Non-LTR Retrotransposons03:18

Non-LTR Retrotransposons

13.5K
As the name suggests, non-LTR retrotransposons lack the long terminal repeats characteristic of the LTR retrotransposons. Additionally, both LTR and non-LTR retrotransposons use distinct mechanisms of mobilization. Non-LTR retrotransposons are further divided into two classes - Long interspersed nuclear elements (LINEs) and short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs), both of which occur abundantly in most mammals, including humans. Some of the active non-LTR retrotransposons in humans are L1...

Regulation of Hematopoietic Stem Cells

4.2K
All blood and immune cells are produced from the multipotent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) by the process of hematopoiesis. However, they all have a limited life span. In addition, many are depleted in immune surveillance or combatting an injury or infection. This makes blood one of the most regenerative tissues. Hematopoiesis helps replenish these blood and immune cells, restoring the body's normal functioning. However, overproduction of blood and immune cells can make them cancerous or...

Overview of Transposition and Recombination

19.7K
Transposons make up a significant part of genomes of various organisms. Therefore, it is believed that transposition played a major evolutionary role in speciation by changing genome sizes and modifying gene expression patterns. For example, in bacteria, transposition can lead to conferring antibiotic resistance. Movement of transposable elements within the genetic pool of pathogenic bacteria can aid in transfer of antibiotic-resistant genetic elements. In eukaryotes, transposons can carry out...

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes01:05

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes

9.9K
Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...

Cancer Stem Cells and Tumor Maintenance

6.1K
Early diagnosis and treatment can often cure cancer. However, even with treatment, residual cells called cancer stem cells (CSC) might remain, often causing tumor recurrence. These cancer stem cells possess the potential for self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation and are often responsible for the therapeutic resistance displayed in most cancers.
Cancer stem cells are thought to originate from tissue-specific normal stem cells or progenitor cells. The normal stem cells usually reside in...

This summary is machine-generated.

Transposable elements (TEs) are suppressed in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), enabling cancer immune escape. Reactivating TEs may enhance cancer immunogenicity and treatment efficacy.

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Immunology
  • Cancer Biology

Background:

  • Genomic transposable elements (TEs) constitute a significant portion of the human genome.
  • While TE expression can cause genomic instability, they also play roles in immune responses.
  • Hypomethylating agents can induce TE expression in cancer cells, triggering anti-cancer immune signaling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of transposable elements (TEs) in the pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML).
  • To analyze TE expression across different cell fractions during AML development.
  • To understand the relationship between TE suppression and immune evasion in AML and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

Main Methods:

  • Studied TE expression in various cell fractions of AML, including pre-leukemic hematopoietic stem cells, leukemic stem cells (LSCs), and leukemic blasts.
  • Compared TE expression in high-risk and low-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) cases.
  • Analyzed the co-occurrence of TE repression with the upregulation of genes modulating TE expression.

Main Results:

  • Leukemic stem cells (LSCs) in AML exhibited significant suppression of TEs and interferon pathways.
  • High-risk MDS cases demonstrated markedly greater TE suppression compared to low-risk cases.
  • TE repression correlated with increased expression of RNA helicases and autophagy genes.

Conclusions:

  • TE suppression is proposed as a mechanism for immune escape in AML and MDS.
  • Targeting pathways that modulate TE expression, such as RNA helicases and autophagy, could enhance cancer immunogenicity.
  • Reactivating TEs presents a potential therapeutic strategy for AML and MDS.
