Gene expression analysis of immune privileged site-associated DLBCL: The effect of HLA class II downregulation

ABSTRACT: Loss of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) expression on tumor cells is frequent in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) arising in immune-privileged sites such as the testis and central nervous system and is associated with small homozygous deletions of HLA-DQ/DR and larger hemizygous deletions of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region. To better understand the significance of downregulation of HLA class II expression in relation to the homozygous and hemizygous deletions, we analyzed global gene expression patterns in a series of 26 testicular diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL) after characterization of these deletions. Low levels of HLA-DR mRNA in whole testicular DLBCL samples were associated with a strong downregulation of numerous immune-related genes specific for T-cells, macrophages, antigen presentation and processing, lymphocyte activation, chemokines and chemokine receptors and the complement system. Interestingly, hemizygous and homozygous deletions in the MHC region did not have any additional impact on global gene expression. Keywords: Gene expression

Genomic alterations and gene expression in primary diffuse large B cell lymphomas of immune privileged sites

Project description:Primary diffuse large B cell lymphomas of different immune-privileged sites (IP-DLBCL) share many clinical and biological features, such as a relatively poor prognosis, preferential dissemination to other immune-privileged sites and deletion of the HLA region, which suggests that IP-DLBCL represents a separate entity. To further investigate the nature of IP-DLBCL, we investigated site-specific genomic aberrations in 16 testicular, 9 central nervous system (CNS) and 15 nodal DLBCL using array-CGH. We also determined minimal common regions of gain and loss. Using robust algorithms, the array-CGH data were combined with gene expression data to explore pathways deregulated by chromosomal aberrations. Keywords: comparative genomic hybridisation, gene expression, tumor type comparison Whole tissue sections of 16 testicular, 9 central nervous system (CNS) and 15 nodal DLBCL were used for isolation of genomic DNA and total RNA. Genomic aberrations were determined using an in house printed CGH array containing ~3700 large genomic insert clones. Gene expression was analyzed on Affymetrix HU133 plus 2.0 oligo arrays. Gene expression data and arrayCGH data were combined using the R program ACE-it.

Expression levels of HLA-DRB and HLA-DQ are associated with MHC Class II haplotypes in healthy individuals and rheumatoid arthritis patients

Project description:HLA-DRB1 alleles have been associated with several autoimmune diseases. In anti-citrullinated protein antibody positive rheumatoid arthritis (ACPA-positive RA), HLA-DRB1 shared epitope (SE) alleles are the major genetic risk factors. In order to investigate whether expression of different alleles of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) Class II genes influence functions of immune cells, we investigated transcriptomic profiles of a variety of immune cells from healthy individuals carrying different HLA-DRB1 alleles. Sequencing libraries from peripheral blood mononuclear cells, CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and CD14+ monocytes of 32 genetically pre-selected healthy female individuals were generated, sequenced and reads were aligned to the standard reference. For the MHC region, reads were mapped to available MHC reference haplotypes and AltHapAlignR was used to estimate gene expression. Using this method, HLA-DRB and HLA-DQ were found to be differentially expressed in different immune cells of healthy individuals as well as in whole blood samples of RA patients carrying HLA-DRB1 SE-positive versus SE-negative alleles. In contrast, no genes outside the MHC region were differentially expressed between individuals carrying HLA-DRB1 SE-positive and SE-negative alleles. Existing methods for HLA-DR allele-specific protein expression were evaluated but were not mature enough to provide appropriate complementary information at the protein level. Altogether, our findings suggest that immune effects associated with different allelic forms of HLA-DR and HLA-DQ may be associated not only with differences in the structure of these proteins, but also with differences in their expression levels.

Gene expression analysis of testicular DLBCL: ABC or GCB subtype?

Project description:Diffuse large B cell lymphomas (DLBCL) constitute a heterogeneous group of lymphomas in which germinal center B cell-like and activated B cell-like subtypes can be discerned based on pathology, clinical presentation and gene expression patterns. Testicular DLBCL form an immune-privileged site-related subgroup of DLBCL with an unfavorable prognosis. We used cDNA microarray analysis, immunohistochemistry for CD10, Bcl6 and MUM1, and somatic hypermutation analysis of the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangements to determine the subtype of primary testicular DLBCL. Immunohistochemistry revealed 14/22 testicular DLBCL with an activated B cell-like immunophenotype and 8/22 with an ambiguous immunophenotype co-expressing CD10 and high levels of MUM1. cDNA microarray analysis of these 22 and 4 additional cases showed a uniform activated B cell-like gene expression pattern in both immunophenotypes. Somatic hypermutation analysis showed a very high mutation load in 7 cases tested, but intraclonal heterogeneity was found at low level in only one of these cases. We conclude that primary testicular DLBCL have uniform activated B cell-like subtype characteristics despite a number of cases showing an ambiguous immunophenotype. Keywords: Gene expression

Genetic analysis of HLA and immune escape genes in Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma

Project description:Fifty percent of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cases lack cell-surface expression of the class-I major histocompatibility complex (MHC-I), thereby escaping immune recognition by cytotoxic T cells. In order to comprehensively identify the mechanisms involved in MHC-I loss, we first performed immunophenotypic analysis of both MHC class-I and -II in 657 cases across the spectrum of B-NHL, revealing that loss of MHC-I, but not MHC-II, is preferentially restricted to DLBCL. We then used whole exome and targeted deep-sequencing to examine genes involved in MHC-I expression in 74 DLBCL samples representative of MHC-I positive and negative cases. We show here that somatic biallelic or monoallelic inactivation of B2M and/or HLA-I is present in 80.9% (34/42) of MHC-I negative tumors. Furthermore, 68.8% (22/32) of MHC-I positive DLBCLs also harbored monoallelic HLA-I genetic alterations (MHC-I positivemono) that lead to allelic imbalance, suggesting allele-specific inactivation. Both MHC-I negative and MHC-I positivemono cases showed a significantly higher mutational burden as well as a higher number of inferred neo-antigens, suggesting co-selection of HLA-I loss and sustained neo-antigen production. Interestingly, the analysis of > 500.000 individuals in two databases revealed homozygosity of germline HLA-I genes in 26-38% of DLBCL patients, a frequency significantly higher than that observed in any other cancer type. In mice, germinal-center B cells lacking HLA-I expression did not progress to lymphoma and were counterselected in the context of oncogene-driven lymphomagenesis, suggesting that additional events are needed to license immune evasion. These results suggest a multi-step process of HLA-I loss including both germ-line and somatic events in DLBCL development, and have direct implications for the pathogenesis and immunotherapeutic targeting of this disease.

MHC class II proteins mediate cross-species entry of bat influenza viruses

Project description:Zoonotic influenza A viruses of avian origin can cause severe disease in individuals, or even global pandemics, and thus pose a threat to human populations. Waterfowl and shorebirds are believed to be the reservoir for all influenza A viruses, but this has recently been challenged by the identification of novel influenza A viruses in bats. The major bat influenza A virus envelope glycoprotein, haemagglutinin, does not bind the canonical influenza A virus receptor, sialic acid or any other glycan, despite its high sequence and structural homology with conventional haemagglutinins. This functionally uncharacterized plasticity of the bat influenza A virus haemagglutinin means the tropism and zoonotic potential of these viruses has not been fully determined. Here we show, using transcriptomic profiling of susceptible versus non-susceptible cells in combination with genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screening, that the major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II) human leukocyte antigen DR isotype (HLA-DR) is an essential entry determinant for bat influenza A viruses. Genetic ablation of the HLA-DR α-chain rendered cells resistant to infection by bat influenza A virus, whereas ectopic expression of the HLA-DR complex in non-susceptible cells conferred susceptibility. Expression of MHC-II from different bat species, pigs, mice or chickens also conferred susceptibility to infection. Notably, the infection of mice with bat influenza A virus resulted in robust virus replication in the upper respiratory tract, whereas mice deficient for MHC-II were resistant. Collectively, our data identify MHC-II as a crucial entry mediator for bat influenza A viruses in multiple species, which permits a broad vertebrate tropism.

Transcriptome analysis of HLA-DR(+) HSPCs and HLA-DR(-) HSPCs in aplastic anemia patients

Project description:HLA-DR-lacking HSPCs [HLA-DR(-) HSPCs] were detected in aplastic anemia (AA) patients with HLA-DR15. HLA-DR(-) HSPCs may evade the attack by CD4+ T-cells recognizing the autoantigen presented by HLA-DR15. The goal of this study is to clarify the immune escape mechanisms from antigen-specific T-cells by comparing the trranscriptome profile of HLA-DR(+) HSPCs and HLA-DR(-) HSPCs.

Genome-wide Screens Identify Lineage- and Tumor-Specific Genes Modulating MHC-I- and MHC-II-Restricted Immunosurveillance of Human Lymphomas [DLBCL_RNAseq]

Project description:Tumors frequently subvert MHC class I (MHC-I) peptide presentation to evade CD8+ T cell immunosurveillance, though how this is accomplished is not always well-defined. To identify the global regulatory networks controlling antigen presentation, we employed genome-wide screening in human diffuse large B cell lymphomas (DLBCLs). This approach revealed dozens of genes that positively and negatively modulate MHC-I cell surface expression. Validated genes clustered in multiple pathways including cytokine signaling, mRNA processing, endosomal trafficking, and protein metabolism. Genes can exhibit lymphoma subtype- or tumor-specific MHC-I regulation, and a majority of primary DLBCL tumors displayed genetic alterations in multiple regulators. We established SUGT1 as a major positive regulator of both MHC-I and MHC-II cell surface expression. Further, pharmacological inhibition of two negative regulators of antigen presentation, EZH2 and thymidylate synthase, enhanced DLBCL MHC-I presentation. These and other genes represent potential targets for manipulating MHC-I immunosurveillance in cancers, infectious diseases, and autoimmunity.
