Description
Lymphotoxin-mediated activation of the lymphotoxin- receptor (LTR) has been implicated in several physiological and pathological processes, including lymphoid organ development, T-cell maturation, and solid and hematopoietic malignancies. Its role in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) or other T-cell malignancies has remained however to be investigated. Here we show that the genes encoding lymphotoxin (LT)- and LT were expressed in T-ALL patient samples, more abundantly in the TAL/LMO molecular subtype, and in the TEL-JAK2 mouse model of cortical/mature T-ALL. Surface LT12 protein was detected in primary mouse T-ALL cells, but only upon phorbol ester stimulation or absence of microenvironmental LTR interaction. Indeed, in contrast to leukemic cells collected from transplanted Ltbr/ mice or from co-cultures with Ltbr/ mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF), those collected from Ltbr+/+ mice or from Ltbr+/+ MEF co-cultures presented no surface LT expression. Supporting the notion that LT signaling plays a role in T-ALL, inactivation of the Ltbr gene in mice resulted in a statistically significant delay in TEL-JAK2-induced leukemia onset. Expression of the Lta and Ltb genes was found to be increased at the early asymtptomatic stages of TEL-JAK2 T-ALL, when only low proportions of malignant thymocytes are present in normal sized thymus. Interestingly, young asymptomatic TEL-JAK2;Ltbr/ mice presented significantly less leukemic thymocytes than TEL-JAK2;Ltbr+/+ mice. Together, these data indicate that early lymphotoxin expression by T-ALL cells activates LTR signaling in thymic stromal cells, thus promoting leukemogenesis.

Description
The TEL-JAK2 fusion oncogene and the ICN1 activated allele of NOTCH1 are the result of specific chromosomal translocations in T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Mouse models of these diseases (TEL-JAK2 transgenic mice; Carron C. et al. Blood (2000); a bone marrow transplantation model for ICN1-induced T-ALL) were used to compare the transcriptional program specific to each oncoprotein in mouse models of these leukemias. Tumor load was >50% leukemic cells in all selected organs.

Description
Developmental checkpoints in stem/progenitor cells are critical to the determination, commitment and differentiation into distinct lineages. Cancer cells often retain expression of lineage-specific checkpoint proteins, but their potential impact in cancer remains elusive. T lymphocytes mature in the thymus following a highly orchestrated developmental process that entails the successive rearrangements and expression of T-cell receptor (TCR) genes. Low affinity recognition of self-peptide/MHC complexes (self-pMHC) presented by thymic epithelial cells by the TCR of CD4+CD8+ (DP) cortical thymocytes transduces positive selection signals that ultimately shape the developing T cell repertoire. DP thymocytes not receiving these signals die by lack of stimulation whereas those that recognize self-pMHC with high affinity undergo TCR-mediated apoptosis and negative selection. In T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL), leukaemic transformation of maturating thymocytes results from the acquisition of multiple genetic and epigenetic alterations in oncogenes and tumour suppressor genes, that disrupt the normal regulatory circuits and drive clonal expansion of differentiation-arrested lymphoblasts. We show here that TCR triggering by negatively-selecting self-pMHC prevented T-ALL development and leukaemia maintenance in mice. Induction of TCR signalling by high affinity self-pMHC or treatment with monoclonal antibodies to the CD3 signalling chain (anti-CD3) caused massive leukaemic cell death and a gene expression program resembling that of thymocyte negative selection. Importantly, anti-CD3 treatment hampered leukaemogenesis in mice transplanted with either mouse or patient-derived T-ALLs. These data provide a rationale for targeted therapy based on anti-CD3 treatment of T-ALL patients and demonstrate that endogenous developmental checkpoint proteins are amenable to therapeutic intervention in cancer cells.

Description
Retinoic acid (RA) is a potent inducer of cell differentiation and plays an essential role in sex-specific germ cell development in the mammalian gonad. RA is essential for male gametogenesis and hence fertility. However, RA can also disrupt sexual cell fate in somatic cells of the testis, promoting transdifferentiation of male Sertoli cells to female granulosa-like cells when the male sexual regulator Dmrt1 is absent. The feminizing ability of RA in the somatic testis suggests that RA might normally play a role in somatic cell differentiation or cell fate maintenance in the ovary. To test for this possibility we disrupted RA signaling in somatic cells of the early fetal ovary using three genetic strategies and one pharmaceutical approach. We found that deleting all three RA receptors (RARs) in the XX somatic gonad at the time of sex determination did not significantly affect ovarian differentiation, follicle development, or female fertility. Transcriptome analysis of adult triple mutant ovaries revealed remarkably little effect on gene expression in the absence of somatic RAR function. Likewise, deletion of three RA synthesis enzymes (Aldha1-3) at the time of sex determination did not masculinize the ovary. A dominant-negative RAR transgene altered granulosa cell proliferation, likely due to interference with a non-RA signaling pathway, but did not affect granulosa cell specification or fertility. Finally, culture of fetal XX gonads with an RAR antagonist blocked germ cell meiotic initiation but did not disrupt sex-biased gene expression. We conclude that RA signaling, although crucial in the ovary for meiotic initiation, is not required for granulosa cell specification, differentiation, or reproductive function. Overall design: Ovaries from six week old mice with five replicates in each of two genotypes were analyzed by RNA-Seq

Description
CD4(+)Foxp3(+) regulatory T (Treg) cells originate primarily from thymic differentiation, but conversion of mature T lymphocytes to Foxp3 positivity can be elicited by several means, including in vitro activation in the presence of TGF-beta. Retinoic acid (RA) increases TGF-beta-induced expression of Foxp3, through unknown molecular mechanisms. We showed here that, rather than enhancing TGF-beta signaling directly in naive CD4(+) T cells, RA negatively regulated an accompanying population of CD4(+) T cells with a CD44(hi) memory and effector phenotype. These memory cells actively inhibited the TGF-beta-induced conversion of naive CD4(+) T cells through the synthesis of a set of cytokines (IL-4, IL-21, IFN-gamma) whose expression was coordinately curtailed by RA. This indirect effect was evident in vivo and required the expression of the RA receptor alpha. Thus, cytokine-producing CD44(hi) cells actively restrain TGF-beta-mediated Foxp3 expression in naive T cells, and this balance can be shifted or fine-tuned by RA.
