Effect of IL13 on MPLW515L Megakaryocytes

ABSTRACT: Myelofibrosis (MF) is a disease associated with high unmet medical needs since allogeneic stem cell transplantation is not an option for most patients and JAK inhibitors are generally effective for only 2-3 years and do not delay disease progression. MF is characterized by the presence of dysplastic megakaryocytic hyperplasia and progression to fulminant disease, which is associated with progressively increasing marrow fibrosis. Despite evidence of an inflammatory milieu in MF that contributes to disease progression, the specific factors that promote megakaryocyte growth are poorly understood. Here, we analyzed changes in the cytokine profiles of MF mouse models before and after development of fibrosis coupled with analysis of bone marrow populations by scRNA-seq. We found high IL-13 levels in the bone marrow of MF mice. IL-13 promoted the growth of mutant megakaryocytes and induced the surface expression of TGF- and collagen biosynthesis. Analysis of samples from patients with myelofibrosis similarly revealed elevated levels of IL-13 in plasma and increased IL-13 receptor expression by marrow megakaryocytes. In vivo, IL-13 overexpression promoted disease progression while reducing IL-13/IL-4 signaling reduced several features of the disease including fibrosis. Lastly, we found an increase in the numbers of marrow T cells and mast cells, which are known sources of IL-13. Together, our data demonstrate that IL-13 is involved in disease progression in MF and that inhibition of the IL-13/IL-4 signaling pathway might serve as a novel therapeutic target to treat MF.

IL-13/IL-4 signaling contributes to fibrotic progression of the myeloproliferative neoplasms

Project description:Myelofibrosis (MF) is a disease with high unmet medical need since bone marrow transplant is not an option for many patients and JAK inhibitors are generally effective for only 2-3 years. MF is characterized by the presence of dysplastic megakaryocytes and progression to fulminant disease is associated with significantly increased fibrosis in the bone marrow. Despite evidence of an inflammatory state in MF that drives disease progression, the specific factors that promote megakaryocyte growth are poorly understood. Here, we analyzed changes in the cytokine profiles of MF mouse models before and after development of fibrosis coupled with analysis of bone marrow populations by scRNA-seq. We found high IL-13 levels in the bone marrow of MF mice. IL-13 promoted the growth of mutant megakaryocytes and induced the surface expression of TGF-B and collagen biosynthesis. Analysis of samples from patients with myelofibrosis revealed elevated levels of IL-13 in plasma and increased IL-13 receptor expression in megakaryocytes in the bone marrow, indicating that our observations in mice are relevant in human disease. In vivo, IL-13 overexpression promoted disease progression while reducing IL-13/IL-4 signaling reduced several features of the disease including fibrosis. Lastly, we found an increase in T cells and mast cells, which are known sources of IL-13 in MF bone marrow. Together, our data demonstrate that IL-13 is involved in the progression of MF and that inhibition of the IL-13/IL-4 signaling pathway should be investigated as a therapeutic option in MF.

CXCL8/CXCR2 signaling is Enriched in Fibrotic Myeloproliferative Neoplasms and is Vulnerable to Therapeutic Inhibition [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Pro-inflammatory signaling is a hallmark feature of human cancer, including in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), most notably myelofibrosis (MF). Dysregulated inflammatory signaling contributes to fibrotic progression in MF; however, the individual cytokine mediators elicited by malignant MPN cells to promote collagen-producing fibrosis and disease evolution remain yet to be fully elucidated. Previously we identified a critical role for combined constitutive JAK/STAT and aberrant NF-kB pro-inflammatory signaling in myelofibrosis development. Using single-cell transcriptional and cytokine-secretion studies of primary MF patient cells and two separate murine models of myelofibrosis, we extend this previous work and delineate the role of CXCL8/CXCR2 signaling in MF pathogenesis and bone marrow fibrosis progression. MF patient hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells are enriched in a CXCL8/CXCR2 gene signature and display dose-dependent proliferation and fitness in response to exogenous CXCL8 ligand in vitro. Genetic deletion of Cxcr2 in the hMPLW515L adoptive transfer model abrogates fibrosis and extends overall survival, and pharmacologic inhibition of the CXCR1/2 pathway improves hematologic parameters, attenuates bone marrow fibrosis, and synergizes with JAK inhibitor therapy. Our mechanistic insights provide a rationale for therapeutic targeting of the CXCL8/CXCR2 pathway in MF patients at risk for continued fibrotic progression.

Effects of Pim1 inhibition with TP-3654 on hematopoietic progenitors of Jak2V617F mice

Project description:Myelofibrosis (MF) is the deadliest form of myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN). Pim1 expression is significantly elevated in MPN/MF hematopoietic progenitors. So, we investigated the role of Pim1 in myelofibrosis. We show that genetic ablation of Pim1 blocked the development of myelofibrosis induced by Jak2V617F and MPLW515L. Pharmacologic inhibition of Pim1 with a second-generation Pim kinase inhibitor TP-3654 significantly reduced leukocytosis, splenomegaly and attenuated bone marrow fibrosis in Jak2V617F and MPLW515L mouse models of MF. Combined treatment of TP-3654 and Ruxolitinib resulted in greater reduction of spleen size, normalization of blood leukocyte counts and abrogation of bone marrow fibrosis in murine models of MF. TP-3654 treatment also preferentially inhibited Jak2V617F mutant hematopoietic progenitors in mice. Our results suggest that Pim1 plays an important role in the pathogenesis of MF, and inhibition of Pim1 with TP-3654 might be useful for treatment of MF.

Interleukin-32 is progressively expressed in Mycosis Fungoides independent of helper T-cell 2 and helper T-cell 9 polarization

Project description:Mycosis Fungoides (MF) is typically characterized by a mature CD4+ memory T-cell phenotype, and regarded as a helper T-cell (Th)2-skewed disease. Here, using skin samples from MF (n=21), healthy volunteers (n=17), atopic dermatitis (n=17), and psoriasis (n=9), we performed RT-PCR to show highest interleukin (IL)-32 mRNA expression in MF compared to benign inflammatory diseases, and its increasing expression with disease progression. By immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence, we confirmed IL-32 protein expression by numerous CD3+CD4+ T-cells and some epidermotropic T-cells in MF lesions. IL-32 is expressed by MyLa cells (MF cell line) and promoted their proliferation and viability in a dose-dependent fashion. IL-32-treated MyLa and HH cells (CTCL cell line) showed upregulation of cell proliferation and survival genes. Of major 'polar' T-cell cytokines, only IFN-γ mRNA increases with MF progression and positively correlates with IL-32 mRNA expression levels. Th2 cytokines do not show consistent increases with MF progression nor positive correlation with IL-32 mRNA expression levels. Furthermore, by flow cytometry, IL-32 production by circulating activated T-cells in healthy individulas was found in IFN-γ+ and IFN-γ- cells but not in IL-4+ or IL-13+ cells. In conclusion, we identified IL-32+ cells as likely tumor cells in MF, and clearly showed that IL-32 mRNA expression levels increase with MF progression. We found that IL-32 mRNA expression levels in MF are significantly higher than those in other skin diseases, and that some IL-32+ T-cells are independent from defined Th subsets. Thus IL-32 may play a unique role in MF progression as an autocrine cytokine.

Single-Cell Analyses Reveal Megakaryocyte-Biased Hematopoiesis in Myelofibrosis and Identify Mutant Clone-Specific Targets

Project description:Myelofibrosis is a severe myeloproliferative neoplasm characterised by increased numbers of abnormal bone marrow megakaryocytes that induce fibrosis, destroying the hematopoietic microenvironment. To determine the cellular and molecular basis for aberrant megakaryopoiesis in myelofibrosis, we performed single-cell transcriptome profiling of 135,929 CD34+Lineage- hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs), single-cell proteomics, genomics and functional assays. We identified a bias towards megakaryocyte differentiation apparent from early multipotent stem cells in myelofibrosis and associated aberrant molecular signatures. A sub-fraction of myelofibrosis megakaryocyte progenitors (MkP) were transcriptionally similar to healthy-donor MkP but the majority were disease-specific, with distinct populations expressing fibrosis- and proliferation-associated genes. Mutant-clone HSPCs showed increased expression of megakaryocyte-associated genes compared to wild-type HSPCs, and we provide early validation of G6B as a potential immunotherapy target. Our study paves the way for selective targeting of the myelofibrosis clone and illustrates the power of single-cell multi-omics to discover tumor-specific therapeutic targets and mediators of tissue fibrosis.

Gene expression data from CD34+ BMMCs/PBMCs from MPN patients vs. healthy controls

Project description:Philadelphia chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) consist of primary myelofibrosis (PMF), polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET) and seconday myelofibrosis (SMF), comprising post-ET-MF(pET-MF) and post-PV-MF(pPV-MF). In this dataset, we compare the gene expression data of bone marrow or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (BMMCs/PBMCs) of CD34+ cells from MPN patients and healthy donors.

Inhibition of CDK6 using Palbociclib in combination with Ruxolitinib markedly improves myelofibrosis in murine models

Project description:Myelofibrosis (MF) is a deadly blood neoplasia that presents the worst prognosis among myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). Expression of CDK6 is significantly elevated in MPN/MF hematopoietic progenitor cells. In this study, we investigated the efficacy of CDK4/6 inhibitor Palbociclib alone or in combination with Ruxolitinib in Jak2V617F and MPLW515L murine models of MF. Treatment of Palbociclib alone significantly reduced leukocytosis, splenomegaly and inhibited bone marrow fibrosis in Jak2V617F and MPLW515L mouse models of MF. Combined treatment of Palbociclib and Ruxolitinib resulted in normalization of peripheral blood leukocyte counts, marked reduction of spleen size and abrogation of bone marrow fibrosis in murine models of MF. Mechanistically, we show that Palbociclib treatment or depletion of CDK6 inhibits Aurora kinase, NF-κB and TGF-β signaling pathways in Jak2V617F mutant hematopoietic cells. Overall, our data suggest that Palbociclib in combination with Ruxolitinib may have therapeutic potential for treatment of MF.

HMGA1 Chromatin Regulators Drive MPN Progression [scRNA-Seq]

Project description:Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) transform to myelofibrosis (MF) and highly lethal acute myeloid leukemia (AML), although actionable mechanisms driving progression remain elusive. The HMGA1 chromatin regulator is up-regulated during MPN progression with highest levels after transformation. HMGA1 depletion in JAK2V617F MPN AML cell lines disrupts proliferation, clonogenicity, and leukemic engraftment. Surprisingly, loss of just a single Hmga1 allele prevents progression to MF in JAK2V617F transgenic mice, decreasing blood counts and expansion in stem and myeloid progenitors while preventing splenomegaly and fibrosis within the spleen and bone marrow. RNA sequencing revealed HMGA1-dependent transcriptional networks that govern proliferation (E2F, G2M, mitosis, MYC targets) and cell fate, including the GATA2 master regulatory gene. Silencing GATA2 recapitulates phenotypes observed with HMGA1 depletion whereas GATA2 re-expression partially rescues leukemogenesis. HMGA1 transactivates GATA2 through sequences near the developmental enhancer (+9.5), increasing chromatin accessibility and recruiting active histone marks. Further, HMGA1 transcriptional networks, including GATA2, are activated in human MF after leukemic transformation. Further, HMGA1 depletion synergizes with the JAK2 inhibitor, ruxolitinib, to prolong survival in murine MPN AML. These findings illuminate HMGA1 as a key epigenetic switch required for MPN transformation and promising therapeutic target to treat or prevent disease progression.
