Project description:We developed a general approach to small molecule library screening called GE-HTS (Gene Expression-Based High Throughput Screening) in which a gene expression signature is used as a surrogate for cellular states and applied it to the identification of compounds inducing the differentiation of acute myeloid leukemia cells. In screening 1,739 compounds, we identified 8 that reliably induced the differentiation signature, and furthermore yielded functional evidence of bona fide differentiation. This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series:; GSE976: Gene Expression-Based High Throughput Screening: APL Treatment with Candidate Compounds; GSE982: Gene Expression-Based High Throughput Screening: HL-60 Cell Treatment with Candidate Compounds; GSE983: Gene Expression-Based High Throughput Screening: Primary Patient AML Blasts, Normal Neutrophils, and Normal Monocytes; GSE985: Gene Expression-Based High Throughput Screening: HL-60 Cells Treated with ATRA and PMA Experiment Overall Design: Refer to individual Series
Project description:We developed a general approach to small molecule library screening called GE-HTS (Gene Expression-Based High Throughput Screening) in which a gene expression signature is used as a surrogate for cellular states and applied it to the identification of compounds inducing the differentiation of acute myeloid leukemia cells. In screening 1,739 compounds, we prioritized 15 candidate compounds (2 were already confirmed in the literature). We next evaluated the 13 remaining compounds. Eight reliably induced the differentiation signature, and furthermore yielded functional evidence of bona fide differentiation. This data set contains HL-60 cells treated in replicates of 3 with the original 13 selected candidates. It also contains 6 untreated, 6 DMSO treated, 3 ATRA treated, 3 PMA treated, and 3 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 treated HL-60 controls. In addition, it contains 3 neutrophil and 3 monocyte samples from distinct normal human donors and 9 primary patient AML samples. This data set was used to evaluate the whole genome effects of the candidate compounds on HL-60 cells.

In screening 1,739 compounds, we identified 8 that reliably induced the differentiation signature, and furthermore yielded functional evidence of bona fide differentiation. This data set contains HL-60 cells treated in a time course, in replicate, with 1 uM all trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and 10 nM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Also included are untreated HL-60 controls. This data set was used to select marker genes that distinguish the undifferentiated from the PMA or ATRA differentiated states.

Project description:Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy intends to only benefit a fraction of cancer patients, and combination immunotherapy with a compound is a promising treatment to overcome this limitation. Here, a tumor immunological phenotype (TIP) gene signature and high throughput sequencing-based high throughput screening (HTS2) were combined to identify combination immunotherapy compounds. We firstly defined a TIP gene signature, which expression pattern distinguishes “cold” tumors from “hot” tumors, and predicts ICB response in cancer patients. Then, after screening thousands of compounds, we identified that aurora kinase inhibitors, including ENMD-2076 and TAK-901, could reprogram the expression pattern of TIP genes from “cold” tumor to “hot” tumor in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. The treatment of aurora kinase inhibitors on TNBC cells dramatically up-regulates expression of Th1 type chemokine genes CXCL10 and CXCL11, which promotes effective T cells infiltrating into tumor microenvironment and significantly improves anti-PD-1 efficacy in inhibiting the tumor growth of TNBC in preclinical models. Mechanistically, these aurora kinase inhibitors are mainly through inhibiting AURKA-STAT3 signaling pathway to stimulate the expression of CXCL10 and CXCL11. Our study established a high throughput strategy to discover candidate compounds for combination immunotherapy, and suggested the therapeutic potential of combining aurora kinase inhibitors with checkpoint blockade immunotherapy for the treatment of TNBC.
Project description:HL-60 is a human promyelocytic leukemia cell line and differentiated HL-60 is an alternative to human primary neutrophils. The transcriptomic profile of undifferentiated HL-60 and dimethyl sulfoxide-differentiated HL-60 were determined at 4 and 24 hours after stimulation with high and low concentrations of Staphylococcus aureus lipoteichoic acids.
Project description:This study produced a microarray-based screening for miRNAs responding to tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate (TPA) (for monocytic differentiation) treatment in various leukemia cell lines. Using the microarray technique, global changes in miRNA expression after treatment of four leukemia cell lines (NB4, HL-60, U937 and K562) with TPA was profiled. This microarray chip contained 924 probes for 802 miRNAs from human, mouse and rat after discarding redundant sequences, and a further 122 predicted miRNA sequences from published data. To reduce individual variability, replicate array analysis used independently treated samples, and a technical replicate was also performed with the same sample.
