Recruitment of MYC to target genes in ramos and mutu3 cells

ABSTRACT: Follicular lymphomas and diffuse large B-cell lymphomas have markedly different biological phenotypes and yet all originate from mature, germinal center B-cells. We hypothesized that alterations in DNA methylation patterning might help explain the clinical heterogeneity of these diseases. We report that intra- and inter-individual patient heterogeneity in cytosine methylation is associated with disease severity, and that methylation heterogeneity originates in germinal centers and is amplified during disease progression. Abnormal methylation patterns differ between chromosomal regions and depend on local gene density and the methylation status of neighboring genes. Lymphomagenic transcriptional regulators, such as BCL6, MYC and EZH2, perturb DNA methylation in a target gene-specific manner. Furthermore, aberrant epigenetic states – especially hypomethylation – tend to spread along DNA in a non-specific manner while insulator elements like CTCF inhibit such spreading. Our findings suggest mechanisms through which altered cytosine methylation contributes to the distinct phenotypes of tumors derived from mature B-cells. Identification of MYC target genes in Burkitt lymphomas by ChIP-on-chip. MYC ChIP-on-chip was done in two Burkitt Lymphoma (BL) cell lines (ramos and mutu3) in duplicate. This submission represents the ChIP-chip component of the study.

Project description:MYC translocations are the biologic hallmark of Burkitt lymphomas but also occur in other mature B-cell lymphomas. If accompanied by chromosomal breaks targeting the BCL2 and/or BCL6 oncogenes, these MYC translocation-positive (MYC+) lymphomas are called double-hit lymphomas (DHLs); otherwise, the term single-hit lymphoma (SHL) is applied. In order to characterize the biologic features of these MYC+ lymphomas other than Burkitt lymphomas, we explored, after exclusion of molecular Burkitt lymphoma (mBL) as defined by gene expression profiling (GEP), the molecular, pathological and clinical aspects of 80 MYC translocation (MYC+) lymphomas (31 SHL, 26 BCL2+/MYC+, 14 BCL6+/MYC+, 6 BCL2+/BCL6+/MYC+ and 3 MYC+ lymphomas with unknown BCL6 status). Comparison of SHL and DHL revealed no difference in frequency of MYC partner (IG/non-IG), genomic complexity or MYC expression and no differences in GEP. DHL showed a more frequent GCB-like GEP and higher IGH and MYC mutation rates. GEP revealed 130 differentially expressed genes between BCL6+/MYC+ and BCL2+/MYC+ DHL. BCL2+/MYC+ DHL showed a more frequent GCB-like GEP. Analysis of all lymphomas according to MYC partner (IG/non-IG) revealed no substantial differences. In contrast to mBL and lymphomas without MYC break, SHL and DHL patients had similar poor outcome. Our data suggest that after excluding mBL, MYC+ lymphomas could be biologically widely lumped without further need for subclassification. 32 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma samples were hybridized to HG-U133A Affymetrix GeneChips. In addition, this study contains 30 already published samples, which contribute to GSE4475 (Hummel et al. 2006 (PMID 16760442)), as well as 18 already published samples from GSE22470 (Salaverria et al. 2011 (PMID 21487109)). No re-normalisation of the published samples was performed. The complete dataset representing: (1) the 32 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma Samples, (2) the 30 Samples from GSE4475 and (3) the 18 Samples from GSE22470, is linked below as a supplementary file
