Deregulated FADD expression and phosphorylation in T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: In the present work, we show that T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma cells exhibit a reduction of FADD availability in the cytoplasm, which may contribute to impaired apoptosis. In addition, we observe a reduction of FADD phosphorylation that inversely correlates with the proliferation capacity and tumor aggressiveness. The resultant balance between FADD-dependent apoptotic and non-apoptotic abilities may define the outcome of the tumor. Thus, we propose that FADD expression and phosphorylation can be reliable biomarkers with prognostic value for T-LBL stratification.

Deregulated WNT signaling in childhood T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Project description:WNT signaling has been implicated in the regulation of hematopoietic stem cells and plays an important role during T-cell development in thymus. Here we investigated WNT pathway activation in childhood T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) patients. To evaluate the potential role of WNT signaling in T-cell leukomogenesis, we performed expression analysis of key components of WNT pathway. More than 85% of the childhood T-ALL patients showed upregulated β-catenin expression at the protein level compared with normal human thymocytes. The impact of this upregulation was reflected in high expression of known target genes (AXIN2, c-MYC, TCF1 and LEF). Especially AXIN2, the universal target gene of WNT pathway, was upregulated at both mRNA and protein levels in ∼40% of the patients. When β-CATENIN gene was silenced by small interfering RNA, the cancer cells showed higher rates of apoptosis. These results demonstrate that abnormal WNT signaling activation occurs in a significant fraction of human T-ALL cases independent of known T-ALL risk factors. We conclude that deregulated WNT signaling is a novel oncogenic event in childhood T-ALL.

MEF2B mutations lead to deregulated expression of the oncogene BCL6 in diffuse large B cell lymphoma.

Project description:MEF2B encodes a transcriptional activator and is mutated in ?11% of diffuse large B cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) and ?12% of follicular lymphomas (FLs). Here we found that MEF2B directly activated the transcription of the proto-oncogene BCL6 in normal germinal-center (GC) B cells and was required for DLBCL proliferation. Mutation of MEF2B resulted in enhanced transcriptional activity of MEF2B either through disruption of its interaction with the corepressor CABIN1 or by rendering it insensitive to inhibitory signaling events mediated by phosphorylation and sumoylation. Consequently, the transcriptional activity of Bcl-6 was deregulated in DLBCLs with MEF2B mutations. Thus, somatic mutations of MEF2B may contribute to lymphomagenesis by deregulating BCL6 expression, and MEF2B may represent an alternative target for blocking Bcl-6 activity in DLBCLs.

Clinical impact of miR-223 expression in pediatric T-Cell lymphoblastic lymphoma.

Project description:Although probability of event-free survival in pediatric lymphoblastic T-cell lymphoma (T-LBL) is about 75%, survival in relapsed patients is very poor, so the identification of new molecular markers is crucial for treatment optimization. Here, we demonstrated that the over-expression of miR-223 promotes tumor T-LBL cell growth, migration and invasion in vitro. We found out that SIK1, an anti-metastatic protein, is a direct target of miR-223 and consequently is significantly reduced in miR-223-overexpressing tumor cells. We measured miR-223 expression levels at diagnosis in tumor biopsies from 67 T-LBL pediatric patients for whom complete clinical and follow up data were available, and we found that high miR-223 expression (above the median value) is associated with worse prognosis (PFS 66% vs 94%, P=0.0036). In addition, the multivariate analysis, conducted taking into account miR-223 expression level and other molecular and clinical characteristics, showed that only high level of miR-223 is an independent factor for worse prognosis. MiR-223 represents a promising marker for treatment stratification in pediatric patients with T-LBL and we provide the first evidence of miR-223 potential role as oncomir by SIK1 repression.

The DUSP26 phosphatase activator adenylate kinase 2 regulates FADD phosphorylation and cell growth.

Project description:Adenylate kinase 2 (AK2), which balances adenine nucleotide pool, is a multi-functional protein. Here we show that AK2 negatively regulates tumour cell growth. AK2 forms a complex with dual-specificity phosphatase 26 (DUSP26) phosphatase and stimulates DUSP26 activity independently of its AK activity. AK2/DUSP26 phosphatase protein complex dephosphorylates fas-associated protein with death domain (FADD) and regulates cell growth. AK2 deficiency enhances cell proliferation and induces tumour formation in a xenograft assay. This anti-growth function of AK2 is associated with its DUSP26-stimulating activity. Downregulation of AK2 is frequently found in tumour cells and human cancer tissues showing high levels of phospho-FADD(Ser194). Moreover, reconstitution of AK2 in AK2-deficient tumour cells retards both cell proliferation and tumourigenesis. Consistent with this, AK2(+/-) mouse embryo fibroblasts exhibit enhanced cell proliferation with a significant alteration in phospho-FADD(Ser191). These results suggest that AK2 is an associated activator of DUSP26 and suppresses cell proliferation by FADD dephosphorylation, postulating AK2 as a negative regulator of tumour growth.

Genomic landscape of T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma.

Project description:ObjectiveT-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) is an aggressive neoplasm of precursor T cells, however, detailed genome-wide sequencing of large T-LBL cohorts has not been performed due to its rarity. The purpose of this study was to identify putative driver genes in T-LBL.MethodsTo gain insight into the genetic mechanisms of T-LBL development, we performed whole-exome sequencing on 41 paired tumor-normal DNA samples from patients with T-LBL.ResultsWe identified 32 putative driver genes using whole-exome sequencing in 41 T-LBL cases, many of which have not previously been described in T-LBL, such as Janus kinase 3 (JAK3), Janus kinase 1 (JAK1), Runt-related transcription factor 1 (RUNX1) and Wilms' tumor suppressor gene 1 (WT1). When comparing the genetic alterations of T-LBL to T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), we found that JAK-STAT and RAS pathway mutations were predominantly observed in T-LBL (58.5% and 34.1%, respectively), whereas Notch and cell cycle signaling pathways mutations were more prevalent in T-ALL. Notably, besides notch receptor 1 (NOTCH1), mutational status of plant homeodomain (PHD)-like finger protein 6 (PHF6) was identified as another independent factor for good prognosis. Of utmost interest is that co-existence of PHF6 and NOTCH1 mutation status might provide an alternative for early therapeutic stratification in T-LBL.ConclusionsTogether, our findings will not only provide new insights into the molecular and genetic mechanisms of T-LBL, but also have tangible implications for clinical practice.

FAS system deregulation in T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma.

Project description:The acquisition of resistance towards FAS-mediated apoptosis may be required for tumor formation. Tumors from various histological origins exhibit FAS mutations, the most frequent being hematological malignancies. However, data regarding FAS mutations or FAS signaling alterations are still lacking in precursor T-cell lymphoblastic lymphomas (T-LBLs). The available data on acute lymphoblastic leukemia, of precursor origin as well, indicate a low frequency of FAS mutations but often report a serious reduction in FAS-mediated apoptosis as well as chemoresistance, thus suggesting the occurrence of mechanisms able to deregulate the FAS signaling pathway, different from FAS mutation. Our aim at this study was to determine whether FAS-mediated apoptotic signaling is compromised in human T-LBL samples and the mechanisms involved. This study on 26 T-LBL samples confirms that the FAS system is impaired to a wide extent in these tumors, with 57.7% of the cases presenting any alteration of the pathway. A variety of mechanisms seems to be involved in such alteration, in order of frequency the downregulation of FAS, the deregulation of other members of the pathway and the occurrence of mutations at FAS. Considering these results together, it seems plausible to think of a cumulative effect of several alterations in each T-LBL, which in turn may result in FAS/FASLG system deregulation. Since defective FAS signaling may render the T-LBL tumor cells resistant to apoptotic cell death, the correct prognosis, diagnosis and thus the success of anticancer therapy may require such an in-depth knowledge of the complete scenario of FAS-signaling alterations.

The Classical Apoptotic Adaptor FADD Regulates Glycolytic Capacity in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

Project description:The Fas-associated death domain (FADD) has long been regarded as a crucial adaptor protein in the extrinsic apoptotic pathway. Despite the non-apoptotic function of FADD is gradually being discovered and confirmed, its corresponding physiological and pathological significance is still unclear. Based on the database of GWAS catalog and GTEx Portal, 17 SNPs associated with leukemia susceptibility were found to be linked to FADD expression. We then investigated a regulatory role of FADD in T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) using Jurkat cells as a model. Jurkat cells stably depleted of FADD (FADD-/- Jurkat) expression exhibited dampened proliferation, hypersensitivity to Etoposide-induced intrinsic apoptosis whereas near total resistance to TRAIL-induced extrinsic apoptosis. Comparison between wild type and FADD-/- Jurkat cells using iTRAQ-based proteomics revealed considerably altered expression spectrum of genes, and led us to focus on metabolic pathways. Investigation of glycolytic and mitochondrial pathways and relevant enzymes revealed that FADD knockout triggered a metabolic shift from glycolysis to mitochondrial respiration in Jurkat cells. Re-expression of FADD in FADD-/- Jurkat cells partially rescued glycolytic capacity. FADD loss triggers global metabolic reprogramming in Jurkat cells and therefore remains as a potential druggable target for ALL treatment.

Gene expression profiling of murine T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma identifies deregulation of S-phase initiating genes.

Project description:In a search for genes and pathways implicated in T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) development, we used a murine lymphoma model, where mice of the NMRI-inbred strain were inoculated with murine leukemia virus mutants. The resulting tumors were analyzed by integration analysis and global gene expression profiling to determine the effect of the retroviral integrations on the nearby genes, and the deregulated pathways in the tumors. Gene expression profiling identified increased expression of genes involved in the minichromosome maintenance and origin of recognition pathway as well as downregulation in negative regulators of G1/S transition, indicating increased S-phase initiation in murine T-LBLs.

Contribution of JAK2 mutations to T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma development.

Project description:The JAK-STAT pathway has a substantial role in lymphoid precursor cell proliferation, survival and differentiation. Nonetheless, the contribution of JAK2 to T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) development remains poorly understood. We have identified one activating TEL-JAK2 translocation and four missense mutations accumulated in 2 out of 16 T-LBL samples. Two of them are novel JAK2 mutations and the other two are reported for the first time in T-LBL. Notably, R683G and I682T might have arisen owing to RNA editing. Mutated samples showed different mutated transcripts suggesting sub-clonal heterogeneity. Functional approaches revealed that two JAK2 mutations (H574R and R683G) constitutively activate JAK-STAT signaling in ?2A cells and can drive the proliferation of BaF3-EpoR cytokine-dependent cell line. In addition, aberrant hypermethylation of SOCS3 might contribute to enhance the activation of JAK-STAT signaling. Of utmost interest is that primary T-LBL samples harboring JAK2 mutations exhibited increased expression of LMO2, suggesting a mechanistic link between JAK2 mutations and the expression of LMO2, which was confirmed for the four missense mutations in transfected ?2A cells. We therefore propose that active JAK2 contribute to T-LBL development by two different mechanisms, and that the use of pan-JAK inhibitors in combination with epigenetic drugs should be considered in future treatments.
