Project description:Epigenetic modifying enzymes are commonly mutated in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Importantly, genetics abnormalities lead to inactivation of HAT, which tilt the balance in favor of decreased protein acetylation in DLBCL cells. This suggests that protein acetylation regulation is an important factor in DLBCL pathogenesis and a potential target for therapy. We developed resistant cell lines to the histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) vorinostat, in order to better define molecular mechanisms of action of HDACi in lymphoma cells. We found that cells resistant to HDACi have increased protein synthesis and proteasomal degradation. Additionally, cells resistant to HDACi have acquired increased susceptibility to proteasome inhibitors and this correlates with activation of the unfolded protein response. Importantly, using transcriptional signatures found in our resistant lymphoma cell line model, we show that tumors from DLBCL patients treated but unresponsive to HDACi therapy undergo similar changes. Together, these data show, for the first time, that HDACi may be used to prime DLBCL for targeted therapy including proteasome inhibitors.

Project description:Epigenetic modifying enzymes are commonly mutated in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), suggesting that epigenetic regulation is an important factor in DLBCL pathogenesis and a potential target for therapy. We developed resistant cell lines to histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi), one such epigenetic therapy, in order to define mechanisms of response and resistance. Strikingly, using gene expression and metabolic profiling, we found that development of HDACi resistance was associated with differentiation toward a plasmablast-like phenotype. Differentiation correlated with decreased B cell receptor signaling, increased ER stress and activation of the unfolded protein response, and increased sensitivity to proteasome inhibitors. Importantly, we found evidence of differentiation in lymphoma biopsies from patients treated with HDACi. Together, these data show, for the first time, that HDACi are differentiating agents in lymphoma and may be used to prime DLBCL for targeted therapy including proteasome inhibitors.

Project description:Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of lymphoid neoplasm in the world representing 30-40% of all lymphomas. Standard immunochemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone and rituximab) ensures cure in 60 to 65% of patients, while the rest progress or relapse. While advances have been made in the treatment of DLBCL, especially with the addition of rituximab, it is now apparent that there may be significant differences in prognosis that are related to the cell of origin, and that this disease is heterogeneous and novel treatment options are needed. It has been hypothesized that the combination of HDACI and hypomethylating agents might be a new approach to the treatment of relapsed or refractory DLBCL. This combination is thought to disrupt the transcription repressor complex consisting of methyl binding domain proteins (MBDP) and histone deacetylases (HDACs). We have explored the effect of different HDACI and decitabine combinations in in vitro and in vivo models of DLBCL. These data suggest a class effect, with all four HDACI (panobinostat, belinostat, vorinostat, depsipeptide) synergizing with decitabine in cytotoxicity assay across the spectrum of DLBCL cells. Synergy was validated in a number of other assays including a caspase 3 activation and apoptosis. Furthermore, the combination of panobinostat and decitabine induced markedly increased histone acetylation. The in vitro observations were confirmed in an in vivo murine xenograft experiment with the Ly1 DLBCL line. Genome wide methylation analysis and gene expression profiling demonstrated that the combination of these two epigenetic therapies produced a unique gene expression profile compared to the samples treated with single drugs. These data strongly support the potential therapeutic role of a combinatorial epigenetic platform for the treatment of B-cell lymphomas, in particular in patients with DLBCL. Clearly, future studies will need to focus on integrating the appropriate correlative studies, with an effort to identify and or validate biomarkers of activity with these combinations. The likelihood moving forward is that the mechanism of action of these combinations may vary from disease context to disease context. Genome-wide array findings from these kinds of studies could be expanded to samples from patients on clinical trials to identify novel biomarkers of response, leading to the rational treatment of individual diseases based upon the underlying pathogenesis. We have used single samples from three DLBCL cell lines (biological replicates) which were treated with DMSO, decitabine alone, panobinostat alone and their combination for 48h - total of 12 samples

Project description:Epigenetic changes deregulate gene expression to drive oncogenesis. The reversible nature of these changes enables therapeutic targeting, as in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (MF/SS), Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi), which alter epigenetic modifications, are effective in ~30% of MF/SS patients. However, there are no markers that predict MF/SS progression or therapy resistance. We hypothesized that epigenetic alterations drive MF/SS progression and promote HDACi drug resistance. Therefore, we profiled the epigenomes and transcriptomes of malignant T cell purified from skin biopsies and peripheral blood from MF/SS patients (N=21) before and after treatment with HDACi, as well as in vitro HDACi-treated CD4+ T cells from healthy donors. Here we report for the first time the epigenome-wide map of acetylation changes in MF/SS patients treated with HDACi, and define the significant differences in regulatory element activity and corresponding transcriptional changes in HDACi-sensitive versus resistant tumors. Our studies identified genes not previously associated with MF/SS, nor with disease progression or HDACi resistance, and were enriched in pathways that regulate apoptosis (BIRC5), cell cycle (RRM2), and chromosome cohesion (CENPH). We also identified a striking number of genes whose products are involved in cell adhesion and migration, including CCR6, LAIR2, VCAM1, and EPCAM. The mRNA of LAIR2, which encodes a receptor protein secreted by activated T cells that binds collagen and prevents binding of the inhibitory receptor LAIR1, was significantly upregulated in MF/SS tumors that were resistant to HDACi therapy and manifested in both skin and peripheral blood. We also detected elevated levels of LAIR2 protein in the plasma of MF/SS patients with progressive disease. Taken together, these studies defined the first epigenome-wide acetylation landscape of HDACi responsive and resistant MF/SS tumors, identified significantly altered patterns of epigenetic regulation and corresponding gene expression in HDACi resistant MF/SS tumors, and connected them to novel pathways of disease progression, particularly in cell adhesion and migration. These findings may represent novel predictive markers for MF/SS progression that are also targets for future therapeutic development.

Project description:Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL) are the most prevalent B-lymphocyte neoplasms in which abnormal activation of the Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK)–mediated B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling pathway contributes to pathogenesis. Ibrutinib is an oral covalent BTK inhibitor that has shown some efficacy in both indications. To improve ibrutinib efficacy through combination therapy, we first investigated differential gene expression in parental and ibrutinib-resistant cell lines to better understand the mechanisms of resistance. Ibrutinib-resistant TMD8 cells had higher BCL2 gene expression and increased sensitivity to ABT-199, a BCL-2 inhibitor. Consistently, clinical samples from ABC-DLBCL patients who experienced poorer response to ibrutinib had higher BCL2 gene expression. We further demonstrated synergistic growth suppression by ibrutinib and ABT-199 in multiple ABC-DLBCL, GCB-DLBCL, and FL lymphoma cell lines. The combination of both drugs also reduced colony formation, increased apoptosis, and inhibited tumor growth in a TMD8 xenograft model. A synergistic combination effect was also found in ibrutinib-resistant cells generated by either genetic mutation or drug treatment. Together, these findings suggest a potential clinical benefit from ibrutinib and ABT-199 combination therapy.

Project description:RichterTransformation (RT) develops in CLL as an aggressive, therapy resistant diffuse large B cell lymphoma (RT-DLBCL), commonly clonally related (CLR) to the antecedent CLL. Lack of available pre-clinical models has hampered development of novel therapies for RT-DLBCL. Here,we report the profiles of genetic alterations, active enhancers, gene-expressions and anti-lymphoma drug-sensitivity patterns of first-ever established, patient-derived xenograft models of RT-DLBCLs, including CLR and clonally unrelated (CLUR) to antecedent CLL. The CLR and CLUR RT-DLBCL cells display active enhancers, higher single-cell RNA-Seq-determined mRNA, and protein-expressions of IRF4, TCF4 and BCL2. This correlated with higher sensitivity to BET inhibitor and BET-PROTAC-based combinations with ibrutinib or venetoclax, including improved in vivo tumor burden and survival in the PDX model of CLR-RT-DLBCL.
