Project description:Leukemia stem cells (LSC) are not eradicated in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients responding to tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment. Bone marrow (BM) mesenchymal niches play an essential role in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) maintenance. Here, we examined leukemia-induced alterations in mesenchymal progenitor populations using a murine CML model. 6C3+ stroma-forming progenitors were increased in CML BM, and demonstrated enhanced LSC but reduced HSC support compared to their normal counterparts. CML 6C3 cells showed enhanced TNFa-related gene signatures, and upregulated CXCL1 expression. TNFα signaling contributed to expansion and increased CXCL1 expression by 6C3 cells in CML BM. The CXCL1 receptor CXCR2 was upregulated in in LSC, and CXCR2 inhibition significantly reduced LSC growth both in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, TNFα-induced alterations in stromal progenitors in CML BM result in enhanced CML LSC growth via CXCL1-CXCR2 signaling. Targeting this axis represents a novel therapeutic strategy to inhibit BM niche-protected LSC.

Project description:We find that various HB cell lines including HepG2 cells are consistently and considerably more tumorigenic and metastatic in the P5Tx model than in the P60Tx models. Sc-RNAseq of the P5Tx and P60Tx HepG2 models reveals that the P5Tx tumor is more hypoxic and has more activated hepatic stellate cells (aHSCs) in the tumor-surrounding liver which express significantly higher levels of Cxcl1 than those from the P60Tx model. We find these differences are developmentally present in the normal P5 and P60 liver. We show that Cxcl1/Cxcr2 axis mediates HB cell migration and is critical to HB cell survival under hypoxia. Treating HepG2 P60Tx model with recombinant CXCL1 protein induces multifocal intrahepatic and pulmonary metastasis and CXCR2 knockout in HepG2 cells abolishes their metastatic potential in the P5Tx model. Lastly, we show that in metastatic HB patient tumors there is a similar larger population of aHSCs in the tumor-surrounding liver than the localized tumors, and tumor hypoxia is significantly associated with HB patient prognosis.

Project description:BACKGROUND: BCR-ABL1+ chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by abnormal production of leukemic stem (LSC) and progenitor cells and their spread from the bone marrow into the blood resulting in extramedullary myeloproliferation. So far, little is known about specific markers and functions of LSC in CML. METHODS: We examined the phenotype and function of CD34+/CD38─/Lin─ CML LSC by a multi-parameter screen approach employing antibody-phenotyping, mRNA expression profiling, and functional studies, including LSC repopulation experiments in irradiated NOD-SCID-IL-2Rgamma-/- (NSG) mice, followed by marker-validation using diverse control-cohorts and follow-up samples of CML patients treated with imatinib. RESULTS: Of all LSC markers examined, dipeptidylpeptidase IV (DPPIV=CD26) was identified as specific and functionally relevant surface marker-enzyme on CD34+/CD38─ CML LSC. CD26 was not detected on normal CD34+/CD38─ stem cells or LSC in other hematopoietic malignancies. The percentage of CD26+ CML LSC decreased to undetectable levels during successful treatment with imatinib in all patients (p<0.001). Whereas the sorted CD26─ stem cells obtained from CML patients engrafted irradiated NSG mice with multilineage BCR-ABL1-negative hematopoiesis, CD26+ LSC engrafted NSG mice with BCR-ABL1+ cells. Functionally, CD26 was identified as target-enzyme disrupting the SDF-1alpha-CXCR4-axis by cleaving SDF-1alpha a chemotaxin for CXCR4+ stem cells. Whereas CD26 was found to inhibit SDF-1alpha-induced migration, CD26-targeting gliptins reverted this effect and blocked the mobilization of CML LSC in a stroma co-culture assay. CONCLUSIONS: CD26 is a robust biomarker of LSC and a useful tool for their quantification and isolation in patients with BCR/ABL1+ CML. Moreover, CD26 expression may explain the extramedullary spread of LSC in CML. To define specific mRNA expression patterns and to identify specific LSC markers in CML LSC, gene array analyses were performed. RNA was isolated from sorted CD34+/CD45+/CD38─ CML LSC, CD34+/CD45+/CD38+ CML progenitor cells, CML MNC, sorted CD34+/CD38─ cord blood (CB) SC, CB-derived CD34+/CD38+ progenitor cells, and CB MNC. Total RNA was extracted from sorted cells using RNeasy Micro-Kit (Qiagen) and used (100 ng total RNA) for Gene Chip analyses. Preparation of terminal-labeled cRNA, hybridization to genome-wide human PrimeView GeneChips (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA) and scanning of arrays were carried out according to the manufacturer's protocols (https://www.affymetrix.com). Robust Multichip Average (RMA) signal extraction and normalization were performed according to http://www.bioconductor.org/ as described.18 Differences in mRNA expression levels (from multiple paired samples) were calculated as mRNA ratio of i) CML LSC versus CB SC, ii) CML LSC versus CD34+/CD38+ CML progenitors, and normal cord blood SC versus cord blood progenitors. To calculate differential gene expression between individual sample groups where appropriate, we performed a statistical comparison using the LIMMA package as described previously. Briefly, LIMMA estimates the fold change between predefined sample groups by fitting a linear model and using an empirical Bayes method to moderate the standard errors of the estimated log-fold changes for each probe set.

Project description:Hepatoblastoma (HB) is the most common pediatric liver cancer. Its exclusive occurrence in very young children leads us to investigating whether the immature liver provides a protumorigenic niche to HB development. We employed the single-cell RNA-sequencing (sc-RNAseq) to comprehensively profile the HB tumors and their microenvironment in the orthotopic transplantation models established in postnatal day 5 and 60. We demonstrated that the neonatal liver provides a prometastatic niche to HB development via Cxcl1/Cxcr2 axis-mediated HB-aHSC interaction.

Project description:Lysine (K)-specific demethylase 6A (KDM6A) is a frequently mutated tumor suppressor gene in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, how KDM6A loss impacts PDAC tumor immune microenvironment is not known. Tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in the tumor microenvironment contribute to PDAC progression. This study used genetically engineered pancreas-specific Kdm6a-knockout PDAC mouse model and human PDAC tissue samples to demonstrate that KDM6A loss correlates with increased TANs and NETs formation. Genome-wide Bru-seq analysis showed that the expression of many chemotactic cytokines, especially CXC motif chemokine ligand 1 (CXCL1), were upregulated in KDM6A-knockout PDAC cells. We confirmed that KDM6A-deficient PDAC cells secreted higher levels of CXCL1 protein, which in turn recruits neutrophils. Furthermore, the CXCL1 neutralizing antibody blocked the chemotactic and NETs-promoting property of KDM6A-deficient PDAC cells and tumor growth in a syngeneic orthotopic xenograft mouse model, confirming that CXCL1 was the main mediator of chemotaxis and PDAC growth in this model. These findings shed light on how KDM6A regulates tumor immune microenvironment and PDAC progression and suggest that the CXCL1-CXCR2 axis may be a candidate target for treating PDACs with KDM6A loss.

Project description:Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) are highly effective in treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) but do not eliminate leukemia stem cells (LSC), which remain a potential source of relapse. TKI treatment effectively inhibits BCR-ABL kinase activity in CML LSC, suggesting that additional kinase-independent mechanisms contribute to LSC preservation. We investigated whether signals from the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment protect CML LSC from TKI treatment. Coculture with human BM mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) significantly inhibited apoptosis and preserved CML stem/progenitor cells following TKI exposure, maintaining colony forming ability and engraftment potential in immunodeficient mice. We found that the N-Cadherin receptor plays an important role in MSC-mediated protection of CML progenitors from TKI. N-Cadherin-mediated adhesion to MSC was associated with increased cytoplasmic N-Cadherin-β-catenin complex formation, as well as enhanced β-catenin nuclear translocation and transcriptional activity. Increased exogenous Wnt-mediated β-catenin signaling played an important role in MSC-mediated protection of CML progenitors from TKI treatment. Our results reveal a close interplay between N-Cadherin and the Wnt-β-catenin pathway in protecting CML LSC during TKI treatment. Importantly, these results reveal novel mechanisms of resistance of CML LSC to TKI treatment, and suggest new targets for treatment designed to eradicate residual LSC in CML patients.

Project description:Purpose: We previously demonstrated that immunophenotypically CD34-CD38- TKI resistant LSC/LIC population was clearly heterogeneous. The goal of this study is to explore more about the drug-resistant LSC/LICs Methods: CML patient cells were treated for 7 days with imatinib and live cells were subjected to scRNA-sequencing Results: scRNA-seq reveals heterogeneity in the therapy resistant cells. Distinct expression profiles, yet with an interrelated continuumsuggest the existence of a depply-quiescent persister population within resistant cells. Conclusions: In this study using single cell transcriptomics and single cell metabolomics analyses we identify and characterize a deeply-quiescent/persister CML LSC/LIC population subset of CML patient cells which is highly dependent on FAO for their metabolomic requierements
