Project description:JAK kinases classically signal by activating STAT transcription factors, but can also regulate gene expression by epigenetically phosphorylating histone H3 on tyrosine 41 (H3Y41-P). In diffuse large B cell lymphomas (DLBCL), JAK signaling is a feature of the ABC subtype and is triggered by autocrine production of IL-6 and IL-10. Whether this signaling involves STAT activation, epigenetic modification of chromatin or both mechanisms is unknown. Here we use genetic and pharmacological inhibition to show that JAK1 signaling sustains the survival of ABC DLBCL cells. While STAT3 contributed to the survival of ABC DLBCL cell lines, forced STAT3 activity could not protect these cells from death following JAK1 inhibition, suggesting epigenetic JAK1 action. JAK1 regulated the expression of nearly 3,000 genes in ABC DLBCL cells, and the chromatin surrounding many of these genes was modified by H3Y41-P marks that were diminished by JAK1 inhibition. These JAK1 epigenetic target genes encode important regulators of ABC DLBCL proliferation and survival, including IRF4, MYD88 and MYC. A small molecule JAK1 inhibitor cooperated with the BTK inhibitor ibrutinib in reducing IRF4 levels and acted synergistically to kill ABC DLBCL cells, suggesting that this combination should be evaluated in clinical trials.

Project description:Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma, includes two main molecular subtypes: activated B cell-like (ABC) DLBCL and germinal center B cell-like (GCB) DLBCL. ABC DLBCL is more aggressive, with the activated JAK1-STAT3 pathway that promotes cell survival. In order to study the underlying pathogenic mechanism, we performed a ChIP-seq experiment by phospho-STAT3(Tyr705) antibody in ABC DLBCL cell lines, and identified 3,456 STAT3 target genes genome-wide. In parallel, ChIP-seq experiment was performed with STAT3 antibody in α-IgM stimulated naïve B cells for verification of these targets of STAT3 protein. TMD8 was treated by eithor DMSO or AZD1480 (JAK inhibitor) for 4hrs, ChIP-seq experiments were performed by pSTAT3(Tyr705) antibody (#9145S, Cell signaling). Naïve B cells were collected from peripheral blood mononuclear cells by Naive B Cell Isolation kit (miltenyi biotec; 130-091-150), and treated by 10ug/ml α-IgM (southernbiotech; #2020-01) for 24hrs. ChIP-seq experiments were performed by STAT3 antibody (SC-482X, Santa Cruz).

Project description:Activating JAK and STAT mutations were discovered in many T-cell malignancies including ALK- anaplastic large cell lymphomas (ALCL). However, such mutations often occur in a minority of patients. To investigate the clinical application of targeting Janus Kinase (JAK) for ALK- ALCL, we treated ALK- cell lines of different histologic origins with JAK inhibitors. Interestingly, most exogenous cytokine independent cell lines responded to JAK inhibition regardless of JAK mutation status. JAK inhibitor sensitivity correlated with STAT3 phosphorylation status of tumor cells. Employing retroviral shRNA knockdown, we demonstrated that these JAK inhibitor sensitive cells were dependent on both JAK1 and STAT3 for survival. JAK1 and STAT3 gain-of-function mutations were found in some but not all JAK inhibitor sensitive cells. Moreover, the mutations alone could not explain the JAK1/STAT3 dependency as wild-type JAK1 or STAT3 was sufficient to promote cell survival in the cells that had either JAK1or STAT3 mutations. To investigate whether other mechanisms were involved, we knocked down upstream receptors GP130 or IL-2Rγ. Knockdown of GP130 or IL-2Rγ induced cell death in select JAK inhibitor sensitive cells. High levels of cytokine expression including IL-6 were demonstrated in cell lines as well as in primary ALK- ALCL tumors. Finally, ruxolitinib, a JAK1/2 inhibitor, was effective in vivo in a xenograft ALK- ALCL model. Our data suggest cytokine receptor signaling was required for tumor cell survival in diverse forms of ALK- ALCL even in the presence of JAK1/STAT3 mutations. Therefore, JAK-inhibitor therapy might benefit patients with ALK- ALCL that are pSTAT3+.

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:Interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) is a transcriptional regulator with critical roles in the normal development and malignant transformation of lymphocytes. Recently we have shown that plasma cell cancers (multiple myeloma, MM) are addicted to an aberrant gene expression program ochestrated by wild-type IRF4 for their survival. Here we show that an aggressive malignancy of mature B cells, the activated B cell for of Diffuse Large B Cell lymphoma (ABC-DLBC), also depends on IRF4 for survival. With genome-wide expression profiling and localization (ChIP-Seq) assays, we identified IRF4 target genes in ABC-DLBCL as members of diverse pathways related to B cell biology and malignant behavior, distinct from IRF4 targets in MM. For example, we find the gene encoding the NFkB signal transduction adapter protein CARD11 is a target of IRF4 activation, driving the critical NFkB pathway in ABC-DLBCL. Further, we find enrichment of DNA binding motifs for ETS-IRF factors in regions of IRF4 binding in ABC-DLBCL suggesting cooperative activity between IRF4 and an ETS family transcription factor. Through complementation assays we show that IRF4 and the critical ABC-DLBCL ETS factor SPIB interact with one another and are key to ABC-DLBCL survival. Together our data show that ABC-DLBCL is addicted to the interaction between IRF4 and SPIB, in part through a positive feedback loop invovling CARD11 and the activation of the NFkB pathway. These data suggest theraepeutic potential in targeting the IRF4:SPIB interface in ABC-DLBCL.

These data suggest theraepeutic potential in targeting the IRF4:SPIB interface in ABC-DLBCL. Gene expression was analyzed using Agilent human 4X44K oligo gene expression arrays. Cell lines (HBL1, OCILY3, TMD8-ABC-DLBCL; KMS12-MM) were infected with control (shControl, Cy3) or shIRF4_3'UTR (Cy5) constructs, and changes in gene expression were monitored over time after induction of the shRNA with doxycyclin. For each of the three ABC-DLBCL cell line a four timepoint series (24, 48, 72, 96 hrs) of shRNA induction was analyzed, for a total of 12 arrays. In HBL-1 a second shRNA targeting the IRF4 cds (shIRF4_cds) was used in a similar time course of shRNA induction (4 arrays). For the KMS12 MM cell line a three point time course was analyzed using the shIRF4_3'UTR with one technical (using the same RNA sample) duplicate time point measurement (4 arrays). ChIP-Seq data not provided.

Project description:The activated B cell-like (ABC) subgroup of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is characterized by constitutive activation of the NF-êB pathway. Here we show that the NF- êB pathway induces the expression of the cytokines IL-6 and IL-10 in ABC DLBCL cell lines, which also have high levels of total and phosphorylated STAT3 protein, suggesting autocrine signaling. Using RNA interference for STAT3, we defined a gene expression signature of IL-6 and IL-10 signaling through STAT3. Based on this signature, we constructed a molecular predictor of STAT3 signaling that defined a subset of ABC DLBCL tumors with high expression of STAT3, IL-6 and/or IL-10, and their downstream targets. Although the STAT3-high and STAT3-low subsets had equivalent expression of genes that distinguish ABC DLBCL from GCB DLBCL, STAT3-high ABC DLBCLs had higher expression of signatures that reflected NF-kB activity, proliferation, and glycolysis. A smallmolecule inhibitor of JAK signaling, which blocked STAT3 signature expression, was toxic only for ABC DLBCL lines, and synergized with an inhibitor of NF-kB signaling. These findings suggest that the biological interplay between the STAT3 and NF-kB pathways may be exploited for the treatments of a subset of ABC DLBCLs. Activated B cell-like (ABC) subgroup of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cell lines were used as model systems to study the cytokine pathways in these cells. We expressed inducible IkB super-repressor for 1 to 24 hours to identify NF-kB target genes in OCI-Ly3 and OCI-Ly10 cells for a total of 13 arrays with replicates of each time point. We treated OCI-Ly3 cells with IL-10 for 1 to 96 hours for a total of 10 arrays with replicates of each time point. We treated OCI-Ly10 cells with IL-6 for 30 minutes to 24 hours for a total of 8 arrays with replicates of each time point. OCI-Ly10 cells transfected with no siRNA versus STAT3-siRNA for 8, 24, or 48 hours for a total of 5 arrays with replicates for 24 and 48 hours. We treated OCI-Ly10 cells with JAK inhibitor I for 3 and 6 hours for a total of 4 arrays with replicates of each time point.

Project description:Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma, including two main molecular subtypes termed activated B cell-like (ABC) and germinal center B cell-like (GCB). ABC DLBCL is less curable and identification of new molecular targets is needed for the development of effective therapeutic agents. Here, we focused on EGR1, a transcription factor that is regulated by the B cell receptor and JAK1/STAT3 signaling pathway in ABC DLBCL. ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq analyses revealed that gene regulation by EGR1 in ABC DLBCL accentuates multiple oncogenic pathways, including MYC and E2F, while dampening the lethal type I IFN pathway.

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-B 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-B 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-B 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-B 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-B 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.
