Research interests
The Leukaemia Stem Cell Self-Renewal group was established in 2008. Our research group is interested in the abnormalities of stem cell self-renewal and bone marrow microenvironment which develop in myeloid leukaemias. We have specific interests in the Hedgehog pathway in myeloid leukaemias, quiescence as a mechanism of drug resistance in leukaemia stem cells and interactions between leukaemia stem cells and their niche, in particular via the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis. An important aim of our work is the translation of basic laboratory research to clinical trials which we have achieved with the use of Hedgehog pathway inhibitors in chronic myeloid leukaemia.
Research interests
Aberrant leukaemia stem cell self-renewal and altered bone marrow microenvironment or “niche” allows the leukaemia stem cells to survive the most effective chemotherapeutic strategies available today, resulting in refractory leukaemia or relapse. Small molecule inhibitors are increasingly becoming available to target these essential stem cell pathways and assessing these novel compounds forms a very important part of our research.
We use a combination of immunomagentic cell separation and multi-parameter fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) to isolate the most primitive haemopoietic stem cells from the progenitor cells in both normal and leukaemic primary samples. We then use a combination of long and short-term culture techniques, together with a number of gene expression (microarray, Taqman qRT-PCR, Fluidigm) and protein expression/activity (Western blotting, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence) approaches to assess the differences between normal and leukaemic cells and the effects of small molecule inhibitors. In addition, we are currently involved with extending the leukaemia Biobank to include samples from patients with acute leukaemia and myelodysplastic syndrome.
We work with several academic collaborators including: Professor Peter Adams (Glasgow), Dr David Vetrie (Glasgow), Professor Richard Clark (Liverpool), Professor Paresh Vyas (Oxford), Professor Tim Bruemmendorf (Aachen), Professor Tomasz Skorski (Temple) and Professor Ravi Bhatia (Duarte).
Individual projects:
• Identification and preclinical studies of novel therapeutic strategies to eliminate leukaemia stem cells
• Determining the role of Hedgehog signalling in conferring chemoresistance in myeloid malignancies
• Hedgehog signalling as a leukaemia stem cell self-renewal pathway in CML
• The importance of the Notch signalling pathway and its interactions in the maintenance and progression of chronic myeloid leukaemia
• Antagonising the CXCR4/SDF-1 interaction in chronic myeloid leukaemia for sensitisation to tyrosine kinase inhibitors
• Characterisation and therapeutic targeting of cancer stem cells in blast phase chronic myeloid leukaemia
• Investigating the properties of residual leukaemia cells, including leukaemia stem cells, in optimally responding chronic myeloid leukaemia patients
My clinical areas of interest/expertise are stem cell transplantation and myeloid leukaemias. I have an active role as a Principal Investigator (PI) for clinical trials at the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre and I am PI for the Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research Therapy Acceleration Programme here in Glasgow.
