Project description:FYN-TRAF3IP2 expression in hematopoietic progenitors induces T cell transformation in mice and cooperates with loss of the Tet2 tumor suppressor in PTCL development. To investigate the oncogenic activity of FYN-TRAF3IP2, we analyzed the lymphomagenic effects of expressing this gene fusion alone and in cooperation with loss of the Tet2 tumor suppressor gene in vivo. In these experiments, we first infected hematopoietic progenitors from CD4-specific tamoxifen-inducible Cre Tet2 conditional knockout mice (CD4 Cre-ERT2, Tet2fl/fl) with bicistronic retroviruses expressing wild type TRAF3IP2 and GFP, FYN-TRAF3IP2 and GFP, or GFP alone and injected these intravenously into isogenic recipients. Transplanted mice were then treated with vehicle only, to test the oncogenic effects of TRAF3IP2, FYN-TRAF3IP2 or GFP expression; or with tamoxifen, to evaluate the effects of TRAF3IP2, FYN-TRAF3IP2 or GFP expression in concert with genetic loss of Tet2 in CD4 T cells. In this setting, all animals transplanted with GFP-expressing progenitors remained lymphoma free at the end of follow up and one animal transplanted with wild type TRAF3IP2 GFP expressing cells developed a CD8+ T cell lymphoma. In contrast, 4/10 (40%) vehicle treated mice transplanted with FYN-TRAF3IP2-expressing cells and 5/10 (50%) tamoxifen treated mice transplanted with FYN-TRAF3IP2-expressing cells developed clonal CD4-restricted mature T cell lymphomas. To further analyze the lymphomagenic effect of the fusion gene, we performed transcriptomic profiling of FYN-TRAF3IP2-induced mouse CD4+ GFP+ PTCL tumor lymphocytes compared with normal mouse CD4+ T cells by RNAseq.

Project description:Tumor cells can induce their own advantageous microenvironment. Here, we describe aberrant cathepsin S (CTSS) activity to modulate T-cell activation in follicular lymphoma (FL). In donor-derived FLs following bone marrow transplantation, we identified independent acquisition of CTSS mutations at Y132 in the donor´s and recipient's tumors. In a larger cohort, 6% of FL (20/312) harbored CTSS mutations, mostly Y132D, another 14% had CTSS amplification (40/280). Y132D leads to accelerated conversion from pro-CTSS to active CTSS and increased substrate cleavage, including CD74, which regulates MHC-II restricted antigen-presentation. In co-culture experiments, CTSS mutant lymphoma cells induced increased antigen-specific CD4+ T-cell activation. Moreover, antigen-processing was the top upregulated pathway in CTSS mutant primary FL biopsies. Thus, aberrant CTSS activity is a promising target in lymphoma.

Project description:CTLA4-CD28 gene fusion has been reported to occur in diverse types of T-cell lymphoma. The fusion event is expected to convert inhibitory signals to activating signals promoting proliferation and potentially transformation of T-cells. To test the function of the CTLA4-CD28 fusion gene in vivo, we generated a murine model that expresses the gene in a T-cell specific manner. The transgenic mice show shorter life spans and inflammatory responses including lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly. T-cells show higher levels of activation and infiltrate various organs including skin and lung. T-cells, in particular CD4+ helper T-cells, were also readily transplanted to immunocompromised mice. Transcriptomic profiling revealed that the gene expression pattern in CD4+ cells most closely resembles that of adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL). Consistently, we detected supernumerary Foxp3+ cells in transgenic and transplanted mice. This is the first report demonstrating the transforming activity of the CTLA4-CD28 fusion gene in vivo, and this murine model should be useful in dissecting the molecular events subsequent to the mutation in ATLL.

Project description:Background Follicular lymphoma (FL), the most common indolent non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, is a heterogeneous disease and a paradigm of the contribution of immune tumor microenvironment to disease onset, progression, and therapy resistance. Patient-derived models are scarce and fail to reproduce immune phenotypes and therapeutic responses. Methods To capture disease heterogeneity and microenvironment cues, we developed a patient-derived lymphoma spheroid (FL-PDLS) model culturing FL cells from lymph nodes (LN) with an optimized cytokine cocktail that mimics LN stimuli and maintains tumor cell viability. Results FL-PDLS, mainly composed of tumor B cells (60% on average) and autologous T cells (13% CD4 and 3% CD8 on average, respectively), rapidly organizes into patient-specific three-dimensional (3D) structures of three different morphotypes according to 3D imaging analysis. RNAseq analysis indicates that FL-PDLS reproduces FL hallmarks with the overexpression of cell cycle, BCR, or mTOR signaling related gene sets. FL-PDLS also recapitulates the exhausted immune phenotype typical of FL-LN, including expression of BTLA, TIGIT, PD-1, TIM-3, CD39 and CD73 on CD3+ T cells. These features render FL-PDLS an amenable system for immunotherapy testing. With this aim, we demonstrate that the combination of obinutuzumab (anti-CD20) and nivolumab (anti-PD1) reduces tumor load in a significant proportion of FL-PDLS. Interestingly, B cell depletion inversely correlates with the percentage of CD8+ cells positive for PD-1 and TIM-3. Conclusions In summary, FL-PDLS is a robust patient-derived 3D system that can be used as a tool to mimic FL pathology and to test novel immunotherapeutic approaches in a context of personalized medicine.

Project description:Cancer somatic mutations can generate neoantigens that distinguish malignant from normal cells. Such neoantigens have been implicated in response to immunotherapies including immune checkpoint blockade, yet their identification and validation remains challenging. Here we discover neoantigens in human mantle cell lymphomas using an integrated strategy for genomic and proteomic tumor antigen discovery that interrogates peptides presented within the tumor major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and class II molecules. We applied this approach to systematically identify neoantigen peptides in diagnostic tumor specimens from 17 patients and several cell lines. Remarkably, the discovered neoantigenic peptides were invariably derived from the lymphoma immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy or light chain variable regions. Although we could identify MHC presentation of private germline polymorphic alleles, no mutated peptides were recovered from non-Ig somatically mutated genes. The immunoglobulin variable region somatic mutations were almost exclusively presented by MHC-II. We found T-cells specific for an immunoglobulin-derived neoantigen in the blood of a patient using MHC-II tetramers, and these T-cell clones expanded in frequency following tumor vaccination. These results demonstrate that an integrative approach combining MHC isolation, peptide identification and exome sequencing is an effective platform to uncover tumor neoantigens. Application of this strategy to human lymphoma implicates immunoglobulin neoantigens as targets for lymphoma immunotherapy.

Project description:Lymphoma growth is facilitated by the well-balanced infrastructure of the microenvironment in lymph nodes (LN). LNs undergo rapid expansion during lymphoma progression, often accompanied by excessive blood vessel growth. Here we report that aggressive lymphoma cause severe high endothelial venule (HEV) regression which impairs lymphocyte recirculation. In this study, we used transferred (i.v.) Eµ-Myc tumor cells as a mouse model of aggressive lymphoma. Blood endothelial cells from tumor bearing and control LNs were isolated by FACS and processed for single-cell RNA sequencing. The results revealed a detrimental mechanisms causing HEV-dedifferentiation during lymphoma growth with potential implications on tumor-targeting immune surveillance and strategies of immune therapy in LNs

Project description:Angiogenesis plays a key role in tumor metastasis. Many genes may act in this process including formation of vessels, immune evasion,etc. Different gene expression profiles between lymphoma endothelium cells and reactive lymph node-derived endothelium cells may uncover these genes. And intensive mechanism researches on such key genes may explain the mechanisim of tumor-specific angiogenesis and help to explore effective treatment strategies to prevent/reverse tumor metastasis. We use microarrays to detail gene expression profiles of human lymphoma endothelium and reactive lymph node-derived endothelium. Lymph nodes were taken from surgery samples of cases pathologically diagnosed DLBCL (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma), PTL (peripheral T cell lymphoma) and reactive lymph nodes. The pure endothelium cells were isolated by LCM after immunohistochemical staining of CD34. We found Tim-3 was preferentially expressed on lymphoma-derived ECs via different expression profiles between lymphoma ECs and reactive lymph node-derived ECs. Intensive researches were carried out on Tim-3-expressing -ECs and we found that Tim-3 -expressing-Ecs may play important role on EC-mediated tumor evasion.
