ABSTRACT: The adaptor protein LNK (SH2B3) has emerged as an important protein in regulating B cell development B cell leukemia. Loss-of-function mutations in LNK (SH2B3) are found in Philadelphia chromosome–like acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph-like ALL), but how LNK regulates normal B cell development or promotes leukemogenesis remains unclear. We found that combined loss of Lnk and tumor suppressors Tp53 in mice triggers a highly aggressive and transplantable precursor B-ALL. This study aims to investigate the molecular mechanism by which LNK regulates B-ALL development. We performed expression profiling of bone marrow proB progenitors from WT, Tp53-/-, Lnk-/- and preleukemic healthy Tp53/Lnk double knockout (DKO) mice, as well as leukemic bone marrow cells from DKO mice that have developed B-ALL. Results suggest that Tp53-/-Lnk-/- B-ALLs display similar gene expression profiles to human Ph-like B-ALLs, suggesting this model for preclinical and molecular studies.

Project description:Drosophila Lnk is the single ancestral orthologue of a highly conserved family of structurally-related intracellular adaptor proteins, the SH2B proteins. As adaptors, they lack catalytic activity but contain several protein-protein interaction domains, thus playing a critical role in signal transduction from receptor tyrosine kinases to form protein networks. Physiological studies of SH2B function in mammals have produced conflicting data. However, a recent study in Drosophila has shown that Lnk is an important regulator of the insulin/insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 signaling (IIS) pathway during growth, functioning in parallel to the insulin receptor substrate, Chico. As this pathway also has an evolutionary conserved role in the determination of organism lifespan, we investigated whether Lnk is required for normal lifespan in Drosophila. Phenotypic analysis of mutants for Lnk revealed that loss of Lnk function results in increased lifespan and improved survival under conditions of oxidative stress and starvation. Starvation resistance was found to be associated with increased metabolic stores of carbohydrates and lipids indicative of impaired metabolism. Biochemical and genetic data suggest that Lnk functions in both the IIS and Ras/Mitogen activated protein Kinase (MapK) signaling pathways. Microarray studies support this model, showing transcriptional feedback onto genes in both pathways as well as indicating global changes in both lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. Finally, our data also suggest that Lnk itself may be a direct target of the IIS responsive transcription factor, dFoxo, and that dFoxo may repress Lnk expression. We therefore describe novel functions for a member of the SH2B protein family and provide the first evidence for potential mechanisms of SH2B regulation. Our findings suggest that IIS signaling in Drosophila may require the activity of a second intracellular adaptor, thereby yielding fundamental new insights into the functioning and role of the IIS pathway in ageing and metabolism.
