Study TitlePolar metabolite profiling of NALM6, REH, or MOLT16 cells treated with BCS or copper chloride.
Study SummaryWe investigated the effects of bathocuproinedisulfonic acid (BCS) treatment (a copper chelator) on steady state metabolite levels with or without rescue with 50 μM copper (II) chloride. Cells were treated for 6-8 days with vehicle or 50 μM BCS, and vehicle or 50 μM copper (II) chloride. Cells were seeded at 0.125 million/mL (if passaged after 3 days) or 0.25 million/mL (if passaged after 2 days). This experiment revealed similar trends of nucleotide changes across cell lines.

Project Title:In vivo CRISPR screen identifies copper metabolism as a vulnerability in acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Project Summary:The nutrient-sparse cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) poses a significant challenge to spreading cancer cells. Despite this challenge, leukemia often spreads to the CSF and represents a significant clinical complication. To uncover nutritional dependencies of leukemia cells in the CSF that could be targeted therapeutically, we conducted an in vivo targeted CRISPR screen in a xenograft model of leukemia. We found that SLC31A1, the primary cell surface copper importer, is a genetic dependency of leukemia in both the central nervous system as well as in the hematopoietic organs. Perturbation of copper metabolism leads to complex IV deficiency, perturbed nucleotide metabolism and slowed leukemia cell proliferation. Furthermore, nutritional copper depletion reduced cancer progression in cell line based and patient-derived xenograft models of leukemia. Copper thus appears to be an actionable micronutrient in leukemia.

Collection:

Collection ID:CO004570
Collection Summary:1-1.5 million cells from culture were collected via centrifugation for 20 seconds at 18,000xG at 4°C, washed once with ice-cold 0.9% NaCl, and collected via centrifugation for 20 seconds at 18,000xG at 4°C. Cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 with 10% FBS and penicillin/streptomycin in a 37°C incubator with 5% CO2.
Sample Type:Leukemia cells

Treatment:

Treatment ID:TR004586
Treatment Summary:Cells were treated for 6-8 days with vehicle or 50 μM BCS or 50 μM BCS and CuCl2. Culture media was RPMI-1640 containing 10% FBS and penicillin and streptomycin in 6-well plates. Cells were seeded at 0.125-0.25 million/mL and counted and passaged every 2-3 days.

Sample Preparation:

Sampleprep ID:SP004583
Sampleprep Summary:Cell pellet was resuspended in 400 μL of 100% LC-MS grade methanol supplemented with isotopically-labelled amino acid standards [Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, MSK-A2-1.2], aminopterin, and reduced glutathione standard [Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, CNLM-6245-10]) with repeated pipetting up and down and vortexing for 10 seconds. Then, 100 μL of LCMS-grade water containing 125 mM Ammonium Acetate, 10 mM Na-Ascorbate, and 7.9 mg/mL 5,5-dithio-bis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid (Ellman's reagent) was added, and the sample vortex for another 10 seconds. Samples were then centrifuged for 10 minutes at 18,000 g to pellet cell debris. The supernatant was transferred to a new tube and dried on ice using a liquid nitrogen dryer. The dried metabolites were then resuspended in 30uL and 2uL was injected.
