Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Abstract T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is one of the most frequent hematologic malignancies resulted from gene mutations and/or genomic rearrangements that occur in T cell progenitors. The 5-year survival rate of T-ALL patients is less than 50%. Much efforts have been dedicated to decipher the molecular events underlying TALL transformation, with the goals to identify specific therapeutic targets and develop new and more effective drugs. As a member of JAK kinase family, JAK3 mutations can be identified in 16.1% of T-ALL cases, and JAK3 M511I mutation is the most common one within all JAK3 mutations. Activating JAK3 M511I mutation induced a lympho-proliferative disorder, that followed by a T-ALL-like disease. PHF6 mutation is one of the most common co-existing gene mutations with JAK3 in T-ALL patients. Co-mutation events of JAK3 and PHF6 account for 1.89%-10.0% in T-ALL cases. However, the role(s) of PHF6 and JAK3 co-mutations in tumorigenesis is unknown. Here in this study, we first analyzed the genetic data of 449 T-ALL cases from multiple clinical centers in which JAK/STAT mutations is about 21% of the total cases. Interestingly, we found that PHF6 mutations were significantly associated with JAK3 mutations in these T-ALL cases (P<0.05), and the JAK3 and PHF6 co-mutation occurred in 7.2% of the cohort. Significantly, the average survival time of PHF6 and JAK/STAT co-mutated group was much shorter than that of the single JAK/STAT mutated group (P<0.05) or none-PHF6/JAK/STAT mutated group (P<0.001). We generated Phf6 KO+JAK3 M511I mice by transplanting JAK3M511I infected Phf6 Lin - cells into wild-type mice. All Phf6 KO+JAK3M511Imice succumbed to leukemia from 74 to 101 days after transplantation with significantly shorter survival time than that of Phf6WT+JAK3M511Imice. The Phf6 KO+JAK3M511I mice showed more aggressive phenotypes of T-ALL than Phf6WT+JAK3M511I mice, including higher counts of WBCs, neutrophils and lymphocytes in peripheral blood, as well as higher degree of extramedullary infiltration in spleen, liver, lung and brain. Extreme limiting dilution transplantation assays demonstrated a marked increase in leukemia-initiating cell activity in Phf6 KO +JAK3M511Icells when compared with Phf6WT +JAK3M511Icells, supporting a role for loss of Phf6 in promoting leukemia blast self-renewal and proliferation. To investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms of Phf6 in accelerating T-ALL development,we performed RNAseq to analyze the transcriptome programing changes associated with Phf6 in isogenic Phf6WT +JAK3M511I or Phf6KO +JAK3M511IT-ALL cells. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) showed up-regulated cell cycle in Phf6 KO +JAK3 M511I leukemia cells. We then performed Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) and found that PHF6 associated with BAI1 gene. qPCR and Western blot showed that the mRNA and protein expression of Bai1/BAI1 were significantly decreased in Phf6KO +JAK3M511Icells in comparison with Phf6 WT+JAK3M511I cells. BAI1 has been reported to prevent MDM2-mediated P53 ubiquitination, and loss of BAI1 reduces P53 level. We found that the protein expression of BAI1 and P53 was decreased, and the ubiquitination of P53 was significantly increased in PHF6 knockdown (KD) MOLT-4 cells (T-ALL) when compared with the control cells. BAI1 overexpression in PHF6 KD MOLT-4 cells significantly increased P53 expression in PHF6 KD+BAI1 OE MOLT-4 cells when compared with that of PHF6 KD cells. It suggested that Phf6 deficiency increased BAI1-mediated P53 degradation. To confirm this, we treated Phf6 KO + JAK3M511I mice with a JAK3 inhibitor (ruxolitinib) in combination with a MDM2 inhibitor (idasanutlin), and found a synergistic response of the treatment within a significant attenuation in leukemia burden in vivo. In conclusion, we found that PHF6 mutation frequently co-existed with JAK3 mutation in T-ALLs, and together they can drive an aggressive leukemia in mice model. Notably, PHF6 deficiency promoted JAK3-induced T-ALL progression by inhibiting BAI1-MDM2-P53 signaling pathway that is independent of JAK3-STAT signaling pathway. We further demonstrated that combination therapy by tofacitinib and idasanutlin can reduce the Phf6 KO and JAK3 M511I leukemia burden in vivo. Our study suggested that combinational usage of JAK3 inhibitors and MDM2 inhibitors may increase the drug benefit for T-ALL patients with PHF6 and JAK3 co-mutations.

AbstractT-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a malignant hematologic disease caused by gene mutations in T-cell progenitors. As an important epigenetic regulator, PHF6 mutations frequently coexist with JAK3 mutations in T-ALL patients. However, the role(s) of PHF6 mutations in JAK3-driven leukemia remain unclear. Here, the cooperation between JAK3 activation and PHF6 inactivation is examined in leukemia patients and in mice models. We found that the average survival time is shorter in patients with JAK/STAT and PHF6 comutation than that in other patients, suggesting a potential role of PHF6 in leukemia progression. We subsequently found that Phf6 deficiency promotes JAK3M511I-induced T-ALL progression in mice by inhibiting the Bai1-Mdm2-P53 signaling pathway, which is independent of the JAK3/STAT5 signaling pathway. Furthermore, combination therapy with a JAK3 inhibitor (tofacitinib) and a MDM2 inhibitor (idasanutlin) reduces the Phf6 KO and JAK3M511I leukemia burden in vivo. Taken together, our study suggests that combined treatment with JAK3 and MDM2 inhibitors may potentially increase the drug benefit for T-ALL patients with PHF6 and JAK3 comutation.

AbstractT-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is one of the hematological malignancies. With the applications of chemotherapy regimens and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, the cure rate of T-ALL has been significantly improved. However, patients with relapsed and refractory T-ALL still lack effective treatment options. Gene mutations play an important role in T-ALL. The NOTCH1 gene mutation is the important one among these genetic mutations. Since the mutation of NOTCH1 gene is considered as a driving oncogene in T-ALL, targeting the NOTCH1 signaling patheway may be an effective option to overcome relapsed and refractory T-ALL. This review mainly summarizes the recent research advances of targeting on NOTCH1 signaling pathway in T-ALL.

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a rare, aggressive disease arising from T-cell precursors. NOTCH1 plays an important role both in T-cell development and leukemia progression, and more than 60% of human T-ALLs harbor mutations in components of the NOTCH1 signaling pathway, leading to deregulated cell growth and contributing to cell transformation. Besides multiple NOTCH1 target genes, microRNAs have also been shown to regulate T-ALL initiation and progression. Using an established mouse model of T-ALL induced by NOTCH1 activation, we identified several microRNAs downstream of NOTCH1 activation. In particular, we found that NOTCH1 inhibition can induce miR-22-3p in NOTCH1-dependent tumors and that this regulation is also conserved in human samples. Importantly, miR-22-3p overexpression in T-ALL cells can inhibit colony formation in vitro and leukemia progression in vivo. In addition, miR-22-3p was found to be downregulated in T-ALL specimens, both T-ALL cell lines and primary samples, relative to immature T-cells. Our results suggest that miR-22-3p is a functionally relevant microRNA in T-ALL whose modulation can be exploited for therapeutic purposes to inhibit T-ALL progression.

Abstract Relapsed/refractory T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) has a dismal outcome, and no effective targeted immunotherapies for T-ALL exist. The extension of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells (CARTs) to T-ALL remains challenging because the shared expression of target antigens between CARTs and T-ALL blasts leads to CART fratricide. CD1a is exclusively expressed in cortical T-ALL (coT-ALL), a major subset of T-ALL, and retained at relapse. This article reports that the expression of CD1a is mainly restricted to developing cortical thymocytes, and neither CD34+ progenitors nor T cells express CD1a during ontogeny, confining the risk of on-target/off-tumor toxicity. We thus developed and preclinically validated a CD1a-specific CAR with robust and specific cytotoxicity in vitro and antileukemic activity in vivo in xenograft models of coT-ALL, using both cell lines and coT-ALL patient–derived primary blasts. CD1a-CARTs are fratricide resistant, persist long term in vivo (retaining antileukemic activity in re-challenge experiments), and respond to viral antigens. Our data support the therapeutic and safe use of fratricide-resistant CD1a-CARTs for relapsed/refractory coT-ALL.

Abstract Abstract 2418 Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is diagnosed in approximately 2500 children per year. Although high cure rates have been achieved for ALL, these cancers account for the highest number of non-brain tumor cancer-related deaths in children. T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive malignancy of immature TCRβ−CD4+/CD8+ T-cells that represents ∼15% of pediatric ALL diagnoses, comprises most of the therapy-resistant ALL tumors, and exhibits a high frequency of relapse. The Ataxia Telangiectasia mutated (ATM) protein kinase activates the cellular response to DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) to coordinate DNA repair with cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation. Somatic inactivating ATM mutations occur in 10–20% of T-ALL and T cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LL) tumors and are associated with resistance to genotoxic chemotherapy drugs and therapy relapse, likely driven by increased genomic instability in cells lacking functional ATM. The impaired DSB response of ATM-deficient cells can be exploited to design combinations of genotoxic drugs that specifically kill these cells in vitro. However, the in vivo potential of such drug combinations to treat T-ALL have not been reported. We sought to develop a pre-clinical mouse model that could be used to test effectiveness of such drug combinations to treat T-ALLs and T-LLs with somatic ATM inactivation. Although germline ATM-deficient (Atm−/−) mice succumb by six months of age to immature CD4+/CD8+ T-cell lymphomas containing genomic instability analogous to human T-ALL tumors, we sought a more physiologic model that would avoid potential complications due to ATM-deficiency in thymic epithelial cells. Thus, we generated and characterized VavCre:Atmflox/flox mice with conditional Atm inactivation restricted to hematopoietic cell lineages. These mice contain reduced numbers of TCRβ−CD4+/CD8+, TCRβ+CD4+/CD8−, and TCRβ+CD4−/CD8+ thymocytes and of TCRβ+CD4+ and TCRb+CD8+ splenic T-cells, mirroring the phenotype of Atm−/− mice. We have found that VavCre:Atmflox/flox mice succumb at an average of 95 days (range 53–183 days) to clonal TCRβ−CD4+/CD8+ or TCRβ+CD4−/CD8+ thymic lymphomas. Evaluation of the bone marrow in a subset of these mice indicates that the lymphoma has disseminated and are classified as leukemia. Our initial cytogenetic analyses of these tumors indicate that they contain both clonal translocations involving chromosome 12 and/or chromosome 14 and deletion of one allelic copy of the haploinsufficient Bcl11b tumor suppressor gene. Hemizygous BCL11B inactivation occurs in ∼20% of human T-ALL tumors, indicating the clinical relevance of VavCre:Atmflox/flox mice as a model for human T-ALL. Our ongoing studies include complete cytogenetic and molecular characterization of VavCre:Atmflox/flox tumors and in vivo testing of chemotherapeutics targeting the Atm pathway in this mouse model of T-ALL/T-LL.

Abstract Upfront resistance to glucocorticoids (GCs) confers a poor prognosis for children with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Using primary diagnostic samples from the Children's Oncology Group trial AALL1231, we previously demonstrated that one-third of patient T-ALL samples are intrinsically resistant to GCs when cultured in the presence of interleukin-7 (IL7), a cytokine that is abundant in the T-ALL microenvironment. Furthermore, we demonstrated that inhibiting JAK/STAT signaling downstream of the IL7 receptor (IL7R) with the JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib (RUX) overcomes GC resistance in these samples. The objective of the present study was to determine the mechanism of IL7-induced GC resistance in T-ALL and to identify novel therapeutic targets to enhance GC sensitivity. We utilized CCRF-CEM cells, a human T-ALL cell line, as a model system in conjunction with primary patient samples. Exposing CCRF-CEM cells to IL7 induced phosphorylation of STAT5, the predominant downstream effector of IL7R signaling. When cultured in the presence of IL7 and the GC dexamethasone (DEX), CCRF-CEM cells recapitulated the IL7-induced GC resistance phenotype observed in patient samples. This resistance could be overcome with RUX, and Bliss index analysis demonstrated a synergistic relationship between DEX and RUX in the presence of IL7. Furthermore, CRISPR/Cas9 mediated knockout of STAT5 (STAT5 KO) was sufficient to overcome resistance, implicating STAT5 as the critical mediator of IL7-induced GC resistance. DEX exposure potently induced upregulation of IL7R expression in CCRF-CEM cells. Using a luciferase reporter construct containing a series of STAT5 response elements, we demonstrated that in the presence of IL7, DEX-induced upregulation of IL7R expression is associated with increased downstream signal transduction, leading to a significant increase in STAT5 transcriptional output. We then performed RNA-seq to further assess the functional consequences of this enhanced STAT5-mediated transcription. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) revealed that STAT5 target genes were significantly upregulated in cells exposed to DEX and IL7 relative to IL7 alone (normalized enrichment score -2.27; p < 0.001; FDR < 0.001), suggesting that DEX exposure augments activation of the STAT5 transcriptional program. One critical component of this program that was induced by the combination of DEX and IL7 was the anti-apoptotic family member BCL2, which was not induced by DEX alone. Further analysis of its protein expression in CCRF-CEM cells confirmed this paradoxical upregulation of BCL2 specifically by the combination of DEX and IL7. Furthermore, BCL2 was not upregulated by DEX and IL7 in STAT5 KO cells, consistent with this being a STAT5-mediated effect. IL7-induced GC resistance could be overcome with shRNA-mediated knockdown of BCL2 and with pharmacologic inhibition of BCL2 by venetoclax. Similar to the effect observed with RUX, Bliss index analysis demonstrated synergy between DEX and venetoclax in the presence of IL7. Consistent with our observations in CCRF-CEM cells, an analysis of primary diagnostic T-ALL samples revealed DEX-induced upregulation of IL7R expression in samples with IL7-induced GC resistance, which was associated with increased BCL2 expression in the presence of DEX and IL7. Finally, we performed a similar analysis in healthy murine thymocytes, and found that CD4/CD8 double negative (DN) and CD4 or CD8 single positive (SP) thymocytes, but not double positive (DP) thymocytes, exhibited profound IL7-induced GC resistance that was associated with DEX-induced upregulation of IL7R expression and increased BCL2 expression in the presence of DEX and IL7. These data are consistent with the known role of IL7 specifically at the DN and SP stages of development, and suggests that IL7-induced GC resistance is a physiologic mechanism of GC resistance in normal thymocyte development that is retained during leukemogenesis in a subset of T-ALL samples. Taken together, these data demonstrate that GCs paradoxically induce their own resistance in a subset of T-ALLs and in normal developing T-cells by augmenting a STAT5-mediated pro-survival program that results in upregulation of BCL2. Furthermore, we demonstrate that inhibition of JAK/STAT signaling or of BCL2 may have considerable therapeutic benefit to enhance GC sensitivity in T-ALL patients with IL7-induced GC resistance.

Abstract Introduction: T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive cancer resulting from the malignant transformation of T-cell precursors. Genetic studies in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) have uncovered a remarkable heterogeneity of genetic defects. Amongst these, NOTCH1activating mutations are the most frequently occurring events (>50%) in T-ALL. Since long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as important players in oncogenesis, we decided to decode the NOTCH1 driven lncRNA transcriptional landscape in T-ALL and normal T-cell development. Methods and Results: RNA-sequencing was performed following pharmacological inhibition (GSI) of the NOTCH1 mutant and gamma secretase inhibitor (GSI) sensitive T-ALL cell line CUTLL1 in a time series experiment as well as for human CD34+ thymic progenitor T-cells cultured on an OP9 feeder layer with or without DL1-triggered NOTCH1 stimulation. First, we validated both model systems by confirming robust regulation of multiple canonical known protein coding NOTCH1 target genes including DTX1, NOTCH3 and NRARP. Next, we identified distinct subsets of NOTCH1 regulated lncRNAs in both experiments with an overlap of 27 commonly regulated NOTCH1 driven and previously annotated lncRNAs. An even larger number of novel, unannotated T-ALL/T-cell specific lncRNAs was found to be NOTCH1 regulated. Next, we took advantage of publically available ChIP-sequencing data for ICN1 and enhancer specific chromatin marks in CUTLL1 (Wang et al., PNAS, 2013), allowing the selection for direct regulated lncRNAs with enhancer properties. Amongst these lncRNAs, the recently described LUNAR1 lncRNA (Trimarchi et al., Cell, 2014) was present as top candidate in our dataset, thus validating this approach for further selecting bona fide NOTCH1 regulated lncRNAs. In a first step towards functional annotation of this subset of selected lncRNAs, we performed so-called guilt-by-association analysis through correlating expression levels of the individual lncRNAs with transcriptome data for all protein coding genes followed by gene set enrichment analysis in a large cohort of primary T-ALL patients. Subsequent enrichment mapping of significant gene sets yielded markedly different gene set clustering patterns for each of the individual analyzed lncRNAs, as well as distinct annotated related functionalities such as cytokine signaling, TCA-cycle, DNA replication and repair and translation. Prioritarization of lncRNAs for further functional validation was performed by measuring their expression in an extended panel of GSI-treated T-ALL cell lines (HPB-ALL, DND-41, T-ALL1 and ALL-SIL), sorted subsets of CD34+ and CD4+/CD8+ double positive thymocytes and an independent T-ALL patient cohort. Conclusion: We present the landscaping of an integrated lncRNA network acting downstream of NOTCH1 signaling in T-ALL and normal T-cells. These data pave the way towards the development of novel therapeutic strategies impacting on hyperactive NOTCH1 signaling. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
