T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive hematological malignancy often occurring in children and adolescents, in the majority of which Notch signaling pathway is upregulated, usually by activating mutations in NOTCH1. Starting from a genome-wide microarray analysis, we previously identified a downstream target gene PPRC1. According to our preliminary data, we infer that PPRC1 likely mediates mitochondrial function and tumor cell growth in T-ALL, the precise mechanism is unclear yet. We aim to understand whether and how NOTCH1-mediated PPRC1 functions to contribute to T-ALL. Combining the approaches of molecular biology, cellular biology and animal modeling, we will:1.study the underneath mechanism of NOTCH1 regulation of PPRC1 in NOTCH1- dependent T-ALL cell lines; 2.verify whether PPRC1 play a functional role in T-ALL cell lines; 3.determine whether and how PPRC1 is required for T-ALL onset in mouse xenograft T-ALL and bone marrow transplant mouse models. This PPRC1 research will help decipher the molecular pathogenesis of T-ALL and may trigger a novel molecularly-directed therapies.
急性T淋巴细胞白血病(T-ALL)是一种多发于儿童的恶行血液肿瘤, NOTCH1激活突变导致Notch信号通路的异常活化在T-ALL发生发展中发挥重要作用。项目申请人前期进行全基因组表达谱分析发现NOTCH1新型靶基因PPRC1,推测PPRC1可能参与维持T-ALL细胞线粒体的功能,进而影响能量代谢过程,但其分子机制尚不明确。本项目拟采用分子生物学、细胞生物学和模式动物等学科交叉的研究方法,探讨PPRC1在T-ALL病理过程中的功能和机制:1.利用T-ALL细胞系分析PPRC1在T-ALL细胞中受NOTCH1信号通路调控的分子机制;2.研究PPRC1在T-ALL细胞中是否具有生物学功能;3.采用异源移植瘤小鼠模型和骨髓移植小鼠模型研究PPRC1在T-ALL发生发展过程中的作用。本项目预期成果有望揭示T-ALL的发病新机制,以期为针对PPRC1的T-ALL靶向治疗提供理论依据。
急性T淋巴细胞白血病(T-ALL)是一种多发于儿童的恶性血液肿瘤,尽管通过实施强化疗方案,临床完全缓解率接近90%,但复发或难治性T-ALL患者的预后仍然较差,因此临床急需高效低毒的靶向治疗方法。近年来大量研究表明NOTCH1激活突变导致Notch信号通路的异常活化在T-ALL发生发展中发挥重要作用。本项目采用全基因组表达谱芯片技术在T-ALL中筛选被 NOTCH1 直接调控的基因,发现并初步验证了新型下游靶基因Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-related protein 1, PGC-1-related coactivator ,PPRC1,PPRC1作为PGC1转录辅活化因子家族的一员,已被证明在骨肉瘤中调控线粒体的生物合成和细胞生长,但在血液系统恶性肿瘤中其功能尚不清楚。我们通过染色质免疫共沉淀(ChIP)及荧光素酶报告基因实验等技术证实,NOTCH1转录复合物与PPRC1启动子区域结合并激活转录。进一步利用小干扰RNA(shRNA)介导的功能缺失实验,结果表明,PPRC1缺失可抑制T-ALL细胞生长增殖,以及半乳糖作为碳源时T-ALL细胞的生长增值,同时降低T-ALL细胞线粒体含量及ATP产能。最后我们利用过表达挽救实验发现,PPRC1的过表达可部分挽救NOTCH抑制剂Compond E引起的细胞生长抑制。本项目揭示了PPRC1在T-ALL发病中的作用,并从一个新的视角阐明了NOTCH1介导的T-ALL的病理机制。
