Project description:Purpose: miRNAs are important factors that are involved in the regulation cancer growth processes through the regulation of different biological processes. The purpose of the study was to investigate the differential expression pattern of miRNAs in IK1-induced B-ALL cells compared to controls. Methods: In this study, we used two human B-ALL cell lines with IZF1 deletions and induced IK1 expression or controls for 24 hours, and then RNA samples were prepared for the analysis of miRNAs profiles using the Genechip miRNA 4.0 arrays. The Genechip miRNA 4.0 array provides a comprehensive coverage that is designed to interrogate all mature miRNA sequences in miRBase Release 20. Result: The miRNAs expression microarray analysis showed that many miRNAs have been expressed differentially between IK1 and controls. These miRNAs might be involved in the different biological and physiological processes related to growth processes. Conclusion: miRNAs might be an active player Ikaros tumor suppression.
Project description:The hematopoietic transcription factor Ikaros (IKZF1) regulates normal B cell development and functions as a tumor suppressor in precursor B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulatory RNAs that through post-transcriptional gene regulation play critical roles in intracellular processes including cell growth in cancer. However, the role of Ikaros in the regulation of miRNA expression in developing B cells is unknown. In this study, we examined the Ikaros-regulated miRNA targets using human IKZF1-mutated Ph+ B-ALL cell lines. Inducible expression of wild-type Ikaros (the Ik1 isoform) caused B-ALL growth arrest and exit from the cell cycle. Global miRNA expression analysis revealed a total of 31 miRNAs regulated by IK1, and ChIP-seq analysis showed that Ikaros bound to several Ik1-responsive miRNA genes. Examination of the prognostic significance of miRNA expression in B-ALL indicate that the IK1-regulated miRNAs hsa-miR-26b, hsa-miR-130b and hsa-miR-4649 are significantly associated with outcome in B-ALL. Our findings establish a potential regulatory circuit between the tumor-suppressor Ikaros and the oncogenic miRNA networks in IKZF1-mutated B-ALL. These results indicate that Ikaros regulates the expression of a subset of miRNAs, of which several may contribute to B-ALL growth.
Project description:To examine Ikaros tumor suppressor mechanisms, we have utilized inducible RNAi to dynamically restore endogenous Ikaros expression in BCR-ABL1+ B-ALL driven by its knockdown (Ikaros knockdown), and compared these tumors to tumors driven by BCR-ABL1 alone (control). Restoration of Ikaros causes rapid regression of tumor cells in vivo, significantly prolonging tumor transplant recipient survival. Using both transgenic and retroviral approaches, we conducted expression analysis of B-ALL by RNA-Seq and have identified a series of Ikaros-regulated genes within established tumor cell in vivo. Comparison of Ikaros-activated and Ikaros-repressed genes with human B-ALL expression data shows a set of conserved Ikaros target genes, some of which are associated with patient outcome (namely, CTNND1, IFITM3 and EMP1).

This dataset includes bulk RNA-seq profiles from human MXP5 and PDX2 cell lines, which were engineered to express doxycycline-inducible wild-type IKAROS (IK1) or an empty vector control. RNA was collected 24 hours post-induction to capture early transcriptional responses to IK1 re-expression. These data are part of a larger multi-omics study integrating RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN, ATAC-seq, and HiChIP to define IKAROS-regulated transcriptional and chromatin networks in IKZF1-deficient Ph⁺ B-ALL.

Project description:Deletion of the Ikaros DNA-binding domain generates dominant-negative isoforms that interfere with Ikaros family activity and correlate with poor prognosis in human precursor B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemias (B-ALL). Here, we show that conditional inactivation of the Ikaros DNA binding domain in early pre-B cells arrests their differentiation at a stage where integrin-dependent niche adhesion augments mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling, proliferation, and self-renewal, and attenuates pre-B cell receptor signaling and differentiation. Transplantation of polyclonal Ikzf1 mutant pre-B cells results in long-latency oligoclonal pre-B-ALL, demonstrating that loss of Ikaros contributes to multistep B-leukemogenesis. These results explain how normal pre-B cells transit from a highly proliferative and stromal-dependent to a stromal-independent phase where differentiation is enabled, providing potential therapeutic strategies for IKZF1 mutant B-ALL. One of the analyses described in this manuscript is the differential gene expression of large preB cells sorted from the bone marrow of WT and IKDN mice. The RNASeq method and Deseq analysis algorithm were employed
