Interleukin-27 remodels the bone marrow niche to suppress B-cell development and leukaemia progression in mouse models

ABSTRACT: Interleukin-27 (IL-27) is an immunoregulatory cytokine, but its role in B-cell haematopoiesis and B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL) within the bone marrow (BM) niche remains unclear. IL-27 was delivered in vivo using adeno-associated virus. B-cell reconstitution, mixed BM chimeras, and an N-myc-driven B-ALL model were analysed by flow cytometry, transcriptional profiling, and survival studies. Group comparisons were assessed using Student’s t-test, and survival was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier analysis with log-rank tests. Sustained IL-27 expression selectively impaired B-cell reconstitution while preserving overall haematopoietic recovery, with marked reductions in common lymphoid progenitors and early B-cell subsets. IL-27 directly inhibited early B-lineage differentiation and concurrently remodelled the BM microenvironment by downregulating VCAM-1, ICAM-2, CXCL12, and IGF-1. These niche alterations were associated with reduced BM-resident B-ALL burden, enhanced chemotherapy efficacy, and improved survival in B-ALL-bearing mice. IL-27 showed no direct cytotoxicity toward B-ALL cells, supporting an indirect, niche-mediated mechanism. IL-27 constrains B-cell haematopoiesis and B-ALL progression through coordinated progenitor inhibition and BM niche remodelling, revealing a cytokine-driven strategy with the potential to enhance leukaemia therapy.

Mixed-lineage leukemia cells undergo unique adaptations in the CNS niche

Project description:KMT2A-rearranged (KMT2A-r) infant leukaemia can present as a lymphoid, myeloid or mixed lineage leukaemia and frequently involves the central nervous system (CNS), yet the impact of this lineage diversity and plasticity on CNS involvement remains poorly understood. Using a fully murine model of KMT2A-AFF1+ mixed lineage infant leukaemia, we investigated how the CNS niche influences the phenotype and function of leukaemia propagating cells (LPC). Previously defined bone marrow (BM)-derived LPCs were transplanted and shown to engraft the CNS, although not equally; LK/CLP cells were consistently underrepresented in the niche. Transplants of CNS-derived LPCs, modelling relapse, demonstrated reduced systemic repopulation capacity, with many recipients exhibiting stable long-term engraftment without developing overt leukaemia, a phenomenon not observed in BM-derived transplants. Transcriptomic profiling of matched CNS- and BM-derived LPCs revealed enrichment of pathways involved in hypoxia, lipid and cholesterol homeostasis, and inflammatory signalling. Notably, LPC subsets that successfully adapted to the CNS niche upregulated lipid and fatty acid metabolic programmes. CNS-derived LPCs showed increased expression of genes involved in T cell immune modulation, suggesting a skew to a more immunosuppressive environment. These findings indicate that the CNS niche imposes lasting metabolic, functional, and immunological constraints on leukemic cells, impairing their ability to reestablish systemic disease. We show that the CNS niche imposes selective pressures and causes functional reprogramming of mixed lineage LPCs, affecting their systemic repopulation capacity and, we hypothesise, immune cell interactions. We further believe this study has relevance to primary mixed lineage infant leukaemia and, increasingly important, lineage-switched infant leukaemia.

Reduced proliferation capacity of native bone marrow MSC after allogenic stem cell transplantation is associated with clinical outcome

Project description:Engraftment and differentiation of donor hematopoietic stem cells is decisive for the clinical success of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) and depends on the recipient’s bone marrow (BM) niche. Presumably, a damaged niche contributes to poor graft function post-alloSCT, but the underlying mechanisms and specifically the role of BM multipotent mesenchymal stroma cells (MSC) are ill defined. Upon multivariate analysis in a cohort of 732 individuals, we observed a reduced presence of proliferation-capable MSC in BM-aspirates from patients (N=196) who had undergone alloSCT (OR 0.61, p=.028). This was confirmed by paired analysis in 30 patients showing a higher frequency of samples with a lack of MSC presence post-alloSCT compared to pre-alloSCT. This reduced MSC presence was associated with reduced survival of patients following alloSCT and specifically with impaired graft function. Post-alloSCT MSC showed diminished in vitro proliferation along with a transcriptional antiproliferative signature, upregulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition and extracellular matrix pathways and abnormal cytokine release in coculture with hematopoietic cells. In order to avoid in-vitro-culture bias we isolated the CD146+/CD45-/HLA-DR- BM cell fraction, which comprised the entire MSC population. The post-alloSCT isolated native CD146+MSC showed a similar reduction in proliferation capacity and shared the same antiproliferative transcriptomic signature as for post-alloSCT adherence-isolated MSC. Taken together, our data show that alloSCT confers damage to the proliferative capacity of native MSC, which is associated with reduced patient survival after alloSCT and impaired engraftment of allogeneic hematopoiesis. These data represent the basis to elucidate mechanisms of BM-niche reconstitution post-alloSCT and its therapeutic manipulation.

Chulian2021 - feedback signalling in B lymphopoeisis

Project description:Salvador Chulián, Álvaro Martínez-Rubio, Anna Marciniak-Czochra, Thomas Stiehl, Cristina Blázquez Goñi, Juan Francisco Rodríguez Gutiérrez, Manuel Ramírez Orellana, Ana Castillo Robleda, Víctor M. Pérez-García & María Rosa. Dynamical properties of feedback signalling in B lymphopoiesis: A mathematical modelling approach. Journal of Theoretical Biology 522 (2021). Haematopoiesis is the process of generation of blood cells. Lymphopoiesis generates lymphocytes, the cells in charge of the adaptive immune response. Disruptions of this process are associated with diseases like leukaemia, which is especially incident in children. The characteristics of self-regulation of this process make them suitable for a mathematical study.In this paper we develop mathematical models of lymphopoiesis using currently available data. We do this by drawing inspiration from existing structured models of cell lineage development and integrating them with paediatric bone marrow data, with special focus on regulatory mechanisms. A formal analysis of the models is carried out, giving steady states and their stability conditions. We use this analysis to obtain biologically relevant regions of the parameter space and to understand the dynamical behaviour of B-cell renovation. Finally, we use numerical simulations to obtain further insight into the influence of proliferation and maturation rates on the reconstitution of the cells in the B line. We conclude that a model including feedback regulation of cell proliferation represents a biologically plausible depiction for B-cell reconstitution in bone marrow. Research into haematological disorders could benefit from a precise dynamical description of B lymphopoiesis.

Leukaemia cell intrinsic and extrinsic factors cooperate to facilitate the survival and proliferation of KMT2A-rearranged B-ALL in the CNS niche.

Project description:Infant B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL) is a rare, aggressive entity characterised by KMT2A-rearrangements and poor outcomes. One of the unique features of KMT2A-rearranged infant ALL contributes to these poor outcomes is a particularly high rate of central nervous system (CNS) involvement. In this study we used an immune competent KMT2A-AFF1+ infant B-ALL murine model (https://doi.org/10.1182/blood.2020006610) to explore the cell-intrinsic and cell-extrinsic mechanisms that underpin this clinically significant complication. We show novel functional impacts on leukaemia propagating cells (LPCs) following exposure to the CNS niche which results in unique leukaemia repopulation dynamics. Transcriptomic and immune cell profiling comparisons by niche showed differences in the immune microenvironment between the CNS and bone marrow (BM) niches. We observe the CNS niche demonstrates supressed T cell and macrophage activity which may be part of a wider CNS niche-specific immune escape mechanism. Our transcriptomic comparisons by niche also led us to explore the role of PI3K pathway activation in the propagation of leukaemia cells within the CNS niche. We identify miR-93 as a possible master regulator of this process. The importance of miR-93 is emphasised as it is shown to be upregulated in CNS leukaemia cells across multiple murine KMT2A-AFF1 B-ALL model systems and in primary KMT2A-AFF1 B-ALL patient samples. We conclude by showing impaired CNS engraftment of leukaemia cells upon miR-93 knockdown, cementing its importance in CNS leukaemia biology.

Profound Immune Alterations in the Murine CML Bone Marrow Microenvironment Revealed by Single Cell Ph- Macrophage Profiling and Secretory Proteomics

Project description:Macrophages are cells of the innate immune system fundamental to support normal haematopoiesis, fight infection, anti-cancer immunity and tumour progression. However, the function of macrophages in myeloid leukaemias remain largely unknown, due to difficulties in isolating non-transformed cells from the malignant ones. Here we use a state-of-the-art chimeric mouse of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) to study in the impact of the dysregulated bone marrow (BM) microenvironment on bystander macrophages. Utilising single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA seq) of Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) negative macrophages and secretome proteomics of murine c-kit+ stem/progenitor cells we have uncovered that macrophages exposed to a CML environment are altered transcriptionally and have reduced phagocytic function

Leukaemia Exposure Alters the Transcriptional Profile and Function of BCR-ABL Negative Macrophages in the Bone Marrow Niche

Project description:Macrophages are fundamental cells of the innate immune system that support normal haematopoiesis, fight infection and play roles in both anti-cancer immunity and tumour progression. However, the function of macrophages in myeloid leukaemias remains largely unknown due to difficulties in isolating non-transformed cells from those derived from the malignant clone. Here we use a state-of-the-art chimeric mouse model of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) to study the impact of the dysregulated bone marrow (BM) microenvironment on bystander macrophages. Utilising both single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) negative macrophages and secretory proteomics of murine c-Kit+ stem/progenitor cells we have uncovered that macrophages exposed to a CML environment are altered transcriptionally and have reduced phagocytic function. Comparison of CML exposed macrophages to control counterparts by scRNA-seq has demonstrated significant heterogeneity in bone marrow (BM) macrophages, with the CML niche driving two unique subpopulations of immature and anti-inflammatory macrophages. Furthermore, we have identified that CML exposed macrophages can be separated from their normal counterparts via differential expression of surface markers CD36 and TGFBI, thereby providing us with a novel strategy to isolate Ph- macrophages in a CML BM niche. Finally, we have demonstrated that the dysregulated CML protein secretome is partially responsible for the in vivo alterations of macrophages, uncovering aberrant production of the immune modulatory protein lactotransferrin (LTF), and showing exposure to CML secreted factors suppresses phagocytosis, mitochondrial respiration, and inflammatory gene expression in BM macrophages.

Leukemia-on-a-Chip: Dissecting the chemo-resistance mechanisms in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) bone marrow niche

Project description:B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) blasts hijack the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment to form chemo-protective leukemic BM ‘niches’, facilitating chemo-resistance and, ultimately, disease relapse. However, the ability to dissect these evolving, complex interactions among distinct B-ALL subtypes and their varying BM niches is limited with current in vivo methods. Herein, we reconstituted an in vitro three-dimensional (3D) organotypic leukemic BM niche model using a ‘Leukemia-on-a-Chip’ platform and comparatively studied the spatial and genetic heterogeneity of the BM niche in regulating B-ALL chemotherapy resistance. By emulating the leukemia BM anatomy in vitro, we determined that the perivascular and endosteal niches, through providing cytokine (e.g. CXCL12) and adhesive (e.g. VCAM-1/OPN) signals, differentially enhance downstream leukemia-intrinsic NF-κB signaling to support B-ALL survival and regulate cell cycle-related signaling to promote dormancy, which following demonstrated the pre-clinical utility of this microphysiological system to screen concomitant niche-directed therapies. Furthermore, we revealed the heterogeneity across different B-ALL subtypes by mapping subtype-specific leukemia and niche signals with application of single-cell RNA sequencing and analysis, which may contribute to chemotherapy resistance and disease relapse. Together, these results validate that our Leukemia-on-a-Chip allows for real-time and controllable dissection of the dynamic and heterotypic interactions between leukemia blasts and their BM microenvironment, which may translate to personalized therapeutics screening and disease management.

Proteomic analysis uncovers common effects of IFN-γ and IL-27 on antigen presentation machinery components in human cancer cells

Project description:IL-27, a member of the IL-12- family of cytokines, has shown anti-tumor activity in several pre-clinical models due to anti-proliferative, anti-angiogenic and immune-enhancing effects. On the other hand, IL-27 demonstrated immune-regulatory activities and inhibition of auto-immunity in mouse models. Also, we reported that IL-27, similar to IFN-, induces the expression of IL-18BP, IDO and PD-L1 immune-regulatory molecules in human cancer cells. Here, a proteomic analysis reveals that IL-27 and IFN- display a broad overlap of functions on human ovarian cancer cells. Indeed, among 990 proteins modulated by either cytokine treatment in SKOV3 cells, 814 showed a concordant modulation by both cytokines, while a smaller number (176) were differentially modulated. The most up-regulated proteins were common to both IFN-γ and IL-27. In addition, functional analysis of IL-27- regulated protein networks highlighted pathways of interferon signaling and regulation, antigen presentation, protection from natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity, regulation of protein polyubiquitination and proteasome, aminoacid catabolism and regulation of viral protein levels.

IL-27 stimulation in Foxp3+ Tregs improves suppressive function and therapeutic efficacy

Project description:Foxp3 expressing regulatory T cells (Tregs) are the central regulator of immune homeostasis and tolerance. As it is believed that proper Treg function is compromised under inflammatory conditions, exploring a pathway that enhances Treg function is of great importance. In this study, we report that IL-27, an IL-12 family cytokine known to play both pro- and anti-inflammatory role in T cells, plays a pivotal role in Treg function to control T cell-induced colitis. Unlike WT Tregs capable of inhibiting colitogenic T cell expansion and inflammatory cytokine expression, IL-27R-deficient Tregs were unable to downregulate inflammatory T cell responses. Tregs stimulated with IL-27 expressed substantially enhanced suppressive function both in vitro and in vivo. IL-27 stimulation of Tregs induced expression of LAG3, a surface molecule implicated in negatively regulating immune responses. LAG3 expression in IL-27-stimulated Tregs was critical to mediate suppressive Treg function. Finally, human Tregs also displayed enhanced suppressive function and LAG3 expression in response to IL-27 stimulation. Taken together, our results highlight a novel function of the IL-27/LAG3 axis in Treg regulation of inflammatory responses in the intestine. FACS purified Foxp3+ Tregs were stimulated in the presence of media or IL-27 to compare IL-27 induced gene profiles. Four samples (media stimulated or IL-27-stimulated) were collected from four independent experiments. Genes altered by IL-27 treatment were compared to those of media stimulated Tregs.

TNFR1 signaling in sympathetic nerves dampens the inflammatory response in the bone marrow

Project description:Hematological malignancies and cytotoxic therapy induce sympathetic neuropathy in the bone marrow (BM), leading to niche remodeling, disease progression, and impaired hematopoiesis regeneration after myeloablative therapy. Vincristine induces pro-inflammatory cytokine production in the BM, including tumor necrosis factor a (TNF-a), impairs hematopoietic stem cell function, and harms sympathetic neurons. Deleting TNF receptor R1 (TNFR1) in sympathetic nerves exacerbated hematopoietic stem cell exhaustion. Mechanistically, loss of sympathetic nerve-specific TNFR1 signaling prevented the increase of norepinephrine levels in the BM after vincristine treatment, leading to delayed inflammation resolution due to elevated IL-6 production by BM endothelial cells. Therefore, TNFR1 signaling in sympathetic nerves plays a role in the resolution of the inflammatory state after vincristine treatment. Therapeutic strategies meant to reduce inflammation should be considered to prevent long-term hematopoietic damage in cancer patients.
