Project description:Background: MLL (KMT2A)-EB1 (MAPRE1) fusion was identified in a patient with de novo pro-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia. To investigate the leukemogenesis of MLL-EB1 fusion, a retroviral transduction of MLL-EB1 to murine bone marrow cells was performed. A frequent MLL fusion, MLL-AF10(OM-LZ), was used as a positive control. Results: Two MLL-EB1 immortalized cell lines (ME1 and ME2G), and a MLL-AF10(OM-LZ) immortalized cell line (12G) were generated. Microarray results showed that many genes including Evi1 and Ets1 were differentially expressed in ME1/ME2G and 12G cell lines.
Project description:Expression data from conditionally immortalized MLL-AF9 and MLL-ENL hematopoietic progenitor cells following loss of MLL-fusion oncogene
Project description:The purpose of this study is to investigate the transcriptional programs as it relates to disease latency initiated by different MLL fusion proteins, including: MLL-AF1p, MLL-AF6, MLL-Gas7, MLL-AF9 and MLL-ENL. Leukemia cell lines were established by transforming kit+ mouse bone marrow cells with retroviruses coding MLL-AF1p, MLL-AF6, MLL-Gas7, MLL-AF9 or MLL-ENL. At early phase after the cell lines were established, cells growing at exponential phase (cell density at 0.5~1x106/ml) were harvested for RNA extraction and sequencing purpose. Sequencing is performed on total RNA isolated from mouse leukemia cell lines generated from kit+ mouse bone marrow cells transduced with various MLL fusion proteins and is compared to control total RNA isolated from kit+ mouse bone marrow cells.

Project description:We created a mouse model where conditional expression of physiologic levels of an Mll-AF4 fusion oncogene induces development of acute lymphoblastic (ALL) or acute myeloid leukemias (AML). Immunophenotypic and gene expression analysis of the ALL cells demonstrated bone marrow replacement with B-precursor cells which express a gene expression profile that has significant overlap with profiles in human MLL-rearranged ALL. To examine early, pre-leukemic changes in lymphoid cells due to Mll-AF4 expression, we infected 5-FU bone marrow cells from Mll-AF4stop knocking mice with activating (Cre-GFP) or control (MIF-GFP) retrovirus ex vivo and measured expression changes after culture under lymphoid growth conditions. Experiment Overall Design: Mll-AF4stop knock-in mice were treated with 5-FU and 5 days later their bone marrow infected ex vivo with either Cre-GFP to activate the Mll-AF4 fusion construct or with a control MIG-Cre retrovirus. GFP+ cells were sorted 2 days post-infection and cultured for 14 days under lymphoid growth conditions before total RNA was isolated for hybridization to Affymetrix expression microarrays.
