Project description:Leukemia stem cells (LSC) in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) resist elimination with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) and persist as a source of disease recurrence. LSC populations are heterogeneous, but the most primitive, drug-resistant subsets are not well characterized. Previous studies indicate that variable cell-surface expression of the c-Kit receptor identifies heterogeneous hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) populations. We found that c-Kit expression is reduced on CML LSC compared to normal HSC. Long-term engraftment and leukemia generation capacity was restricted to low c-Kit expressing (c-KitLow) LSC, which showed increased quiescence and inflammatory gene signatures expression. The c-Kit ligand, stem cell factor (SCF), expanded normal HSC but drove maturation of CML LSC. The proportion of c-Kitlow LT-HSC was increased with TKI treatment. Supplementary SCF treatment enhanced elimination of committed but not primitive CML LT-HSC in TKI-treated mice. Low c-Kit expression identifies primitive, treatment-resistant LSC subpopulations with distinct regulatory characteristics, that are critical therapeutic targets.

Project description:Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a stem cell-derived malignancy driven by the BCR-ABL oncogene. Imatinib (IM) is a targeted therapy used to treat CML; however, primary resistance and molecular evidence of persistent disease have been observed in some patients. Recent evidence suggests that exosome-derived microRNAs (miRNAs) contribute to drug resistance and may serve as novel biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and drug sensitivity prediction. This study aimed to explore the plasma exosomal miRNA profiles in patients with CML to identify biomarkers associated with IM resistance. Exosomes isolated from the plasma of patients with IM-sensitive and -resistant CML patients were characterized, and exosomal miRNA profiling was conducted using RNA sequencing. Differential expression analysis identified 13 upregulated miRNAs and 21 downregulated miRNAs. Bioinformatics analysis highlighted pathways related to autophagy and PI3K-Akt signaling. Among the upregulated miRNAs, miR-451 and miR-16 were significantly elevated in exosomes from IM-resistant patients compared with those from IM-sensitive patients. Target gene analysis of these miRNAs was performed. Our findings suggest that plasma exosomal miRNAs, particularly miR-451 and miR-16, can serve as potential biomarkers for IM resistance in CML. These results offer new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying IM resistance and may inform future therapeutic strategies.

Project description:Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) epitomizes successful targeted therapy, with 86% of patients in the chronic phase treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) attaining remission. However, resistance to TKIs occurs during treatment, and patients with resistance to TKIs progress to the acute phase called Blast Crisis (BC), wherein the survival is restricted to 7-11 months. About 80 % of patients in BC are unresponsive to TKIs. This issue can be addressed by identifying a molecular signature which can predict resistance in CML-CP prior to treatment as well as by delineating the molecular mechanism underlying resistance. Herein, we report genomic analysis of CML patients and imatinib-resistant K562 cell line to achieve the same. WGS was performed on imatinib-sensitive and -resistant K562 cells. Library preparation was done by 30x WGS KAPA PCR-Free v2.1 kit, and Illumina HiSeq X sequencer was used for 2 x 150 bp paired-end sequencing. Our study identified accumulation of aberrations on chromosomes 1, 3, 7, 16 and 22 as predictive of occurrence of resistance. Further, recurrent amplification in chromosomal region 8q11.2-12.1 was detected in highly resistant K562 cells as well as CML patients. The genes present in this region were analyzed to understand molecular mechanism of imatinib resistance.

Project description:Background: Tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) resistance is a significant factor exacerbating the burden on chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients and impacting clinical efficacy. The main goal is to offer new insights into overcoming drug resistance in treating CML. Methods: (IM) resistant K562/IM cells were generated using gradient induction. Responses to IM, lycorine, and autophagy modulators were assessed using CCK-8. Protein expression of Beclin-1, Atg5, LC3, Caspase-3, P62, Bax, Bcl-2, and P-gp was detected using Western blot. Lycorine-induced apoptosis and cell cycle changes were evaluated through flow cytometry, while autophagy alterations were detected using Monodansylcadaverine(MDC) staining. In the K562/IM mice model, Non-obese diabetic severe combined immunodeficent(NOD-SCID) mice were subcutaneously inoculated with K562/IM cells. After 17 days of lycorine injection, assessments included tumor size, Hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining, and Ki67 expression. Results: After 72 hours of IM treatment, K562/IM cells showed a 55.86-fold increase in drug resistance compared to K562 cells. Lycorine treatment for 24 hours inhibited cell proliferation and induced G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in both K562 and K562/IM cells. MDC staining indicated reduced autophagy in K562/IM cells, mitigated by lycorine. In vivo experiments demonstrated reduced tumor size and Ki67 proliferation index in the lycorine treatment group (K562+L, K562/IM+L) compared to the control group, particularly in the drug-resistant group. However, no significant change in Ki67 was observed in the K562 group after lycorine treatment. Conclusion: In summary, K562/IM cells displayed heightened autophagy levels compared to K562 cells. Lycorine effectively impeded the proliferation of K562/IM cells through diverse mechanisms, including reduced autophagy, enhanced apoptosis, and induced cell cycle arrest.

Project description:Purpose: We previously demonstrated that immunophenotypically CD34-CD38- TKI resistant LSC/LIC population was clearly heterogeneous. The goal of this study is to explore more about the drug-resistant LSC/LICs Methods: CML patient cells were treated for 7 days with imatinib and live cells were subjected to scRNA-sequencing Results: scRNA-seq reveals heterogeneity in the therapy resistant cells. Distinct expression profiles, yet with an interrelated continuumsuggest the existence of a depply-quiescent persister population within resistant cells. Conclusions: In this study using single cell transcriptomics and single cell metabolomics analyses we identify and characterize a deeply-quiescent/persister CML LSC/LIC population subset of CML patient cells which is highly dependent on FAO for their metabolomic requierements

Project description:BCR::ABL1 drives chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) pathology and treatment, as revealed by the success of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy. However, additional poorly characterized molecular mechanisms, acting independently of BCR::ABL1, play crucial roles in CML, contributing to leukemic stem cells (LSCs) persistence, drug resistance and disease progression. Here, by combining high sensitive mass spectrometry (MS)-based phosphoproteomics with the SignalingProfiler pipeline, we obtained two signaling maps reporting the BCR::ABL1 dependent and independent pro-survival signalling mechanisms, respectively. Crucial oncogenic pathways were deregulated in resistant cells. To unbiasedly discover therapeutic vulnerabilities, we implemented the Druggability Score, a computational algorithm ranking proteins according to their inferred ability to kill resistant cells when suppressed. By this strategy, we identified a novel and unexpected role for FLT3 in BCR::ABL1 independent resistance. Remarkably, pharmacological suppression of FLT3 triggers death of both resistant cell lines and patients-derived LSCs. Finally, we propose midostaurin treatment as a therapeutic option to improve the clinical outcome of non responder patients and eradicate LSCs.

Project description:Chronic myeloid leukemia is a malignant hematopoietic disorder distinguished by a presence of BCR-ABL fused oncogene with constitutive kinase activity. Although targeted therapy by tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) markedly improved patient´s survival and quality of life, development of drug resistance remains a critical issue for a subset of patients. The most common mechanism of TKI resistance in CML patients is a mutation in BCR-ABL gene which makes oncogenic Bcr-Abl protein insensitive to TKI therapy. Mutation independent mechanisms of TKI resistance are less elucidated, but exosomes, extracellular vesicles excreted from normal and tumor cells were recently linked with cancer progression and drug resistance. We used an imatinib-sensitive CML cell line K562 and derived an imatinib-resistant subline K562IR by prolonged cultivation of cells in presence of imatinib. We demonstrated that exosomes isolated from K562IR cells are internalized by K562 cells and increase their survival in presence of 2µM imatinib. To characterize the exosomal cargo and to identify resistance-associated marker proteins, we performed a deep proteomic analysis of exosomes from both cell sublines using label free quantification (LFQ). In total, we identified over 3000 exosomal proteins including 31 proteins differentially abundant in exosomes derived from K562IR cells. Among the differential proteins were three massively upregulated membrane proteins in K562IR exosomes with surface localization: IFITM3, CD146, CD36. We verified the massive upregulation of the three proteins in K562IR exosomes and also in K562IR cells. Using flow cytometry, we further demonstrated potential of CD146 as cell surface marker associated with imatinib resistance in K562 cells.

Project description:Drug resistance from BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and other chemotherapeutics results in treatment failure and disease progression in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). However, the mechanism is still uncertain. In this study, we investigated the role of angiopoietin-1 (ANG-1) as a potential prognostic factor for drug resistance in CML. Both intracellular and secretory ANG-1 (iANG-1 and sANG-1) were overexpressed in multidrug-resistant CML samples. The IC50 value was higher in primary CD34+ CD38– cells with more ANG-1. Silencing ANG-1 significantly sensitized three TKI-resistant CML cell lines to imatinib (IM) while recombinant human ANG-1 failed to retain cell survival in vitro. This indicated the important role of iANG-1 as opposed to sANG-1 in CML drug resistance. Moreover, a similar effect was observed in xenograft mice models bearing ANG-1-silenced CML cells. Subsequently, pathway analysis and protein validation experiments showed activation of the JAK/STAT pathway and augmentation of STAT5a phosphorylation in ANG-1 restored CML cells. Upstream Src phosphorylation, which plays a crucial role in CML drug resistance, was also upregulated as a key event in iANG-1-related JAK/STAT pathway activation. In conclusion, our study elucidated a new BCR-ABL independent molecular mechanism induced by intracytoplasmic ANG-1 overexpression as a potential strategy for overcoming CML resistance.
