TNFAIP8 promotes AML chemoresistance by activating ERK signaling pathway through interaction with Rac1

ABSTRACT: The tumor necrosis factor induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8), a novel anti-apoptotic molecule, has been implicated in chemoresistance of several types of neoplasms, but its role in AML remains to be elucidated. In this study, upregulated TNFAIP8 expression was found in human AML patients and cell lines. E74 like ETS transcription factor 1 (ELF1) was identified to contribute to its aberrant expression. Forced expression of TNFAIP8 protected cells from apoptosis induced by chemotherapeutic agents and increased drug resistance. Importantly, the leukemia-promoting action of TNFAIP8 was mediated by sustaining activity of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathway through an interaction with Rac family small GTPase 1 (Rac1). In vivo experiments showed that TNFAIP8 suppression lowered leukemia infiltration and improved survival. Taken together, our data provide a molecular basis for the role of TNFAIP8 in chemoresistance and progression of AML and highlight the unique function of TNFAIP8 as an attractive therapeutic target.

BCL6 mediates Chemoresistance in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Project description:BCL6 is a transcription repressor that plays a crucial role in germinal center formation and lymphomagenesis. However, its role in myeloid malignancies remains unclear. Here, we explored the role of BCL6 in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Heterogeneous levels of BCL6 were found across AML cell lines and primary AML samples. Cells with higher levels of BCL6 were indeed sensitive to treatment with BCL6 inhibitors. Gene expression profiling of AML cells treated with BCL6 inhibitor revealed a subset of target genes that are common with lymphoma cells. Ex vivo treatment of primary AML cells with BCL6 peptide inhibitor (BPI) induced apoptosis and decrease colony forming capacity which correlated with the levels of BCL6 expression . Importantly, inhibition of BCL6 in primary AML cells with either BPI or BCL6 siRNA resulted in significant reduction of leukemia initiating capacity using immunodeficient mice, suggesting ablation of leukemia stem cells (LSC). Such anti-LSC activity was also observed as downregulation of LSC gene signatures using gene expression analyses of cells treated with a BCL6 inhibitor. Importantly, treatment with cytarabine (AraC) induced BCL6 expression, and the levels of BCL6 induction were correlated with resistance to AraC. Treatment of AML primary derived xenografts (PDX) revealed that when AraC was combined with BCL6 inhibitor, inhibition of BCL6 significantly potentiated the efficacy of AraC and improved cytotoxic effects by interfering with the leukemia initiating capacity of AML cells. This suggests that pharmacological inhibition of BCL6 might provide a novel therapeutic strategy for ablation of LSCs and overcome chemoresistance in AML.

Lineage tracing of acute myeloid leukemia reveals the impact of hypomethylating agents on chemoresistance selection

Project description:Chemotherapy-resistant cancer recurrence is a major cause of mortality. In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chemorefractory relapses result from the complex interplay between altered genetic, epigenetic and transcriptional states in leukemic cells. We developed an experimental model system using in vitro lineage tracing coupled with exome, transcriptome and in vivo functional readouts to assess the AML population dynamics and associated molecular determinants underpinning chemoresistance development. We found that combining standard chemotherapeutic regimens with low doses of DNA methyltransferase inhibitors (DNMTi, hypomethylating drugs) prevents chemoresistant relapses. Mechanistically, DNMTi suppressed the outgrowth of a pre-determined set of chemoresistant AML clones with stemness properties, instead favoring the expansion of rarer and unfit chemosensitive clones. Importantly, we confirmed the capacity of DNMTi combination to suppress stemness-dependent chemoresistance development in both xenotransplantation models and primary AML patient samples. Together, these results support the potential of DNMTi combination treatment to circumvent the development of chemorefractory AML relapses.

Combinatorial genetics reveals the DOCK1-RAC2 axis as a specific target for the treatment of NPM1;Cohesin mutated AML

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is driven by mutations that occur in numerous combinations. A better understanding of how mutations interact with one another to cause disease is critical to developing targeted therapies. Approximately 50% of patients that harbor a common mutation in NPM1 (NPM1cA) also harbor a mutation in the cohesin complex. As cohesin and Npm1 are known to regulate gene expression, we sought to determine how cohesin mutation alters the transcriptome in the context of NPM1cA. We utilized inducible Npm1cAflox/+ and Smc3flox/+ mouse models to examine this genetic interaction. While Npm1cA/+;Smc3 /+ mice developed AML with similar latency as Npm1cA/+ mice, RNA sequencing suggests that the Npm1cA; Smc3 /+ mutational combination uniquely alters the transcriptome. We found that the Rac1/2 nucleotide exchange factor Dock1 was uniquely upregulated in Npm1cA/+;Smc3 /+ HSPCs. Knockdown of Dock1 resulted in decreased growth and adhesion and increased apoptosis specifically in Npm1cA/+;Smc3 /+ AML. Higher Rac activity was also observed in Npm1cA/+;Smc3 /+ vs. Npm1cA/+ AMLs. Importantly, the Dock1/Rac pathway is targetable in Npm1cA/+;Smc3 /+ AMLs. Our results suggest that Dock1/Rac represent unique targets for the treatment of patients harboring both the NPM1cA and cohesin mutations and support the use of combinatorial genetics to identify novel precision oncology targets.

Fam49/CYRI interacts with Rac1 and locally suppresses protrusions

Project description:Actin-based protrusions driving cell migration are reinforced through positive feedback, but it is unclear how the cell restricts the eventual size of protrusions, or limits positive signals to allow them to split or retract. We have identified an evolutionarily conserved regulator of the protrusion machinery, which we name CYRI (CYFIP-related Rac interactor). CYRI binds specifically to activated Rac1 via a common motif that is also found in CYFIP, the Domain of Unknown Function DUF1394; we demonstrate that DUF1394 as a new class of Rac1 binding module. CYRI-depleted cells have broad, Scar/WAVE-enriched lamellipodia and display an enhanced duration and extent of pseudopod extension in response to optogenetic Rac1 activation. Conversely, CYRI overexpression suppresses recruitment of active Scar/WAVE complex to the cell edge and results in short-lived, unproductive protrusions. CYRI dynamically inhibits Scar/WAVE induced actin to focus positive protrusion signals and regulate pseudopod complexity. It therefore behaves like a “local inhibitor” predicted and described in widely accepted mathematical models, but not previously identified in living cells. CYRI is important for processes requiring polarity and plasticity of protrusions, including directional chemotactic migration and polarization of epithelial cysts.

Effect of Rac1 haploinsufficiency on the gene expression profile of mouse endothelial cells

Project description:The therapeutic potential of neurotrophic factors has been hampered by their inability to achieve adequate tissue penetration. Brain blood vessels, however, could be an alternative target for neuro-salvage therapies by virtue of their close proximity to neurons. Here we show that hemizygous deletion of Rac1 in mouse endothelial cells (ECs) attenuates brain injury and edema following focal cerebral ischemia. To explore the mechanisms whereby decrease of Rac1 in ECs provide neuroprotection, ECs were derived from Rac1+/+ and Rac1+/- mice. Microarray analysis was performed to determine the differential gene expression between Rac1+/+ and Rac1+/- ECs. Rac1+/+ and Rac1+/- ECs were cultured to subconfluence. Total RNA was extracted and reverse transcribed. Rac1+/+ (n = 2) and Rac1+/- (n = 2) EC cDNAs were labeled with Cy3 and Cy5, respectively, and equimolar mixtures of labeled Rac1+/+ and Rac1+/- probes were hybridized to 2 slides (sample #21648, #21649). Additionally, Rac1+/+ (n = 2) and Rac1+/- (n=2) EC cDNAs labeled with Cy5 and Cy3 (dye-swapping) were hybridized to 2 slides (sample #21650, #21651). Comparison of signal intensities between Rac1+/+ (channel 2) and Rac1+/- (channel 1) was conducted on each slide (sample), and the ratio of intensities from 4 slides were statistically assessed for each gene feature to investigate differential gene expression.

Bistability in the Rac1, PAK and RhoA signalling network is a feature of cell motility.

Project description:Dynamic interactions between RhoA and Rac1, members of the Rho small GTPase family, play a vital role in the control of cell migration. Using predictive mathematical modelling and experimental validation in MDA-MB-231 mesenchymal breast cancer cells, we show that Rac1 and RhoA interactions via the PAK-family kinases can produce bistable, switch-like responses to a graded PAK inhibition. Using a small chemical inhibitor of PAK we confirm the model conjecture demonstrating that cellular RhoA and Rac activation levels respond in a bistable manner to PAK inhibition where for a given inhibition level these levels are high or low depending on the history of the system. Consequently, we show that downstream signalling, actin dynamics and cell migration also behave in a bistable fashion, displaying abrupt switches and hysteresis in response to PAK inhibition. In summary, our results demonstrate that PAK is a critical component in the Rac1-RhoA inhibitory crosstalk that mediates bistable GTPase activity and cell migration switches.

Roles of Cdc42 and Rac in Bergmann glia during cerebellar corticogenesis (WT_primary_astrocyte)

Project description:Bergmann glia (BG) are important in the inward type of radial migration of cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs). However, details regarding the functions of Cdc42 and Rac in BG for radial migration of CGN are unknown. To examine the roles of Cdc42 and Rac in BG during cerebellar corticogenesis, mice with a single deletion of Cdc42 or Rac1 and those with double deletions of Cdc42 and Rac1 under control of the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) promoter: GFAP-Cre;Cdc42flox/flox (Cdc42-KO), GFAP–Cre;Rac1flox/flox (Rac1-KO), and GFAP-Cre;Cdc42 flox/flox;Rac1flox/flox (Cdc42/Rac1-DKO) mice, were generated. Both Cdc42-KO and Rac1-KO mice, but more obviously Cdc42-KO mice, had disturbed alignment of BG in the Purkinje cell layer (PCL). We found that Cdc42-KO, but not Rac1-KO, induced impaired radial migration of CGNs in the late phase of radial migration, leading to retention of CGNs in the inferior half of the molecular layer (ML). Cdc42-KO, but not Rac1-KO, mice also showed aberrantly aligned Purkinje cells (PCs). These phenotypes were exacerbated in Cdc42/Rac1-DKO mice. Alignment of BG radial fibers in the ML and BG endfeet at the pial surface of the cerebellum evaluated by GFAP staining was disturbed and weak in Cdc42/Rac1-DKO mice, respectively. Our data indicate that that Cdc42 and Rac, but predominantly Cdc42, in BG play important roles during the late phase of radial migration of CGNs. We also report here that Cdc42 is involved in gliophilic migration of CGNs, in contrast to Rac, which is more closely connected to regulating neurophilic migration.
