Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and other myeloid malignancies, are frequently treated with hypomethylating agents like decitabine. Alterations in the epigenome, induced by decitabine, are likely to result in gene expression changes. The effects of decitabine have not been systemically studied using primary AML samples. We cultured 18 different primary AML samples for 7 days, the last 3 days of which included 100 nM decitabine (DAC) or 100 nm cytarabine (AraC). We hypothesized that decitabine treatment would result in detectable and consistent gene expression changes. For comparison, we also analyzed mRNA from cells treated with DMSO control (mock) and mRNA from uncultured cells taken at the time of diagnosis.

Project description:The DNA hypomethylating drug decitabine maintains normal hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) self-renewal but induces terminal differentiation in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. To better understand the basis for this contrasting treatment effect, the baseline expression of key lineage-specifying transcription factor (TF) (eg., CEBPa) and key late differentiation TF (CEBPe), was examined in normal, myelodysplastic (MDS) and AML primary cells and cell lines. To appreciate the role of differentiation in hypomethylation of some CpG by decitabine treatment but not others, promoter CpGs, analyzed by microarray and mass spectrometry, were categorized by the direction of methylation change during normal myeloid differentiation. In MDS/AML cells, high expression of CEBPa, relatively low expression of CEBPe (a gene target of CEBPa), hypermethylation of CEBPe promoter CpG, and the methylation pattern at differentiation sensitive promoter CpGs analyzed by microarray, suggested lineage-commitment and aberrant epigenetic repression of late differentiation genes. DNA hypomethylation in response to decitabine was greatest at CpGs that are hypomethylated during normal myeloid differentiation. In contrast, normal HSPC treated with decitabine retained immature morphology, and methylation significantly decreased at CpG that are hypermethylated during myeloid differentiation. Partial differentiation at baseline, and repression of key late differentiation genes by epigenetic means, likely plays a role in methylation and phenotype responses of AML cells treated with decitabine. Bisulphite converted DNA from the 208 samples were hybridised to the Illumina Cancel Panel 1 GPL9183 methylation assay

Project description:Epigenetic changes play a role in the pathogenesis of myeloid malignancies and hypomethylating agents have shown efficacy in these diseases. We studied the apoptotic effect, the genome-wide methylation and gene expression profiles in HL60 cells following decitabine treatment, using micro-array technologies. Decitabine treatment resulted in a decrease in global DNA methylation, corresponding to 4876 probeset IDs with significantly reduced methylation levels, while expression of 2583 IDs was induced. The integrated analysis identified 160 genes demethylated and upregulated by decitabine, mainly including development and differentiation pathways genes. Genes target of polycomb group protein regulation were overrepresented in this group. Apoptosis was induced by decitabine and apoptosis-specific PCR arrays more precisely indicated decitabine-induced upregulation of 13 apoptosis-related genes, in particular Dap-kinase 1 and Bcl2L10. Correspondingly, in primary patient samples, BCL2L10 was hypermethylated in 45% of AML, 43% of therapy-related myeloid neoplasms, 12% of MDS and in none of the controls.

Project description:The Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array was used to examine the Genome wide transcriptional changes which follow the treatment of AML xenografts with either PBS control or combination of decitabine (DAC) and cytarabine (Ara-C). Animals were treated with PBS, DAC alone, Ara-C alone, DAC and Ara-C combined (D+A), DAC followed by Ara-C (D/A) or Ara-C followed by DAC (A/D). PBS vs each drug combination

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive hematologic malignancy, often characterized by poor prognosis following standard induction therapy. The DNA methyltransferase inhibitor decitabine (DAC) is an alternative to intensive chemotherapy in elderly and relapsed/refractory AML patients. Despite some efficacy, DAC monotherapy does not promote complete remission and overall survival rates are very poor. Therefore, novel therapeutic regimens for AML are warranted. CD105 (endoglin), a receptor for the TGF-β superfamily, is expressed in various hematopoietic malignancies, including AML in which high expression correlates with poor prognosis. We have recently demonstrated that targeting CD105+ AML blasts with the TRC105 monoclonal antibody abrogates leukemogenesis in vivo. Based on these encouraging findings, here we investigated whether TRC105 in combination with DAC could represent a novel therapeutic option to treat relapsed/refractory AML. Treatment of leukemic mice with DAC in combination with TRC105 resulted in superior survival and significant reduction of leukemia burden in the bone marrow (BM) of AML xenografts compared to DAC monotherapy. To determine if TRC105 anti-leukemogenic effect is mediated by NK cells, we performed in vitro and in vivo studies. In the latter, we tested TRC105 in the context of NK depletion by injecting mice with an antibody to CD122. TRC105 treatment resulted in comparable reduction of leukemia burden in xenografts regardless of NK depletion, demonstrating that the anti-leukemogenic effect of TRC105 in AML is independent of NK cells. Altogether, our findings provide proof-of-principle for the clinical evaluation of TRC105 in combination with DAC in AML patients.

Project description:Background: The powerful ‘graft versus leukemia’ effect thought partly responsible for the therapeutic effect of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) provides rationale for investigation of immune-based therapies in this high-risk blood cancer. There is considerable preclinical evidence for potential synergy between PD-1 immune checkpoint blockade and the hypomethylating agents already commonly used for this disease. Methods: We report here the results of 17 H-0026 (PD- AML, NCT02996474), an investigator sponsored, single- institution, single-arm open-label 10-subject pilot study to test the feasibility of the first-in-human combination of pembrolizumab and decitabine in adult patients with refractory or relapsed AML (R-AML). Results: In this cohort of previously treated patients, this novel combination of anti-PD-1 and hypomethylating therapy was feasible and associated with a best response of stable disease or better in 6 of 10 patients. Considerable immunological changes were identified using T cell receptor β sequencing as well as single-cell immunophenotypic and RNA expression analyses on sorted CD3+ T cells in patients who developed immune- related adverse events (irAEs) during treatment. Clonal T cell expansions occurred at irAE onset; single-cell sequencing demonstrated that these expanded clones were predominately CD8+ effector memory T cells with high cell surface PD-1 expression and transcriptional profiles indicative of activation and cytotoxicity. In contrast, no such distinctive immune changes were detectable in those experiencing a measurable antileukemic response during treatment. Conclusion: Addition of pembrolizumab to 10-day decitabine therapy was clinically feasible in patients with R-AML, with immunological changes from PD-1 blockade observed in patients experiencing irAEs.
