Antibiotic treatment ameliorates Ten-eleven translocation 2 (TET2) loss-of-function associated hematological malignancies.

ABSTRACT: TET2 is among the most frequently mutated genes in hematological malignancies, as well as in healthy individuals with clonal hematopoiesis. Inflammatory stress is known to promote the expansion of Tet2-deficient hematopoietic stem cells, as well as the initiation of pre-leukemic conditions. Infection is one of the most frequent complications in hematological malignancies and antibiotics are commonly used to suppress infection-induced inflammation, but their application in TET2 mutation-associated cancers remained underexplored. In this study, we discovered that Tet2 depletion led to aberrant expansion of myeloid cells, which was correlated with elevated serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines at the pre-malignant stage. Antibiotics treatment suppressed the growth of Tet2-deficient myeloid and lymphoid tumor cells in vivo. Transcriptomic profiling further revealed significant changes in the expression of genes involved in the TNF-α signaling and other immunomodulatory pathways in antibiotics-treated tumor cells. Pharmacological inhibition of TNF-α signaling partially attenuated Tet2-deficient tumor cell growth in vivo. Therefore, our findings establish the feasibility of targeting pro-inflammatory pathways to curtail TET2 inactivation-associated hematological malignancies.

Project description:BackgroundStroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Neuroinflammation plays a key role in acute brain injury of ischemic stroke. MicroRNA-210 (miR210) is the master hypoxamir and regulates microglial activation and inflammation in a variety of diseases. In this study, we uncovered the mechanism of miR210 in orchestrating ischemic stroke-induced neuroinflammation through repression of TET2 (ten-eleven translocation methylcytosine dioxygenase 2) in the adult mouse brain.MethodsIschemic stroke was induced in adult WT (wild type) or miR210 KO (miR210 deficient) mice by transient intraluminal middle cerebral artery occlusion. Injection of TET2 silencing RNA or miR210 complementary locked nucleic acid oligonucleotides, or miR210 KO mice were used to validate miR210-TET2 axis and its role in ischemic brain injury. Furthermore, the effect of TET2 overexpression on miR210-stimulated proinflammatory cytokines was examined in BV2 microglia. Post assays included magnetic resonance imaging scan for brain infarct size; neurobehavioral tests, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and Western blot for miR210; and TET2 levels, flow cytometry, and ELISA for neuroinflammation in the brain after stroke or microglia in vitro.ResultsmiR210 injection significantly reduced TET2 protein abundance in the brain, while miR210 complementary locked nucleic acid oligonucleotides or miR210 KO preserved TET2 regardless of ischemic brain injury. TET2 knockdown reversed the protective effects of miR210 inhibition or miR210 KO on ischemic stroke-induced brain infarct size and neurobehavioral deficits. Moreover, flow cytometry and ELISA assays showed that TET2 knockdown also significantly dampened the anti-inflammatory effect of miR210 inhibition on microglial activation and IL (interleukin)-6 release after stroke. In addition, overexpression of TET2 in BV2 microglia counteracted miR210-induced increase in cytokines.ConclusionsmiR210 inhibition reduced ischemic stroke-induced neuroinflammatory response via repression of TET2 in the adult mouse brain, suggesting that miR210 is a potential treatment target for acute brain injury after ischemic stroke.
