Super-enhancer-based identification of a BATF3/IL-2R-module reveals vulnerabilities in anaplastic large cell lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), an aggressive CD30-positive T-cell lymphoma, comprises systemic anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive, and ALK-negative, primary cutaneous and breast implant-associated ALCL. Prognosis of some ALCL subgroups is still unsatisfactory, and already in second line effective treatment options are lacking. To identify genes defining ALCL cell state and dependencies, we here characterize super-enhancer regions by genome-wide H3K27ac ChIP-seq. In addition to known ALCL key regulators, the AP-1-member BATF3 and IL-2 receptor (IL2R)-components are among the top hits. Specific and high-level IL2R expression in ALCL correlates with BATF3 expression. Confirming a regulatory link, IL-2R-expression decreases following BATF3 knockout, and BATF3 is recruited to IL2R regulatory regions. Functionally, IL-2, IL-15 and Neo-2/15, a hyper-stable IL-2/IL-15 mimic, accelerate ALCL growth and activate STAT1, STAT5 and ERK1/2. In line, strong IL-2Rα-expression in ALCL patients is linked to more aggressive clinical presentation. Finally, an IL-2Rα-targeting antibody-drug conjugate efficiently kills ALCL cells in vitro and in vivo. Our results highlight the importance of the BATF3/IL-2R-module for ALCL biology and identify IL-2Rα-targeting as a promising treatment strategy for ALCL.

Super-enhancer-based identification of a BATF3/IL-2R-module reveals vulnerabilities in anaplastic large cell lymphoma [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is an aggressive T-cell lymphoma comprising ALK-positive (ALK+) and ALK-negative (ALK−) as well as breast implant-associated (BIA)-ALCL. The prognosis for ALCL, ALK− in particular is poor, and already in second line there is an unmet medical need for effective treatment options. To identify genes defining ALCL cell state and dependencies, we here started by an unbiased characterization of super-enhancer regions by genome-wide H3K27ac chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq). We identified, in addition to known key regulators, the AP-1 transcription factor member BATF3 and IL-2 receptor (IL2R) components among the genes with most extensively H3K27-acetylated regulatory regions. Consistently, specific and high-level expression of the IL-2R subunits, IL-2Rα, IL-2Rβ and IL-2Rγ in ALCL correlate with BATF3 expression. Confirming a regulatory link, expression of IL-2R subunits decreases following BATF3 knockout, and BATF3 is recruited to AP-1 sites in IL2R regulatory regions. Functionally, IL-2, IL-15 and Neo-2/15, a hyper-stable IL-2/IL-15 mimic, accelerate growth of ALCL cells and activate STAT1, STAT5 and ERK, but not STAT3. In line, strong IL-2Rα expression in ALCL patients is linked to more aggressive clinical presentation. Finally, we demonstrate highly efficient killing of ALCL cells by an IL-2Rα-targeting antibody-drug conjugate in vitro and in vivo. Our results highlight the importance of the BATF3/IL-2R module for ALCL biology and identify IL-2Rα as the target of a promising treatment strategy for ALCL.

The AP-1-BATF and -BATF3 module is essential for growth, survival and TH17/ILC3 skewing of anaplastic large cell lymphoma.

Project description:Transcription factor AP-1 is constitutively activated and IRF4 drives growth and survival in ALK+ and ALK- anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). Here we demonstrate high-level BATF and BATF3 expression in ALCL. Both BATFs bind classical AP-1 motifs and interact with in ALCL deregulated AP-1 factors. Together with IRF4, they co-occupy AP-1-IRF composite elements, differentiating ALCL from non-ALCL. Gene-specific inactivation of BATFs, or global AP-1 inhibition results in ALCL growth retardation and/or cell death in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, the AP-1-BATF module establishes TH17/group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3)-associated gene expression in ALCL cells, including marker genes such as AHR, IL17F, IL22, IL26, IL23R and RORγt. Elevated IL-17A and IL-17F levels were detected in a subset of children and adolescents with ALK+ ALCL. Furthermore, a comprehensive analysis of primary lymphoma data confirms TH17-, and in particular ILC3-skewing in ALCL compared with PTCL. Finally, pharmacological inhibition of RORC as single treatment leads to cell death in ALCL cell lines and, in combination with the ALK inhibitor crizotinib, enforces death induction in ALK+ ALCL. Our data highlight the crucial role of AP-1/BATFs in ALCL and lead to the concept that some ALCL might originate from ILC3.

The AP-1 -BATF and -BATF3 module is essential for growth, survival and TH17/ILC3 skewing of anaplastic large cell lymphoma

Project description:Transcription factor AP-1 is constitutively activated and IRF4 drives growth and survival in ALK+ and ALK– Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL). Here we demonstrate high-level expression of BATF and BATF3 in ALCL, irrespective of the ALK-status. Both BATFs bind classical AP-1 motifs and interact with in ALCL deregulated AP-1 factors. Together with IRF4, they co-occupy AP-1-IRF composite elements (AICE), differentiating ALCL from non-ALCL. Gene-specific inactivation of BATFs by CRISPR/Cas9 or siRNAs, or global AP-1 inhibition by the dominant-negative A-Fos results in ALCL growth retardation and/or cell death in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, the AP-1-BATF module establishes TH17 / innate lymphoid cell type 3 (ILC3)-associated gene expression in ALCL, including marker genes such as AHR, IL17F, IL22, IL26, IL23R, IL18R1 and RORγt. Elevated IL-17A and IL-17F levels were detected in pretreatment sera of a subset of children and adolescents with ALK+ ALCL. Finally, pharmacological inhibition of RORC as single treatment leads to cell death in ALCL cell lines, and, in combination with the ALK inhibitor crizotinib, enforces death induction in ALK+ ALCL. Our data highlight the crucial role of AP-1 / BATFs for ALCL biology and lead to the concept that ALCL might originate from ILC3 cells.

Discovery and characterization of super-enhancer-associated dependencies in diffuse large B cell lymphoma.

Project description:Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a biologically heterogeneous and clinically aggressive disease. Here, we explore the role of bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) proteins in DLBCL, using integrative chemical genetics and functional epigenomics. We observe highly asymmetric loading of bromodomain 4 (BRD4) at enhancers, with approximately 33% of all BRD4 localizing to enhancers at 1.6% of occupied genes. These super-enhancers prove particularly sensitive to bromodomain inhibition, explaining the selective effect of BET inhibitors on oncogenic and lineage-specific transcriptional circuits. Functional study of genes marked by super-enhancers identifies DLBCLs dependent on OCA-B and suggests a strategy for discovering unrecognized cancer dependencies. Translational studies performed on a comprehensive panel of DLBCLs establish a therapeutic rationale for evaluating BET inhibitors in this disease.
