Ex Vivo Expansion of Phenotypic and Transcriptomic Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Stem Cells

ABSTRACT: Despite decades of research, standard therapies remain ineffective for most leukemias, pushing toward an essential unmet need for targeted drug screens. Moreover, preclinical drug testing is an important consideration for success of clinical trials without affecting non-transformed stem cells. Using the transgenic chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) mouse model, we determine that leukemic stem cells (LSCs) are transcriptionally heterogenous with a preexistent drug-insensitive signature. To test targeting of potentially important pathways, we establish ex vivo expanded LSCs that have long-term engraftment and give rise to multilineage hematopoiesis. Expanded LSCs share transcriptomic signatures with primary LSCs including enrichment in Wnt, JAK-STAT, MAPK, mTOR and transforming growth factor b signaling pathways. Drug testing on expanded LSCs show that transforming growth factor b and Wnt inhibitors had significant effects on the viability of LSCs, but not leukemia-exposed healthy HSCs. This platform allows testing of multiple drugs at the same time to identify vulnerabilities of LSCs.

Niche-based screening identifies small-molecule inhibitors of leukemia stem cells

Project description:Efforts to develop more effective therapies for acute leukemia may benefit from high-throughput screening systems that reflect the complex physiology of the disease, including leukemia stem cells (LSCs) and supportive interactions with the bone-marrow microenvironment. The therapeutic targeting of LSCs is challenging because LSCs are highly similar to normal hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) and are protected by stromal cells in vivo. We screened 14,718 compounds in a leukemia-stroma co-culture system for inhibition of cobblestone formation, a cellular behavior associated with stem-cell function. Among those that inhibited malignant cells but spared HSPCs was the cholesterol-lowering drug lovastatin. Lovastatin showed anti-LSC activity in vitro and in an in vivo bone marrow transplantation model. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that the effect was on-target, via inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase. These results suggest that statins should be re-evaluated as anti-leukemia agents, and illustrate the power of merging physiologically-relevant models with high-throughput screening. Freshly isolated LSCe cells were treated with either 5M-BM-5M BRD7116 or DMSO vehicle control for 6 hours in suspension in IMDM (12440053, Invitrogen), 10% FBS. Total RNA was extracted from the cells, labeled, and hybridized to MouseRef-8 v2.0 Expression BeadChips. Hartwell, K.A. et al., In Press (full citation forthcoming)

Genome-wide comparison of gene expression level between leukemia stem cells in different tissues

Project description:Analysis of gene expression of leukemia stem cells (LSCs) in different tissues. The hypothesis is that the distinct niche in different tissues affects the gene expression of LSCs. Total RNA from LSCs in different tissues including bone marrow (BM), spleen (SPL), peripheral blood (BL), gonadal adipose tissue (AT) as well as normal counterparts for LSCs from normal BM (NBM) was isolated and subjected to RNA-seq. LSCs were derived from a blast crisis chronic myeloid leukemia (bcCML) murine model induced by co-expression of human leukemic oncogenes BCR-ABL and NUP98-HOXA9. Triplicates were generated for LSCs from each tissues.

Gene expression profiling in BCR/ABL-expressing LSCs and BCR/ABL-expressing Hif1a-/-LSCs

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.

The BCL-2 Inhibitor Venetoclax in Combination with Azacitidine Disrupts Energy Metabolism and Targets Leukemia Stem Cells in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients

Project description:The manuscript summarizes clinical and laboratory-based evaluation of 33 AML patients treated with a novel drug combination, venetoclax and azacytidine. Our findings indicate that this regimen is exceptionally promising for the treatment of de novo AML patients. The improvement in outcomes in comparison to conventional therapy is quite remarkable. The manuscript explores the mechanistic basis for the clinical outcomes, testing the hypothesis that venetoclax and azacytidine effectively target leukemia stem cells (LSCs) in vivo. Our findings indicate the regimen is highly active towards the LSC population. Specifically, we describe a mechanism that suppresses the activity of electron transport complex II, resulting in inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation.

Overcoming Wnt-β-catenin dependent anticancer therapy resistance in leukaemia stem cells.

Project description:Leukaemia stem cells (LSCs) underlie cancer therapy resistance but targeting these cells remains difficult. The Wnt–β-catenin and PI3K–Akt pathways cooperate to promote tumorigenesis and resistance to therapy. In a mouse model in which both pathways are activated in stem and progenitor cells, LSCs expanded under chemotherapy-induced stress. Since Akt can activate β-catenin, inhibiting this interaction might target therapy-resistant LSCs. High-throughput screening identified doxorubicin (DXR) as an inhibitor of the Akt–β-catenin interaction at low doses. Here we repurposed DXR as a targeted inhibitor rather than a broadly cytotoxic chemotherapy. Targeted DXR reduced Akt-activated β-catenin levels in chemoresistant LSCs and reduced LSC tumorigenic activity. Mechanistically, β-catenin binds multiple immune-checkpoint gene loci, and targeted DXR treatment inhibited expression of multiple immune checkpoints specifically in LSCs, including PD-L1, TIM3 and CD24. Overall, LSCs exhibit distinct properties of immune resistance that are reduced by inhibiting Akt-activated β-catenin. These findings suggest a strategy for overcoming cancer therapy resistance and immune escape.

Gene expression profiling in BCR-ABL expressing LSCs and BCR-ABL-BLK expressing 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.

Expression profiling of murine leukemia stem cell (LSC) lines established ex vivo by coexpression of R882H-mutated DNMT3A and NRAS-G12D post treatment with Dot1l inhibitor (Microarray)

Project description:DNA Methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) is frequently mutated in various hematopoietic malignancies; however, the underlying oncogenic mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we report that DNMT3A mutational âhotspotâ at Arg882 (DNMT3A-R882H) cooperates with constitutively activated RAS in transforming murine hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) ex vivo and inducing acute leukemias in vivo. DNMT3A-R882H potentiates aberrant transactivation of âstemnessâ gene expression programs, notably transcription factors Meis1, Hox-A, Mn1 and Mycn. Mechanistically, R882-mutated DNMT3A directly binds to cis-regulatory elements of these genes and induces focal CpG hypomethylation reminiscent of what was seen in human leukemias bearing DNMT3A R882 mutation. Furthermore, DNMT3A-R882H induced DNA hypomethylation facilitates gene enhancer/promoter activation and recruitment of Dot1l-associated transcription elongation machineries. Inactivation of Dot1l represses DNMT3AR882H-mediated stem cell gene dysregulation and acute leukemogenicity. In this dataset, we provided gene expression profiling data for (1) RH-RAS leukemia stem cells (RH-RAS LSCs), (2) LSCs transformed by MLL-AF9, (3) LSCs transformed by NUP98-JARID1A, and (4) Dot1l inhibitor-treated RH-RAS LSCs. Gene expression data were generated using Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Microarray (Affymetrix) for four independently derived RH-RAS LSC lines (termed as LSC RH-RAS #1, #2, #3 and #4), two RH-RAS LSC lines (LSC RH-RAS #1 and # 3) treated with 1 ÂµM SGC0946 (a Dot1l-specific small-molecule inhibitor) for 4 days, one MLL-AF9-transformed progenitor line and three NUP98-JARID1A transformed progenitor lines.

Rictor Plays a Pivotal Role in Maintaining Quiescence as well as Stemness of Leukemia Stem Cells in MLL-Driven Leukemia

Project description:Little is known about the roles of Rictor/mTORC2 in the leukemogenesis of AML. Here, we demonstrated that Rictor is essential for the maintenance of MLL-driven leukemia by preventing LSCs from exhaustion. Rictor depletion led to a reactive activation of mTORC1 signaling by facilitating the assembly of mTORC1. Hyperactivated mTORC1 signaling in turn drove LSCs into cycling, compromised the quiescence of LSCs and eventually exhausted their capacity to generate leukemia. At the same time, loss of Rictor had led to a reactive activation of FoxO3a in leukemia cells, which acts as negative feedback to restrain greater over-reactivation of mTORC1 activity and paradoxically protects leukemia cells from exhaustion. Simultaneous depletion of Rictor and FoxO3a enabled rapid exhaustion of MLL LSCs and a quick eradication of MLL leukemia. As such, our present findings highlighted a pivotal regulatory axis of Rictor-FoxO3a in maintaining quiescence and the stemness of LSCs. To understand the critical molecular events caused by Rictor loss in MLL-AF9-driven leukemia,the K+Gâ mice BM cells were sorted from the 1st BMT of RictorÎ/Î(MA9_R1,MA9_R2,MA9_R3) or control(MA9_C1,MA9_C2,MA9_C3), and subjected to microarray analysis on Affymetrix microarrays.Furthermore, the MLL-NRIP3-driven mice model was chosen for further examination.The K+Gâ mice BM cells were sorted from the 1st BMT of RictorÎ/Î(MN3_R1,MN3_R2,MN3_R3) or control(MN3_C1,MN3_C2,MN3_C3), and subjected to microarray analysis on Affymetrix microarrays.
