Project description:To gain insight into how miR-142 deficit drives a BC-like transformation, we performed RNA-seq on bone marrow (BM) Lin-Sca-1+c-Kit+ cells (LSKs) harvested from normal miR-142+/+ (wt) and miR-142−/− (miR-142 KO) mice, as well as from leukemic miR-142+/+ BCR-ABL (CP CML) and miR-142−/− BCR-ABL (BC CML) mice, two weeks after BCR-ABL induction. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of 24 samples of LSK cells from 4 mouse strains (KO vs WT, KO CML vs CML).

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:Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) may transform from a chronic phase (CP) into blast crisis (BC), which is often incurable. Herein, we report that miR-142 deficit acquired by T lymphocytes contributes to BC transformation by promoting immune escape. We observe that T cells of BC patients lack miR-142 and are fewer and exhausted compared with CP patients. Similarly, BC miR-142−/−/BCR/ABL+/+ mouse presents with T lymphopenia compared with the CP miR-142+/+/BCR/ABL+/+ mouse. In the BC mouse, miR-142 deficit impairs thymic differentiation of lymphoid-primed multipotent progenitors (LMPP) into mature T cells and redirects them toward myeloid lineage. The fewer mature T cells in the BC mouse are enriched with exhausted T effectors. MiR-142 deficit, driven by leukemic blasts-secreted inflammatory cytokines (i.e., IL-6), induces T cell hypofunction by preventing the metabolic reprogramming that allows activated T cells to thrive and expand. This ultimately results in an increase in T cell spontaneous apoptosis and BC immune escape. In fact, NSG mice transplanted with BC CML LSKs and miR-142 KO T cells had shorter survival than mice transplanted with BC CML LSKs and miR-142 wild-typewt T cells. Conversely, BC patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mice receiving autologous T cells and synthetic miR-142 lived longer than those receiving autologous T cells and scramble RNA. Combination of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) plus synthetic miR-142 and/or PD-1 antibody induced a prolonged survival compared to TKI alone, suggesting that harnessing the host immune system with synthetic miR-142 and immunocheckpoint inhibitors along with BCR/ABL inhibition may provide novel therapeutic opportunities.

Project description:We observed that T cells from patients with blast crisis (BC) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) lacked miR-142 and were fewer and exhausted compared with those from patients with chronic phase (CP) CML. Accordingly, the BC Mir142−/−BCR/ABL mouse also presented with T lymphopenia compared with the CP Mir142+/+BCR/ABL mouse. The miR-142 deficit impaired thymic differentiation of lymphoid-primed multipotent progenitors (LMPP) into mature T cells and redirected them toward myeloid lineage. The fewer mature T cells that emerged from LMPP differentiation in the BC mouse were enriched with exhausted T effectors. Leukemic blasts-secreted inflammatory cytokines (i.e., IL-6) mediated the miR-142 deficit, which in turn prevented the metabolic reprogramming that allows activated T cells to thrive and expand and promoted expression of the exhaustion marker PD-1. Thus, loss of miR-142 expression ultimately resulted in BC immune escape and disease growth. In fact, immunodeficient mice transplanted with BC CML LSKs and miR-142 KO T cells had shorter survival than those transplanted with BC CML LSKs and miR-142 wild-type T cells. Conversely, BC patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mice receiving autologous T cells and synthetic miR-142 mimic lived longer than those receiving autologous T cells and scramble RNA. Combination of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) plus synthetic miR-142 and/or PD-1 antibody induced a prolonged survival compared to TKI alone, suggesting that harnessing the host immune system with synthetic miR-142 may provide a novel therapeutic approach for BC CML.

Project description:To evaluate the long-term growth potential of BCR-ABL-transduced primitive human hematopoietic cells, lin- cord blood cells containing an MSCV-BCR-ABL-IRES-GFP (BCR-ABL) or control-GFP transgene (MIG) were injected IP into fetal goats at 45-55 days of gestation. Six transplant goats were born alive. One was examined three weeks after birth and showed GFP+ cells in the blood, bone marrow (BM), liver, kidney, lung, heart, and both skeletal and smooth muscle. FISH analysis also showed the liver of this goat contained BCR-ABL-GFP transgenic cells. The remaining five goats appear normal although, in some, the WBC count is elevated 3- to 5-fold. GFP+ cells, including cells identifiable by FACS as human CD34+ cells, have been detected in the blood of all these goats. The presence of BCR-ABL-GFP transgenic cells in the BM and liver was confirmed by FISH analysis, and quantitative real-time PCR analysis of genomic DNA isolated from unpurified BM cells obtained from three of the transplant goats demonstrated 3-5×104 copies of the transgene per microgram of DNA. Microarray transcript profiling was performed on blood and liver tissues of normal goats, BCR-ABL chimeric goats, MIG chimeric goats, and normal human samples. RNA for human genes was detected in goats transplanted with cord blood cells but not in normal goats, and the RNA abundance of some genes in BCR-ABL chimeric goat blood was similar to or greater than levels observed in MIG goat blood or normal human samples. Quantitative RT-PCR confirmed the differential expression of several genes in goats carrying the BCR-ABL vs. control transgene. These results demonstrate long-term engraftment but slow expansion in a large animal model of primitive human hematopoietic cells transduced with a BCR-ABL fusion gene and transplanted in utero. This novel xenotransplant goat model should be useful for analyzing the initial phases of development of human CML and for assessing new therapies with potential long-term benefits.

Project description:Chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML) is a malignant disorder of the hematopoietic stem cell, which is characterized by the reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 (t(9;22)(q34;q11)) The translocation results in the formation of the BCR-ABL fusion oncogene encoding a protein with constitutive activated tyrosine kinase activity which plays a central role in the pathogenesis of the disease. There are still several open questions with respect to BCR-ABL-induced malignant transformation. A large limitation of the existing data about BCR-ABL effects is that they are derived to a great proportion from human hematopoietic cell lines, BCR-ABL-transformed murine cell lines or fibroblasts and mouse models, which might not be representative for chronic phase CML. A suitable cell population for studies on CML biology are primary hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells from patients with CML. Therefore, we provide in this study a genome-wide expression signature of highly enriched CD34+ cells from bone marrow (BM) of untreated patients with CML in chronic phase. Gene expression profiles of immunomagnetically enriched BM CML CD34+ cells (n=9) were compared with those of normal BM CD34+ cells (n=8) using microarrays covering 8.746 genes. Total RNA was extracted, reversely transcribed, in vitro transcribed and labelled and hybridized to Affymetrix HG Focus Arrays. Following quality control and normalization differentially expressed genes were identified by significance analysis of microarrays (SAM). Comparing both groups 918 genes were significantly differentially expressed (q value <0.1%; fold change > 1.3). Several of the BCR-ABL-induced effects described in cell lines and BCR-ABL-transduced cells could also be found in primary CML progenitor cells as for example the transcriptional activation of the classical MAPK pathway and the PI3 kinase/AKT pathway and the down-regulation of the pro-apoptotic gene IRF8. Moreover, novel transcriptional changes in comparison with normal CD34+ cells were identified. These include an up-regulation of components of the TGFb signalling pathway and the non-canonical Wnt/Ca2+ pathway, a transcriptional activation of fetal haemoglobin genes and genes associated with early hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) such as HoxA9 and MEIS1 and up-regulation of genes involved in fatty acid metabolism, of the thrombin receptor PAR1 and the neuroepithelial cell transforming gene 1. Differential expression of differentiation-associated genes suggested an alteration of the composition of the CD34+ cell population in CML. This was confirmed by immunophenotypical subset analyses of chronic phase CML CD34+ cells showing an increase of erythroid progenitors and a decrease of granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cells while the proportion of HSC was similar in normal and CML CD34+ cells. In conclusion, our results give novel insights into the biology of CML hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells and could be the basis for identification of new targets for therapy. Keywords: ordered

RNA samples were profiled on Affymetrix human U133A GeneChips and examined for differentially expressed genes in CML vs control goats, filtering for signals significantly above background levels observed in normal goat to select for specific human gene expression.

Project description:Comparison of gene expression profiles of CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells from bone marrow of patients with untreated chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) in chronic phase with those from bone marrow of healthy volunteers.

Project description:The biology of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML)-stem cells is still incompletely understood. Therefore, we previously developed an inducible transgenic mouse model in which stem cell targeted induction of BCR-ABL expression leads to chronic phase CML-like disease. Here, we now demonstrate that the disease is transplantable using BCR-ABL positive LSK cells (lin-Sca-1+c-kit+). Interestingly, the phenotype is enhanced when unfractionated bone marrow (BM) cells are transplanted. However, neither progenitor cells (lin-Sca-1-c-kit+) nor mature granulocytes (CD11b+Gr-1+), or potential stem cell niche cells were able to transmit the disease or alter the phenotype. The phenotype was largely independent of BCR ABL priming prior to transplant. However, BCR-ABL abrogated the potential of LSK cells to induce full blown disease in secondary recipients. Subsequently, we found that BCR-ABL increased the fraction of multipotent progenitor cells (MPP) at the expense of long term HSC (LT-HSC) in the BM. Microarray analyses of LSK cells revealed that BCR-ABL alters the expression of genes involved in proliferation, survival, and hematopoietic development. Our results suggest that BCR-ABL induces differentiation of LT-HSC and decreases their self renewal capacity. Furthermore, reversion of BCR-ABL eradicates mature cells while leukemic stem cells persist, giving rise to relapsed CML upon re-induction of BCR-ABL.

Project description:Leukemia stem cells (LSC) are not eradicated in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients responding to tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment. Bone marrow (BM) mesenchymal niches play an essential role in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) maintenance. Here, we examined leukemia-induced alterations in mesenchymal progenitor populations using a murine CML model. 6C3+ stroma-forming progenitors were increased in CML BM, and demonstrated enhanced LSC but reduced HSC support compared to their normal counterparts. CML 6C3 cells showed enhanced TNFa-related gene signatures, and upregulated CXCL1 expression. TNFα signaling contributed to expansion and increased CXCL1 expression by 6C3 cells in CML BM. The CXCL1 receptor CXCR2 was upregulated in in LSC, and CXCR2 inhibition significantly reduced LSC growth both in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, TNFα-induced alterations in stromal progenitors in CML BM result in enhanced CML LSC growth via CXCL1-CXCR2 signaling. Targeting this axis represents a novel therapeutic strategy to inhibit BM niche-protected LSC.
