Histone acetylation and DNA demethylation of T-cells result in an anaplastic large cell lymphoma-like phenotype.

ABSTRACT: A characteristic feature of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is the significant reduction of the T-cell expression program despite its T-cell origin, a finding very similar to the loss of B-cell identity of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). Previously we demonstrated that epigenetic mechanisms are active in cHL to induce this peculiar phenotype. The results show that combined DNA demethylation and histone acetylation of T-cell lines induce an almost complete extinction of the T-cell phenotype, including the down-regulation of essential T-cell receptor signalling pathway genes such as CD3, LCK and ZAP70, as well as an up-regulation of ALCL-characteristic genes. In contrast, combined DNA demethylation and histone acetylation of ALCL cells is not able to reconstitute their T-cell phenotype. This clearly demonstrates that similar epigenetic mechanisms are active in ALCL and cHL which are responsible for the extinction of their cell type characteristic phenotype. We subjected T-cell lymphoma/leukemia cell lines and ALCL cell lines (n=4, each) to epigenetic modifiers to evoke DNA demethylation and the histone acetylation. Global gene expression profiling (Affymetrix) was performed from treated and untreated cell lines which were evaluated by real-time RT-PCR and Western Blot analysis.

A characteristic feature of anaplastic large cell lymphoma is the significant repression of the T-cell expression program despite its T-cell origin. The reasons for this down-regulation of T-cell phenotype are still unknown. To elucidate whether epigenetic mechanisms are responsible for the loss of the T-cell phenotype, we treated anaplastic large cell lymphoma and T-cell lymphoma/leukemia cell lines (n=4, each) with epigenetic modifiers to evoke DNA demethylation and histone acetylation.

Project description:Background Epigenetic changes are involved in the extinction of the B-cell gene expression program of classical Hodgkin lymphoma. However, little is known regarding epigenetic similarities between classical Hodgkin lymphoma and plasma cell myeloma cells, both of which share an extinction of the gene expression program of mature B-cells. Design and methods Global histone H3 acetylation patterns were determined in cell lines derived from classical Hodgkin lymphoma, plasma cell myeloma and B-cell lymphoma by chromatin immunoprecipitation and subsequent hybridization onto promoter tiling arrays. H3K27 trimethylation was analyzed by chromatin immunoprecipitation and real-time DNA-PCR for selected genes. Epigenetic modifications were compared to gene expression data. Results B-cell characteristic genes were hypoacetylated in classical Hodgkin lymphoma and plasma cell myeloma cell lines, as demonstrated by comparison of their histone H3 acetylation patterns to those of B-cell lines. However, the number of genes jointly hyperacetylated and expressed in classical Hodgkin lymphoma and plasma cell myeloma cell lines, such as IFR4/MUM1 and RYBP, is limited. Moreover, H3K27 trimethylation for selected B-cell characteristic genes revealed that this additional epigenetic silencing is much more prevalent in classical Hodgkin lymphoma as compared to plasma cell myeloma. Conclusion Our epigenetic data support the view that classical Hodgkin lymphoma is characterized by an abortive plasma cell differentiation with a down-regulation of B-cell characteristic genes but without activation of most plasma cell typical genes. Combined 5-aza-dC/TSA (A/T) treatment: The diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)-derived cell lines SU-DHL4, SU-DHL6 and HT and the Burkitt lymphoma-derived cell lines Daudi, Namalwa and Raji were treated with 5-aza-dC at a concentration of 3 µM for 6 days. 5-aza-dC and medium was replaced at day 2 and 5. At the fifth day - in addition to 3 µM 5-aza-dC - cells were incubated for 24 hours with 625 nM TSA. RNA was isolated according to standard protocols (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and used for Affymetrix GeneChip hybridization (HG-U133A). Microarrays were normalized using RMA and differential expression was calculated using moderated t-test. The gene expression profiles of the untreated and treated cell lines (with the exception of HT) were generated in duplicates. Microarray data (CEL files) for AZA/TSA-treated BL-derived cell lines Raji, Daudi and Namalwa were previously published (GEO accession GSE8388).
