Description
Differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is regulated by a concert of different transcription factors (TFs). A disturbed function of TFs can be the basis of (pre)malignancies such as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Growth Factor Independence 1b (Gfi1b) is a repressing TF with a key role in quiescence of HSCs and emergence and maturation of erythrocytes and platelets. Here, we show that low expression of GFI1B in blast cells is associated with inferior prognosis of MDS and AML patients. Using mouse models with either reduced expression or conditional deletion of Gfi1b, crossed with a mouse model reflecting human MDS or AML, we demonstrate that AML development was accelerated with heterozygous loss of Gfi1b, and latency was further decreased when Gfi1b was conditionally deleted. Loss of Gfi1b significantly enhanced stemness of leukemic cells with upregulation of genes fundamentally involved in leukemia development. On a molecular level, we found that loss of Gfi1b not only increased the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) but also induced gene expression changes of key AML pathways such as the p38/AKT pathway. These results demonstrate that Gfi1b functions as an oncosuppressor in MDS/AML development.

Description
The process of hepatocarcinogenesis in the diethylnitrosamine (DEN) initiation/phenobarbital (PB) promotion mouse model involves the selective clonal outgrowth of cells harboring oncogene mutations in Ha-ras, B-raf, or Ctnnb1. Here, we have characterized mouse liver tumors harboring either Ctnnb1 or Ha-ras mutations via integrated molecular profiling at the transcriptional and translational and post-translational levels. In addition, metabolites of the intermediary metabolism were quantified by high resultion 1H magic angle nuclear magnetic resonance (HR-MAS NMR). We have identified tumor characteristic genotype-specific differences in mRNA and miRNA expression, protein levels, and post-translational modifications and in metabolite levels that facilitate the molecular and biochemical stratification of tumor phenotypes. Bioinformatic integration of these data at the pathway level led to novel insights into tumor genotype-specific aberrant cell signaling and in particular to a better understanding of alterations in pathways of the cell intermediary metabolism, which are driven by the constitutive activation of the -Catenin and Ha-ras oncoproteins in tumors of the two genotypes.
