Project description:Knowledge of essential oncogenic mutations can inspire therapeutic strategies that are synthetically lethal, affecting cancer cells bearing an oncogenic mutation while sparing normal cells. Lenalidomide is emerging as an active agent in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), especially for the activated B cell-like (ABC) subtype, but the mechanism of its action is unknown. Here we show that lenalidomide kills ABC DLBCL cells by augmenting the production of interferon 3/4, which these cells are predisposed to produce by their oncogenic MYD88 mutations. Lenalidomide stimulates the type I interferon pathway by suppressing IRF4, a repressor of IRF7. IRF4 is required for ABC DLBCL viability and is both a target and an amplifier of NF-kB signaling in this lymphoma subtype. Blockade of B cell receptor (BCR) signaling synergized with lenalidomide to reduce IRF4 levels, increase interferon 3/4 secretion, decrease NF-kB, and kill ABC DLBCL cells, suggesting therapeutic combinations that exploit the oncogenic signaling pathways in this cancer. For the OCILY10 cell line treated with 10 uM lenalidamide, a four point time course of 3, 6, 24, and 48 hours was analyzed (n=4). For the TMD8 cell line treated with 10 uM lenalidamide, a four point time course of 3, 6, 24, and 48 hours was analyzed (n=4).

Project description:RNA interference screens identified the transcription factor IRF4 as essential for the survival of the activated B-cell-like subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (ABC-DLBCL). Analysis of IRF4 genomic targets in ABC-DLBCL and Multiple Myeloma (MM) revealed that IRF4 regulates distinct networks in these cancers. IRF4 peaks in ABC-DLBCL, but not MM, were enriched for a composite ETS-IRF DNA motif that can be bound by heterodimers of IRF4 and the ETS-family transcription factor SPIB, whose expression is also essential for ABC-DLBCL survival. Gene expression and ChIP-Seq analysis identified essential genes co-regulated by IRF4 and SPIB. Together, these factors regulate a critical oncogenic loop by activating CARD11, which controls ABC-DLBCL survival via the NF-kB pathway. The interaction between IRF4 and SPIB presents an attractive therapeutic target in this aggressive lymphoma.

Project description:Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive cancer with two major biological subtypes, activated B-cell like (ABC) and germinal center B-cell-like (GCB) DLCBL. Self-antigen engagement of B-cell receptors (BCRs) in ABC tumors promotes their clustering in the plasma membrane, thereby initiating chronic active signaling and downstream activation of the pro-survival NF-kB and PI3 kinase pathways. The potential of therapeutics targeting chronic active BCR signaling in ABC DLBCL is highlighted by the frequent response of these tumors to inhibitors of BTK, a kinase that links BCR signaling to NF-kB activation. Here we used genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screens to identify regulators of the IRF4, a direct NF-kB target and essential transcription factor in ABC cells. Unexpectedly, inactivation of the oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) complex, which mediates N-linked protein glycosylation, reduced IRF4 expression and NF-kB activity in ABC cells, resulting in cell death. Using functional glycoproteogenomics we linked this phenomenon to defective BCR glycosylation. Pharmacologic inhibition of OST reduced the size and abundance of BCR microclusters in the plasma membrane and blocked their internalization. These reorganized BCRs associated with the inhibitory coreceptor CD22, which attenuated proximal BCR signaling, thereby reducing NF-kB and PI3 kinase activation. OST inhibition also blocked the trafficking of TLR9 to the endolysosomal compartment, preventing its association with the BCR in the My-T-BCR signaling complex that activates NF-kB in ABC cells. In GCB DLBCL, OST inhibition also attenuated constitutive BCR signaling, reducing PI3 kinase signaling and triggering cell death. Our data highlight the therapeutic potential of OST inhibitors for the treatment of diverse B cell malignancies in which constitutive BCR signaling is essential.

Project description:The ABC subtype of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) remains the least curable form of this lymphoma despite recent advances in therapy. We have combined structural and functional genomics to triangulate on new oncogenic mechanisms and devise new therapeutic strategies. RNA interference screen revealed a dependence of ABC DLBCL cell lines on MYD88 and IRAK1. High throughput resequencing of RNA (RNA-Seq) revealed frequent somatic mutations in MYD88 that preferentially occurred in the ABC DLBCL subtype. Remarkably, one third of ABC DLBCL tumor samples harbored the same amino acid substitution, L265P, in the MYD88 TIR domain at an evolutionarily invariant residue in its hydrophobic core. This mutation was rare or absent in two other DLBCL subtypes, but was observed in 9% of MALT lymphomas. At a lower frequency, multiple other mutations were observed in the MYD88 TIR domain, occurring in both the ABC and GCB subtypes of DLBCL. Survival of ABC DLBCL lines bearing the L265P mutation was sustained by the mutant but not wild type MYD88 isoform, demonstrating that this MYD88 mutant is oncogenic and gain-of-function. The MYD88 L265P mutant assembled a protein complex that spontaneous triggers the phosphorylation of IRAK1, leading to NF-kB signaling, secretion of the cytokines IL-6, IL-10 and interferon-b, and JAK kinase signaling. These findings demonstrate that the MYD88 signaling pathway is integral to the pathogenesis of ABC DLBCL, providing a genetic rationale for therapeutic targeting of the MYD88 signaling pathway in this lymphoma subtype. To generate a gene expression signature of MYD88 signaling in ABC DLBCL, the HBL-1 cell line was transduced with retroviral vectors expressing either shMYD88-4 or shMYD88-7. Following puromycin selection, shRNA expression was induced for 24 or 48 hours and gene expression was measured, comparing uninduced (Cy3) to induced (Cy5) cells, using genome-wide Agilent 4x44K oligonucleotide microarrays. A signature of NF-kB signaling in ABC DLBCL was generated by treating HBL-1 cells with the IkB kinase beta inhibitor MLN120B for 2h, 3h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 12h, 16h, and 24h (Cy5), and comparing their gene expression to untreated cells (Cy3). A signature of JAK signaling in ABC DLBCL was generated by treating HBL-1 cells with JAK inhibitor I (5 micromolar; Calbiochem) for 2h, 4h, 6h, and 8h (Cy5) and comparing their gene expression to vehicle-treated cells (DMSO, Cy3). RNA-Seq data not provided.

Project description:Constitutive activation of the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB) pathway is a hallmark of the activated B-cell-like (ABC) subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Recurrent mutations of NF-kB regulators that cause constitutive activity of this oncogenic pathway have been identified. However, it remains unclear how specific target genes are regulated. We identified the IkB-like protein NFKBIZ that binds NF-kB subunits and enhances transactivation of some NF-kB target genes while repressing others, to be upregulated in ACB compared to GCB DLBCL primary patient samples (p=5.1 x 10^-37). Knockdown of NFKBIZ by RNA interference was toxic to ABC but not GCB DLBCL cell lines. Gene expression profiling following NFKBIZ knockdown significantly downregulated a large number of NF-kB target genes, suggesting a central role in regulating NF-kB signaling. To further investigate the molecular mechanisms of how NFKBIZ mediates NF-kB signaling in ABC DLBCL, we performed immunoprecipitations and detected an interaction of NFKBIZ with both p50 and p52 NF-kB subunits, indicating that both the canonical and non-canonical NF-kB pathways are regulated by NFKBIZ. Collectively, our data imply that NFKBIZ is required for NF-kB signaling in ABC DLBCL and thus might represent a promising molecular target for future therapies. The complete dataset is comprised of three experiments with the male HBL-1 ABC DLBCL cell line: a) 8 paired GEP measurements after NFKBIZ inhibition by shRNA, b) 6 paired GEP measurements after applying the MLN inhibitor and c) 4 two-color measurements after applying a MALT inhibitor. This dataset includes 4 two-color measurements of the male HBL-1 ABC DLBCL cell line after applying a MALT inhibitor.
