Single cell profiling of phospho-protein levels in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has a high incidence and a steeply growing prevalence in the Western world. The heterogeneity of the disease necessitates individual mapping of biology and predicted drug response in each patient as basis for administration of tailored treatments. Cell signaling aberrations may serve as biological indicators for suitable therapy. By applying phospho-specific flow cytometry, we mapped basal and induced phosphorylation levels of 20 phospho-epitopes on proteins relevant to B-cell signaling in B cells from 22 CLL patients and 25 normal controls. The signaling response of the cytostatic drugs fludarabine, doxorubicin and vincristine was also investigated. CLL cells exerted similar or lower basal phosphorylation levels compared to normal B cells, with the exception of STAT3 (pY705) which was increased. Interestingly, STAT3 inhibitors normalized the STAT3 (pY705) level and reduced cell viability. Vincristine treatment significantly modulated phosphorylation levels in CLL cells, while no effect was observed in controls or after fludarabine or doxorubicin treatment. After BCR stimulation, CLL cells showed a tendency towards impaired phosphorylation levels, significant for several of the analyzed proteins. However, the level of Akt (pS473) was more potently induced in unmutated CLL (UM-CLL) patient samples and was significantly higher than in M-CLL samples. Importantly, the PI3Kδ inhibitor idelalisib potently reversed the effect of anti-IgM on Akt (pS473). Thus, signaling aberrations could be identified by phosphoflow cytometry and aberrant signaling could be normalized by small molecule drugs. This approach can identify relevant drug targets as well as drug effects in the individual patient.

Neuroprotection of insulin against oxidative stress-induced apoptosis in cultured retinal neurons: involvement of phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt signal pathway.

In order to investigate the neuroprotection of insulin in retinal neurons, we used retinal neuronal culture as a model system to study the protective effects of insulin against H2O2-induced cytotoxicity and apoptotic death. Primary retinal neuronal cultures were grown from retinas of 0-2-day old Sprague-Dawley rats. Cell viability was measured by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide assay. Apoptotic cell death was evaluated by the TdT-mediated digoxigenin-dUTP nick-end labeling assay, and by DNA laddering analysis. Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) activity was measured using phosphoinositide 4,5-bisphophate and [gamma-32P]ATP as substrate. Western blot analysis with anti-phospho-Akt (pS473) antibody was performed to examine the level of phosphorylated Akt. We observed that treatment with 100 microM H2O2 for 24 h significantly decreased cell viability and induced apoptotic death of retinal neurons, and that pretreatment with 10 nM insulin significantly inhibited or attenuated H2O2-induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis. Pretreatment with LY294002, a specific PI3K inhibitor, abolished the cytoprotective effect of insulin. Insulin also strongly activated both PI3K and the downstream effector Akt. These results suggest that insulin protects retinal neurons from oxidative stress-induced apoptosis and that the PI3K/Akt signal pathway is involved in insulin-mediated retinal neuroprotection.
