Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE24381: Inhibition of BCL6-dependent gene expression in Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia GSE24404: Recruitment of BCL6 to target genes in Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia Refer to individual Series
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.
Project description:BCR-ABL positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cell survival is strongly dependent on the IRE1α-XBP1 branch of the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR). In the study at hand, we have focused on exploring the link between BCR-ABL1 and IRE1α to better understand whether a simultaneous pharmacological inhibition of both pathways could represent a beneficial therapeutic strategy in Philadelphia positive (Ph+) ALL. Therefore, the effect on the phosphoproteome of two inhibitors (MKC-8866 and Nilotinib) as well as a combination of both compounds was analysed in this study.

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.
