Project description:The transcription factor E2A is essential for lymphocyte development. In this study, we describe a recurrent E2A gene deletion in at least 70% of patients with Sézary syndrome (SS), a subtype of T cell lymphoma. Loss of E2A results in enhanced proliferation and cell cycle progression via derepression of the proto-oncogene MYC and the cell cycle regulator CDK6. Furthermore, by examining the gene expression profile of SS cells following restoration of E2A expression, we identify a number of E2A-regulated genes that interfere with oncogenic signaling pathways including the Ras pathway. Several of these genes are down-regulated or lost in primary SS tumor cells. These data demonstrate a tumor suppressor function of E2A in human lymphoid cells and could help to develop new treatment strategies for human lymphomas with altered E2A activity. The E2A-deficient Sézary cell line Seax was transiently transfected with the E2A-expression constructs E47myc (a myc-tagged E47 construct) or E47-forced dimer (a construct coding for two covalently linked E47 molecules), respectively. Every experiment was performed as two replicates accompanied by control transfections with a Mock plasmid.

Project description:Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms originating in the skin, with mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS) representing the most common variants. The cellular origin of cutaneous lymphomas has remained controversial due to their immense phenotypic heterogeneity that obfuscates lineage reconstruction based on classical surface biomarkers. To overcome this heterogeneity and reconstruct the differentiation trajectory of malignant cells in MF and SS, T-cell receptor sequencing was performed in parallel with targeted transcriptomics at the single-cell resolution among cutaneous samples in MF and SS. Unsupervised lineage reconstruction showed that Sézary cells exist as a population of CD4+ T cells distinct from those in patch, plaque, and tumor MF. Further investigation of malignant cell heterogeneity in SS showed that Sézary cells phenotypically comprised at least three subsets based on differential proliferation potentials and expression of exhaustion markers. A Th1 polarized cell type, intermediate cell type, and exhausted Th2 polarized cell type were identified, with Th1 and Th2 polarized cells displaying divergent proliferation potentials. Collectively, these findings provide evidence to clarify the relationship between MF and SS, and reveal cell subsets in SS that suggest a possible mechanism for therapeutic resistance.

Project description:Although central to the diagnosis of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) is the malignant clonal proliferation of skin-tropic T cells the diagnosis represents a spectrum of diseases and clinical courses. Most patients have an indolent disease course with cycling of therapies, while others, especially in advanced stages of disease, have aggressive progression and poor median survival. Adding to the difficulty of treatment, Sézary syndrome (SS), a leukemic variant of CTCL, lacks highly characteristic phenotypic and genetic markers that would aid in not only the diagnosis of the malignancy, but also response to therapies. Using single-cell mRNA and T-cell-receptor sequencing, of peripheral blood immune cells in SS, we extensively mapped the transcriptomic variations of nearly 50,000 T cells of both malignant and nonmalignant origins. We identified potential diverging SS cell populations, including quiescent and proliferative populations shared across multiple patients.

Project description:Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphomas (CTCL) represent a group of hematopoietic malignancies that home to the skin and have no known molecular basis for disease pathogenesis. Sézary syndrome (SS) is the leukemic variant of CTCL. Currently, CTCL is incurable, highlighting the need for new therapeutic modalities. We have previously observed that combined small-molecule inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) β and glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) causes synergistic apoptosis in CTCL cell lines and patient cells. Through microarray analysis of a SS cell line, we surveyed global gene expression following combined PKCβ-GSK3 treatment to elucidate therapeutic targets responsible for cell death. Clinically relevant targets were defined as genes differentially expressed in SS patients that were modulated by combination-drug treatment of SS cells. Gene set enrichment analysis uncovered candidate genes enriched for an immune cell signature, specifically the T-cell receptor and MAPK signaling pathways. Further analysis identified p38 as a potential therapeutic target that is over-expressed in SS patients and decreased by synergistic-inhibitor treatment. This target was verified through small-molecule inhibition of p38 leading to cell death in both SS cell lines and patient cells. These data establish p38 as a new SS biomarker and potential therapeutic target for the treatment of CTCL.

Project description:This study used tumour and paired normal samples from 28 Sézary Syndrome (SS) patients to define recurrent regions of chromosomal aberrations. Our data identified recurrent losses of 17p13.2-p11.2 and 10p12.1-q26.3 occurring in 71 and 68% of cases respectively; common gains were detected for 17p11.2-q25.3 (64%) and chromosome 8/8q (50%). Moreover, we identified novel genomic lesions recurring in more than 30% of tumours: loss of 9q13-q21.33 and gain of 10p15.3-10p12.2. In the Sézary Syndrome cases analysed, we could find several small and few large Uniparental Disomies involving interstitial or telomeric regions of LOH occurring mainly for chromosome 10 and to a lesser extent for chromosome 9 and 17. In the attempt to correlate Copy Number data and clinical parameters we find a relationship between complex pattern of chromosomal aberrations, involving at least three recurrent Copy Number alterations, and shorter survival. Integrating mapping and transcriptional data we were able to identify a total of 113 deregulated transcripts in aberrant chromosomal regions that included cancer related genes such as members of the NF-kB pathway (BAG4, BTRC, NKIRAS2, PSMD3, TRAF2) that might explain its constitutive activation in CTCL. Matching this list of genes with those discriminating patients with different survival times we identify several common candidates that might exert critical roles in Sézary Syndrome, like BUB3 and PIP5K1B.

Project description:Suberoyl Anilide Hydroxamic Acid (SAHA), also named under Vorinostat, is an inhibitor of class I and II histone deacetylases (HDACi) approved by the USA Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of advanced and refractory cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL). Its limited efficacy led to its use in various combination therapies. Given that SAHA modifies the expression of many genes under control of Sp1 (or Sp3) transcription factors, we investigated here its association to the FDA-approved anticancer antibiotic Mithramycin (MitA), a direct inhibitor of the binding of Sp1 family factors to GC-rich DNA promoters. We found that MitA alone, similar to SAHA, efficiently induced the apoptotic death of peripheral blood lymphocytes from Sézary syndrome (SS) patients while the two drugs in combination demonstrated a synergistic effect that could even overcome the resistance to MitA used in mono-treatment. A deep analysis of gene expression profiling suggested that SAHA and MitA, either independently or synergistically, counteracted many intertwined pro-survival pathways mis-regulated in SS cells as TCR, Notch1, mTOR, PI3K/Akt, JAK/STAT and b-catenin pathways, as well as the resistance of these tumors to intrinsic and extrinsic apoptosis. This analysis also suggested that SAHA/MitA combined treatment might efficiently oppose to the abnormal adhesion, migration and invasive properties of SS cells, in addition their immunosuppressive behavior. Finally, from a mechanistic point of view, our observations strongly support a major role of additive or synergistic epigenetic modifications in the combined effect of the two drugs, with a rather limited contribution of Sp1 (or Sp3)-mediated transcriptional regulation. Peripheral blood tumor cells from Sézary patients were expanded in vitro and treated with SAHA and/or MitA previous to RNA isolation and Microarray processing. Deep analysis of gene expression profiling suggested that SAHA and Mithramycin A (MitA), either independently or synergistically, counteracted many interwined pro-survival pathways mis-regulated in Sézary cells, as well as abnormal adhesion, invasion and invasive properties. Data also favored additive or synergistic epigenetic modifications in the combined effect of the two drugs.
