Project description:Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a type of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which commonly occurs in children. At present, chemotherapy is the main treatment for BL, but CHOP treatment regimen has limited effectiveness, requiring precautions against central nervous system involvement and tumor lysis syndrome. Therefore, it is urgent and necessary to find effective and low toxic drugs for the treatment of BL. Valproic acid (VPA), a commercial antiepileptic drug, has been reported to have an inhibitory effect in some tumors, but whether it is effective against BL is unclear. Using CCK-8 test and flow cytometry analysis, we found that VPA could inhibit the proliferation, cell cycle, and promote apoptosis of BL cell lines (Daudi, Raji and Namalwa). Moreover, VPA had a significant inhibitory effect on Namalwa cell line-derived xenograft (CDX) in vivo, and we successfully constructed three BL patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models, and found that VPA had significant inhibitory effects on BL PDX models in vitro and in vivo. Finally, we used RNA-seq, qPCR and Western blotting to verify that VPA could inhibit the growth of BL by down-regulating PFN2 and inhibiting PI3K/AKT pathway. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that VPA was a promising candidate for BL treatment by inhibiting PFN2/PI3K/AKT pathway.

Project description:Hyperactivation of the phosphatydil-inositol-3' phosphate kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway is observed in most NSCLCs, promoting proliferation, migration, invasion and resistance to therapy. AKT can be activated through several mechanisms that include loss of the negative regulator PTEN, activating mutations of the catalytic subunit of PI3K (PIK3CA) and/or mutations of AKT1 itself. However, number and identity of downstream targets of activated PI3K/AKT pathway are poorly defined. To identify the genes that are targets of constitutive PI3K/AKT signalling in lung cancer cells, we performed a comparative transcriptomic analysis of human lung epithelial cells (BEAS-2B) expressing active mutant AKT1 (AKT1-E17K), active mutant PIK3CA (PIK3CA-E545K) or that are silenced for PTEN. For each sample, 500 ng of total RNA were used to synthesize biotinylated cRNA with Illumina RNA Amplification Kit (Ambion, Austin, TX). Synthesis was carried out according to the manufacturersâ instructions. From each sample, technical triplicates were produced and 750 ng cRNA were hybridized for 18h to Human HT-12_V3_0_R1 Expression BeadChips (Illumina, San Diego, CA). Hybridized chips were washed and stained with streptavidin-conjugated Cy3 (GE Healthcare, Milan, Italy). BeadChips were dried and scanned with an Illumina Bead Array Reader (Illumina).

Project description:Neuroblastoma is a pediatric tumor of the peripheral sympathetic nervous system with a highly variable prognosis. Activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway in neuroblastoma is correlated with poor patient prognosis, but the precise downstream effectors mediating this effect have not been determined. Here, we identify the forkhead transcription factor FOXO3a as a key target of the PI3K/AKT pathway in neuroblastoma. FOXO3a expression was elevated in low stage neuroblastoma tumors and normal embryonal neuroblasts, but reduced in late stage neuroblastoma. Inactivation of FOXO3a by AKT was essential for neuroblastoma cell survival. Treatment of neuroblastoma cells with the dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor PI-103 activated FOXO3a and triggered apoptosis. This effect was rescued by FOXO3a silencing. Conversely, apoptosis induced by PI-103 or the AKT inhibitor MK-2206 was potentiated by FOXO3a overexpression. Further, levels of total or phosphorylated FOXO3a correlated closely with apoptotic sensitivity to MK-2206. In clinical specimens, there was an inverse relationship between gene expression signatures regulated by PI3K signaling and FOXO3a transcriptional activity. Moreover, high PI3K activity and low FOXO3a activity were each associated with an extremely poor prognosis. Our work indicates that expression of FOXO3a and its targets offer useful prognostic markers as well as biomarkers for PI3K/AKT inhibitor efficacy in neuroblastoma.

Project description:In Burkitt lymphoma (BL), an aggressive germinal-center (GC) derived non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma characterized by MYC translocations as early transforming event, the apoptotic properties of MYC must have been overcome by pro-survival signals. Whereas activation of the pro-survival factor NFkappaB is not eminent in BL, PI3K signalling, which mediates B cell receptor associated survival signals in mature B cells, might be the cooperating event. Here we prove this hypothesis by the generation of BL in mice upon concordant expression of MYC and activation of PI3K in GC B cells. Unlike existing murine BL-like models, our tumour model fully phenocopies primary human BL and reflects the complexity of the disease with regard to histological appearance, surface marker expression, and characteristic gene expression profiles. Like in human BL, tumour monoclonality indicated a multistep pathogenesis underlining MYC and PI3K as predisposing events that invariably lead to GC-derived BL formation. In accordance, copy number alteration analysis revealed genomic regions involved in BL pathogenesis. All samples were obtained from murine lymphomas (Cgamma1-cre; R26StopFLMYC;R26StopFLP110* animals). Cells used for microarray analysis were sorted reporter positive cells. Tumour cells were compared to a matched germline DANN sample to identify acquired aberrations.

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is difficult to treat due to the lack of biological targets and poor sensitivity to conventional therapies. Chemotherapy is the main treatment in the clinic, but there is still no effective screening strategy for chemotherapy drugs. Several studies have attempted to find the pathogenesis through sequencing, but the integration of transcriptome maps of various tumors for drug discovery has been slow. Drug repurposing has attracted increasing attention in recent years. We first found there were common features between leukemia and TNBC. Therefore, we chose a classic leukemia drug thioguanine (6-TG) as a candidate drug. We utilized RNA-seq and DNA methylation arrays to evaluate its role in MDA-MB-231 cells. Our results demonstrated that 6-TG inhibited cell proliferation by suppressing PI3K-AKT pathway via downregulating the DNA methylation level of PTEN. Moreover, apoptosis was induced via the activation of PI3K-AKT downstream molecular TSC1 and the downregulation of methylation levels of DAXX, TNF, FADD and CASP8 etc., these genes involved in apoptosis pathways. 6-TG presents anti-tumor effects in vitro and vivo by regulating the DNA methylation levels of PI3K-AKT pathway and apoptosis pathway. Meanwhile, we proved transcriptome-based drug screening has potential implications for breast cancer therapy and drug selection.

Project description:Understanding the crosstalk between malignant B-cells and their milieu could provide clues on the molecular and clinical biology of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). Aiming to generate novel therapeutic strategies, different groups have studied different CLL proliferative fractions. We previously, identified one of these proliferative subsets in the peripheral blood from progressive unmutated CLL patients. Since the presence of this small subset appears to be a hallmark of a proliferative disease in which B lymphocytes are being constitutively activated in the proliferative centers of these patients, we performed gene expression analysis comparing the global mRNA and microRNAs expression of this leukemic subpopulation. Our results suggest that the proliferative behaviour of this fraction appears to depend on microRNA-22 over-expression, which induces PTEN downregulation and PI3K/AKT pathway activation. Transfection experiments demonstrated that miR-22 overexpression in CLL B-cells switches on PI3K/AKT leading to FOXO1 inactivation, p27-Kip1 downregulation, and overexpression of Survivin and Ki-67 proteins. We also demonstrated that this pathway could be triggered by microenvironment signals like CD40L/IL4 and more importantly, that this regulatory loop is also present in lymph nodes from progressive UM patients. Altogether, these results underline the key role of PI3K/AKT pathway in the generation of the CLL proliferative pool and provide rationale for the usage of PI3K inhibitors. Two-subset of B cells, QF vs PF. 8 samples of 4 patients.
