Project description:CXCR4 cDNA transcripts were subcloned into plenti-IRES-GFP vectors, and stably transduced using a lentiviral system In addition to wild-type CXCR4, vectors with the mutations c.1013C>G (p.Ser338*), c.932_933insT (p.Thr311fs), and c.1030_1041delinsGT (p.Ser344fs) were generated. Cell lines were stimulated with 50nM of the CXCR4 ligand CXCL12 (SDF1A) (R&D Systems, Minneapolis MN) for two hours. RNA from each sample was extracted at baseline and at 2 hours. At baseline and following stimulation, RNA was extracted and processed for analysis using Affymetrix Human Gene ST 2.0 arrays (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). Data was analyzed using Oligo and Limma bioconductor packages in R using TMM normalization.

Project description:T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive hematological malignancy characterized by infiltration of the bone marrow and other sites with transformed T cell progenitors. The role of tissue microenvironments in the pathogenesis of T-ALL or any other type of acute leukemia is little understood. In delineating interactions between T-ALL cells and their environment, we initially found that T-ALL cells express high surface levels of the chemokine receptor CXCR4. Intravital imaging of an intact tibia revealed T-ALL cells in direct contact with bone marrow stromal cells producing the CXCR4 ligand, CXCL12. Genetic targeting of CXCR4 on T-ALL cells resulted in a marked reduction of leukemia burden and prolonged disease remission, and disruption of the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis using small molecule inhibitors prevented T-ALL progression in a primary xenograft model. Finally, we were able to show that CXCR4 inhibition significantly decreased expression of Myc and its target genes. Myc expression is a key regulator of T-ALL leukemia initiating cell (LIC) activity, suggesting that CXCR4 inhibition can suppress LIC activity by silencing the Myc response in T-ALL cells. Our data suggest that targeting of CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling could be a powerful new tool for combating T-ALL, a disease with no current targeted therapies. Mouse T-ALL cells were treated ex vivo with Cxcr4 inhibitor AMD3100 or vehicle control. Additionally, mouse T-ALL primary tumors were isolated from control (Cxcr4+/+) or knockout (Cxcr4-/-) animals. Total RNA was extracted from samples using the RNeasy Plus Mini Kit (Qiagen). Samples were then subject to PolyA selection using oligo-dT beads (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The resulting RNA samples were then used as input for library construction using the dUTP method as described by Parkhomchuck et al., 2009. RNA libraries were then sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 using 50bp single-end reads.

Project description:Pancreatic cancer (PaCa) has one of the poorest prognoses among gastrointestinal cancers because of rapid development of treatment resistance, which renders chemotherapy and radiotherapy no longer effective. As the mechanism by which PaCa becomes resistant to radiotherapy is unknown, we established radiation-resistant PaCa cell lines to investigate the factors involved in radiation resistance. We investigated the role of the C-X-C motif chemokine 12 (CXCL12)/ C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) axis in radiation resistance in PaCa and the effect of a CXCR4 antagonist on radiation-resistant PaCa cell lines. As confirmed by immunofluorescence staining, RT-qPCR, and Western blotting, the expression of CXCR4 was higher in the radiation-resistant PaCa cell lines than in normal PaCa cell lines. The invasion ability of radiation-resistant PaCa cell lines was greater than that of normal cell lines and was enhanced by CXCL12 treatment and co-culture with fibroblasts; this enhanced invasion ability was suppressed by the CXCR4 antagonist AMD070. Irradiation after treatment with the CXCR4 antagonist suppressed the colonization of radiation-resistant PaCa cell lines. In conclusion, the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis may be involved in the radiation resistance of PaCa. We believe this result will help develop treatments for PaCa.

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is defined by an accumulation of immature myeloid blasts in the bone marrow. To identify key dependencies of AML stem cells in vivo, here we use a CRISPR-Cas9 screen targeting cell surface genes in a syngeneic MLL-AF9 AML mouse model and show that CXCR4 is a top cell surface regulator of AML cell growth and survival. Deletion of Cxcr4 in AML cells eradicates leukemia cells in vivo without impairing their homing to the bone marrow. In contrast, the CXCR4- ligand CXCL12 is dispensable for leukemia development in recipient mice. Moreover, expression of mutated Cxcr4 variants reveals that CXCR4 signaling is essential for leukemia cells. Notably, loss of CXCR4 signaling in leukemia cells leads to oxidative stress and differentiation in vivo. Taken together, our results identify CXCR4 signaling as essential for AML stem cells by protecting them from differentiation independent of CXCL12 stimulation.

Project description:T cells are essentially involved in safeguarding homeostasis through fighting against the pathogens and malignant cells. T cell immunodeficiency, especially their perturbation in the severe infection, irradiation, chemotherapy, and thymic atrophy in ageing, is detrimental. Therefore, strategies that enhance T cell reconstitution provide considerable benefit and warrant intensive investigation. Here, we constructed a T cells ablation model in Tg(coro1a:DenNTR) zebrafish via administrating a proper volume of metronidazole (MTZ). T cells completely recovered at 6.5 days post treatment (dpt). The nascent regenerated T cells were mainly derived from the immigration of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) in the kidney, the functional homologue of BM. cxcr4b, but not ccr9 nor ccr7, was drastically unregulated in the responsive HSPCs. Functional interference of CXCR4 via both genetic and chemical assays yielded limited influence in T lymphopoiesis but notably delayed T cells regeneration by a destroyed HSPCs migration. In contrast, hematopoietic providing cxcr4b in Tg:(coro1a:cxcr4b) accelerates thymus-replenishment of HSPCs. Correspondingly, Cxcl12b, the ligand of Cxcr4, exhibited impressive increment presentation in the thymic epithelial cells of injured animals. Interfering or overacting Cxcl12b in either cxcl12b-/- mutants or Tg(hsp70:cxcl12b) recapitulated the similarly compromised or promoted T cells recovery as that seen in Cxcr4b scenario. Therefore, CXCR4-CXCL12 axis plays a crucial role in promoting thymocyte reconstitution but did not influence T cell development. Our study discloses a special role of CXCR4-CXCL12 signaling in promoting T cells recovery and provides a promising target to mitigate T cell immunodeficiency.

Project description:Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC) generate hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC), but fail to engraft xenograft models, which is a hallmark feature of adult/somatic hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) from human donors. Progress to derive hPSC-derived HSCs has relied on cell autonomous approaches that force expression of transcription factors (TF), however the role of bone marrow (BM) niche remains poorly understood. Here, we quantified a failure of hPSC-HPCs to survive even in the first 24 h upon transplantation into the BM. Across several hPSC-HPC differentiation methodologies, we identified the lack of CXCR4 expression and network function. Ectopic CXCR4 conferred CXCL12-dependent signaling of hPSC-HPCs in biochemical assays and increased migration/chemotaxis and progenitor capacity, as well as survival and proliferation following transplantation in vivo. In addition, hPSC-HPCs forced to express CXCR4 demonstrated a transcriptional shift toward somatic HPCs, but this approach failed to produce long-term HSC engraftment. Our results reveal that independent of differentiation methods, networks involving CXCR4 should be targeted to generate HSCs with in vivo function from hPSCs.

Project description:The goal of this study was to identify signalling molecules downstream of CXCR4 in breast cancer cells. For this purpose, we sorted CXCR4-positive and CXCR4-negative cells from MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line by flow cytometry and performed microarrays analysis. Three sets of samples, each in quadruplicate, were analyzed. These include CXCR4-positive subpopulation, CXCR4-positive subpopulation treated with SDF-1 (ligand for CXCR4, also called CXCL12) for one hour and CXCR4-negative subpopulation.
