Conditional expression of HGAL leads to the development of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in mice

ABSTRACT: We used microarrays to investigate gene expression changes in splenic cells from HGAL transgenic mice (Rosa26HGAL/Sca1-Cre; Rosa26HGAL/Mb1-Cre and Rosa26HGAL/Aid-Cre). Diffuse large B cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) are clinically and genetically heterogeneous tumors. Deregulation of diverse biological processes specific to B cells, such as B cell receptor (BCR) signaling and motility regulation contribute to lymphomagenesis. HGAL is a B cell specific adaptor protein controlling BCR signaling and B lymphocyte motility. In normal B cells it is expressed in Germinal Center (GC) B lymphocytes and promptly downregulated upon further differentiation. Majority of DLBCL tumors, mainly GC B cell but also activated types, express HGAL. To investigate the consequences of constitutive expression of HGAL in vivo, we generated mice that conditionally express the human HGAL at different stages of hematopoietic development using three different restricted Cre-mediated approaches to initiate expression of HGAL in hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), pro-B cells or GC B cells, respectively. Following immune stimulation, we observed larger GCs in mice where HGAL expression was initiated in GC B cells. All three mouse strains developed DLBCL at a frequency of 12-30% starting at age 13 months, leading to shorter survival. Immunohistochemical studies showed that all analyzed tumors were of the GC B cell type. Exon sequencing demonstrated mutations reported in human DLBCL. Our data demonstrate that constitutive enforced expression of HGAL leads to DLBCL development.

Divergent Mechanisms of Oncogenic B Cell Receptor Signaling in Lymphoma

Project description:B cell receptor (BCR) signaling has emerged as a therapeutic target in B cell lymphomas, but the precise deployment of inhibitors to target oncogenic BCR signaling requires detailed knowledge of the signaling cascades that the BCR triggers in individual tumors. Here, we have used CRISPR-Cas9 screens to investigate whether the ABC and GCB molecular subtypes of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) utilize distinct BCR signaling modes to sustain their proliferation and survival. Constitutive germinal center (GC) BCR signaling in GCB DLBCLs requires the BCR, CD19 and SYK engaging PI(3) kinase for survival. In ABC DLBCLs with oncogenic mutations in the BCR and MYD88, a novel BCR-TLR9-MYD88 signaling supercomplex is assembled on endolysosomal membranes that engages NF-kB. Our data explain why this subset of ABC DLBCL tumors respond frequently to ibrutinib, an inhibitor of BCR-dependent NF- kB activation, while GCB DLBCLs are insensitive, and thus provide a roadmap for the rational development of BCR pathway inhibitors in molecular subtypes of DLBCL.

Targeting N-linked Glycosylation for the Therapy of Human Lymphoma

Project description:Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive cancer with two major biological subtypes, activated B-cell like (ABC) and germinal center B-cell-like (GCB) DLCBL. Self-antigen engagement of B-cell receptors (BCRs) in ABC tumors promotes their clustering in the plasma membrane, thereby initiating chronic active signaling and downstream activation of the pro-survival NF-B and PI3 kinase pathways. The potential of therapeutics targeting chronic active BCR signaling in ABC DLBCL is highlighted by the frequent response of these tumors to inhibitors of BTK, a kinase that links BCR signaling to NF-B activation. Here we used genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screens to identify regulators of the IRF4, a direct NF-kB target and essential transcription factor in ABC cells. Unexpectedly, inactivation of the oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) complex, which mediates N-linked protein glycosylation, reduced IRF4 expression and NF-B activity in ABC cells, resulting in cell death. Using functional glycoproteogenomics we linked this phenomenon to defective BCR glycosylation. Pharmacologic inhibition of OST reduced the size and abundance of BCR microclusters in the plasma membrane and blocked their internalization. These reorganized BCRs associated with the inhibitory coreceptor CD22, which attenuated proximal BCR signaling, thereby reducing NF-B and PI3 kinase activation. OST inhibition also blocked the trafficking of TLR9 to the endolysosomal compartment, preventing its association with the BCR in the My-T-BCR signaling complex that activates NF-B in ABC cells. In GCB DLBCL, OST inhibition also attenuated constitutive BCR signaling, reducing PI3 kinase signaling and triggering cell death. Our data highlight the therapeutic potential of OST inhibitors for the treatment of diverse B cell malignancies in which constitutive BCR signaling is essential.

Critical role of PI3K signaling for NF-κB–dependent survival in a subset of activated B-cell–like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cells

Project description:The activated B-cell–like (ABC) subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) represents a very aggressive human lymphoma entity. Constitutive NF-κB activation caused by chronic active B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling is common feature of many ABC DLBCL cells; however, the pathways linking BCR signaling to the NF-κB prosurvival network are largely unknown. Here we report that constitutive activity of PI3K and the downstream kinase PDK1 are essential for the viability of two ABC DLBCL cell lines that carry mutations in the BCR proximal signaling adaptor CD79B. In these cells, PI3K inhibition reduces NF-κB activity and decreases the expression of NF-κB target genes. Furthermore, PI3K and PDK1 are required for maintaining MALT1 protease activity, which promotes survival of the affected ABC DLBCL cells. These results demonstrate a critical function of PI3K-PDK1 signaling upstream of MALT1 pro- tease and NF-κB in distinct ABC DLBCL cells and provide a rationale for the pharmacologic use of PI3K inhibitors in DLBCL therapy.

Transcriptional profiling of murine normal germinal center B cells (YFPstopF/+; Cg1Cre/+)

Project description:Germinal center (GC) B cells have been presented as the cell-of-origin of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and these cells can be functionally targeted with the use of Cgamma1-cre mice (Cg1cre) in wich the expression of Cre recombinase is induced by transcription of the Ig gamma1 constant region gene segment. Here, we aimed to develop and characterize novel immunocompetent multi-lesion mouse models of DLBCL that, by triggering genetic alterations specifically in GC B cells, recapitulate relatively fast the molecular, cellular and tumor microenvironment of aggressive human DLBCL.

BET inhibition targets ABC-DLBCL constitutive B-cell receptor signaling through PAX5

Project description:B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling is essential for the diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) subtype that originates from activated B-cells (ABC). ABC-DLBCL cells are sensitive to Bruton tyrosine kinase intervention. However, ABC-DLBCL patients had overall response rates of 33-37% for Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors, suggesting the evaluation of combination-based treatment for improved efficacy. We investigated the efficacy and mechanism of AZD5153 combined with the Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor acalabrutinib in ABC-DLBCL preclinical models. AZD5153 is a bivalent BET inhibitor that simultaneously engages the two bromodomains of BRD4. Adding AZD5153 to acalabrutinib demonstrated a combination benefit in ABC-DLBCL cell lines and PDX models. Differential expression analyses in treated tumors identified significant alterations of BCR, PAX5, RELB/alternative NFκB, and toll-like receptor/interferon signaling. PAX5 is a transcription factor for BCR signaling genes and may be critical to the perpetually active BCR signaling in ABC-DLBCL. We demonstrate that AZD5153 decreases PAX5 expression, while acalabrutinib disruption to BCR signaling inhibits PAX5 activation. Furthermore, several interferons were decreased by AZD5153 and acalabrutinib in tumors. Adding IFNß1 to cells in vitro restored PAX5 activation. Our results demonstrate AZD5153 enhances the efficacy of acalabrutinib through PAX5 and BCR mechanisms that are critical for ABC-DLBCL.

Elucidation of tonic and activated B cell receptor signaling in Burkitt’s lymphoma provides insights into regulation of cell survival

Project description:B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling promotes the survival of malignant B cells, such as Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL) and the activated B-cell-like subtype of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (ABC-DLBCL). In contrast to ABC DLBCL, where malignant cells require chronic activation of the BCR for their survival, BL cells are dependent on tonic BCR signaling that is antigen-independent. Elucidation and systematic comparison of tonic and activated BCR signaling led to the identification of novel signaling effectors, among them ACTN4 and ARFGEF2, which were identified as regulators of BL cell survival. As tonic and activated BCR signaling are relevant for important aspects of B cell biology, our study helps in gaining an understanding of BCR-induced processes not only in malignant but potentially also physiological settings.
