Project description:We previously demonstrated that Alox5 deficiency impairs the function of LSCs and prevents the initiation of BCR-ABL-induced CML. To identify the pathways in which Alox5 gene regulates function of LSCs, we performed a comparative DNA microarray analysis using total RNA isolated from non-BCR-ABL-expressing Lin-Sca-1+c-Kit+, BCR-ABL-expressing wild type LSCs and BCR-ABL-expressing Alox5-/- LSCs. The result was validated by quantitative real-time PCR analysis of non-BCR-ABL-expressing Lin-Sca-1+c-Kit+, BCR-ABL-expressing wild type LSCs and BCR-ABL-expressing Alox5-/- LSCs. We have shown that Alox5 is a critical regulator of leukemia stem cells (LSCs) in a BCR-ABL-induced chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) mouse model, and we hypothesize that the Alox5 pathway represents a major molecular network that regulates LSC function. Therefore, we sought to further dissect this pathway by comparing the gene expression profiles of wild type and Alox5-/- LSCs derived from our mouse model for BCR-ABL-induced CML. DNA microarray analysis revealed a small group of candidate genes that exhibited changes in the levels of transcription in the absence of Alox5 expression. In particular, we noted that the expression of the Msr1 gene was up-regulated in Alox5-/- LSCs, suggesting that Msr1 might suppress the proliferation of LSCs. Using our CML mouse model, we show that Msr1 is down-regulated by BCR-ABL and this down-regulation is partially restored by Alox5 deletion, and that Msr1 deletion causes acceleration of CML development. Moreover, Msr1 deletion markedly increases LSC function through its effects on cell cycle progression and apoptosis. We also show that Msr1 affects CML development by regulating the PI3K-AKT pathway and ?-Catenin. Together, these results demonstrate that Msr1 suppresses LSCs and CML development. The enhancement of Msr1 function may be of significance in the development of novel therapeutic strategies targeting CML. To identify genes that are regulated by BCR-ABL in LSCs and LSCs without Alox5 gene, we compared the gene profile between wild type(WT) LSCs or Alox5-/- LSCs.

Project description:Using BCR-ABL-induced chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) as a disease model for leukemia stem cells (LSCs), we showed that BCR-ABL down-regulates the B lymphoid kinase (Blk) gene in leukemia stem cells in CML mice and that Blk functions as a tumor suppressor in LSCs and suppresses LSC function. Inhibition of this Blk pathway accelerates CML development, whereas increased activity of the Blk pathway delays CML development. To identify the pathways in which Blk regulates function of LSCs, we performed a comparative DNA microarray analysis using total RNA isolated from non-BCR-ABL-expressing Lin-Sca-1+c-Kit+, BCR-ABL- and BCR-ABL-Blk expressing LSCs. This analysis revealed a large group of candidate genes that exhibited changes in the levels of transcription in the Blk expressing LSCs, and uncovered the molecular mechanisms by which Blk suppresses LSCs and CML development. Bone marrow cells were transduced with GFP, BCR-ABL-GFP or BCR-ABL-Blk-GFP, followed by transplantation into recipient mice. Fourteen days after transplantation, bone marrow cells were isolated and LSCs were sorted by FACS for isolation of total RNA for DNA microarray analysis.

Project description:Using a mouse model of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), here we report that HIF1M-NM-1 plays a crucial role in survival maintenance of leukemia stem cells (LSCs). Deletion of HIF1M-NM-1 impairs the propagation of CML through impairing cell cycle progression and inducing apoptosis of LSCs. Deletion of HIF1M-NM-1 results in elevated expression of p16Ink4a and p19Arf in LSCs, and knockdown of p16Ink4a and p19Arf rescues the defective colony-forming ability of HIF1M-NM-1-/- LSCs. To further identify the pathways in which Hif1a regulates function of LSCs, we performed a comparative DNA microarray analysis using total RNA isolated from BCR-ABL-expressing wild type LSCs and BCR-ABL-expressing Hif1a-/- LSCs. The result was validated by quantitative real-time PCR analysis of non-BCR-ABL-expressing Lin-Sca-1+c-Kit+ cells, BCR-ABL-expressing wild type LSCs, and BCR-ABL-expressing Hif1a-/- LSCs. To identify genes that are regulated by BCR-ABL in LSCs and LSCs without the Hif1a gene, we compared the gene profile between wild type (WT) LSCs and Hif1a-/- LSCs.

Project description:MiR-142 is dynamically expressed and plays a regulatory role in hematopoiesis. Based on the simple observation that miR-142 levels are significantly lower in CD34+CD38- cells from blast crisis (BC) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). CML patients compared with chronic phase (CP) CML patients (p=0.002), we hypothesized that miR-142 deficit plays a role in BC transformation. To test this hypothesis, we generated a miR-142 KO BCR-ABL (i.e., miR-142−/−BCR-ABL) mouse by crossing a miR-142−/− mouse with a miR-142+/+BCR-ABL mouse. While the miR-142+/+BCR-ABL mice developed and died of CP CML, the miR-142−/−BCR-ABL mice developed a BC-like phenotype in the absence of any other acquired gene mutations and died significantly sooner than miR-142+/+BCR-ABL CP controls (p=0.001). Leukemic stem cell (LSC)-enriched Lineage-Sca-1+c-Kit+ cells (LSKs) from diseased miR-142−/−BCR-ABL mice transplanted into congenic recipients, recapitulated the BC features thereby suggesting stable transformation of CP-LSCs into BC-LSCs in the miR-142 KO CML mouse. Single cell (sc) RNA-seq profiling showed that miR-142 deficit changed the cellular landscape of the miR-142−/−BCR-ABL LSKs compared with miR-142+/+BCR-ABL LSKs with expansion of myeloid-primed and loss of lymphoid-primed factions. Bulk RNA-seq analyses along with unbiased metabolomic profiling and functional metabolic assays demonstrated enhanced fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) and oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) in miR-142−/−BCR-ABL LSKs vs miR-142+/+BCR-ABL LSKs. MiR-142 deficit enhanced FAO in miR-142−/−BCR-ABL LSKs by increasing the expression of CPT1A and CPT1B, that controls the cytosol-to-mitochondrial acyl-carnitine transport, a critical step in FAO. MiR-142 deficit also enhanced OxPhos in miR-142−/−BCR-ABL LSKs by increasing mitochondrial fusion and activity. As the homeostasis and activity of LSCs depend on higher levels of these oxidative metabolism processes, we then postulate that miR-142 deficit is a potentially druggable target for BC-LSCs. To this end, we developed a novel CpG-miR-142 mimic oligonucleotide (ODN; i.e., CpG-M-miR-142) that corrected the miR-142 deficit and alone or in combination with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) significantly reduced LSC burden and prolonged survival of miR-142−/−BCR-ABL mice. The results from murine models were validated in BC CD34+CD38- primary blasts and patient-derived xenografts (PDXs). In conclusion, an acquired miR-142 deficit sufficed in transforming CP-LSCs into BC-LSCs, via enhancement of bioenergetic oxidative metabolism in absence of any additional gene mutations, and likely represent a novel therapeutic target in BC CML.

Project description:Using a mouse model of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), here we report that HIF1α plays a crucial role in survival maintenance of leukemia stem cells (LSCs). Deletion of HIF1α impairs the propagation of CML through impairing cell cycle progression and inducing apoptosis of LSCs. Deletion of HIF1α results in elevated expression of p16Ink4a and p19Arf in LSCs, and knockdown of p16Ink4a and p19Arf rescues the defective colony-forming ability of HIF1α-/- LSCs. To further identify the pathways in which Hif1a regulates function of LSCs, we performed a comparative DNA microarray analysis using total RNA isolated from BCR-ABL-expressing wild type LSCs and BCR-ABL-expressing Hif1a-/- LSCs. The result was validated by quantitative real-time PCR analysis of non-BCR-ABL-expressing Lin-Sca-1+c-Kit+ cells, BCR-ABL-expressing wild type LSCs, and BCR-ABL-expressing Hif1a-/- LSCs.

Project description:Aberrant long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) expression has been described in many human malignancies, including leukemia. Philadelphia-positive (Ph+) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a stem cell disease induced by Bcr-Abl hybrid gene. Here we attempt to identify lncRNAs associated with CML by analyzing lncRNA expression profiles in K562 cells when Bcr-Abl gene silenced. LncRNA microarray analysis revealed a group of lncRNAs that exhibit Bcr-Abl-dependent expression. In this study, we focused on lncRNA-X that was downregulated by Bcr-Abl, suggesting that lncRNA-X might have a function of tumor suppression. We showed that lncRNA-X over-expression delays Bcr-Abl-induced tumorigenesis in vivo, maybe through its effect on cell survival by modulating STAT5-dependent expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-XL protein. We also demonstrated that lncRNA-X may affect tumor formation behavior of Bcr-Abl-transformed cells by regulating signaling pathways associated with leukemia stem cells of CML. Together, these results suggest that lncRNA-X suppresses Bcr-Abl-induced tumorigenesis, and the tumor suppressor function of lncRNA-X may be of significance for exploring novel therapeutic strategies for treating CML. This microarray was performed to identify lncRNAs associated with Bcr-Abl-induced chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).

Project description:Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder derived from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that harbor Philadelphia chromosome (Ph chromosome). Leukemia stem cells (LSCs) in CML are insensitive to TKIs treatment, and are responsible for disease relapse. However, the molecular mechanisms for LSCs survival remains elusive. Here we show that YBX1 plays an important role in regulating survival of CML LSCs. We find that YBX1 expression is significantly increased in CML cells. Using CML patient-derived cell lines and a BCR-ABL-induced CML mouse model, we confirm that YBX1 is required for survival maintenance of LSCs. Deletion of YBX1 impairs the propagation of CML through impairing cell cycle and inducing apoptosis of LSCs. Mechanistically, we find that YBX1 regulates expression of apoptosis-related genes, and YBX1 binds MYC and BCL2 transcripts. YBX1 loss decreases expression of MYC and BCL2 by accelerating their mRNA decay. In addition, restoration of MYC and BCL2 efficiently rescue the defects of YBX1-deficient CML cells. Overall, our findings reveal a critical role of YBX1 in maintaining survival of CML LSCs, which may provide a rationale for targeting YBX1 in CML treatment.

Project description:To understand the underlying mechanism by which Alox15 gene is required by HSCs, we performed a comparative DNA microarray analysis using total RNA isolated from wild type Lin-Sca-1+c-Kit+, Alox5-/- Lin-Sca-1+c-Kit+. The result was validated by quantitative real-time PCR analysis of wild type Lin-Sca-1+c-Kit+ and Alox15-/- Lin-Sca-1+c-Kit+. Cancer stem cells are responsible for the initiation and maintenance of some types of cancer, and few effective target genes in these stem cells have been identified. Here we show that the arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase gene (Alox15) is essential for the survival of leukemia stem cells (LSCs) in BCR-ABL-induced chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). In the absence of Alox15, BCR-ABL failed to induce CML in mice. This Alox15 deficiency caused the impairment of LSC function through affecting cell division and apoptosis, leading to eventual deletion of LSCs. Inhibition of Alox15 function by a chemical compound also impaired the function of LSCs, and cured CML mice. In addition, we show that Alox15 is required for the survival of human CD34+ CML stem cells. The defective CML phenotype in the absence of Alox15 is rescued by depleting P-selectin. The underlying mechanisms are also related to pathways involving PTEN, PI3K/AKT, and ICSBP. These results identify Alox15 as a potential target gene for eradicating LSCs in CML, providing a novel strategy for treating CML patients for cure. we compared the gene profile of HSCs between WT mice and Alox15-/- mice.
