Project description:Endogenous or iatrogenic antitumor immune responses can improve the course of follicular lymphoma (FL), but may be diminished by immunoregulatory mechanisms in the tumor microenvironment. These may include effects of programmed death (PD)-1, a coinhibitory receptor that impairs T-cell function and is highly expressed on intratumoral T cells. In a Phase II trial, we tested the efficacy of pidilizumab, a humanized anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, with rituximab in patients with rituximab-sensitive FL relapsed after 1-4 prior therapies. Pidilizumab was administered at 3 mg/kg every 4 weeks for 4 infusions, plus 8 optional infusions every 4 weeks for patients with stable disease or better. Starting 2 weeks after the first infusion of pidilizumab, rituximab was given at 375 mg/m2 weekly for 4 weeks. Peripheral blood and tumor biopsies were studied to assess immunological effects of pidilizumab. The combination was well-tolerated, with no grade 3/4 toxicities. Overall (66%) and complete (52%) response rates in 29 evaluable patients were high, with tumor regression in 86% of patients. Median progression-free survival was 18.8 months, and was not reached for the 19 responders. Peripheral blood immunophenotyping showed increased memory CD4+ T cells and activation of NK cells after pidilizumab therapy. Tumor response and progression-free survival were associated with T-cell activation gene signatures in tumor gene expression profiling data, both at baseline and in changes induced by pidilizumab. The efficacy of pidilizumab with rituximab compared favorably to historical retreatment with rituximab monotherapy in patients with relapsed FL. Pidilizumab may benefit patients with pre-existing endogenous antitumor immune responses. This set contains 26 samples in total. 8 pairs of pre- and post-treatment samples, and 10 additional pre-treatment samples.

Project description:mRNA from bone marrow-derived MSCs stably expressing CTGF-specific shRNA (or empty vector control) was analyzed for differential gene expression. Significant differences were found in cell proliferation-related genes, especially genes related to the M phase of the cell cycle, which were down-regulated in CTGF-knockdown-MSCs compared to control MSCs. Bone marrow-derived MSCs were stably transduced with lentivirus expressing CTGF-specific shRNA or an empty vector control. After antibiotic selection, total RNA was amplified and hybridized to Illumina HT12 version 3 human whole-genome arrays (Illumina, San Diego, CA).

Project description:Bone marrow (BM) mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSC) upregulate their NF-κB signaling to protect leukemia cells from chemotherapy-induced apoptosis. To elucidate molecular mechanisms by which leukemia-stroma interactions within the BM microenvironment could confer chemoresistance to leukemia cells, we used genome-wide gene expression profiling (GEP) to examine human normal BM-MSC that had been co-cultured with the pre-B ALL REH cells and then separated by flow cytometry (FACS). GEP results for co-cultured cells of each type were compared to GEP results for cells of the corresponding type cultured alone, and taken through the same FACS purification procedure, to identify changes in gene expression profiles caused by co-culture.

Project description:Peripheral blood was collected into PAXgene tubes from 7 patients with follicular lymphoma, in a phase 2 clinical trial of lenalidomide plus rituximab as initial therapy for advanced-stage indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Blood was collected at baseline and on Day 15 of the second 28-day cycle, for determination of the gene expression profile after globin mRNA reduction. The effect of treatment on gene expression profiles was largely based on the paired t test, using the Significance Analysis of Microarrays method.

Project description:The small molecule ONC201 is toxic in vitro to multiple cell lines and primary tumor samples of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and acute myeloid leukemia, even ones with unfavorable genetic features (notably including TP53 inactivation) or acquired resistance to other agents. Because the mechanism of action in these malignant hematologic cells appeared to differ from that in solid tumors, we performed gene expression profiling (GEP) studies on MCL lines treated with ONC201 and other agents with known mechanisms of action. Treatment of JeKo-1 cells with 5 uM ONC201 showed consistent and progressive increases or decreases over time in two sets of genes: upregulated genes, which implicated an ER stress response and mTOR pathway inhibition, and downregulated genes, which implicated reduced proliferation. These implicated effects of ONC201 were validated by confirmatory experiments. Similar GEP changes were observed in ONC201-naive Z138 cells after 24 hr of ONC201 treatment, but were not seen in Z138 cells made ONC201-resistant by chronic exposure. Finally, the GEP effects of ONC201 in JeKo-1 cells were mimicked by the ER stress inducer tunicamycin, but not by the direct MTOR inhibition rapamycin, further confirming an ER stress response and suggesting that inhibition of the mTOR pathway was by an indirect mechanism. For each experiment, cells from a single stock culture of each cell line used were aliquoted into individual culture plate wells, establishing individual replicates, and drugs were added to start the experiment. Treated replicates were harvested after the times of treatment indicated, by pelleting cells, lysing pellets in TriZOL, and freezing TriZOL until RNA isolation. Untreated replicates, serving as controls, were either harvested at the beginning of the experiment or at later times, as specified below.

Project description:To understand why cancer vaccine-induced T cells often fail to eradicate tumors, we studied immune responses in mice vaccinated with gp100 peptide emulsified in incomplete Freund's adjuvant (IFA), commonly used in clinical cancer vaccine trials. After gp100 peptide/IFA vaccination, tumor-specific CD8+ T cells (adoptively transferred from gp100-specific TCR-transgenic pmel-1 mice) accumulated not in tumors but at the persisting, antigen-rich vaccination site. Once there, primed T cells became dysfunctional and underwent antigen-driven, IFN-γ and FasL-mediated apoptosis, resulting in systemic hyporesponsiveness to subsequent vaccination. Provision of anti-CD40 antibody, TLR7 agonist and interleukin-2 (covax) reduced T cell apoptosis but did not prevent vaccination site sequestration. A non-persisting vaccine formulation shifted T cell localization towards tumors, inducing superior anti-tumor activity. Short-lived formulation also reduced systemic T cell dysfunction and promoted memory formation, as shown by gene expression profiling and other measures. Persisting peptide/IFA vaccine depots, currently used to vaccinate cancer patients, can induce specific T cell sequestration at vaccination sites followed by dysfunction and deletion; short-lived depot formulations may overcome these limitations and result in greater therapeutic efficacy of peptide-based cancer vaccines. To study the fate of melanoma-specific CD8+ T cells after peptide vaccination, we tracked T cell receptor-transgenic pmel-1 T cells in mice vaccinated with heteroclitic gp100_25-33 peptide emulsified in IFA. Splenic pmel-1 CD8+ T cells were purified at 6 and 21 days after vaccination with either gp100/IFA/covax or gp100/saline/covax, and then their total RNA was extracted and used for comparison by gene expression profiling.

Project description:Proteasome inhibitors are important chemotherapeutics in the treatment of multiple myeloma, but they are currently used empirically as no markers of sensitivity have been validated. We have identified expression of tight junction protein (TJP) 1 as being associated with sensitivity of plasma cells in vitro and in vivo to proteasome inhibitors. TJP1 suppressed expression of genes in the major histocompatibility class II region, including two catalytically active immunoproteasome subunits, thereby decreasing proteasome activity, a critical determinant of proteasome inhibitor sensitivity. This occurred through suppression by TJP1 of signaling through the epidermal growth factor receptor/Janus kinase 1/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 pathway. In the clinic, high TJP1 expression in myeloma patients was associated with a significantly higher likelihood of responding to bortezomib, and with a longer time-to-progression after treatment. Taken together, these data support the use of TJP1 as a biomarker of sensitivity and resistance to proteasome inhibitors. To further elucidate mechanisms of bortezomib resistance, we developed human-derived multiple myeloma cell lines with a 4-fold or greater resistance to bortezomib. Then total RNA for bortezomib resistant (BR) and wild type (WT) was extracted and used for comparison by gene expression profiling.

Project description:Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is exceedingly severe in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and further aggravated by peritoneal dialysis (PD), exposing the patients to excessive amounts of intraperitoneal glucose. Children are devoid of pre-existing CVD and give insight into specific uremia and PD induced pathomechanisms. Fat surrounded omental arterioles beyond PD fluid penetration level were microdissected from uremic children at time of first PD catheter insertion (n=8), children on PD (n=5), and age and gender matched non-uremic children as controls (n=6). Adjacent sections of 4 arterioles per patient were used for transcriptomic analyses.

Project description:The human olfactory epithelium represents a readily accessible source of adult neural cell types which can be propagated in vitro. We have used this feature to establish olfactory neurosphere-derived (hONS) cells lines from patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) and healthy controls. We interrogated several metabolic activities of hONS cells from PD patients and detected significantly decreased levels of reduced glutathione and MTS [3- (4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium, inner salt] metabolism. Both were decreased to approximately 80% of control donor hONS cell levels. These decreases did not correlate with any other known parameter, such as donor age or gender nor with the number of passages in vitro. Therefore we conclude that the differences are either symptomatic of PD or reflect an underlying predisposition for PD. Transcriptomic analysis identified the xenobiotic and anti-oxidant pathways, mediated by the aryl hydrocarbon receptor and NRF2, respectively, as significantly dysregulated in PD hONS cells. We show here that activation of the NRF2 pathway, by ectopic L-sulforaphane treatment, increased total glutathione and MTS metabolism levels to control-donor hONS cell levels in 12 of 14 hONS cell lines established from 14 individual donors with idiopathic PD. The importance of our results is three-fold. Firstly, they corroborated data obtained from in vivo and other in vitro cell models but uniquely on varied human genetic backgrounds. Secondly, they demonstrate that cells from PD patients are responsive to NRF2 pathway activation. Finally, they suggest that the dysregulation of the NRF2 pathway is not merely symptomatic of PD but may be a contributing factor.
