Dual Biological Role and Clinical Impact of De Novo Chromatin Activation in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia


ABSTRACT: Previous studies have reported that chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) shows a de novo chromatin activation pattern as compared to normal B cells. Here, we explored whether the level of chromatin activation is related to the clinical behavior of CLL. We identified that in some regulatory regions, increased de novo chromatin activation is linked to clinical progression whereas, in other regions, it is associated with an indolent course. We next developed two prognostic scores for progressive and indolent disease, respectively, calculated a single score representing the balance between them, and further generated surrogate scores based on gene and protein expression of the target genes. The balance score outperformed the clinical impact of the two individual scores, as it seemed to capture the prognostic information provided by each of them. Biologically, CLLs with higher balance score showed increased activation of TNF-α/NF-κB and mTOR signaling pathways. Regulatory programs related to progression were predominantly activated in the lymph node microenvironment, whereas those linked to indolent disease appeared to be microenvironment-independent. Finally, we thoroughly validated the balance score as a powerful and independent quantitative prognostic factor for time to first treatment across independent CLL cohorts and data modalities such as chromatin, transcriptome or proteome data. Our findings support the concept that de novo acquisition of chromatin changes in CLL cells plays a dual biological role, and that the balance between pro-progression and pro-indolence is a strong independent determinant of CLL prognosis.
