Transcription profiling by array of quiescent chronic myelogenous leukemia stem cells after treatment with lbh589 and imatinib

ABSTRACT: We investigated the ability of HDAC inhibitors (HDACi) to target CML stem cells. Treatment with HDACi combined with IM effectively induced apoptosis in quiescent CML progenitors resistant to elimination by IM alone, and eliminated CML stem cells capable of engrafting immunodeficient mice. In vivo administration of HDACi with IM markedly diminished LSC in a transgenic mouse model of CML. The interaction of IM and HDACi inhibited genes regulating hematopoietic stem cell maintenance and survival. HDACi treatment represents a novel and effective strategy to target LSC in CML patients receiving tyrosine kinase inhibitors. CML CD34+CD38- cells were selected using flow cytometry sorting and treated with IM, LBH and the combination of IM and LBH or cultured without exposure to drugs (controls) for 24 hours (n=3 each). Total RNA from 5000 cells was extracted using the RNeasy kit (Qiagen), amplified and labeled using GeneChip Two-Cycle Target Labeling and Control Reagents (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). 15 µg cRNA from each sample was hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Arrays. Microarray data analyses were performed using R (version 2.9) with genomic analysis packages from Bioconductor (version 2.4). Expression data were normalized using the robust multiarray average (RMA) algorithm, with background adjustment, quantile normalization and median polish summarization. Probesets with low expression levels or low variability across samples were filtered. For genes with multiple probesets, the gene level expression was set to be the median of the probesets. Linear regression was used to model the gene expression with the consideration of 2x2 factorial design and matched samples. Differentially expressed genes were identified by calculating empirical Bayes moderated t-statistic, and p-values were adjusted by FDR using the “LIMMA” package. Gene Set Enrichment Analyses (GSEA) was performed using GSEA software version 2.04 [http://www.broadinstitute.org/gsea/] to detect enrichment of predetermined gene sets using t-scores and gene sets in C2 (curated gene sets) category from the Molecular Signature Database (MsigDB). Gene sets representing common functional categories were categorized and grouped. We also analyzed enrichment of gene sets with common transcription factor binding sites (586 sets) from MsigDB.

Imatinib mesylate (IM) induces remission in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) patients but does not eliminate leukemia stem cells (LSCs), which remain a potential source of relapse. Here we investigated the ability of HDAC inhibitors (HDACis) to target CML stem cells. Treatment with HDACis combined with IM effectively induced apoptosis in quiescent CML progenitors resistant to elimination by IM alone, and eliminated CML stem cells capable of engrafting immunodeficient mice.

Project description:Genetic abnormalities of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) have been widely studied; however, epigenomic changes related to cholangiocarcinogenesis have been less well characterized. We have profiled the DNA methylomes of 28 primary CCA and six matched adjacent normal tissues using Infinium’s HumanMethylation27 BeadChips with the aim of identifying gene sets aberrantly epigenetically regulated in CCA. Using a linear model for microarray data we identified 1610 differentially methylated autosomal CpG sites with 809 CpG sites (representing 603 genes) being hypermethylated and 801 CpG sites (representing 712 genes) being hypomethylated in CCA versus adjacent normal (false discovery rate ? 0.05). Gene Ontology and Gene Set Enrichment analyses identified gene sets significantly associated with hypermethylation at linked CpG sites in CCA including homeobox genes and target genes of PRC2, EED, SUZ12 and Histone H3 trimethylation at lysine 27. We confirmed frequent hypermethylation at the homeobox genes HOXA9 and HOXD9 by bisulfite pyrosequencing in a larger cohort of CCA (n = 103). Our findings indicate a key role for hypermethylation of multiple CpG sites at genes associated with a stem cell-like phenotype as a common molecular aberration in CCA. These data have implications for CCA carcinogenesis, as well as possible novel treatment options using histone methyltransferase inhibitors. Methods: Thirty-two primary CCA, 6 matched adjacent normal, 5 CCA cell lines and an immortal biliary cell line were analyzed for DNA methylation profiles using the Infinium HumanMethylation27 BeadChip. Differential methylation was statistically analyzed using LIMMA. Specific functional terms and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis were performed to identify specific function of aberrantly methylated genes. Results: We identified 711 and 590 autosomal CpG sites as being hypermethylated and hypomethylated representing 527 and 521 genes, respectively, in CCA compared to adjacent normal (false discovery rate 0.05). A number of gene sets were significantly associated with hypermethylation at linked CpG sites in CCA including homeobox genes and the target genes of PRC2, EED, SUZ12, and H3K27me3, whereas target genes of NOS and OCT4 were hypomethylated at linked CpG sites in tumors. Frequent aberrant DNA methylation at HOXA9 and HOXD9 was confirmed by bisulfite pyrosequencing in a larger cohort of CCA (n = 107). Conclusions: This is the first report of a DNA methylation profile of multiple CpG sites at genes associated with a stem cell-like phenotype as a common molecular aberration in CCA. These data have implications for CCA carcinogenesis, as well as possible novel treatment options using histone methyltransferase inhibitors. Array-based methylation profiling was performed using the Infinium HumanMethylation27 BeadChip in 28 primary cholangiocarcinomas and six matched adjacent normal tissues. The reproducibility of the Infinium HumanMethylation27 BeadChips was evaluated using five technical replicates of the ovarian cancer cell line PEO1. Differential methylation cutoff was estimated from five technical replicates by bootstrap resampling and set at ?? ? 0.15 corresponding to a FDR ? 0.05.
