Project description:Genetic studies have shown that human T-ALLs can be divided into subgroups that are characterized by unique gene expression signatures and relate to stages of T-cell differentiation at which the leukemic cells arrest. Each molecular subgroup has characteristic genetic abnormalities that cause aberrant activation of specific T-ALL transcription factor oncogenes, including LYL1/MEF2C, HOXA, TLX1, TLX3 and TAL1/LMO2. Notably, the recently described Early T-cell Precursor ALL (ETP-ALL) patients have leukemic cells that show an early block in T-cell differentiation and significantly overlap with LYL1-positive T-ALL and MEF2C-dysregulated immature T-ALL. We studied the gene expression profiles of 64 primary T-ALL samples and found a high BCL-2 expression in immature T-ALL patients compared to patients belonging to other subgroups.

Project description:The T-cell leukemia homeobox 1 (TLX1, HOX11) transcription factor is critically involved in the multistep pathogenesis of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and often cooperates with NOTCH1 activation during malignant T-cell transformation. However, the exact molecular mechanisms by which these T-cell specific oncogenes cooperate during transformation remain to be established. Here, we used an integrative genomics approach to show that the oncogenic properties of TLX1 are mediated by genome-wide interference with the ETS1 and RUNX1 transcription factors. Partial disruption of ETS1 and RUNX1 activity by ectopic TLX1 expression in immature thymocytes drives repression of T-cell specific super-enhancers and mediates an unexpected transcriptional antagonism with NOTCH1 signaling. These phenomena coordinately trigger a TLX1 driven pre-leukemic phenotype in human thymic precursor cells, which corresponds with the in vivo thymic regression observed in murine TLX1 tumor models, and creates a strong genetic pressure for acquiring activating NOTCH1 mutations as a prerequisite for full leukemic transformation. In conclusion, our results uncover a functional antagonism between cooperative oncogenes during the earliest phases of tumor development and provide novel insights in the multistep pathogenesis of TLX1 driven human leukemia.

Project description:Relative H3K27me3 enrichment, assessed by ChIP-on-chip, in two TLX positive and two TLX negative T Acute Lymphoblastique Leukemia (T-ALL) samples. Acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALLs) are characterized by multi-step oncogenic processes leading to cell differentiation arrest and proliferation. Specific abrogation of maturation blockage constitutes a promising therapeutic option in cancer, which requires precise understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms. We show that the cortical thymic maturation arrest in T-lineage ALL that over-express TLX1 or TLX3 is due to binding of TLX1/TLX3 to ETS1, leading to repression of the T cell receptor (TCR) alpha enhanceosome activity and blocked TCR-Jalpha rearrangement. TLX1/TLX3 abrogation or enforced TCRalpha/beta expression leads to TCRalpha rearrangement and apoptosis. Importantly, the auto-extinction of clones carrying TCRalpha-driven TLX1 expression supports TLX 'addiction' in TLX-positive leukemias and provides further rationale for targeted therapy based on disruption of TLX1/TLX3.

Project description:The TLX1 and TLX3 transcription factor oncogenes play an important role in the pathogenesis of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL)1,2. Here we used reverse engineering of global transcriptional networks to decipher the oncogenic regulatory circuit controlled by TLX1 and TLX3. This Systems Biology analysis defined TLX1 and TLX3 as master regulators of an oncogenic transcriptional circuit governing T-ALL. Notably, network structure analysis of this hierarchical network identified RUNX1 as an important mediator of TLX1 and TLX3 induced T-ALL, and predicted a tumor suppressor role for RUNX1 in T-cell transformation. Consistent with these results, we identified recurrent somatic loss of function mutations in RUNX1 in human T-ALL. Overall, these results place TLX1 and TLX3 atop of an oncogenic transcriptional network controlling leukemia development, demonstrate power of network analysis to identify key elements in the regulatory circuits governing human cancer and identify RUNX1 as a tumor suppressor gene in T-ALL. This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE33539: Expression data obtained from ALLSIL cell line GSE33540: Expression data obtained from HPBALL cell line GSE33549: Expression data from mouse T-cell lymphomas

Project description:A "Cartes d'Identite des Tumeurs" (CIT) project from the french Ligue Nationale Contre le Cancer (http://cit.ligue-cancer.net). 104 samples; Affymetrix U133A micro-arrays.<br> <br> Ninety two patients with T-ALL were diagnosed and treated at Saint-Louis hospital, Paris. Seven patients were studied at diagnosis and relapse (total 99 T-ALL samples). There were 56 children (median age 9 years old; range 1 to 16), and 36 adults (median age 27; range 17 to 66). Informed consent was obtained from the patients and/or relatives. T-ALL diagnosis was based on morphological and immunophenotypical criteria using flow cytometry and an extended monoclonal antibody panel.<br> <br> Using a combination of molecular cytogenetic and large-scale expression analysis in human T-ALL, we identified and characterized a new recurrent chromosomal translocation, targeting the major homeobox gene cluster HOXA and the TCRB locus. Specific quantitative PCR analysis showed that the expression of the whole HOXA gene cluster was dramatically dysregulated in the HOXA-rearranged cases, and also in MLL and CALM-AF10-related T-ALL cases, strongly suggesting that HOXA genes are oncogenic in these leukemias. Inclusion of HOXA-translocated cases in a general molecular portrait of 92 T-ALL based on large-scale expression analysis shows that this rearrangement defines a new homogeneous subgroup, which shares common biological networks with the TLX1 and TLX3-related cases. Since T-ALLs derive from T-cell progenitors, expression profiles of the distinct T-ALL subgroups were analyzed with respect to those of normal human thymic sub-populations. Inappropriate utilization or perturbation of specific molecular networks involved in thymic differentiation was detected. Moreover, we found a significant association between T-ALL oncogenic subgroups and ectopic expression of a limited set of genes, including several developmental genes, namely HOXA, TLX1, TLX3, NKX3-1, SIX6 and TFAP2C. These data strongly support the view that the abnormal expression of developmental genes, including the prototypical homeobox genes HOXA, is critical in T-ALL oncogenesis.<br> <br> Project Leader: <br> FranC'ois Sigaux<br> Institut Universitaire d'Hematologie<br> Hopital Saint Louis, Paris, France<br> <br> Data submission:<br>Fabien Petel
