Abstract
B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) is known to have substantial clinical heterogeneity. There is no cure, but treatments allow for disease management. However, the wide range of clinical courses experienced by B-CLL patients makes prognosis and hence treatment a significant challenge. In an attempt to study disease progression across different patients via a unified yet flexible approach, we present a mathematical model of B-CLL with immune response, that can capture both rapid and slow disease progression. This model includes four different cell populations in the peripheral blood of humans: B-CLL cells, NK cells, cytotoxic T cells and helper T cells. We analyze existing data in the medical literature, determine ranges of values for parameters of the model, and compare our model outcomes to clinical patient data. The goal of this work is to provide a tool that may shed light on factors affecting the course of disease progression in patients. This modeling tool can serve as a foundation upon which future treatments can be based.

Project description:LYN kinase is a tyrosine kinase, that regulates cellular homeostasis in a context-specific manner. Our group could show, that its expression in the leukemic microenvironment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia contributes to disease progression (Nguyen PH et al.; Cancer Cell; 2016). To analyze the effect of LYN kinase on the leukemia supportive phenotype of the bone marrow stromal cell line HS-5, we generated single cell clones of LYN deficient stroma cells. These cells were analyzed in a Multi-Omic approach, including ARNA-Seq of stromal cells after 72h of coculture with primary human chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) samples.
