Project description:Preclinical studies have shown that combining the LSD1 inhibitor tranylcypromine (TCP) with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) induces differentiation and impairs survival in non-APL acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We conducted a Phase 1 clinical trial (NCT02273102) to evaluate the safety and preliminary activity of ATRA in combination with TCP in patients with relapsed/refractory AML and myelodysplasia (MDS). Seventeen patients (11 AML and 6 MDS) received ATRA-TCP therapy with ATRA (45 mg/m2 daily in divided doses) and TCP (3 dose levels: 10 mg twice-daily [BID], 20 mg BID, and 30 mg BID). ATRA-TCP had an acceptable safety profile. The maximum tolerated dose of TCP was 20 mg BID. There were 3 DLTs: dizziness (20 mg BID), asthenia (30 mg BID), and nausea/vomiting (30 mg BID). Best evaluable responses included 1 morphologic leukemia-free state (MLFS), 1 marrow complete remission (CR) with hematologic improvement, 2 stable disease with hematologic improvement, and 2 stable disease. In 13 response-evaluable patients, the overall response rate was 30.8% and clinical benefit rate 46.2%. Gene expression profiling of patient blasts showed that responding patients had a more dormant phenotype compared to non-responders at baseline. In human AML cell lines, we showed that treatment with ATRA-TCP increases differentiation capacity and/or cell death, and that ATRA-TCP regulates the in vitro expression of genes that segregate primary patients by their clinical response. These data indicate that LSD1 inhibition sensitizes AML cells to ATRA-induced differentiation and cell death and may restore clinical responsiveness in subsets of MDS and AML patients.
Project description:Purpose: Treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) with the retinoid, all trans retinoic acid (ATRA), along with standard chemotherapy has significantly improved survival compared to chemotherapy alone1. ATRA mediates its benefit in APL by overcoming the transcriptional block mediated by PML-RAR-alpha fusion oncoprotein, thereby, restoring expression of retinoid response genes2. The therapeutic benefits observed with ATRA treatment in APL have not been achieved in the other more common sub-types of acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML)3. This likely reflects the recruitment of histone deacetylase complexes by other recurrent chromosomal translocations in AML cells4. In this experiment, we evaluated if treatment of the AML cell line, OCI/AML-2, with the histone deacetylase inhibitor, valproic acid (VPA), would alter the expression of sub-sets of genes by itself or in conjunction with ATRA that have been shown to be modulated by ATRA in APL2.

Project description:Searching for new strategies of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treatment is of particular interest. Cell lines, e. g. HL-60 and NB4, represent model systems to study molecular features of leukemic cells. The all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) has proven itself to be an effective treatment for one of AML subtypes, i.e., acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). At the same time, ATRA causes granulocytic differentiation of non-APL leukemic cells in vitro. Combination of new therapeutics with ATRA could improve efficiency of treatment. Studying the proteome perturbation in leukemic cells under the ATRA treatment allows to determine potential regulatory molecules that could be affected pharmacologically. Thus, the TMT-based proteomic profiles of HL-60, NB4, and K562 cell lines under the ATRA treatment were obtained at 0, 3, 12, 24, and 72 h after the ATRA treatment.
Project description:All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)-based differentiation therapy has achieved success with the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), a unique subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, other subtypes of AML display resistance to ATRA-based treatment. Here, we demonstrate that a novel natural vibsane-type diterpenoid vibsanine A promotes the differentiation of myeloid leukemia cell lines and primary AML blasts. To reveal how vibsanine A function on promoting myeloid leukemia cell differentiation, we analyzed and compared the gene expression profiles in myeloid leukemia HL-60 cells treated with vibsanine A, PMA, and ATRA. HL-60 cells were treated with vibsanine A, PMA and ATRA for 6 hours or longer up to 24 hours. Gene expression profiling was conducted

Project description:Purpose: In acute myeloid leukemia (AML) without retinoic acid receptor (RAR) rearrangement the effect of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is still poorly understood despite an association of NPM1 mutation and ATRA response. Recently, PRAME (preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma) has been shown to be a dominant repressor of RAR-signaling. Experimental design: Thus, we further investigated ATRA response mechanisms, especially the impact of PRAME expression on ATRA-responsiveness by profiling gene expression in K562 cell lines. Results: Our data revealed a PRAME-expression associated gene pattern to be significantly enriched for genes involved in the retinoic acid metabolic process. In leukemia cell line models we could demonstrate that retinoic acid-regulated cell proliferation and differentiation are impacted by PRAME expression. Conclusions: PRAME seems to impair differentiation and to increase proliferation likely via blocking RAR-signaling, which might be reversed by ATRA.

For the cell line model GEP was performed using Affymetrix Human Genome U133plus2.0 Array technology according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys recommendations as previously reported. siRNA and scrRNA treated as well as ATRA treated K562 cells stemming from independent experiments were profiled. Using the BRB Array Tools software package fluorescence ratios were normalized by applying the RMA algorithm and supervised ClassComparison PathwayClassComparison analyses were performed.
Project description:T47D and MCF7 cell lines were treated with long-term (continuous) palbociclib to induce 4 resistant cell-lines (T47D RB-, T47D CDK6H, MCF7 RB- and MCF7 PacqR). Each cell line (both parental and resistant) were then treated with DMSO (control), capivasertib monotherapy, fulvestrant monotherapy and capivasertib/fulvestrant combination. RNA data is available after each treatment and resistant cell lines additionally have RNA data available after continuous palbociclib treatment.
Project description:Combination of new therapeutics with trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) could improve efficiency of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treatment. Modeling the process of ATRA-induced differentiation based on transcriptomic profile of leukemic cells allows us to identify key molecules that could be affected to enhance the therapeutic effect of ATRA. Moreover, transcriptome analysis reveals the earliest steps of molecular response to inducer treatment. Thus, the transcriptomic profile of leukemic cells under the ATRA treatment at the different time points is considered as input data for further upstream regulator search.
