Gilteritinib-induced upregulation of S100A9 is mediated through BCL6 in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (RNA-Seq II)

Purpose: Compare transcriptional changes between drug treated (gilteritinib, TP-0903) and vehicle in acute myeloid leukemia xenografts. Methods: FLT3-ITD+ MOLM13-Luc+ AML cells were xenografted into NSG mice. Mice were randomized according to bioluminescence imaging, and treatment of FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TP-0903, 60 mg/kg, once daily for 5 days/week; gilteritinib, 30 mg/kg, once daily for 5 days/week) was started on day 7 post-tail vein injection. At study end point, mice were humanely euthanized and bone marrow was collected. AML cells (human CD45+) were isolated, and RNA-seq was performed on total RNA. Sequencing reads were aligned and analyzed for differential gene expression of treatment vs vehicle cohorts. Results: The analysis revealed the transcriptional changes induced by TP-0903 or gilteritinib in MOLM13 AML xenograft model. Overall design: RNA-seq and ATAC-seq analyses were generated in FLT3-ITD+ AML cell lines from xenograft models treated with FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors vs vehicle.
