Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below. Deep sequencing has revealed that epigenetic modifiers are the most mutated genes in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Thus, elucidating epigenetic dysregulation in AML is crucial to understand disease mechanisms. Here, we demonstrate that Metal Response Element Binding Transcription Factor 2/Polycomblike 2 (MTF2/PCL2) plays a fundamental role in the Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) and that its loss elicits an altered epigenetic state underlying refractory AML. Unbiased systems analyses identified the loss of MTF2-PRC2 repression of MDM2 as central to, and therefore a biomarker for, refractory AML. Thus, immature MTF2- deficient CD34+CD38- cells overexpress MDM2, thereby inhibiting p53 that leads to chemoresistance due to defects in cell cycle regulation and apoptosis. Targeting this dysregulated signaling pathway by MTF2 overexpression or MDM2 inhibitors sensitized refractory patient leukemic cells to induction chemotherapeutics and prevented relapse in AML patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mice. Therefore, we have uncovered a direct epigenetic mechanism by which MTF2 functions as a tumor suppressor required for AML chemotherapeutic sensitivity and identified a potential therapeutic strategy to treat refractory AML.

Project description:The presence of disseminated tumour cells (DTCs) in bone marrow predicts poorer metastasis-free survival of breast cancer patients with localized disease, and their eradication improves long-term prognosis. DTCs persist in distant tissues despite administration of adjuvant chemotherapy, ostensibly because the majority of DTCs are quiescent. Here, we provide evidence that the microenvironment of DTCs protects them from chemotherapy independent of cell cycle status. We show that chemoresistant DTCs associate with the perivascular niche (PVN) of distant tissues, and that they are protected from therapies by vascular endothelium. Inhibiting key integrin-mediated interactions between DTCs and the PVN, driven partly by endothelial-derived von Willebrand Factor, sensitizes DTCs to chemotherapy and prevents bone metastasis. Importantly, chemosensitization is achieved without inducing DTC proliferation, or exacerbating chemotherapy-induced toxicities. These results suggest that prefacing adjuvant therapy with integrin inhibitors is a viable clinical strategy to eradicate DTCs and prevent metastasis.

Project description:To further explore the function of Mtf2, the homolog of Drosophila Polycomb group gene PCL, we have employed the mouse whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes mediated by Mtf2. Oligos of 2 different RNAi target sites on gene Mtf2 were cloned into RNAi Vector pSuper and transfected individually into Mouse Embryonic Stem Cell line E14. Empty Vector pSuper and plasmid containing RNAi target against gene Luciferase (Firefly) were performed in the same way as negative controls. The down regulation effect of gene Mtf2 was quantified by real-time PCR in the same RNA samples subjected to microarray analysis. mESC was transfected by RNAi plasmids with resistence of puromycin and selected by Puromycin(1mg/ml) for 2 days. 4 independent experiments were performed for vector pSuper, plasimd pSuper-Luci-RNAi, pSuper-Mtf2-RNAi-1, pSuper-Mtf2-RNAi-3.

Project description:Rituximab/chemotherapy relapsed and refractory B cell lymphoma patients have a poor overall prognosis, and it is urgent to develop novel drugs for improving the therapies of these patients. A new oral histone deacetylase inhibitor, chidamide shows anti-tumor activity by activating the pro-apoptosis pathway in some other hematological malignancies, suggesting its potential application to the relapsed and refractory B cell lymphoma. In this study, we examined the therapeutic effects of chidamide on the cell and mouse models of the rituximab/chemotherapy resistant B cell lymphoma, as well as the primary B cell lymphoma cells. In Raji-4RH and RL-4RH cells, the rituximab/chemotherapy resistant B cell lymphoma cell lines (RRCL), chidamide treatment induced growth inhibition and G0/G1 cell cycle arrest, which were associated with E2F1/2 inactivation and CDK2 degradation. The primary B cell lymphoma cells from Rituximab/chemotherapy relapsed and refractory patients were also very sensitive to chidamide treatment. Interestingly, chidamide triggered the cell death via the autophagy pathway instead of the activation of apoptosis in Raji-4RH and RL-4RH cells, likely due to the lack of the pro-apoptotic proteins in these resistant cells. In the RNA-seq and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis, we identified BTG1 and FOXO1 as the direct target genes of chidamide, which control the autophagy and cell cycle respectively in RRCL treated with chidamide. Moreover, the combination of chidamide with the chemotherapy drug Cisplatin sensitized the RRCL to growth inhibition in a synergistic manner. Chidamide-Cisplatin combination significantly reduced the tumor burden of a mouse lymphoma model established with engraftment of RRCL. Taken together, our studies provides a theoretic and mechanistic basis for further evaluation of the chidamide-based clinical trial for rituximab/chemotherapy relapsed and refractory B cell lymphoma patients.
