A transcriptomic signature of mouse liver progenitor cells

ABSTRACT: A transcriptomic meta-analysis of over 400 microarrays was undertaken to compare LPC lines against datasets of; muscle and embryonic stem cell lines, embryonic and developed liver (DL), and HCC. Uploaded here, is the array data from seven of the ten LPC lines used. These seven were prepared in our laboratory. The remaining LPC arrays and arrays from other tissues/cells were obtained from the GEO. A total of 405 microarrays were analysed in a meta analysis. This included the 381 publically-sourced arrays (13 of which were LPC arrays) and 24 LPC arrays performed within our lab. This data was mined to obtain signature LPC pathways and novel markers.

Project description:Autotaxin (ATX) has been reported to act as a motility and growth factor in a variety of cancer cells. The ATX protein acts as a secreted lysophospholipase D (lysoPLD) by converting lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) to lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), which signals via G-protein coupled receptors and has important functions in cell migration and proliferation. The current study demonstrates that ATX expression is upregulated and functionally active in FLT3-ITD+ human blasts. ATX expression was also found in normal human CD34+ progenitor cells and selected myeloid and lymphoid subpopulations. Stable transduction of mutant FLT3-ITD increased ATX mRNA in selected cell lines, whereas inhibition of FLT3-ITD signaling by sublethal doses of PKC412 led to a significant down-regulation of ATX. Moreover, results indicate that the Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) is an important mediator between FLT3 signaling and ATX. In the presence of LPC, ATX expression led to a significant increase of proliferation. LPA caused proliferation of all tested cell lines, regardless of ATX expression and induced chemotaxis in human leukemic cell lines and human CD34+ progenitors. LPC increased chemotaxis, in cells with high expression of endogenous and exogenous ATX, by at least 80% demonstrating the autocrine effect of ATX expression. Inhibition of ATX using a small molecule inhibitor induced selective killing of ATX-expressing cell lines and reduced the motile phenotype observed in this cells. Our data suggest that the production of bioactive LPA through ATX is involved in controlling proliferation and migration during hematopoiesis and that deregulation contributes to the pathogenesis of AML. AML Classes: Molecular/cytogenetic group of acute myeloid leukemia, either internal tandem duplication (FLT3) or FLT3 point mutation (D835) or normal karyotype (NK) or t(8;21) transclocation (t821) or monosomy 7 (mono7) or inversion on chromosome 16 (inv16) or high leukocyte count normal karyotype (HL). FAB (French-American-British) Classification system for acute myeloid leukemia is provided for each sample.
