Project description:To gain insight into how miR-142 deficit drives a BC-like transformation, we performed RNA-seq on bone marrow (BM) Lin-Sca-1+c-Kit+ cells (LSKs) harvested from normal miR-142+/+ (wt) and miR-142−/− (miR-142 KO) mice, as well as from leukemic miR-142+/+ BCR-ABL (CP CML) and miR-142−/− BCR-ABL (BC CML) mice, two weeks after BCR-ABL induction. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of 24 samples of LSK cells from 4 mouse strains (KO vs WT, KO CML vs CML).

Project description:MiR-142 is dynamically expressed and plays a regulatory role in hematopoiesis. Based on the simple observation that miR-142 levels are significantly lower in CD34+CD38- cells from blast crisis (BC) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). CML patients compared with chronic phase (CP) CML patients (p=0.002), we hypothesized that miR-142 deficit plays a role in BC transformation. To test this hypothesis, we generated a miR-142 KO BCR-ABL (i.e., miR-142−/−BCR-ABL) mouse by crossing a miR-142−/− mouse with a miR-142+/+BCR-ABL mouse. While the miR-142+/+BCR-ABL mice developed and died of CP CML, the miR-142−/−BCR-ABL mice developed a BC-like phenotype in the absence of any other acquired gene mutations and died significantly sooner than miR-142+/+BCR-ABL CP controls (p=0.001). Leukemic stem cell (LSC)-enriched Lineage-Sca-1+c-Kit+ cells (LSKs) from diseased miR-142−/−BCR-ABL mice transplanted into congenic recipients, recapitulated the BC features thereby suggesting stable transformation of CP-LSCs into BC-LSCs in the miR-142 KO CML mouse. Single cell (sc) RNA-seq profiling showed that miR-142 deficit changed the cellular landscape of the miR-142−/−BCR-ABL LSKs compared with miR-142+/+BCR-ABL LSKs with expansion of myeloid-primed and loss of lymphoid-primed factions. Bulk RNA-seq analyses along with unbiased metabolomic profiling and functional metabolic assays demonstrated enhanced fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) and oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) in miR-142−/−BCR-ABL LSKs vs miR-142+/+BCR-ABL LSKs. MiR-142 deficit enhanced FAO in miR-142−/−BCR-ABL LSKs by increasing the expression of CPT1A and CPT1B, that controls the cytosol-to-mitochondrial acyl-carnitine transport, a critical step in FAO. MiR-142 deficit also enhanced OxPhos in miR-142−/−BCR-ABL LSKs by increasing mitochondrial fusion and activity. As the homeostasis and activity of LSCs depend on higher levels of these oxidative metabolism processes, we then postulate that miR-142 deficit is a potentially druggable target for BC-LSCs. To this end, we developed a novel CpG-miR-142 mimic oligonucleotide (ODN; i.e., CpG-M-miR-142) that corrected the miR-142 deficit and alone or in combination with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) significantly reduced LSC burden and prolonged survival of miR-142−/−BCR-ABL mice. The results from murine models were validated in BC CD34+CD38- primary blasts and patient-derived xenografts (PDXs). In conclusion, an acquired miR-142 deficit sufficed in transforming CP-LSCs into BC-LSCs, via enhancement of bioenergetic oxidative metabolism in absence of any additional gene mutations, and likely represent a novel therapeutic target in BC CML.

Project description:To assess how the miR-142 deficit affected the BM LSC-enriched LSK landscape, we conducted a single cell RNA-seq analysis of BM miR-142+/+ BCR-ABL (CP CML) and miR-142−/− BCR-ABL (BC CML) LSKs which were harvested from the respective mice, 2 weeks after BCR-ABL induction.

Project description:Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) may transform from a chronic phase (CP) into blast crisis (BC), which is often incurable. Herein, we report that miR-142 deficit acquired by T lymphocytes contributes to BC transformation by promoting immune escape. We observe that T cells of BC patients lack miR-142 and are fewer and exhausted compared with CP patients. Similarly, BC miR-142−/−/BCR/ABL+/+ mouse presents with T lymphopenia compared with the CP miR-142+/+/BCR/ABL+/+ mouse. In the BC mouse, miR-142 deficit impairs thymic differentiation of lymphoid-primed multipotent progenitors (LMPP) into mature T cells and redirects them toward myeloid lineage. The fewer mature T cells in the BC mouse are enriched with exhausted T effectors. MiR-142 deficit, driven by leukemic blasts-secreted inflammatory cytokines (i.e., IL-6), induces T cell hypofunction by preventing the metabolic reprogramming that allows activated T cells to thrive and expand. This ultimately results in an increase in T cell spontaneous apoptosis and BC immune escape. In fact, NSG mice transplanted with BC CML LSKs and miR-142 KO T cells had shorter survival than mice transplanted with BC CML LSKs and miR-142 wild-typewt T cells. Conversely, BC patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mice receiving autologous T cells and synthetic miR-142 lived longer than those receiving autologous T cells and scramble RNA. Combination of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) plus synthetic miR-142 and/or PD-1 antibody induced a prolonged survival compared to TKI alone, suggesting that harnessing the host immune system with synthetic miR-142 and immunocheckpoint inhibitors along with BCR/ABL inhibition may provide novel therapeutic opportunities.

Project description:We observed that T cells from patients with blast crisis (BC) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) lacked miR-142 and were fewer and exhausted compared with those from patients with chronic phase (CP) CML. Accordingly, the BC Mir142−/−BCR/ABL mouse also presented with T lymphopenia compared with the CP Mir142+/+BCR/ABL mouse. The miR-142 deficit impaired thymic differentiation of lymphoid-primed multipotent progenitors (LMPP) into mature T cells and redirected them toward myeloid lineage. The fewer mature T cells that emerged from LMPP differentiation in the BC mouse were enriched with exhausted T effectors. Leukemic blasts-secreted inflammatory cytokines (i.e., IL-6) mediated the miR-142 deficit, which in turn prevented the metabolic reprogramming that allows activated T cells to thrive and expand and promoted expression of the exhaustion marker PD-1. Thus, loss of miR-142 expression ultimately resulted in BC immune escape and disease growth. In fact, immunodeficient mice transplanted with BC CML LSKs and miR-142 KO T cells had shorter survival than those transplanted with BC CML LSKs and miR-142 wild-type T cells. Conversely, BC patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mice receiving autologous T cells and synthetic miR-142 mimic lived longer than those receiving autologous T cells and scramble RNA. Combination of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) plus synthetic miR-142 and/or PD-1 antibody induced a prolonged survival compared to TKI alone, suggesting that harnessing the host immune system with synthetic miR-142 may provide a novel therapeutic approach for BC CML.

Project description:Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a malignant disease of the hematopoietic stem cell, characterized by the expression of the Bcr-Abl oncogene by leukemic cells. In order to analyze the molecular pathways modulated by Bcr-Abl, we have previously generated an inducible model of Bcr-Abl expression in the murine Ba/F3 cell line based on the Tet-OFF system. In the present study, through a microarray approach applied to cells grown with (Bcr-Abl-expression OFF) or without (Bcr-Abl-expression ON) doxycycline, a tetracycline analogue, we analyzed the gene expression variations upon Bcr-Abl expression.

Project description:Using a mouse model of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), here we report that HIF1α plays a crucial role in survival maintenance of leukemia stem cells (LSCs). Deletion of HIF1α impairs the propagation of CML through impairing cell cycle progression and inducing apoptosis of LSCs. Deletion of HIF1α results in elevated expression of p16Ink4a and p19Arf in LSCs, and knockdown of p16Ink4a and p19Arf rescues the defective colony-forming ability of HIF1α-/- LSCs. To further identify the pathways in which Hif1a regulates function of LSCs, we performed a comparative DNA microarray analysis using total RNA isolated from BCR-ABL-expressing wild type LSCs and BCR-ABL-expressing Hif1a-/- LSCs. The result was validated by quantitative real-time PCR analysis of non-BCR-ABL-expressing Lin-Sca-1+c-Kit+ cells, BCR-ABL-expressing wild type LSCs, and BCR-ABL-expressing Hif1a-/- LSCs.
