MiRNA expression profiling of mycosis fungoides.

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNA species that regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally and are aberrantly expressed in many malignancies including lymphoma. However, the role of miRNAs in the pathogenesis of T-cell lymphoid malignancies is poorly understood. Previously we examined the miRNA profile of Sézary syndrome (Sz), a leukemia of skin-homing memory T cells. In this study we determined the complete miRNome of mycosis fungoides (MF), the most common type of cutaneous T cell lymphoma. The miRNA profile of skin biopsies from 19 patients with tumor stage MF and 12 patients with benign inflammatory dermatoses (eczema and lichen planus) were compared by microarray analysis. We identified 49 miRNAs that are differentially expressed in tumor stage MF compared to benign inflammatory dermatoses using ANOVA analysis (P < 0.05, Benjamini-Hochberg corrected). The majority of the differentially expressed miRNAs (30/49) were up-regulated in tumor stage MF. The most significant differentially expressed were miR-155 and miR-92a (both up-regulated in tumor stage MF), while miR-93 showed the highest up-regulation in tumor stage MF with a fold difference of 5.8. Differential expression of a selection of these miRNAs was validated by miRNA-Q-PCR on additional test groups (tumors and controls). None of the miRNAs up-regulated in tumor stage MF was previously shown to be up-regulated in Sz, and only 2 of the 19 miRNAs down-regulated in tumor stage MF were also down-regulated in Sz. Taken together this report is the first describing the miRNA signature of tumor stage MF.

Mycosis fungoides

Project description:Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common and best studied of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Three clinical cutaneous stages have been described (patch, plaque and tumor) as the disease progress developing also the disease lymph node, peripheral blood or systemic involvement in late stages. Clinical and pathologic diagnosis of early MF stages (patch and plaque) is difficult as its morphologic similarity to inflammatory dermatoses and low proportion of tumoral cells.

Identification of a Distinct miRNA Regulatory Network in the Tumor Microenvironment of Transformed Mycosis Fungoides.

Project description:Large cell transformation of mycosis fungoides (LCT-MF) occurs in 20-50% of advanced MF and is generally associated with poor response and dismal prognosis. Although different mechanisms have been proposed to explain the pathogenesis, little is known about the role of microRNAs (miRs) in transcriptional regulation of LCT-MF. Here, we investigated the miR and mRNA expression profile in lesional skin samples of patients with LCT-MF and non-LCT MF using RNA-seq analysis. We found miR-146a and miR-21 to be significantly upregulated, and miR-708 the most significantly downregulated miR in LCT-MF. Integration of miR and mRNA expression profiles revealed the miR-regulated networks in LCT-MF. Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) demonstrated the involvement of genes for ICOS-ICOSL, PD1-PDL1, NF-κB, E2F transcription, and molecular mechanisms of cancer signaling pathways. Quantitative real time (qRT)-PCR results of target genes were consistent with the RNA-seq data. We further identified the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) in LCT-MF. Moreover, our data indicated that miR-146a, -21 and -708 are associated with the immunosuppressive TME in LCT-MF. Collectively, our results suggest that the key LCT-MF associated miRs and their regulated networks may provide insights into its pathogenesis and identify promising targets for novel therapeutic strategies.

The Neoantigen Landscape of Mycosis Fungoides.

Project description:BackgroundMycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, for which there is no cure. Immune checkpoint inhibitors have been tried in MF but the results have been inconsistent. To gain insight into the immunogenicity of MF we characterized the neoantigen landscape of this lymphoma, focusing on the known predictors of responses to immunotherapy: the quantity, HLA-binding strength and subclonality of neoantigens.MethodsWhole exome and whole transcriptome sequences were obtained from 24 MF samples (16 plaques, 8 tumors) from 13 patients. Bioinformatic pipelines (Mutect2, OptiType, MuPeXi) were used for mutation calling, HLA typing, and neoantigen prediction. PhyloWGS was used to subdivide malignant cells into stem and clades, to which neoantigens were matched to determine their clonality.ResultsMF has a high mutational load (median 3,217 non synonymous mutations), resulting in a significant number of total neoantigens (median 1,309 per sample) and high-affinity neoantigens (median 328). In stage I disease most neoantigens were clonal but with stage progression, 75% of lesions had >50% subclonal antigens and 53% lesions had CSiN scores <1. There was very little overlap in neoantigens across patients or between different lesions on the same patient, indicating a high degree of heterogeneity.ConclusionsThe neoantigen landscape of MF is characterized by high neoantigen load and significant subclonality which could indicate potential challenges for immunotherapy in patients with advanced-stage disease.

STING expression is an independent prognostic factor in patients with mycosis fungoides.

Project description:Mycosis fungoides is recognized as an indolent cutaneous malignant T-cell lymphoma. In contrast, there are few therapeutic options for advanced forms of mycosis fungoides. Since immunotherapy is desirable as an alternative therapeutic option, identifying candidate molecules is an important goal for clinicians. Although tumor-derived negative immunomodulatory molecules, such as PD-1/PD-L1, have been identified in various malignancies, the useful positive immunological drivers of mycosis fungoides are largely unknown. We found that the stimulator of interferon (IFN) genes (STING) was highly upregulated in early-stage mycosis fungoides. Immunohistochemical examination revealed different STING staining patterns in patients with mycosis fungoides. Although there were no significant differences in clinical factors' characteristics, STING expression was associated with the survival of patients with mycosis fungoides. The survival rate was significantly poor in patients with low STING-expressing mycosis fungoides. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that low STING expression was associated with an increased hazard ratio. Our results indicate that STING expression independently influences the prognosis of mycosis fungoides.

Mycosis Fungoides and Sezary Syndrome: An Update.

Project description:Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas are a heterogeneous collection of non-Hodgkin lymphomas that arise from skin-tropic memory T lymphocytes. Among them, mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS) are the most common malignancies. Diagnosis requires the combination of clinical, pathologic, and molecular features. Significant advances have been made in understanding the genetic and epigenetic aberrations in SS and to some extent in MF. Several prognostic factors have been identified. The goal of treatment is to minimize morbidity and limit disease progression. However, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, considered for patients with advanced stages, is the only therapy with curative intent.

Mycosis fungoides progression could be regulated by microRNAs.

Project description:Differentiating early mycosis fungoides (MF) from inflammatory dermatitis is a challenge. We compare the differential expression profile of early-stage MF samples and benign inflammatory dermatoses using microRNA (miRNA) arrays. 114 miRNAs were found to be dysregulated between these entities. The seven most differentially expressed miRNAs between these two conditions were further analyzed using RT-PCR in two series comprising 38 samples of early MFs and 18 samples of inflammatory dermatitis. A series of 51 paraffin-embedded samples belonging to paired stages of 16 MF patients was also analyzed. MiRNAs 26a, 222, 181a and 146a were differentially expressed between tumoral and inflammatory conditions. Two of these miRNAs (miRNA-181a and miRNA-146a) were significantly deregulated between early and advanced MF stages. Bioinformatic analysis showed FOXP3 expression to be regulated by these miRNAs. Immunohistochemistry revealed the level of FOXP3 expression to be lower in tumoral MFs than in plaque lesions in paraffin-embedded tissue. A functional study confirmed that both miRNAs diminished FOXP3 expression when overexpressed in CTCL cells. The data presented here suggest that the analysis of a restricted number of miRNAs (26a, 222, 181a and 146a) could be sufficient to differentiate tumoral from reactive conditions. Moreover, these miRNAs seem to be involved in MF progression.

Mass Cytometric Analysis of Early-Stage Mycosis Fungoides.

Project description:Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common subtype of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Early-stage disease is characterized by superficial infiltrates of small- to medium-sized atypical epidermotropic T lymphocytes that are clonal related. Nevertheless, the percentage of atypical T cells is low with many admixed reactive immune cells. Despite earlier studies, the composition and spatial characteristics of the cutaneous lymphocytic infiltrate has been incompletely characterized. Here, we applied mass cytometry to profile the immune system in skin biopsies of patients with early-stage MF and in normal skin from healthy individuals. Single-cell suspensions were prepared and labeled with a 43-antibody panel, and data were acquired on a Helios mass cytometer. Unbiased hierarchical clustering of the data identified the major immune lineages and heterogeneity therein. This revealed patient-unique cell clusters in both the CD4+ and myeloid cell compartments but also phenotypically distinct cell clusters that were shared by most patients. To characterize the immune compartment in the tissue context, we developed a 36-antibody panel and performed imaging mass cytometry on MF skin tissue. This visualized the structure of MF skin and the distribution of CD4+ T cells, regulatory T cells, CD8+ T cells, malignant T cells, and various myeloid cell subsets. We observed clusters of CD4+ T cells and multiple types of dendritic cells (DCs) identified through differential expression of CD11c, CD1a, and CD1c in the dermis. These results indicated substantial heterogeneity in the composition of the local immune infiltrate but suggest a prominent role for clustered CD4-DC interactions in disease pathogenesis. Probably, the local inhibition of such interactions may constitute an efficient treatment modality.

Denileukin diftitox for the treatment of CD25 low-expression mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome.

Project description:In a placebo-controlled study, denileukin diftitox (DD) was effective against cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) expressing CD25. An open-label companion study examined the efficacy and safety of DD in 36 patients with skin biopsies containing < 20% CD25 cells by immunohistochemistry staining (CD25 low expression). Patients received DD 18 μg/kg/day for 5 consecutive days every 3 weeks for up to eight courses. The primary endpoint, overall response rate, was 30.6% (95% confidence interval: 16.3, 48.1), 33.3% for stage IIA or lower disease, and 26.7% for stage IIB or greater disease. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was > 487 days, and median time to treatment failure was 68.5 days. No difference in PFS by disease stage was observed. The safety profile of DD in CD25 low-expression disease was similar to that in CD25+ disease. These findings suggest that CD25 low expression does not preclude a meaningful clinical response to DD in patients with CTCL.
