ph+ ALL cell lines (BV-173, NALM-1 and TOM-1) in duplicate were either treated with 10µM STI571 (Imatinib) for 24 hours or cultured in absence of STI571.

In this study, we analyzed the gene expression changes after treatment with Imatinib or Imatinib + RI-BPI. Three Ph+ ALL cell lines (BV-173, SUP-B15 and TOM-1) were treated in the presence or absence of 10 μM STI571 (Imatinib) or in the presence of both 10 μM STI571 and 20 μM RI-BPI for 24 hours.

Project description:To elucidate the mechanism of Dusp6-mediated pre-B cell survival signaling, we investigated the gene expression pattern in BCR-ABL1-transformed Dusp6+/+ and Dusp6-/- B cell precursors. BCR-ABL1 transformed B cell precursors of Dusp6 wildtype and Dusp6 knockout mice were subjected to RNA isolation
Project description:Copy number and LOH analysis was performed for 304 casesof B-progenitor and T-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia. All caseswere genotyped with Affymetrix 250k Sty and Nsp arrays. 252 cases werealso genotyped with Hind and Xba arrays.
