View SamplesEltrombopag, a small molecule thrombopoietin receptor (TPO-R) agonist and potent intracellular iron chelator, has shown remarkable efficacy to stimulate sustained multilineage hematopoiesis in patients with bone marrow failure syndromes, suggesting an effect at the most immature hematopoietic stem and multipotent progenitor level. While the functional and molecular effects of Eltrombopag on megakaryopoiesis have been carefully studied in the recent past, insights into its mechanistic impact on the earliest stages of hematopoiesis have been limited. Additionally, previous studies also revealed molecular pathway of Eltrombopag apart from stimulation of TPO signaling, detail characterization remains to be addressed. In this study, we investigated the effects of Eltrombopag, in comparison with TPO, on highly-purified primary hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from healthy human donors. The binding of Eltrombopag to TPO-R is species-specific to human and primate cells. we also utilized HSCs isolated mouse as separation-of-function models to directly assess the molecular effect of Eltrombopag on HSCs independent of TPOR stimulation.

View SamplesThe innate immune system is the organisms first line of defense against pathogens. Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are responsible for sensing the presence of pathogen-associated molecules. The prototypic PRRs, the membrane-bound receptors of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family, recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and initiate an innate immune response through signaling pathways that depend on the adaptor molecules MyD88 and TRIF. Deciphering the differences in the complex signaling events that lead to pathogen recognition and initiation of the correct response remains challenging. Here we report the discovery of temporal changes in the protein signaling components involved in innate immunity. Using an integrated strategy combining unbiased proteomics, transcriptomics and macrophage stimulations with three different PAMPs, we identified differences in signaling between individual TLRs and revealed specifics of pathway regulation at the protein level. In addition to forming macrophages and dendritic cells, monocytes in adult peripheral blood retain the ability to develop into osteoclasts, mature bone-resorbing cells. The extensive morphological and functional transformations that occur during osteoclast differentiation require substantial reprogramming of gene and protein expression. Here we employ -omic-scale technologies to examine in detail the molecular changes at discrete developmental stages in this process (precursor cells, intermediate osteoclasts, and multinuclear osteoclasts), quantitatively comparing their transcriptomes and proteomes.

View SamplesThe p53 protein is the most frequently inactivated tumor suppressor in human cancer. While p53 mutations are found in 50% of all cancers, the p53 pathway can also be suppressed by its interaction with endogenous inhibitors HDMX and HDM2, which are frequently overexpressed in patients with acute myeloid leukemia and other cancers. Thus, pharmacological disruption of both these interactions is an attractive strategy to restore p53-dependent tumor suppressor activity in AML with wild type P53. Strategies targeting HDM2 have recently generated promising results; however, cancer cells are still left vulnerable to p53 inhibition by HDMX, particularly in cancers such as leukemia that overexpress HDMX. In this study, we demonstrate that dual HDMX/HDM2 inhibition using a stapled alpha-helical peptide (ALRN-6924), which has recently entered clinical testing, leads to striking anti-leukemic effects. ALRN-6924 robustly activates p53-dependent transcription at the single cell and single molecule level, and exhibits biochemical and molecular biological on-target activity in leukemia cells in vitro and in a patient who received ALRN-6924 treatment. Dual HDMX/HDM2 inhibition by ALRN-6924 inhibits cellular proliferation by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in cell lines and primary AML patients' cells, including in leukemic stem cell-enriched populations, and disrupts functional clonogenic and serial replating capacity. Furthermore, ALRN-6924 leads to significantly improved survival in an AML xenograft model in vivo. At the molecular level, dual HDMX/HDM2 inhibition leads to global transcriptional activation of p53-dependent pathways in leukemia cells. Our study provides insight into the effects of dual HDMX/HDM2 inhibition and proof-of-concept for ALRN-6924 as a novel therapeutic approach in AML and other cancers with high HDMX levels. Overall design: Total mRNA expression profiles of vehicle (1:10 DMSO) or 1 uM ALRN-6924 treated AML cells (6 hours) were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicates, using the Illumnia HiSeq 2500 instrument.
