Genetic characterization and therapeutic targeting of MYC rearranged T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

ABSTRACT: T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), an aggressive hematological tumor that arises from T-cell precursor cells, is often characterized by T cell receptor (TCR) translocations that drive aberrant activation of specific proto-oncogenes. Here, we performed a detailed molecular genetic characterization of a rare but aggressive genetic subtype of human T-ALL, ie. patients that present with a t(8;14)(q24;q11) translocation, in which high MYC levels are driven by enhancer elements of the TCR a/d locus (TCRAD-MYC). Notably, analysis of an extensive series of primary leukemia samples confirmed that TCRAD-MYC translocation positive T-ALLs represent a NOTCH1 independent subtype of T-cell leukemia characterized by aberrant activation of the TAL1 and/or LMO2 transcription factor oncogenes and frequent activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. From a therapeutic perspective, in vivo drug treatment experiments using primary patient derived xenografts revealed that TCRAD-MYC positive T-ALLs are sensitive to BET bromodomain inhibition, providing a rationale to develop BRD4 inhibitors as an adjuvant therapy for this rare, but genetically well-defined, high-risk subtype of human leukemia.

The ADAPTA Study: ADjuvant chemotherAPy After Curative Intent resecTion of Ampullary Cancer.

Project description:Ampullary adenocarcinoma (AAC) is a rare gastrointestinal cancer with varying survival rates, particularly the aggressive pancreatobiliary (PB) subtype. Adjuvant therapy benefits only PB and mixed subtype patients, while prospective studies are required for validation. A study proposes tailored adjuvant treatments (CAPOX for intestinal subtype, FOLFIRINOX for PB and mixed subtypes) based on histopathology to enhance survival, also exploring molecular sub-studies for deeper insights.

Genotyping of human Infant ALL samples to detect MLL-cooperating aberrations

Project description:In this study we explored the genotype of Infant ALL to detect MLL-cooperating aberrations, hidden to conventional techniques. In order to limit further heterogeneity, we focused on patients carrying the t(4;11) translocation, the most frequent genetic abnormality in Infant ALL. Final aim was to get new insights into the leukemia pathogenesis of this rare and aggressive disease, as well as providing the basis for discovering new genes for targeted therapy.

Oncogene Regulated Release of Extracellular Vesicles

Project description:Oncogenes can alter metabolism by changing the balance between anabolic and catabolic processes. However, how oncogenes regulate tumor cell biomass remains poorly understood. Using isogenic MCF10A cells transformed with nine different oncogenes, we show that specific oncogenes reduce the biomass of cancer cells by promoting EV release. While MYC and AURKB elicited the highest number of EVs, each oncogene selectively altered the protein composition of released EVs. Likewise, oncogenes alter secreted miRNAs. MYC overexpressing cells require ceramide, while AURKB require ESCRT to release high levels of EVs. We identify an inverse relationship between MYC upregulation and activation of the RAS/MEK/ERK signaling pathway for regulating EV release in some tumor cells. Finally, lysosome genes and activity are downregulated in the context of MYC and AURKB, suggesting that cellular contents instead of being degraded, were released via EVs. Thus, oncogene mediated biomass regulation via differential EV release is a new metabolic phenotype.

Project description:T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma T-LBL is a rare aggressive neoplasm of precursor T cells whose pathogenesis is not fully elucidated and it is closely related to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), the most common subtype of cancer in children, although recent studies suggest biological differences between the two entities.

RNA sequencing of ETV6-NCOA2 expression in CD34 positive cord blood cells

Project description:Mixed-phenotype acute leukemia is a rare subtype of leukemia in which both myeloid and lymphoid markers are co-expressed on the same malignant cells. Their pathogenesis is largely unknown, and their treatment is challenging. We have previously discovered the specific association between recurrent t(8;12)(q13;p13) chromosomal translocation, creating ETV6-NCOA2 fusion, with T/Myeloid leukemias. Here we report that the ETV6-NCOA2 initiates T/Myeloid leukemia in preclinical models and examine the expression profile induced by ETV6-NCOA2 in CD34+ cord blood progenitors in-vitro.

Histone modification profiling of T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia through chromatin immunoprecipitation and sequencing

Project description:T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL) is a rare disease with rapid clinical course. Whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing have identified structural alterations in T-PLL, including inversion, translocation and copy number variation. Epigenetic alterations are the hallmark of many cancers. However, genome-wide epigenomic profiles have not been reported in T-PLL. In this study, we generated genome-wide maps of regulatory regions in both T-PLL patients and healthy individuals using H3K4me3 and H3K27ac ChIP-seq. We revealed a global alteration of both promoter and enhancer landscape in T-PLL, which supported the role of epigenetic regulation in transcriptional dysregulation of oncogenes and genes involved in DNA damage response and T-cell activation.

Gene expression signature of MYB-GATA overexpression plus GATA1 down regulation in undifferentiated or differentiated UT7 cells

Project description:Acute basophilic leukemia is a rare subtype of acute myeloblastic leukemia. We recently described a recurrent t(X;6)(p11;q23) translocation occurring in male infants with acute basophilic leukemia, generating a MYB-GATA1 fusion gene. To better understand the role of MYB-GATA1 in the leukemogenesis of acute basophilic leukemias, we expressed this chimeric transcription factor in the UT-7 cell line under normal or differentiating conditions. A gene expression analysis revealed 9 genes deregulated by both MYB-GATA1 and the basophilic differentiation. Three of these genes (CCL23, IL1RL1 and NTRK1) were also increased by MYB-GATA1 in CD34-positive cells, as indicated by quantitative RT-PCR.

Defective K-Ras Oncoproteins Initiate Cancer In Vivo and Evolve to Overcome Impaired Effector Binding

Project description:The oncogenic proteins expressed in human cancer cells are exceedingly difficult targets for drug discovery due to intrinsic properties of the Ras GTPase switch. As a result, recent efforts have largely focused on inhibiting Ras-regulated kinase effector cascades, particularly the Raf/MEK/ERK and PI3 kinase/Akt/mTOR pathways. We constructed murine stem cell leukemia virus (MSCV) vectors encoding oncogenic K-RasD12 with additional “second site” amino acid substitutions that that impair PI3 kinase/Akt or Raf/MEK/ERK activation and performed bone marrow transduction/transplantation experiments in mice. In spite of attenuated signaling properties, defective K-Ras oncoproteins induced aggressive clonal T lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). These leukemias exhibited a high frequency of somatic Notch1 mutations, which is also true of human T-ALL. Multiple independent T-ALLs restored full oncogenic Ras activity by acquiring “third site” mutations within the viral KrasD12 transgenes. Other leukemias with undetectable PTEN and elevated phosphoryated Akt levels showed a similar gene expression profile to human early T progenitor (ETP) T-ALL. Expressing oncoproteins that are defective for specific functions is a general strategy for assessing requirements for tumor maintenance and uncovering potential mechanisms of drug resistance in vivo. In addition, our observation that defective Kras oncogenes regain potent cancer initiating activity strongly supports simultaneously targeting distinct components of Ras signaling networks in the substantial fraction of cancers with RAS mutations. WT Balb/c mice were lethally irradiated and transplanted with WT Balb/c bone marrow cells transduced with MSCV-IRES-Kras mutant-GFP vectors. Mice developed T-cell lymphoproliferative disease.
