Abstract Background Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are two common malignant disorders in leukemia. Although potent drugs are emerging, CML and AML may still relapse after the drug treatment is stopped. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and lncRNAs play certain roles in the occurrence and development of tumors, but m6A-modified LncRNAs in ML remain to be further investigated. Methods In this study, we extracted and analyzed the TCGA gene expression profile of 151 ML patients and the clinical data. On this basis, we then evaluated the immune infiltration capacity of ML and LASSO-penalized Cox analysis was applied to construct the prognostic model based on m6A related lncRNAs to verify the prognostic risk in clinical features of ML. Quantitative reverse transcription PCR was used to detect the expression level of LncRNA in in ML cell lines K562, MOLM13 and acute monocytic leukemia cell line THP-1. Results We found 70 m6A-related lncRNAs that were related to prognosis, and speculated that the content of stromal cells and immune cells would correlate with the survival of patients with ML. Next, Prognostic risk model of m6A-related lncRNAs was validated to have excellent consistency in clinical features of ML. Finally, we verified the expression levels of CRNDE, CHROMR and NARF-IT1 in ML cell lines K562, MOLM13 and acute monocytic leukemia cell line THP-1, which were significant. Conclusions The research provides clues for the prognosis prediction of ML patients by using the m6A-related lncRNAs model we have created, and clarifies the accuracy and authenticity of it.

Abstract Abstract 4375 Leukemia cell lines are ubiquitous powerful research tools that are available to many investigators. In balanced chromosomal aberration in leukemia, a chimeric fusion gene formed by genes existing on breakpoints is frequently related to leukemogenesis. Cytogenetic abnormalities of chromosome band 12p13 are detected non-randomly in various hematological malignancies and usually involved TEL, which encodes a protein of the ETS transcription factor family. Chromosome band 22q11-12 is one of partners of translocation 12p13 and t(12;22)(p13;q11-12) results in fusion of TEL and MN1 or in just the partial inactivation of TEL. It is important to analyze precisely the breakpoint in a non-random translocation such as t(12;22)(p13;q11-12) and in addition it contributes to the better understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of leukemogenesis. In this study, we established a novel human myeloid leukemia cell line, AMU-AML1, having t(12;22) from a patient with acute myeloid leukemia with multilineage dysplasia and analyzed its characters. Mononuclear cells were isolated by Ficoll-Hypaque sedimentation from patient's bone marrow before initiation of chemotherapy and cultured in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS). After 3 months, cell proliferation became continuous. The cell line, named AMU-AML1, was established. In AMU-AML1, the following pathogens were negative for EBV, CMV, HBV, HCV, HIV-1, HTLV-1 and mycoplasma. A doubling time of AMU-AML1 cells was about 96 hours. Proliferation of the cells was stimulated by rhG-CSF (10 ng/ml), rhGM-CSF (10 ng/ml), M-CSF (50 ng/ml), rhIL-3 (10 ng/ml) and rhSCF (100 ng/ml) but not by IL-5 (10 ng/ml), rhIL-6 (10 ng/ml), and rhEPO (5 U/ml). AMU-AML1 was positive for CD13, CD33, CD117 and HLA-DR, negative for CD3, CD4, CD8 and CD56 by flow cytometry analysis. G-banding combined with SKY analysis of AMU-AML1 cells showed single structural abnormality; 46, XY, t(12;22)(p13;q11.2). Double-color FISH using PAC/BAC clones listed in NCBI website and array CGH analyses indicated that the breakpoint in 12p13 was within TEL or telomeric to TEL and it of 22q11 was centromeric to MN1. A chimeric MN1-TEL transcript and fusion protein of MN1-TEL could not be detected by RT-PCR and western blot analysis. The wild type of MN1 protein was strongly expressed in AMU-AML1 compared with other leukemic cell lines with t(12;22), MUTZ-3 and UCSD/AML1. Our data suggest that AMU-AML1 had a t(12;22)(p13;q11.2) without fusion of MN1-TEL and the expression level of MN1 protein was relatively high, which might have some effects on leukemogenesis. In conclusion, AMU-AML1 is a useful cell line to analyze the biological consequences of the leukemic cells with t(12;22)(p13;q11.2) but no fusion of MN1-TEL. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Kagocel® is used in Russia for the treatment of viral infections. In terms of its chemical structure, Kagocel® active ingredient is a copolymer of gossypol polyphenol and carboxymethylcellulose. The study investigated antiviral and cytokine-inducing activity of Kagocel®, as well as its toxic effects. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of Kagoce ® active ingredient on the induction of expression of the innate immune system receptor genes (Toll-like receptors, TLR) in the THP-1 human acute monocytic leukemia cell line with different levels of differentiation. Materials and methods: the effect of Kagocel active ingredient was investigated at the concentrations of 0.2 and 2 mg/mL in the THP-1 human acute monocytic leukemia cell line with different levels of differentiation: non-differentiated monocytes, and monocytes differentiated into macrophage-like cells. Comparative analysis of the activity of TLR 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9 genes was carried out by quantitative RT-PCR. The study determined standard deviations of the levels of gene expression in the experimental cells (2deltaCq ± SD) relative to the expression in the control cells. Results: Kagocel active ingredient at the concentration of 0.2 mg/mL induced activation of TLR2 expression in THP-1 monocytes by 3.5 times, TLR3 by 2 times, TLR4 by 1.6 times, and at the concentration of 2 mg/mL also induced activation of TLR7 and TLR8 by 1.4 times, and TLR9 by 2 times. The levels of TLR2, TLR3, TLR9 induction were significantly higher in THP-1 monocytes partially differentiated into macrophage-like cells, and the highest stimulation level was observed for TLR2 (8 times). Conclusions: the results obtained characterise Kagocel® as a stimulator of TLR genes in the THP-1 cell line. The number of TLR genes induced in THP-1 monocytes was shown to increase with the increase in the product concentration. THP-1 monocyte differentiation into macrophage-like cells enhances susceptibility to Kagocel®. The positive regulation of TLR genes activity may account for antiviral and interferon-inducing properties of Kagocel®, and also suggests the possibility of expanding the use of the product for various immune-associated diseases.

USP16 is a histone deubiquitinase which facilitates G2/M transition during the cell cycle, regulates DNA damage repair and contributes to inducible gene expression. We mutated the USP16 gene in a high differentiation clone of the acute monocytic leukemia cell line THP-1 using the CRISPR-Cas9 system and generated four homozygous knockout clones. All were able to proliferate and to differentiate in response to phorbol ester (PMA) treatment. One line was highly proliferative prior to PMA treatment and shut down proliferation upon differentiation, like wild type. Three clones showed sustained expression of the progenitor cell marker MYB, indicating that differentiation had not completely blocked proliferation in these clones. Network analysis of transcriptomic differences among wild type, heterozygotes and homozygotes showed clusters of genes that were up- or down-regulated after differentiation in all cell lines. Prior to PMA treatment, the homozygous clones had lower levels than wild type of genes relating to metabolism and mitochondria, including SRPRB, encoding an interaction partner of USP16. There was also apparent loss of interferon signaling. In contrast, a number of genes were up-regulated in the homozygous cells compared to wild type at baseline, including other deubiquitinases (USP12, BAP1, and MYSM1). However, three homozygotes failed to fully induce USP3 during differentiation. Other network clusters showed effects prior to or after differentiation in the homozygous clones. Thus the removal of USP16 affected the transcriptome of the cells, although all these lines were able to survive, which suggests that the functions attributed to USP16 may be redundant. Our analysis indicates that the leukemic line can adapt to the extreme selection pressure applied by the loss of USP16, and the harsh conditions of the gene editing and selection protocol, through different compensatory pathways. Similar selection pressures occur during the evolution of a cancer in vivo, and our results can be seen as a case study in leukemic cell adaptation. USP16 has been considered a target for cancer chemotherapy, but our results suggest that treatment would select for escape mutants that are resistant to USP16 inhibitors.

Abstract Heat shock protein 32 (Hsp32), also known as heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), is a stress-related survival factor that has recently been implicated in enhanced survival of neoplastic cells. We here show that Hsp32/HO-1 is expressed abundantly in primary neoplastic cells in various solid tumors and hematopoietic neoplasms such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and in respective cell lines including the AML cell lines HL60, KG1, KG1a, and U937, CML cell lines K562 and KU812, eosinophilic leukemia cell line EOL-1, mast cell leukemia cell line HMC-1, myeloma cell lines RPMI8226 and U266, breast cancer cell line MDA MB 231, lung cancer cell line A549, pancreatic carcinoma cell line BxPC-3, colon carcinoma cell lines COLO201, COLO205, COLO320DM, and DLD-1, and the ovarian carcinoma cell line OVCAR-3. Expression of Hsp32 mRNA was demonstrable by RT-PCR and Northern blotting, and expression of the Hsp32 protein by Western blotting and immunocytochemistry. The CML-specific oncoprotein BCR/ABL and the transforming oncoprotein KIT D816V that is expressed in neoplastic mast cells, were found to promote expression of Hsp32 in Ba/F3 cells. In order to examine the functional role of Hsp32 in neoplastic cells, a specific siRNA was employed. Expression of Hsp32 siRNA resulted in reduced viability and induction of apoptosis in all cell lines tested. To further explore the value of Hsp32 as a target in neoplastic cells, a novel specific Hsp32-targeting compound, styrene maleic acid copolymer zinc protoporphyrin micelles (SMA-ZnPP) was applied. Exposure to SMA-ZnPP resulted in a significant decrease in proliferation determined by 3H-thymidine uptake, in all cell lines as well as in all primary neoplastic cells tested (AML, n=5; CML, n=5; mastocytosis, n=3; breast cancer, n=2; lung cancer, n=1). As assessed by AnnexinV-staining, Tunel assay and electron microscopy, the growth-inhibitory effects of SMA-ZnPP were found to be associated with induction of apoptosis. In each cell type, the effect of SMA-ZnPP on growth was dose-dependent and found to occur at pharmacologic concentrations (IC50 1–30 μM). Moreover, SMA-ZnPP was found to synergize with various anti-neoplastic drugs (tumor cell lines: cisplatin, leukemias: cytarabine, myeloma: bortezomib) in producing growth inhibition. In summary, these data show that Hsp32/HO-1 is an important survival factor and novel interesting target in various hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic neoplasms. Based on these data, it seems desirable to explore the value of the Hsp32-targeting drug SMA-ZnPP in clinical trials in patients with leukemias and solid tumors.
