Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm: genomics mark epigenetic dysregulation as a primary therapeutic target

ABSTRACT: Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare and aggressive hematologic malignancy for which there is still no effective therapy. In order to identify genetic alterations useful for a new treatment design, we used whole-exome sequencing to analyze 14 BPDCN patients and the patient-derived CAL-1 cell line. The functional enrichment analysis of mutational data reported the epigenetic regulatory program to be the most significantly undermined (P<0.0001). In particular, twenty-five epigenetic modifiers were found mutated (e.g. ASXL1, TET2, SUZ12, ARID1A, PHF2, CHD8); ASXL1 was the most frequently affected (28.6% of cases). To evaluate the impact of the identified epigenetic mutations at the gene-expression and Histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation/acetylation levels, we performed additional RNA and pathology tissue-chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing experiments. The patients displayed enrichment in gene signatures regulated by methylation and modifiable by decitabine administration, shared common H3K27-acetylated regions, and had a set of cell-cycle genes aberrantly up-regulated and marked by promoter acetylation. Collectively, the integration of sequencing data showed the potential of a therapy based on epigenetic agents. Through the adoption of a preclinical BPDCN mouse model, established by CAL-1 cell line xenografting, we demonstrated the efficacy of the combination of the epigenetic drugs 5’-azacytidine and decitabine in controlling disease progression in vivo.

Recurrent 8q24 rearrangement in BPDCN: association with immunoblastoid cytomorphology, MYC expression, and drug response (CAL-1, JQ1 treatment)

Project description:Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare skin-tropic hematological malignancy of uncertain pathogenesis and poor prognosis. We examined 118 BPDCN cases for cytomorphology, MYC locus rearrangement, and MYC expression. Sixty-two (53%) and 41 (35%) showed the classic and immunoblastoid cytomorphology, respectively. Forty-one (38%) MYC+BPDCN (positive for rearrangement and expression) and 59 (54%) MYC-BPDCN (both negative) cases were identified. Immunoblastoid cytomorphology was significantly associated with MYC+BPDCN. All examined MYC+BPDCNs were negative for MYB/MYBL1 rearrangement (0/36). Clinically, MYC+BPDCN showed older onset, poorer outcome, and localized skin tumors more commonly than MYC-BPDCN. MYC was demonstrated by expression profiling as one of the clearest discriminators between CAL-1 (MYC+BPDCN) and PMDC05 (MYC-BPDCN) cell lines, and its shRNA knockdown suppressed CAL-1 viability. Inhibitors for bromodomain and extraterminal protein (BETis) and aurora kinases (AKis) inhibited CAL-1 growth more effectively than PMDC05. We further showed that a BCL2 inhibitor was effective in both CAL-1 and PMDC05, indicating that this inhibitor can be used to treat MYC-BPDCN, to which BETis and AKis are probably less effective. Our data will provide a rationale for the development of new treatment strategies for patients with BPDCN in accordance with precision medicine.

Newly-Discovered Neural Features Expand the Pathobiological Knowledge of Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm

Project description:Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare and highly aggressive hematologic malignancy originating from plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). The microRNA expression profile of BPDCN was compared to that of normal pDCs and the impact of miRNA dysregulation on the BPDCN transcriptional program was assessed. MiRNA and gene expression pro-filing data were integrated to obtain the BPDCN miRNA-regulatory network. The biological process mainly dysregulated by this network was predicted to be neurogenesis, a phenomenon raising growing interest in solid tumors. Neurogenesis was explored in BPDCN by querying different molecular sources (RNA sequencing, Chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing, and immunohistochemistry). It was shown that BPDCN cells upregulated neural mitogen genes possibly critical for tumor dissemination, expressed neuronal progenitor markers involved in cell migration, exchanged acetylcholine neurotransmitter, and overexpressed multiple neural re-ceptors that may stimulate tumor proliferation, migration and cross-talk with the nervous system. Most neural genes upregulated in BPDCN are currently investigated as therapeutic targets.

A Druggable TCF4- and BRD4-dependent Transcriptional Network Sustains Malignancy in Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm (ATAC-Seq)

Project description:Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is an aggressive and largely incurable hematologic malignancy originating from plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). Using RNA interference screening, we identified the E-box transcription factor TCF4 as a master regulator of the BPDCN oncogenic program. TCF4 served as a faithful diagnostic marker of BPDCN, and its downregulation caused the loss of the BPDCN-specific expression program and apoptosis. High-throughput drug screening revealed that bromodomain and extra-terminal domain inhibitors (BETi's) induce BPDCN apoptosis, which was attributable to disruption of the TCF4-dependent transcriptional network and loss of BPDCN-specific super-enhancers. BETi's retarded the growth of BPDCN xenografts, supporting their clinical evaluation in this recalcitrant malignancy.

A druggable TCF4- and BRD4-dependent transcriptional network sustains malignancy in blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm

Project description:We combined loss-of-function RNA interference screening and a high-throughput drug toxicity screening to define novel therapeutic targets in blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN), an aggressive hematologic malignancy for which no curative therapy exists. The E-box transcription factor TCF4 emerged as the master transcriptional regulator of the BPDCN oncogenic program, a finding that can be exploited for the accurate molecular diagnosis of BPDCN. Genetic interference with the TCF4-dependent network induced a rewiring of BPDCN gene expression, resulting in apoptosis. Treatment of BPDCN lines with bromodomain and extra-terminal domain inhibitors (BETi's) down regulated TCF4 and its target gene network, inducing apoptosis both in vitro and retarding growth of BPDCN xenografts in vivo, supporting the clinical evaluation of BETi's in this lethal cancer.
