Project description:Dysregulation of kinase signaling pathways via mutations favors tumor cell survival and resistance to therapy and it is common in cancer. Here, we reveal a novel mechanism of post-translational regulation of kinase signaling and nuclear receptor activity via deubiquitination in acute leukemia. We observed that the ubiquitin specific protease 11 (USP11) is highly expressed in lymphoblastic leukemia and associates with poor prognosis in this disease. USP11 ablation inhibits leukemia growth in vitro and in vivo, sparing normal hematopoiesis and thymus development, suggesting that USP11 could be a therapeutic target in leukemia. USP11 forms a complex with USP7 to deubiquitinate the oncogenic lymphocyte cell-specific protein-tyrosine kinase (LCK). Deubiquitination of LCK controls its activity, thereby altering T cell receptor signaling. Impairment of LCK activity leads to increased expression of the glucocorticoid receptor transcript, culminating into transcriptional activation of pro-apoptotic target genes, and sensitizes cells to glucocorticoids in primary T cell leukemia patient samples. The transcriptional activation of pro-apoptotic target genes, such as BCL2L11, is orchestrated by the deubiquitinase activity and mediated via an increase in enhancer-promoter interaction intensity. Pharmacological inhibition of USP7 or genetic knockout of USP7 in combination treatment of glucocorticoid displayed improved anti-T-ALL efficacy in vivo. Our data unveil how dysregulated deubiquitination controls signaling pathways, leading to cancer cell survival and drug non-response, and suggest novel therapeutic combinations towards targeting leukemia.

Project description:Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable hematological malignancy characterized by the uncontrolled growth of plasma cells in the bone marrow. The major barrier in treating MM is the occurrence of primary and acquired therapy resistance to multiple existing anti-cancer drugs. Often, this therapy resistance is associated with constitutive activation of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) dependent B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling. Novel kinase inhibitors covalently targeting BCR signaling, including the clinically approved BTK inhibitor ibrutinib (IBR) and the preclinical phytochemical Withaferin A (WA), have therefore gained pharmaceutical interest. Remarkably, glucocorticoid (GC)-resistant MM cells overexpressing BTK are more sensitive to WA then to IBR. To further characterize the kinase inhibitor profiles of WA and IBR in GC-resistant MM cells, we applied phosphopeptidome- and transcriptome-specific tyrosine kinome profiling. Our results demonstrate that WA treatment triggers dual inhibition of BCR signaling by transcriptional downregulation and covalent cysteine-dependent kinase inhibition of BTK. Covalent interaction between WA and BTK could further be confirmed by biotin-based affinity purification and confocal imaging microscopy. Altogether, we show that covalent BCR-BTK kinase inhibition by WA represents an attractive strategy to treat GC-resistant MM.

Project description:Gene expression data of glucocorticoid resistant and sensitive acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines for the article: Expression, regulation and function of phosphofructo-kinase/fructose-biphosphatases (PFKFBs) in glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells Glucocorticoids (GCs) cause apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in lymphoid cells and constitute a central component in the therapy of lymphoid malignancies, most notably childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). PFKFB2 (6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-biphosphatase-2), a kinase controlling glucose metabolism, was identified by us previously as GC response gene in expression profiling analyses performed in children with ALL during initial systemic GC mono-therapy. Since deregulation of glucose metabolism has been implicated in apoptosis induction, this gene and its relatives PFKFB1, 3, and 4 were further analyzed. Expression analyses in additional ALL children, non-leukemic individuals and leukemic cell lines confirmed frequent PFKFB2 induction by GC in most systems sensitive to GC-induced apoptosis, particularly in T-ALL cells. The 3 other family members, in contrast, were not or weakly expressed (PFKFB1 and 4) or not induced by GC (PFKFB3). Conditional PFKFB2 over-expression in the CCRF-CEM T-ALL in vitro model revealed that its 2 splice variants (15A and 15B) did not have any detectable effect on survival or cell cycle progression. Moreover, neither PFKFB2 splice variant significantly affected sensitivity to, or kinetics of, GC-induced apoptosis. Our data suggest that, at least in the model system investigated, PFKFB2 is not an essential upstream regulator of the anti-leukemic effects of GC. Generation of the GC sensitive and resistant clones is described in Parson et al. FASEB J 2005 (Pubmed id 15637111). In brief GC sensitive clones were generated by limiting dilution subcloning from the GC sensitive T-ALL cell line CCRF-CEM-C7H2. To generate GC resistant clones the CCRF-CEM-C7H2 cell line was clutured in the presence of 10E-7 M dexametasone. Gene expression profiles of glucocorticoid (GC) resistant and sensitive T-ALL cells during GC treatment and corresponding control samples (cells treated with carrier control). GC induced regulation of PFKFB2 was determined in the various cell lines based on the expression intensities of the corresponding probe sets in GC treated and control samples.

Project description:Receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)-dependent signaling has been implicated in the pathogenesis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) of childhood. However, the RTK-dependent signaling state and its interpretation with regard to biological behavior are often elusive. To decipher signaling circuits that link RTK activity with biological output in vivo, we established patient-derived xenograft ALL (PDX-ALL) models with dependencies on fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) and platelet-derived growth factor receptor β (PDGFRB), which were interrogated by phosphoproteomics using iTRAQ mass spectrometry. Signaling circuits were determined by receptor type and cellular context with few generic features, among which we identified group I p21-activated kinases (PAKs) as potential therapeutic targets. Growth factor stimulation markedly increased catalytic activities of PAK1 and PAK2. RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated or pharmacological inhibition of PAKs using allosteric or adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-competitive compounds attenuated cell growth and increased apoptosis in vitro. Notably, PAK1- or PAK2-directed RNAi enhanced the antiproliferative effects of the type III RTK and protein kinase C inhibitor midostaurin. Treatment of FLT3- or PDGFRB-dependent ALLs with ATP-competitive PAK inhibitors markedly decreased catalytic activities of both PAK isoforms. In FLT3-driven ALL, this effect was augmented by coadministration of midostaurin resulting in synergistic effects on growth inhibition and apoptosis. Finally, combined treatment of FLT3 D835H PDX-ALL with the ATP-competitive group I PAK inhibitor FRAX486 and midostaurin in vivo significantly prolonged leukemia progression-free survival compared with midostaurin monotherapy or control. Our study establishes PAKs as potential downstream targets in RTK-dependent ALL of childhood, the inhibition of which might help prevent the selection or acquisition of resistance mutations toward tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

Project description:Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (Flt3) contributes to a receptor tyrosine kinase signature regulating the cardiac side population
| PRJNA706448 | ENA
Project description:Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (Flt3) is a regulator of hematopoietic progenitor cells. It is a target of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) used for acute myeloid leukemia treatment. Flt3 and its ligand (Flt3L) are expressed in the heart and cardiac side effects occur under Flt3-targeting TKIs. Whether Flt3/Flt3L also regulate cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs), however, is not known. The cardiac side population (SP) is a pool of heterogenous CPCs that can give rise to all cardiac lineages, hence contributing to cardiovascular homeostasis. Here we show that SP-CPCs produce and are responsive to Flt3L. Compared to wild-type, SP-CPCs from flt3L-/- mice are less abundant, with less contribution of CD45-CD34+ cells, and lower expression of gene sets related to epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, cardiovascular development and stem cell differentiation. Upon culturing and compared to wild-type, flt3L-/- Sca1+CD31- SP-CPCs show increased proliferation and less vasculogenic commitment, but differentiation can be induced in the presence of receptor tyrosine kinase-activating growth factors. The observed differences are associated with decreased microvascularisation and global systolic function of flt3L-/- hearts. Thus, Flt3 contributes to a receptor tyrosine kinase signature necessary for the maintenance and functionality of SP-CPCs. These findings have potential implications regarding cardiovascular side effects observed under TKI therapy.
