Università degli Studi di BolognaAbstract
RAZIONALE Numerose evidenze sperimentali hanno recentemente dimostrato che la leucemia acuta mieloide (AML) è mantenuta da una piccola popolazione di cellule staminali (LSCs) che hanno acquisito la capacità di auto-mantenimento e sono capaci di riprodurre la malattia dopo trapianto in topi NOD/SCID immunodeficienti. L' isolamento delle LSCs e la loro caratterizzazione molecolare, cinetica e funzionale è essenziale per la migliore comprensione dei processi di leucemogenesi e per lo sviluppo di terapie mirate verso i difetti molecolari delle LSCs.OBBIETTIVI Questo progetto ha come obbiettivi 1) l' isolamento e la caratterizzazione cinetica e funzionale, in vitro ed in vivo, delle LSCs; 2) identificazione del profilo di espressione delle LSCs attraverso la tecnologia dei microarrays; 3) l' induzione del fenotipo leucemico attraverso la trasduzione lentivirale in cellule staminali emopoietiche normali (HSCs) di geni correlati alla leucemia; 4)il silenziamento dei geni correlati alla leucemia nelle LSCs; 5)lo studio della attività di nuovi agenti anti-proliferativi e differenzianti sulle LSCs.
PROGETTO Il progetto è diviso in 4 Unità di ricerca fra loro strettamente cooordinate. La unità 1 ha come compito la purificazione delle LSCs attraverso metodiche immunomagnetiche e di "cell sorting". Le LSCs verranno isolate come cellule CD38-Lin-CD34+ CD123+ o CD38-Lin-CD34+CD90-. Cineticamente, le LSCs verranno caratterizzate attraverso la >>>
