Project description:Here we measured genome-wide DNA methylation in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia as it provides an opportunity to capture the emergence of altered methylation landscapes as well as track their dynamics over disease progression including after treatment. Specifically, our cohort includes 21 CLL cases with up to six different time points, 20 precursor states of monoclonal B cell lymphocytes (MBL) and 5 matched samples from MBL and CLL states of the same patients. We find that across all CLL cases, a highly aberrant methylation state was present consistently already at the first time point and maintained with remarkable stability over disease progression. To improve our resolution and address heterogeneity we sequenced the methylome of single cells from CD5 positive and negative naïve and memory B cells as well as unsorted B cells and CLL cells. Methylation levels were highly similar within groups pointing to a rather homogeneous population and contrasted by pronounced differences between naïve and memory B cells that do not distinguish CD5 positive and negative subgroups. Our 20 patients with MBL further confirmed the early emergence of this landscape and surprisingly, the chemotherapy did not have a notable impact on the altered methylome despite a strong depletion of white blood cells.

Project description:Gene methylation profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells comparing HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs cells with human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT)- and HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs. hTERT may increase gene methylation in MSCs. Goal was to determine the effects of different transfected genes on global gene methylation in MSCs.

Project description:Several studies have demonstrated an impaired function of the microenvironment in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), contributing to immune evasion of tumor cells and disease progression. However, in CLL-like monoclonal B cell lymphocytosis (MBL) studies are scarce. Herein, a comprehensive characterization of the microenvironment in 59 MBL, 56 early stage CLL and 31 healthy controls was conducted. Gene expression arrays and qRT-PCR were performed on RNA from CD4+ peripheral blood cells; serum cytokines were measured by immunoassays and proteomic studies; and flow cytometry was applied to evaluate peripheral blood cytotoxic, Th1, exhausted and effector CD4+ T cells, besides monocytic CD14, CD4 and HLA-DR expression. MBL and early stage CLL showed a similar upregulation of cytotoxic and Th1-related genes, expanded perforin+ and CXCR3+ CD4+ T cells as well as PD1+ CD4+ T cells compared to controls. However, a strong inflammatory response was only identified in MBL: enhanced phagocytosis, pattern recognition receptors, IL8, HMGB1, TREM1 and acute response signaling pathways, along with increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines (remarkably IL8, IFN? and TNF?). Of note, this inflammatory drive was decreased in early stage CLL: diminished proinflammatory cytokines including IFN?, decreased IL8 signaling pathway and lower monocytic HLA-DR expression compared to MBL. Besides, this inflammation was especially reduced in IGHV mutated CLL, involving a decrease of the proinflammatory HMGB1 signaling pathway. These novel findings reveal a different pathophysiology between MBL and CLL, paving the way for the development of pre-emptive immunotherapies with optimal benefits at MBL and early stage CLL, before intense immune exhaustion.

Project description:Kynureninase is a member of a large family of catalytically diverse but structurally homologous pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) dependent enzymes known as the aspartate aminotransferase superfamily or alpha-family. The Homo sapiens and other eukaryotic constitutive kynureninases preferentially catalyze the hydrolytic cleavage of 3-hydroxy-l-kynurenine to produce 3-hydroxyanthranilate and l-alanine, while l-kynurenine is the substrate of many prokaryotic inducible kynureninases. The human enzyme was cloned with an N-terminal hexahistidine tag, expressed, and purified from a bacterial expression system using Ni metal ion affinity chromatography. Kinetic characterization of the recombinant enzyme reveals classic Michaelis-Menten behavior, with a Km of 28.3 +/- 1.9 microM and a specific activity of 1.75 micromol min-1 mg-1 for 3-hydroxy-dl-kynurenine. Crystals of recombinant kynureninase that diffracted to 2.0 A were obtained, and the atomic structure of the PLP-bound holoenzyme was determined by molecular replacement using the Pseudomonas fluorescens kynureninase structure (PDB entry 1qz9) as the phasing model. A structural superposition with the P. fluorescens kynureninase revealed that these two structures resemble the "open" and "closed" conformations of aspartate aminotransferase. The comparison illustrates the dynamic nature of these proteins' small domains and reveals a role for Arg-434 similar to its role in other AAT alpha-family members. Docking of 3-hydroxy-l-kynurenine into the human kynureninase active site suggests that Asn-333 and His-102 are involved in substrate binding and molecular discrimination between inducible and constitutive kynureninase substrates.
