Synergy between IDH2 and TET2 mutations modulates Tfh cell functional interaction with the angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma microenvironment [ATAC-Seq]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is a peripheral T-cell lymphoma that originates from T follicular helper (Tfh) cells and is characterized by a prominent tumor microenvironment (TME). IDH2 and TET2 mutations co-occur frequently in AITL but their contribution to tumorigenesis is poorly understood. We have developed an AITL mouse model that is driven by Idh2 and Tet2 mutations and in which Tfh cells exhibit aberrant transcriptomic and epigenetic programming. Neoplastic Tfh cells bearing combined Idh2 and Tet2 mutations show altered crosstalk with normal germinal center B cells that promotes B clonal expansion while decreasing Fas-FasL interaction and reducing B cell apoptosis. This altered Tfh-B cell communication could explain the unique relationship between Idh2 mutation and the prototypical AITL TME. Our mouse model also recapitulates important features of human IDH2-mutated AITL, providing a rationale for exploring the therapeutic targeting of Tfh-TME crosstalk for AITL treatment.
