Induction of the IL-9 gene by HTLV-I Tax stimulates the spontaneous proliferation of primary adult T-cell leukemia cells

ABSTRACT: The mechanism whereby IL-9 stimulated monocytes, promote proliferation of co-cultured ATL cells remains undefined. To obtain preliminary clues concerning this contribution, transcription profiles were obtained between monocytes derived from ATL patients and those derived from healthy donors as assessed by cDNA microarray. Keywords: disease state design The experiment included 3 biological replicate ATL samples and 3 biological replicate normal samples. The Stratagene Universal Human RNA Reference sample was used as a control.

The etiologic agent of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) is human T cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I). The HTLV-I protein Tax alters gene expression, including those of cytokines and their receptors, which plays an important role in early stages of ATL. Here we demonstrate that expression of interleukin-9 (IL-9) is activated by Tax via an NF-kappaB motif in its proximal promoter, whereas IL-9 receptor-alpha (IL-9Ralpha) expression is not induced by Tax. However, supporting a role for IL-9/IL-9Ra ...[more]

Project description:Hepatocarcinogenesis is a multi-stage process in which precursor lesions progress into early hepatocellular carcinomas (eHCC) by sequential accumulation of multiple genetic and epigenetic alterations. To decode the molecular events during early stages of liver carcinogenesis, we performed gene expression profiling on cirrhotic (regenerative) and dysplastic nodules (DN) as well as eHCC. Although considerable heterogeneity was observed at the regenerative and dysplastic stages, clear differences were detected between DN and eHCC which included 460 differentially expressed genes. Functional analysis of the significant gene set identified the MYC oncogene as a plausible driver gene for malignant conversion of the dysplastic nodules. In addition, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) revealed a remarkable enrichment of MYC up-regulated gene set in eHCC versus dysplasia. Presence of the MYC signature significantly correlated with increased expression of CSN5 as well as with the higher overall transcription rate of genes located in the 8q chromosome region. Furthermore, a classifier constructed from MYC target genes could robustly discriminate eHCC from high- and low-grade dysplastic nodules. In conclusion, our study identified unique expression patterns associated with the transition of high-grade dysplastic nodules to early HCC and demonstrated that activation of the MYC transcription signature is critical for the malignant conversion of pre-neoplastic liver lesions. Samples from forty-nine nodular liver lesions including 24 regenerative (cirrhotic) nodules (CN), 3 low-grade (LGDN), 12 high-grade dysplastic nodules (HGDN) and 10 early hepatocellular carcinomas (Early HCC) were used. The Human Operon V2 oligonucleotide library containing 22K features representing expressed sequences was printed to glass arrays in the Advanced Technology Center (National Cancer Institute, Gaithersburg, MD). The aRNA probes were fragmented and hybridized to the microarray slides following the standard procedures. All samples were hybridized against a common amplified reference RNA pooled from normal liver samples. Experimental duplicates were prepared following a reverse-flour design.

Project description:We have compared the response to TGFbeta1 in normal and v-rasHa transduced primary mouse keratinocytes using NCI cDNA microarrays. This analysis reveals that Ha-ras alters global TGFbeta1 mediated gene expression in a gene specific manner. The expression pattern of TGFbeta1 immediate early response genes and down regulation of cell cycle control genes is not altered by Ha-ras but the induction of most extracellular matrix genes is blocked. Using Smad3 null keratinocytes, we find that the majority of TGFbeta1 responsive genes in primary keratinocytes are Smad3 dependent, but patterns of transcriptional responses suggest that the ability of Ha-ras to block TGFbeta1 mediated gene expression is not dependent on Smad3. However, the combination of oncogenic ras and loss of Smad3 prevents the TGFbeta1 dependent suppression of genes associated with cell cycle progression and apoptosis observed with either genotype alone. In addition several extracellular matrix genes are super-repressed by TGFbeta1 in the Ha-ras Smad3 null keratinocytes. These data provide a genomic framework for understanding how disruptions of TGFbeta signaling and oncogenic ras cooperate to promote premalignant progression of primary keratinocytes. Keywords: time series design RNA from Balb/c primary and ras keratinocytes treated for 1, 6, 24, and 48 hours with TGFbeta1 at 1ng/ml was compared to RNA from the corresponding untreated controls. For each timepoint sample from primary and ras cells, multiple arrays (including dye swaps) were analyzed. There are 6, 7, 6, and 5 arrays analyzed for RNA from primary keratinocytes treated for 1, 6, 24, and 48 hours as compared to RNA from untreated primary cells, respectively. There are 6, 8, 7, and 5 arrays analyzed for RNA from ras keratinocytes treated for 1, 6, 24, and 48 hours as compared to RNA from untreated ras cells, respectively. There are 50 arrays analyzed for the Balb/c time-course dataset. RNA from Smad3 WT and KO primary and ras keratinocytes treated 48 hours with TGFbeta1 were compared to RNA from its untreated corresponding controls. There are 6 arrays analyzed for the Smad3 WT/KO data set. There are 56 arrays in this series.
