Project description:Background: MYC is a transcription factor encoded by the c-MYC gene (thereafter termed MYC). MYC is key transcription factor involved in many central cellular processes including ribosomal biogenesis. MYC is overexpressed in the majority of human tumours including aggressive B-cell lymphoma especially Burkitt's lymphoma. Although Burkitt's lymphoma is a highlight example for MYC overexpression due to a chromosomal translocation, no global analysis of MYC binding sites by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) followed by global next generation sequencing (ChIP-Seq) has been conducted so far in Burkitt's lymphoma. Methodology/Principal Findings: ChIP-Seq was performed with a MYC-specific antibody giving rise to 7,054 predicted MYC binding sites after bioinformatics analysis of a total of 19 million sequence reads. In line with previous findings, binding sites accumulate in gene sets known to be involved in the ribosomal biogenesis, histone acetyltransferase and methyltransferase complexes and the cell cycle demonstrating a regulatory role of MYC in these processes. Unexpectedly, MYC binding sites also accumulate in genes typically expressed in mature B-cells. To assess the functional consequences of altered MYC binding, the ChIP-Seq data were supplemented with siRNA mediated knock-downs of MYC in BL cell lines followed by gene expression profiling. Interestingly, amongst others, genes involved in B-cell function were up-regulated in response to MYC silencing. Conclusion/Significance: The 7,054 MYC-binding sites identified by our ChIP-Seq approach greatly extend the knowledge regarding MYC binding in Burkitt's lymphoma and sheds further light on the enormous complexity of the MYC regulatory network. Especially our observation that (i) many B-cell relevant genes are targeted by MYC and (ii) that MYC down-regulation leads to an up-regulation of B-cell genes highlights an interesting aspect of BurkittM-BM-4s lymphoma biology. [ChIP-Seq] Analysis of MYC DNA binding sites by ChiP-Seq in 5 BurkittM-BM-4s lymphoma cell lines (Raji, Ramos, Blue1, BL41, CA46) [mRNA expression profiling] siRNA-mediated knock-down of MYC was done employing the BL cell lines Raji, BL41 and Blue1 in order to detect MYC-driven gene expression changes. For this purpose, the cells were Amaxa-transfected using MYC smart pool siRNA and control siRNA (Thermo Scientific/Dharmacon, Erembodegem, Belgium), respectively.

Project description:Burkitt lymphoma (BL) can often be cured by intensive chemotherapy, but the toxicity of such therapy precludes its use in the elderly and in patients with endemic BL (eBL) in developing countries, necessitating new strategies. The normal germinal center B cell is the presumed cell of origin for both BL and diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), yet gene expression analysis suggests that these malignancies may utilize different oncogenic pathways. BL is subdivided into a sporadic subtype (sBL) that is diagnosed in developed countries, the EBV-associated eBL subtype, and an HIV-associated subtype (hivBL), but it is unclear whether these subtypes employ similar or divergent oncogenic mechanisms. Here we used high throughput RNA sequencing and RNA interference screening to discover essential regulatory pathways that cooperate with MYC, the defining oncogene of this cancer. In 70% of sBL cases, mutations affecting the transcription factor TCF3 (E2A) or its negative regulator ID3 fostered TCF3 dependency. TCF3 activated the pro-survival PI(3) kinase pathway in BL, in part by augmenting tonic B cell receptor signaling. In 38% of sBL cases, oncogenic CCND3 mutations produced highly stable cyclin D3 isoforms that drive cell cycle progression. These findings suggest opportunities to improve therapy for patients with BL. Gene expression was analyzed using Agilent human 4X44K oligo gene expression arrays. Cell lines (Namalwa, BL41, Daudi, Defauw, and THOMAS) were infected with control (empty vector, Cy3) paired with ID3 (Cy5) or control (shControl, Cy3) paired with shTCF3 (Cy5) constructs, and changes in gene expression were monitored over time after induction of the constructs with doxycyclin. In Namalwa (n=8) and THOMAS (n=4) cell lines, a four timepoint series (24, 48, 72, 96 hours) of construct induction was analyzed, for a total of 12 arrays. In BL41 (n=4), Daudi (n=4) and Defauw (n=4) cell lines, a two timepoint series (24 and 48 hours) of construct induction was analyzed, for a total of 12 arrays. In addition, two cell lines (Daudi and THOMAS) were treated with Rapamycin (100 pM) and paired with a DMSO control in a four timepoint series (3, 6, 12 and 24 hours) for a total of 8 arrays.

Project description:FOXO1 has an oncogenic role in adult germinal center derived lymphomas, in which mutations, predominately within the AKT recognition motif, cause nuclear retention of FOXO1 resulting in increased cell proliferation. To determine the prevalence and distribution of FOXO1 mutations in pediatric Burkitt lymphoma (BL), we sequenced a large number of sporadic and endemic BL patient samples. We report a high frequency of FOXO1 mutations in both sporadic and endemic BL at diagnosis, occurring in 23/78 (29%) and 48/89 (54%) samples respectively, as well as 8/16 (50%) cases at relapse. Mutations of T24 were the most common in sporadic BL but were rare in endemic cases, in which mutations of residue S22, also within the AKT recognition motif, were the most frequent. FOXO1 mutations were almost always present in the major tumor cell clone but were not associated with outcome. Analysis of other recurrent mutations reported in BL revealed that FOXO1 mutations were associated with mutations of DDX3X and ARID1A, but not MYC, TCF3/ID3 or members of the phosphatidylinositol 3’ OH kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway. We further show common nuclear retention of the FOXO1 protein, irrespective of mutation status, suggesting alternative unknown mechanisms for maintaining FOXO1 transcriptional activity in BL. CRISPR/Cas9 knockout of FOXO1 in an endemic cell line produced a significant decrease in cell proliferation, supporting an oncogenic role for FOXO1 in endemic BL. Thus, FOXO1 is frequently mutated in both sporadic and endemic BL and may offer a potential therapeutic target for pediatric BL patients worldwide.

Project description:FOXO1 acts as a tumor suppressor in solid tumors. The oncogenic PI3K pathway suppresses FOXO1 transcriptional activity by enforcing its nuclear exclusion upon AKT-mediated phosphorylation. We show here abundant nuclear expression of FOXO1 in Burkitt lymphoma (BL), a germinal center (GC) B cell derived lymphoma whose pathogenesis is linked to PI3K activation. Recurrent FOXO1 mutations which prevent AKT targeting and lock the transcription factor in the nucleus are used by BL to circumvent mutual exclusivity between PI3K and FOXO1 activation. Using genome editing in human and mouse lymphomas in which MYC and PI3K cooperate synergistically in tumor development we demonstrate pro-proliferative and anti-apoptotic activity of FOXO1 in BL and identify its nuclear localization as an oncogenic event in GC B cell derived lymphomagenesis.
