Presentation Notes
So looking at other published animal model I propose that the classification correlates with apoptosis. So BID-deficient mice are anti-apoptotic and develop myloproliferative disease (MPD). These two KRAS-mediated MPDs have not been characterised. The Nup98/Hox13 fusion is pro-apoptotic with 14% bone marrow blasts and develop MDS. Sall4 is pro-apoptotic and develop AML.It is not known what the apoptosis status is of the AML. These next two are ours, which is controlled by where BCL-2 is localised. The last one here with EVI1 are pro-apoptotic and have an MDS phenotype. So it looks like in these models we have recapitulated the human disease in that in the MDS stage of the disease pro-apoptosis dominates and in the AML stage anti-apoptosis is the main feature. Of course in real life you expect a mixture at times as the disease is in transition.

Overall Aim

• To develop animal models as test platforms for therapeutics

• To develop reagents for improved patient treatment

• To identify biomarkers to predict response to treatment

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Model of progression Starting with a stem cell an initiating event occurs giving rise to an abnormal clone, which has a selective advantage and clonally expands. Eventually other events occur giving rise to a leukemic clone, which also expands. Using a genetic approach we used transgenic mice bearing either mutant NRAS or BCL-2 as we have shown previously that mutations of NRAS are found in MDS patients and BCL-2 has been found to be upregulated in MDS patients as they progress. Furthermore 50% of AML patients have upregulation of BCL-2 which correlates with a poor prognosis. In our mouse models depending on where we express BCL-2 we get either MDS or AML-like disease

Presentation Notes
When we cross the MMTVtTA/TBCL-2 mice with the MRP8mutant NRAS mice we get an MDS-like disease with around 15% bone marrow blasts with a lot of dysplasia, some liver invasion and a relatively indolent disease with a long latency period before they die. Note that when hBCL-2 is switched off the lethality of the disease can be rescued.When you cross the MRP8BCL-2 with mutant MRP8NRAS you get an AML-like disease with nearly 90% bone marrow blasts, massive invasion around the periportal tract of the liver, invaded spleens cells with the disappearance of the white pulp and expansion of the red pulp due to extramedullary hematoppiesis and the mice die within 3 months. We see some dysplasia, which indicates there was a preceding MDS. Note that the single RAS has normal differentiation with dysplasitc cells and clear livers and spleesn. The single Bcl-2 mice have increased bone blasts, but these are normal and the livers and spleen are also not invaded. Note the scales of the survival curves so MDS takes longer to die compared to the AML.

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Using the RAF1 pulldown assay, which brings down only active GTP-bound RAS we can see that RAS/BCL-2 is active in the expanded Sca1+ compartment, unlike the singles. In the Mac1 compartment where MRP8 drives expression we have active RAS in the single RAS and the double mice, but surprisingly also in the single BCL-2 mice. We hypothesize that this is because BCL-2 recruits endogenous mouse RAS to activate RAS. Below you can see that the hBCL-2 antibody sees the complex showing that BCL-2 physically binds the RAS-GTP complex. Using confocal microscopy you can see that RAS and BCL-2 co-localize.

Presentation Notes
So the experimental design in order to ask if NAC will reduce genomic instability is shown here. We breed the mice with NAC in the water and when the pups are born we maintain the parents in NAC. AT 6 weeeks of age we then take the cells from the mice and test for DNA damage and misrepair. Ici cette expérience a été réalisée pour déterminer si NAC peut réduir l'instabilité génomique. Les souris sont alimentées en présence de NAC dans l'eau de boisson et quand les souriceaux naissent nous maintenons NAC dans l’eau de boisson des parents. – A 6 semaines nous prélevons les cellules des souris et nous analysons les dommages et les défauts de réparations de l'ADN.

Boxed are Peak 1 representing a phosphorylated isoform and peak 2 a dephosphorylated isoform. Quantitations are shown in histogram (n=2 in triplicate). Actin was used as a housekeeping protein to control for proteins loading of mice treated with control vehicle HBSS and or with pVAX14. Measured on day 30.

Presentation Notes
BM cells from the mice of high leukemic burden were used as targets of CD3+ enriched cells isolated from the spleen of MDS mice on day 82 of the protocol illustrated in Figure 4A; cells enriched for CD3+ from control vehicle (HBSS) or pVAX14 treated mice using CD3 magnetic beads. The ratio of CD3+ cells to MDS BM for culture in methocult (Stem cell technologies, Vancouver, Canada) was 10:1. Myeloid colonies were counted after 7days of incubation at 370C and 5% CO2. There is a significant difference between the E:T 100:1, with the lowest colonies coming from the mouse with the highest platelet count. Increased interferon gamma (IFNg) producing cells upon treatment with pVAX1 in high risk MDS mice using the protocol shown harvested on day 30. There are clearly low and high IFNg producers following pVAX14 treatment. P<0.025 Conclusion: pVAX14 induces IFNg and targets progenitors pVAX14 Increased Memory T-cells of HR-MDS mice on day 30. pVAX14 Vs Control vehicle (HBSS): p<0.01, Mann Whitney test. I ncreased MYD88 expression upon treatment with pVAX14 assayed after treatment (post day 50). pVAX14 MYD88 expression levels were significantly different from Vehicle (HBSS) (p≤0.03). Conclusion: pVAX14 induces IFNg and MYD88 expression of HR-MDS mice.
