Project description:We used microarrays to investigate gene expression changes in bone marrow B220+ cells from Pax5+/- and wild-type mice after ruxolitinib treatment during 2 weeks. Preventing development of B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), a disease with devastating effects in children, is a longstanding and unsolved challenge in medicine. In humans and mice, germline alterations in the Pax5 gene can lead to B-ALL. Preclinical studies have shown that this malignant transformation only occurs under an immune stress through the accumulation of secondary mutations in the JAK/STAT pathway. Here we describe that transient oral administration of ruxolitinib, a drug targeting the JAK/STAT pathway, can mitigate the risk of B-ALL in Pax5+/- mice. Although exposure to infection strongly potentiates leukemogenesis, the development of B-ALL was significantly impeded by transient in vivo treatment of Pax5+/- mice with ruxolitinib early in life (p-value=0.0332). These findings provided the first in vivo evidence for an effective preventive strategy for B-ALL development in genetically predisposed mice.

Project description:Here we investigated the effects of JAK/STAT pharmacological inhibition on cHL cell models using ruxolitinib, a JAK 1/2 inhibitor. We use five classical Hodgkin lymphoma cell lines: L428, L1236, L540, KMH2, L591

Project description:We used microarrays to investigate gene expression changes in leukemic cells from Pax5+/- mice treated with antibiotics. Precursor B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (pB-ALL), the most common type of childhood leukemia, is frequently characterized by the cooperation of a genetic predisposition acquired in utero and secondary oncogenic events taking place only in a fraction of predisposed children after birth. Although predisposition can be detected at birth, it is currently unknown which factors determine the development of overt leukemia in genetic carriers and how this can be potentially prevented. Experimental studies have shown that infectious stimuli promote disease onset in genetically predisposed mice. Here, we analyzed the impact of the microbiome on leukemogenesis in a mouse model (Pax5+/- mice) that faithfully mimicks genetic predisposition and leukemogenesis of human pB-ALL related to the synergy of genetic predisposition and exposure to a natural infectious environment. Employing 16S rRNA sequencing and machine learning we can accurately predict a distinct gut microbiome which is determined by a specific constitutional genetic variant. Deprivation of the gut microbiome by antibiotic treatment enhanced pB-ALL development in Pax5+/- predisposed (63% vs. 22%) but not in wildtype mice (0%). This finding was observed in the presence but also -to a lesser extent- in the absence of a natural, infectious environment (48%). The composition of the gut microbiome constitutes a biomarker signature and allows to identify specifically those Pax5+/- mice that developed leukemia. This indicates that the gut microbiome can be used to identify carriers at risk to develop leukemia and to reduce this risk by early-life interventions.

Project description:Immune cells need to sustain a state of constant alertness over a lifetime. Yet, little is known about the regulatory processes that control the fluent and fragile balance that is called homeostasis. Here we demonstrate that JAK-STAT signaling, beyond its role in immune responses, is a major regulator of immune cell homeostasis. We investigated JAK-STAT-mediated transcription and chromatin accessibility across 12 mouse models, including knockouts of all STAT transcription factors and of the TYK2 kinase. Baseline JAK-STAT signaling was detected in CD8+ T cells and macrophages of unperturbed mice – but abrogated in the knockouts and in unstimulated immune cells deprived of their normal tissue context. We observed diverse transcription-regulatory programs, including gene regulation by STAT2 and IRF9 independent of STAT1. In summary, our large-scale dataset and integrative analysis of JAK-STAT mutant and wildtype mice uncovered a crucial role of JAK-STAT signaling in unstimulated immune cells, where it contributes to a poised epigenetic and transcription-regulatory state and helps prepare these cells for rapid response to immune stimuli.

Project description:Although the JAK/STAT pathway regulates numerous processes in vertebrates and invertebrates through modulating transcription, its functionally-relevant transcriptional targets remain largely unknown. With one jak and one stat (stat92E), Drosophila provides a powerful system for finding new JAK/STAT target genes. Genome-wide expression profiling on eye discs in which Stat92E is hyperactivated, revealed 584 differentially-regulated genes, including known targets domeless, socs36E and wingless. Other differentially-regulated genes (chinmo, lama, Mo25, Imp-L2, Serrate, Delta) were validated and may represent new Stat92E targets. Genetic experiments revealed that Stat92E cell-autonomously represses Serrate, which encodes a Notch ligand. Loss of Stat92E led to de-repression of Serrate in the dorsal eye, resulting in ectopic Notch signaling and aberrant eye growth there. Thus, our micro-array documents a new Stat92E target gene and a previously-unidentified inhibitory action of Stat92E on Notch signaling. These data suggest that this study will be a useful resource for the identification of additional Stat92E targets. Identification of the JAK/STAT pathway target genes in the Drosophila eye disc Keywords: Genotype comparison Gene expression profiles from five biological replicates of eye discs with yw (control) and GMR-upd (overexpressing JAK/STAT ligand unpaired) were compared using genome wide mRNA expression profiling by Affymetrix genechip arrays (Drosophila 2.0) and key targets were validated by clonal analysis, in situ hybridization, immunohistochemical staining and quantitative real-time PCR.
