Full textAcute myeloid leukemia (AML) has a very poor 5-year survival of ~20% in Europe. The internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutation of the Fms-like receptor tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) (FLT3-ITD) is the most frequent mutation (~25%) in normal karyotype AML. In recent clinical studies, few patients display prolonged remissions with receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitors, such as FLT3 inhibitors (FLT3i) therapy, highlighting a substantial unmet need for novel effective treatment. Persistence of leukemia stem cells (LSC) drive AML leukemogenesis, responsible for drug resistance and disease relapse following conventional chemotherapy. Growing evidence recognizes that FLT3-ITD mutation leads to the constitutive activation of FLT3 kinase and its downstream pathways, including PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling, strongly associated with LSC survival and crosstalk between LSC and stromal cells associated bone marrow (BM) tumor environment (TME). The TME provides protection of FLT3-ITD AML cells against FLT3 inhibitors. Thus, the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway may represent as a putative target for FLT3-ITD AML. This study aims to test the hypothesis that PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibition could sensitize FLT3-ITD AML cells to RTKi-lead targeted therapy using human AML cell lines and primary patient blasts. First, I uncover the phenotypic profile of FLT3-ITD versus FLT3 wildtype cell lines following treatment with selected FLT3i or PI3K/AKT/mTORi that have failed treatment of AML as monotherapy in clinical studies. More specifically, I determine the drug efficacy by means of cell growth measurement and assessment of cell cycle status and apoptosis. I was able to demonstrate that BAY-806946 (pan PI3Ki) and PF-04691502 (dual PI3K/mTORi) exerted growth inhibitory activity caused by G1 cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, and this effect was irrespective of FLT3 status. Quizartinib (FLT3i) selectively inhibited cell growth in FLT3-ITD AML and this effect was mainly caused by apoptosis. The observed drug-induced apoptotic effect was however not as efficient as chemotherapy. Next, I provide proof-of-concept for the combination of quizartinib and BAY-806946 using both FLT3-ITD AML cell lines and primary patient blasts. When evaluating on primary patient blasts, I take into consideration the protective role of mesenchymal stromal cells and physiological growth factors to mimic the BM microenvironment. Hereby, I co-cultured FLT3-ITD AML blasts with stromal cell line MS-5 and added growth factors essential for AML survival and differentiation such as IL-3, TPO and G-CSF at physiological concentration. As expected, treatment with BAY-806946 enhanced both cytostatic and cytotoxic effect of quizartinib in FLT3-ITD AML cell line MOLM-13 as well as primary patient blasts in co-culture. More importantly, enhanced apoptosis was measured in the stem cell like CD34+CD38- population. Lastly, I elucidate the cytokine profile and persistent phosphoproteins as putative targets following combination treatment. Ultimately, this study demonstrates the potential of PI3K/AKT/mTORi to enhance the efficacy of RTKi quizartinib for the treatment of FLT3-ITD AML.

Full textEmploying the transgenic animal model BALB-NeuT, the outcome of neu-mediated tumorigenesis was compared following vaccination with isogenic normal rat ErbB2/Neu (LTR-Neu) or xenogeneic human ErbB receptors (LTR-EGFR, LTR-ErbB2, LTR-ErbB3 and LTR-ErbB4), both recombinantly expressed in an NIH3T3 murine cell background, or following vaccination with neu-recombinant Vaccinia virus (rV-neu). Vaccination using rat LTR-Neu at the stage of atypical hyperplasia potently inhibited neu-mediated mammary tumorigenesis. Moreover, all human ErbB receptors specifically interfered with tumor development in BALB-NeuT mice. Relative increase in tumor-free survival and reduction in tumor incidence corresponded to structural similarity shared with the etiologic neu oncogene. The rat orthologue LTR-Neu proved most effective followed by the human homologue LTR-ErbB2 and then the other three human ErbB receptors. Vaccination resulted in high titer of specific serum antibodies whose tumor-inhibitory effects correlated with cross-reactivity to purified rat Neu extracellular domain in vitro. Furthermore, a T cell response specific for peptide epitopes of rat Neu was elicited in spleen cells of mice immunized with LTR-Neu and was remotely detectable for discrete peptides upon vaccination with LTR-ErbB2 and LTR-EGFR. The most pronounced tumor inhibition by LTR-Neu vaccination was associated with leukocyte infiltrate and tumor necrosis in vivo, while immune sera specifically induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis of BALB-NeuT tumor cells in vitro. Moreover, the multiple vaccination employing the neu-recombinant virus also resulted in a specific inhibition of neu-mediated tumorigenesis. The resulting inhibition was comparable with the allogeneic immunization schedule when started early in tumor development but gave higher protection when the vaccination was started later in tumor onset.

Full textWhen environmental conditions are unfavorable to the growth, Bacillus and Clostridium bacteria (including Clostridium botulinum, the causative agent of foodborne botulism) form endospores, metabolically dormant cell types resistant to several adverse conditions and difficult to kill. However, under suitable conditions, spores resume the vegetative life by triggering the germination process. Thus, spores are dangerous agents of human foodborne disease and food spoilage. In this work, the strain Clostridium sporogenes UC9000, isolated from raw milk, was used like not-pathogenic model of Clostridium botulinum to better understand the mechanisms underpinning the Clostridium germination. Clostridium sporogenes is a species phylogenetically related to Clostridium botulinum and often used like its surrogate. Physiological studies revealed that UC9000 spores germinate in presence of L-alanine/L-cysteine in combination with L-lactate, while in silico analyses allowed the identification of homologues of the Bacillus germinant receptors responsive to L-alanine. The genome screening also detected genes coding for SleB, CwlJ and SleL, enzymes participating to the cortex degradation. CwlJ was found resident in the spore coat by performing a proteomic analysis, it was expressed in soluble form in E. coli and an in vitro assay of activity revealed its capability to induce germination when added exogenously to decoated spores

Full textNicotine is known to induce effects at molecular and cellular levels and to affect the whole organism and its behaviour. Nicotine binds to a group of receptors, nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). They are protein structures composed of five subunits, which are arranged to form a cation channel through the cell membrane. Many different subunits exist and they can assemble in a variety of combinations giving rise to many forms of nAChRs. When a ligand, such as nicotine, binds to nAChRs the permeabiliy of the channels may change. Different nAChRs show differences in their permeability to various cations. The homomeric alpha7 subunit containing nAChR shows the highest fractional Ca2+ current among nAChRs in the nervous system. Choline, the degradation product of the natural nAChR ligand acetylcholine, is a full and selective agonist of alpha7 nAChRs. Some nAChRs can mediate fast synaptic transmission, but modulatory functions of nAChRs are thought to be more common. Presynaptically localized, nAChRs may be involved in modulation of neurotransmitter release. At postsynaptic and somal sites nAChRs may have modulatory effects both at synaptic and cellular level. Many of the modulatory effects in which nAChRs are thought to be involved require calcium signals, i.e. changes of intracellular calcium concentration. Since alpha7 nAChRs have a high permeability for Ca2+, they are thought to be involved in many of these effects. When the environment changes, a cell can try to adapt to the new situation. Two examples of neuroadaptation are changes of intracellular calcium concentration [Ca2+]i and changes of protein levels. Both nAChRs and neurotrophic factors, such as neurotrophins and their receptors (NTRs), can be involved in these two forms of neuroadaptation. The first part of this work aims to investigate the role of nAChRs on calcium signals and is based upon different imaging studies, such as fluorescence immuno-cytochemistry and calcium imaging. The second part is based on Western blot studies and aims to analyse a possible role of nAChRs on expression levels of NTRs. In both parts a special emphasis is put on alpha7 nAChRs and in both parts primary cell cultures from rat cerebral cortex were used. The results obtained in the first part of the present study indicate that alpha7 nAChRs may be involved in calcium signals in cortical cell cultures and that choline may be selective for alpha7 nAChRs, since it induced a trend of increased [Ca2+]i only in cells expressing alpha-bungarotoxin binding sites, known to correspond to alpha7 nAChRs. The second part of this study indicates an interaction between alpha7 nAChRs and one NTR, i.e. TrkB, on an expression level basis. This conclusion is drawn from the observation that choline exposure of cell cultures attenuated TrkB levels. However, in order to clarify the involvement of alpha7 nAChRs in these observations more analysis have to be done.
