ABSTRACT: Differential gene expression analysis of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia cell lines treated with azacytidine and panobinostat alone or in combination and compared to vehicle treated cells.
Project description:Purpose: We applied RNA sequencing technology for high-throughput analysis of transcriptional changes within human MM cell lines JJN3 and U266 due to individual and combination drug treatment. Methods: JJN3 and U266 cells were treated with pan-HDACi panbobinostat, DNMTi 5-Azacytidine, panobinostat+5-Azacytidine or NMP for 4h or 24h in triplicate and transcriptional changes assessed by RNAseq using Illumina HiSeq platform. Specifically, JJN3 cells were treated with 10nM panobinostat, 2.5µM 5-Azacytidine, panobinostat+5-Azacytidine (at given doses), or 10mM NMP. U266 cells were treated with 10nM panobinostat, 10µM 5-Azacytidine, panobinostat+5-Azacytidine (at given doses), or 10mM NMP. Results: We report unique and overlapping transcriptional signatures that lead to the induction of apoptosis in human MM cell lines in a cell-specific manner due to individual or combination treatments. Conclusions: A detailed analysis of differential transcriptional events in human MM cell lines due to HDACi, DNMTi, HDACi+DNMTi and NMP appear to define the molecular events leading to apoptosis and drug mechanism of action. We tested triplicate experiments at 4h and 24hr time points in JJN3 and U266 cell lines against vehicle control treated cells.
Project description:Pediatric AML cell lines (MV4;11, AML-193 and THP-1) were treated with DNA hypomethylating agent (azacytidine) and a pan histone deactylase inhibitor (panobinostat) alone or in combination. Treatment of AML cell lines with these epigenetic drugs synergistically suppresses cell viability in vitro and in xenograft models in vivo. Data show differential regulation of gene expression in AML cell lines by epigenetic drugs at concentrations which retained cell viability at a minimum of 75% even in the combination treatment.

Project description:The bromodomain inhibitor JQ1 and the histone deacetylase inhibitor panobinostat induce synergistic anticancer effects We analyzed whether JQ1 and panobinostat synergistically modulate gene expression Neuroblastoma SK-N-BE(2) cells were treated with vehicle control, 1 microM JQ1, 10 nM panobinostat, or combination of JQ1 and panobinostat for 6 hours, and subjected to differential gene expression studies with Affymetrix microarrays.
Project description:Expression microarray of livers from 4 dpf control zebrafish larvae, larvae treated with azacytidine, and ahcy mutant larvae Comparison of expression from livers obtained from ahcy+/+ treated with vehicle, ahcy+/+ treated with azacytidine, and ahcy-/- treated with vehicle.

Project description:MOLM-13 acute myeloid leukemia cells were treated with 7 µM 5-Azacytidine (Cayman Chemical 11164), or 450 nM CB-5083 (Cayman Chemical 19311), or in combination, or 0.1% DMSO as control. Treatments were conducted for 48 hours.
Project description:Expression microarray of livers from 4 dpf control zebrafish larvae, larvae treated with azacytidine, and ahcy mutant larvae Comparison of expression from livers obtained from ahcy+/+ treated with vehicle, ahcy+/+ treated with azacytidine, and ahcy-/- treated with vehicle. We treated larvae starting at 2 dpf with 1 mM azacytidine or vehicle control. Livers were removed at 4 dpf, RNA isolated, and double amplified.
Project description:Neuroblastoma is the most common extra-cranial malignancy in childhood and accounts for approximately 15% of childhood cancer deaths. Amplification of N-Myc in neuroblastoma is associated with aggressive disease and predicts for poor prognosis. Novel therapeutic approaches are therefore essential to improving patient outcomes in this setting. The histone deacetylases are known to interact with N-Myc and regulate numerous cellular processes, including differentiation in neuroblastoma. We therefore investigated the antitumor activity of the histone deacetylase inhibitor, panobinostat in the setting of N-Myc amplified neuroblastoma using the TH-MYCN murine model. Continuous treatment of tumor bearing TH-MYCN transgenic mice with panobinostat for 9 weeks led to a significant improvement in survival as compared to mice treated with vehicle, or continuous treatment with panobinostat for a three week period. Panobinostat induced rapid tumor regression with no regrowth observed during the treatment period. Tumor response was associated with an initial apoptosis phenotype mediated via up-regulation of BMF and BIM. When treated was stopped at three weeks 100% of mice relapsed with aggressive neuroblastoma. Differentiation of neuroblastoma into benign ganglioneuroma, with a characteristic increase in S100 expression and reduction of N-Myc expression, was observed in mice treated for nine weeks, resulting in a sustained remission on 90% of mice treated. RNA-sequencing analysis of tumors from treated animals confirmed significant up-regulation of gene pathways associated with apoptosis and differentiation as early as 24 hours after treatment. Together our data demonstrate the potential of panobinostat as a therapeutic strategy for high-risk neuroblastoma patients. Eight homozygous TH-MYCN mice bearing neuroblastomas were treated with either 5mg/kg panobinostat (4 animals) or vehicle (4 animals) for 24hr (two doses) and tumours harvested 4hr post the second dose.
