Project description:Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) are a group of rare hematological malignancies characterized by infiltration of malignant T-cells into the skin. Two main types of CTCL constitute of Mycosis Fungoides (MF), a more indolent form of the disease, and Sézary Syndrome (SS), the aggressive and leukemic variant with blood involvement. Sézary syndrome presents a significant clinical challenge due to its very aggressive nature, poor prognosis, and treatment resistance, and to date, the disease is known to be uncurable. Histone deacetylase inhibitors have gained attention in CTCL treatment with promising results, but they expose limited specificity and strong side effects. Recent genomic studies underscore the role of epigenetic modifiers in CTCL pathogenesis, prompting an investigation into HDAC10, a member of Class IIb HDACs, in SS. HDAC10 was investigated in different cancers, revealing its involvement in the cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and autophagy, but its role in CTCL is unknown. In this study we aimed to determine the role of HDAC10 in Sezary Syndrome, focusing on its cellular localization, role in cell growth, and potential therapeutic target. We indicated that HDAC10 is overexpressed in SS patients and located mainly in the cytoplasm. Its overexpression leads to an inhibitory effect on apoptosis progression when exposed to the pro-apoptotic compound Camptothecin (CPT). Knockdown of HDAC10 resulted in reduced cell growth and induction of apoptosis and autophagy, highlighting its potential importance in CTCL pathogenesis. Whole transcriptome analysis indicated that HDAC10 is associated with crucial cancer-related pathways for example hematopoietic cell lineage, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, pathways in cancer, Ras signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway or JAK-STAT signaling pathway, which are critical for the survival and proliferation of malignant T cells. Inhibition of HDAC10 with selective HDAC10i increased the sensitivity of Sézary cells to the pro-apoptotic compound camptothecin (CPT). Our findings demonstrate that HDAC10 plays a key role in the molecular background of Sézary syndrome, highlighting its importance in the cellular mechanisms of the disease

Project description:We demonstrate that the combination of the HDAC inhibitor, romidepsin, and the demethylating agent, azacitidine, exerts synergistic anti-proliferative effects and induction of apoptosis involving activation of the caspase cascade in CTCL cell lines as well as CD4+ T cells derived from patients with Sézary Syndrome (SS) with high tumor burden. We identified genes that were selectively induced by the combination treatment, such the tumor suppressor gene RhoB.

Project description:In CTCL, the ectopic expression of Gametocyte Specific Factor 1 (GTSF1) has emerged as a potential prognostic biomarker. High expression of GTSF1 has been associated with a worse overall prognosis for patients. However, the contribution of GTSF1 to CTCL carcinogenesis remains unknown. We performed a shRNA mediated silencing of GTSF1 in three cell lines representing the most common variants of CTCL: Mac2A, representative of primary cutaneous Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma; MyLa 2000, representative of Mycosis Fungoides; and SZ4, representative of Sézary Syndrome. The three cell lines showed different gene expression profiles, signaling the different clinical behaviors of each variant. In Mac2A, silencing of GTSF1 in CTCL led to T cell activation and production of IFNγ and TNFα. This suugests that GTSF1 contributes to carcinogenesis by partially modifying the effector-memory phenotype of the malignant T cells.

Project description:Cutaneous T cell lymphomas (CTCL), encompassing a spectrum of T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders involving the skin, have collectively increased in incidence over the last 40 years. Sézary syndrome (SS) is an aggressive form of CTCL characterized by significant presence of malignant cells in both the blood and skin. The guarded prognosis for SS reflects a lack of reliably effective therapy, due in part to an incomplete understanding of disease pathogenesis. Using single-cell sequencing of RNA at the induction of vorinostat and photopherisis treatment (GSE122703) and at the progression on therapy. We identifed thea decrease conventional SS cell markers on therapy and an increase in the number of cells expressing FOXP3+.

Project description:This study used tumour and paired normal samples from 28 Sézary Syndrome (SS) patients to define recurrent regions of chromosomal aberrations. Our data identified recurrent losses of 17p13.2-p11.2 and 10p12.1-q26.3 occurring in 71 and 68% of cases respectively; common gains were detected for 17p11.2-q25.3 (64%) and chromosome 8/8q (50%). Moreover, we identified novel genomic lesions recurring in more than 30% of tumours: loss of 9q13-q21.33 and gain of 10p15.3-10p12.2. In the Sézary Syndrome cases analysed, we could find several small and few large Uniparental Disomies involving interstitial or telomeric regions of LOH occurring mainly for chromosome 10 and to a lesser extent for chromosome 9 and 17. In the attempt to correlate Copy Number data and clinical parameters we find a relationship between complex pattern of chromosomal aberrations, involving at least three recurrent Copy Number alterations, and shorter survival. Integrating mapping and transcriptional data we were able to identify a total of 113 deregulated transcripts in aberrant chromosomal regions that included cancer related genes such as members of the NF-kB pathway (BAG4, BTRC, NKIRAS2, PSMD3, TRAF2) that might explain its constitutive activation in CTCL. Matching this list of genes with those discriminating patients with different survival times we identify several common candidates that might exert critical roles in Sézary Syndrome, like BUB3 and PIP5K1B.

Project description:Kynureninase is a member of a large family of catalytically diverse but structurally homologous pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) dependent enzymes known as the aspartate aminotransferase superfamily or alpha-family. The Homo sapiens and other eukaryotic constitutive kynureninases preferentially catalyze the hydrolytic cleavage of 3-hydroxy-l-kynurenine to produce 3-hydroxyanthranilate and l-alanine, while l-kynurenine is the substrate of many prokaryotic inducible kynureninases. The human enzyme was cloned with an N-terminal hexahistidine tag, expressed, and purified from a bacterial expression system using Ni metal ion affinity chromatography. Kinetic characterization of the recombinant enzyme reveals classic Michaelis-Menten behavior, with a Km of 28.3 +/- 1.9 microM and a specific activity of 1.75 micromol min-1 mg-1 for 3-hydroxy-dl-kynurenine. Crystals of recombinant kynureninase that diffracted to 2.0 A were obtained, and the atomic structure of the PLP-bound holoenzyme was determined by molecular replacement using the Pseudomonas fluorescens kynureninase structure (PDB entry 1qz9) as the phasing model. A structural superposition with the P. fluorescens kynureninase revealed that these two structures resemble the "open" and "closed" conformations of aspartate aminotransferase. The comparison illustrates the dynamic nature of these proteins' small domains and reveals a role for Arg-434 similar to its role in other AAT alpha-family members. Docking of 3-hydroxy-l-kynurenine into the human kynureninase active site suggests that Asn-333 and His-102 are involved in substrate binding and molecular discrimination between inducible and constitutive kynureninase substrates.

Project description:Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphomas (CTCL) represent a group of hematopoietic malignancies that home to the skin and have no known molecular basis for disease pathogenesis. Sézary syndrome (SS) is the leukemic variant of CTCL. Currently, CTCL is incurable, highlighting the need for new therapeutic modalities. We have previously observed that combined small-molecule inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) β and glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) causes synergistic apoptosis in CTCL cell lines and patient cells. Through microarray analysis of a SS cell line, we surveyed global gene expression following combined PKCβ-GSK3 treatment to elucidate therapeutic targets responsible for cell death. Clinically relevant targets were defined as genes differentially expressed in SS patients that were modulated by combination-drug treatment of SS cells. Gene set enrichment analysis uncovered candidate genes enriched for an immune cell signature, specifically the T-cell receptor and MAPK signaling pathways. Further analysis identified p38 as a potential therapeutic target that is over-expressed in SS patients and decreased by synergistic-inhibitor treatment. This target was verified through small-molecule inhibition of p38 leading to cell death in both SS cell lines and patient cells. These data establish p38 as a new SS biomarker and potential therapeutic target for the treatment of CTCL. Hut78 cells were treated with 4μM Enzastaurin, 5μM AR-A014418, 4μM Enzastaurin & 5μM AR-A014418, DMSO, or no treatment for three days. RNA was extracted and hybridized to Illumina microarrays.
