Evidence for an oncogenic modifier role for mutant histone acetyltransferases in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: Mutations in histone acetyltransferases (HATs) are among the most common mutations in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We previously showed that two human DLBCL cell lines, RC-K8 and SUDHL2, express C-terminally truncated, HAT domain-deficient p300 proteins (p300?C) that are required for optimal cell proliferation. Microarray analysis of mRNA expression in RC-K8 cells following p300?C knockdown shows upregulation of NF-?B and p53 gene expression programs and downregulation of a MYC gene expression program. Experiments indicate that these gene expression changes are due to inhibitory effects of p300?C on NF-?B activity and on p53 protein levels and stimulatory effects on MYC protein levels, suggesting that p300?C mutants enhance the proliferation of DLBCL cells by adjusting the transcriptional output of cell-specific oncoproteins. We propose that p300/CBP gene truncation represents a new class of oncogenic mutation that optimizes the activity of context-specific oncogenic transcription factors. We propose 'oncogenic modifier' to describe such mutations.

Mutations in histone acetyltransferases (HATs) are among the most common mutations in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We previously showed that two human DLBCL cell lines, RC-K8 and SUDHL2, express C-terminally truncated, HAT domain-deficient p300 proteins (p300ΔC) that are required for optimal cell proliferation. Microarray analysis of mRNA expression in RC-K8 cells following p300ΔC knockdown shows upregulation of NF-κB and p53 gene expression programs and downregulation of a MYC gene ex ...[more]

Project description:BackgroundDiffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive subtype of lymphoma, and multiple extranodal involvement (ENI) indicates adverse clinical outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of oncogenic mutations and tumor microenvironment alterations on ENI in DLBCL.MethodsThe clinical features of 1960 patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL were analyzed, and DNA and RNA sequencing was performed on 670 and 349 patients, respectively. Oncogenic mutations and tumor microenvironment alterations were compared according to ENI and evaluated in zebrafish patient-derived tumor xenograft models.ResultsMultiple ENI was significantly associated with poor performance status, advanced stage, elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase, low response rate, and inferior prognosis. Lymphoma invasion of the bones, spleen, bone marrow, liver, and central nervous system were independent unfavorable prognostic factors. MYD88 was frequently mutated in patients with multiple ENI, co-occurred with mutations in CD79B, PIM1, TBL1XR1, BTG1, MPEG1, and PRDM1, and correlated with invasion of the bones, kidney/adrenal glands, breasts, testes, skin, and uterus/ovaries. For tumor microenvironment alterations, patients with multiple ENI showed higher regulatory T-cell (Treg)-recruiting activity, but lower extracellular matrix-encoding gene expression, than those without ENI and with single ENI. Elevated Treg-recruiting activity was related to mutations in B2M, SGK1, FOXO1, HIST1H1E, and ARID1A, and correlated with invasion of the bone marrow and thyroid. Additionally, mutations in MYD88, PIM1, TBL1XR1, SGK1, FOXO1, HIST1H1E, and ARID1A were associated with decreased major histocompatibility complex class I expression. Zebrafish models further revealed relationships between MYD88 mutations and invasion of the kidneys and gonads, as well as B2M mutations and invasion of the bone marrow. Increased CXCR4 expression is linked to bone marrow invasion in an organotropic way.ConclusionsOur findings thus contribute to an improved understanding of the biological behavior of multiple ENI and provide a clinical rationale for targeting ENI in DLBCL.
