Transcriptomic analysis of imatinib-resistant K562 cells with knocked down Pleomorphic Adenoma Gene 1 (PLAG1) to identify the targets

ABSTRACT: Genomic profiling of K562 cells resistant to imatinib as well as imatinib resistant CML patients harboured a recurrent chromosomal amplification in 8q11.2-12.1. Gene encoding PLAG1, a transcription factor associated with cancers and chemo resistance, resides on this locus and was found to be amplified in resistant cells. Upon PLAG1 knockdown we observed a decrease in imatinib resistance, and to understand the molecular events underlying PLAG1-mediated imatinib resistance, RNA sequencing was carried out. Imatinib-resistant K562 cells were transfected with lentiviral particles containing shRNA against PLAG1 and lentiviral particles containing pLKO.1-empty vectors. Monoclonal populations were established. Total RNA sequencing was performed. For QC, RNA samples were quantified using the Qubit RNA BR Assay kit (Invitrogen, Cat# Q10211). RNA purity was checked using QIAxpert, and RNA integrity was assessed on TapeStation using High Sensitivity RNA ScreenTape® (Agilent, Cat# 5067-5579). QC passed RNA samples were subjected to the library preparation, and NEB Ultra RNA-Seq Library Prep kit protocol (Cat# E7530L) was used and sequenced on Illumina NovaSeq 6000 instrument. Transcriptomic analysis identified several genes down-regulated upon PLAG1 knockdown which were further investigated.

Project description:Our objective is to decipher a miRNA expression signature associated with Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), with or without Imatinib or Dasatinib and compared to normal blood leukocytes, and to determine potential target genes and signaling pathways affected by these signature miRNAs. Background/Aims: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding regulatory RNAs that control gene expression and play an important role in cancer development and progression. However, little is known about the role of miRNAs in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Our objective is to decipher a miRNA expression signature associated with CML and to determine potential target genes and signaling pathways affected by these signature miRNAs. Results: Using miRNA microarrays we characterized the miRNAs expression profile of K562 cells in reference to healthy blood. We also looked into the expression profile of K562 cells treated with imatinib or dasatinib. We identified a miRNA signature that distinguishes K562 cells from healthy blood that included downregulation of miRNAs such as miR-31, miR-34a, miR-143, miR-145, miR-155, miR-196b and miR-564 and upregulation of miR-128. We also identified a miRNA signature that distinguishes untreated K562 cells from the treated ones that included downregulation of miRNAs such as miR-128 and upregulation of miR-564.

We also identified a miRNA signature that distinguishes untreated K562 cells from the treated ones that included downregulation of miRNAs such as miR-128 and upregulation of miR-564. We next analyzed predicted targets and affected pathways of the deregulated miRNAs. Reassuringly, the analysis identified CML as the main disease associated with these miRNAs. MAPK, TGF-beta and Wnt were the main molecular pathways related with these expression patterns. Utilizing Venn diagrams we found appreciable overlap between the CML-related miRNAs and the MAPK and TGF-beta signaling pathways and focal adhesion-related miRNAs. Conclusions: The miRNAs identified in this study might offer a pivotal role in CML. Nevertheless, while these data point to a central disease, the precise molecular pathway/s targeted by these miRNAs is variable implying a high level of complexity of miRNA target selection and regulation. These deregulated miRNAs highlight new candidate gene targets allowing for a better understanding of the molecular mechanism underlying the development of CML, and propose possible new avenues for therapeutic treatment. MiRNA profiling of CML: With the objective of deciphering a potential miRNA expression signature associated with CML, we analyzed the miRNAs expression profile of K562 in reference to a pool of 3 healthy blood samples using an miRNA-based microarray chip assay. In addition, to search for Bcr-Abl-dependent or Src-dependant miRNA expression patterns, K562 cells were treated or not with imatinib or with dasatinib to inhibit Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase activity or Bcr-Abl and Src tyrosine kinase activity, respectively. In order to validate the microarray data and to ensure that the variability observed among samples was not technical, we carried out Taqman miRNA quantitative real-time PCR analysis (Applied Biosystems, USA) on miRNAs that we find to be most relevant, according to bioinformatics analysis (see below) and published data.
