Transient JAK/STAT pathway inhibition prevents natural occurring B-ALL development in genetically predisposed Pax5+/- mice

ABSTRACT: We used microarrays to investigate gene expression changes in bone marrow B220+ cells from Pax5+/- and wild-type mice after ruxolitinib treatment during 2 weeks. Preventing development of B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), a disease with devastating effects in children, is a longstanding and unsolved challenge in medicine. In humans and mice, germline alterations in the Pax5 gene can lead to B-ALL. Preclinical studies have shown that this malignant transformation only occurs under an immune stress through the accumulation of secondary mutations in the JAK/STAT pathway. Here we describe that transient oral administration of ruxolitinib, a drug targeting the JAK/STAT pathway, can mitigate the risk of B-ALL in Pax5+/- mice. Although exposure to infection strongly potentiates leukemogenesis, the development of B-ALL was significantly impeded by transient in vivo treatment of Pax5+/- mice with ruxolitinib early in life (p-value=0.0332). These findings provided the first in vivo evidence for an effective preventive strategy for B-ALL development in genetically predisposed mice.

Repurposing tofacitinib as an anti-myeloma therapeutic to reverse growth-promoting effects of the bone marrow microenvironment

Project description:The myeloma bone marrow microenvironment drives proliferation of malignant plasma cells and promotes resistance to therapy. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and downstream JAK/STAT signaling are thought to be central components of these microenvironment-induced phenotypes. In a prior drug repurposing screen, we identified tofacitinib, a pan-JAK inhibitor FDA-approved for rheumatoid arthritis, as an agent that may reverse the tumor-stimulating effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells.Here, we validated both in vitro, in stromal-responsive human myeloma cell lines, and in vivo, in orthotopic disseminated murine xenograft models of myeloma, that tofacitinib showed both single-agent and combination therapeutic efficacy in myeloma models. Surprisingly, we found that ruxolitinib, an FDA-approved agent targeting JAK1 and JAK2, did not lead to the same anti-myeloma effects. Combination with a novel irreversible JAK3-selective inhibitor also did not rescue ruxolitinib effects. RNA-seq and unbiased phosphoproteomics revealed that marrow stromal cells drive a JAK/STAT-mediated proliferative program in myeloma plasma cells, and tofacitinib reversed the large majority of these pro-growth signals. Taken together, our results suggest that tofacitinib specifically reverses the growth-promoting effects of the tumor microenvironment through blocking an IL-6-mediated signaling axis. As tofacitinib is already FDA-approved, these results can be rapidly translated into potential clinical benefits for myeloma patients.

JAK/STAT inhibition in macrophages promotes therapeutic resistance by inducing expression of protumorigenic factors

Project description:Tumor-associated macrophages contribute to tumor progression and therapeutic resistance in breast cancer. Within the tumor microenvironment, tumor-derived factors activate pathways that modulate macrophage function. Using in vitro and in vivo models, we find that tumor-derived factors induce activation of the Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathway in macrophages. We also demonstrate that loss of STAT3 in myeloid cells leads to enhanced mammary tumorigenesis. Further studies show that macrophages contribute to resistance of mammary tumors to the JAK/STAT inhibitor ruxolitinib in vivo and that ruxolitinib-treated macrophages produce soluble factors that promote resistance of tumor cells to JAK inhibition in vitro. Finally, we demonstrate that STAT3 deletion and JAK/STAT inhibition in macrophages increases expression of the pro-tumorigenic factor cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and that COX-2 inhibition enhances responsiveness of tumors to ruxolitinib. These findings define a novel mechanism through which macrophages promote therapeutic resistance and highlight the importance of understanding the impact of targeted therapies on the tumor microenvironment.

Efficacy of JAK/STAT pathway inhibition in murine xenograft models of early T-cell precursor (ETP) acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Project description:Early T-cell precursor (ETP) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a recently described subtype of T-ALL characterized by a unique immunophenotype and genomic profile as well as a high rate of induction failure. Frequent mutations in cytokine receptor and JAK/STAT signaling pathways led us to hypothesize that ETP-ALL is dependent on JAK/STAT signaling. Here we demonstrate aberrant activation of the JAK/STAT pathway in ETP-ALL blasts relative to non-ETP T-ALL. Moreover, ETP-ALL showed hyperactivation of STAT5 in response to IL7, an effect that was abrogated by the JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib. In vivo, ruxolitinib displayed activity in 6/6 patient-derived murine xenograft models of ETP-ALL, with profound single-agent efficacy in 5 models. Ruxolitinib treatment decreased peripheral blast counts relative to pre-treatment levels and compared to control (P<0.01) in 5/6 ETP-ALL xenografts, with marked reduction in mean splenic blast counts (P<0.01) in 6/6 samples. Surprisingly, both JAK/STAT pathway activation and ruxolitinib efficacy were independent of the presence of JAK/STAT pathway mutations, raising the possibility that the therapeutic potential of ruxolitinib in ETP-ALL extends beyond those cases with JAK mutations. These findings establish the preclinical in vivo efficacy of ruxolitinib in ETP-ALL, a biologically distinct subtype for which novel therapies are needed.

NFIC1 suppresses migration and invasion of breast cancer cells through interferon-mediated Jak-STAT pathway

Project description:NFIC1, the longest isoform of NFIC, is essential for the regulation on spatiotemporal expressions of drug-metabolizing genes in liver. However, the role of NFIC1 in breast cancer is not clear. Here we showed that increased expression of NFIC1 suppressed the migration and invasion of MCF-7 cells. The activation of interferon-associated Jak-STAT pathway was enhanced with NFIC1 overexpression. NFIC1 overexpression upregulated the expression of IFNB1, IFNL1, IFNL2 and IFNL3. Treatment with Jak-STAT pathway inhibitors, Filgotinib or Ruxolitinib, reversed the suppressive effects of NFIC1 overexpression on migration and invasion. In addition, we found that MX1 and MX2 were the target genes of NFIC1- activated Jak-STAT pathway, which mediated the migration and invasion of MCF-7 cells. These results demonstrated that NFIC1 inhibited the migration and invasion in MCF-7 cells through interferon mediated activation of Jak-STAT pathway, indicating that Jak-STAT pathway might be a potential therapeutic target for preventing breast cancer metastasis.

Ruxolitinib inhibits Cyclosporine-induced proliferation of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma

Project description:Organ transplant recipients (OTRs) on Cyclosporine A (CSA) are prone to catastrophic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Allograft-sparing, cancer-targeting systemic treatments are unavailable. We have shown increased risk for catastrophic SCC in OTRs via CSA-mediated induction of Interleukin-22 (IL-22). Herein, we found CSA drives SCC proliferation and tumor growth through IL-22 and JAK/STAT pathway induction. We in turn inhibited SCC growth with an FDA-approved JAK 1/2 inhibitor, Ruxolitinib. In human SCC cells, greatest proliferative response to IL-22 and CSA treatment occurred in non-metastasizing lines. IL-22 treatment upregulated JAK1 and STAT1/3 in A431 SCC cells. JAK/STAT pathway genes were highly expressed in tumors from a cohort of CSA-exposed OTRs, and in SCC with high risk for metastasis. Compared to immunocompetent SCC, genes associated with innate immunity, response to DNA damage and p53 regulation were differentially expressed in SCC from OTRs. In nude mice engrafted with human A431 cells, IL-22 and CSA treatment increased tumor growth and upregulated IL-22 receptor, JAK1 and STAT 1/3 expression. Ruxolitinib treatment significantly reduced tumor volume and reversed the accelerated tumor growth. CSA and IL-22 exacerbate aggressive behavior in SCC. Targeting the IL-22 axis via selective JAK/STAT inhibition may reduce the progression of aggressive SCC in OTRs, without compromising immunosuppression. In this study, microarray data was used to compare normal skin to immunocompetent SCC, to transplant associated SCC (TSCC)

The gut microbiome protects genetically predisposed mice against leukemia

Project description:We used microarrays to investigate gene expression changes in leukemic cells from Pax5+/- mice treated with antibiotics. Precursor B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (pB-ALL), the most common type of childhood leukemia, is frequently characterized by the cooperation of a genetic predisposition acquired in utero and secondary oncogenic events taking place only in a fraction of predisposed children after birth. Although predisposition can be detected at birth, it is currently unknown which factors determine the development of overt leukemia in genetic carriers and how this can be potentially prevented. Experimental studies have shown that infectious stimuli promote disease onset in genetically predisposed mice. Here, we analyzed the impact of the microbiome on leukemogenesis in a mouse model (Pax5+/- mice) that faithfully mimicks genetic predisposition and leukemogenesis of human pB-ALL related to the synergy of genetic predisposition and exposure to a natural infectious environment. Employing 16S rRNA sequencing and machine learning we can accurately predict a distinct gut microbiome which is determined by a specific constitutional genetic variant. Deprivation of the gut microbiome by antibiotic treatment enhanced pB-ALL development in Pax5+/- predisposed (63% vs. 22%) but not in wildtype mice (0%). This finding was observed in the presence but also -to a lesser extent- in the absence of a natural, infectious environment (48%). The composition of the gut microbiome constitutes a biomarker signature and allows to identify specifically those Pax5+/- mice that developed leukemia. This indicates that the gut microbiome can be used to identify carriers at risk to develop leukemia and to reduce this risk by early-life interventions.

Immune stress suppresses innate immune signaling in preleukemic precursor B cells to cause leukemia

Project description:We used microarrays to investigate gene expression changes in leukemic bone marrow from Pax5+/-;Myd88+/- mice compared with bone marrow precursor B cells from WT mice and to study the effect of Myd88 downregulation in healthy Pax5+/- proB cells. The initial steps of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) development usually pass unnoticed in children; germline or somatic alterations affecting transcription factor genes cause the appearance of preleukemic cells still compatible with normal hematopoiesis, and preclinical studies have shown that immune stressors can trigger the malignant transformation of these otherwise silent preleukemic precursors to full-blown B-ALL. Understanding how exposure to immune stressors drives this conversion is a longstanding and unsolved challenge. Here we unveiled a specific “gene/environmental factor” interaction triggering B-ALL development. Our data show that B-ALL development falls into the category of cancers associated with dysregulation of innate immunity, which plays a driving role in the clonal evolution of pre-malignant B-cell precursors toward B-ALL following exposure to an immune stress. Transcriptional profiling of B-ALL allowed the identification of an inflammation-dependent role for Myd88 as a key player in this process. A preleukemic B-cell-autonomous role was evidenced by a significant increase in B-ALL incidence upon Myd88 dowregulation in the leukemia-prone Pax5+/- model. Likewise, early innate immune response induction by Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligation during the preleukemic phase in Pax5+/- mice resulted in a significant delay of B-ALL development. These findings identify a central role for innate immunity dysregulation in B-ALL, with important implications for the understanding and potential therapeutic targeting of the preleukemic state in children.

Pax5 is a tumor suppressor in mouse mutagenesis models of acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Project description:To examine the role of PAX5 alterations in leukemogenesis, we performed mutagenesis screens of mice heterozygous for a loss-of-function Pax5 allele. Both chemical and retroviral mutagenesis resulted in a significantly increased penetrance and reduced latency of leukemia, with a shift to B-lymphoid lineage. We observed a range of maturation of lymphoid tumors, and genomic profiling identified a high frequency of secondary genomic mutations, deletions and retroviral insertions targeting B-lymphoid development, including Pax5, and additional genes and pathways known to be mutated in ALL, including tumor suppressors, Ras and JAK-STAT signaling. These results support the notion that loss-of-function of PAX5 is a central event in leukemogenesis and contributes to the arrest in lymphoid maturation characteristic of this disease. Moreover, we validate the role of mutations in additional pathways and demonstrate that sequential acquisition of genetic alterations is required for establishment of leukemia.
