The proto-oncogene TCL1A deregulates mitotic checkpoint transition and genomic stability in CLL

ABSTRACT: Upregulation of the proto-oncogene TCL1A is causally implicated in various B- and T-cell malignancies. High-level TCL1A correlates with aggressive disease features and inferior clinical outcomes. However, molecular and cell-biological consequences of TCL1A dysregulation are not fully elucidated. Here, we identify CDC20 and other molecules of the safeguarding cell cycle checkpoints as novel TCL1A-interactors. In different model systems of B-cell leukemia/lymphoma, TCL1A overexpression accelerated cell cycle transition, impaired apoptotic damage responses in association with pronounced chromosome mis-segregation and caused cellular aneuploidy. In primary CLL samples, low CDC20 expression correlated with high expression of TCL1A and more aggressive disease characteristics. In line, a low CDC20 expression was a marker for reduced progression-free survival in CLL patients. Finally, knockdown of CDC20 in TCL1A-initiated murine lymphomas promoted chromosome disbalances and leukemia outgrowth. Overall, we discovered a cell-cycle associated effect of TCL1A by interfering with a proficient cell cycle transition. This adds to our concept of TCL1A’s transforming impact by targeting genome stability.

Project description:Analysis of the chronic lymphocytic leukemia coding genome: role of NOTCH1 mutational activation The pathogenesis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), the most common leukemia in adults, is still largely unknown since the full spectrum of genetic lesions that are present in the CLL genome, and therefore the number and identity of dysregulated cellular pathways, have not been identified. By combining next-generation sequencing and copy number analysis, we show here that the typical CLL coding genome contains less than 20 clonally represented gene alterations/case, including predominantly non-silent mutations and fewer copy number aberrations. These analyses led to the discovery of several genes not previously known to be altered in CLL. While most of these genes were affected at low frequency in an expanded CLL screening cohort, mutational activation of NOTCH1, observed in 8.3% of CLL at diagnosis, was detected at significantly higher frequency during disease progression toward Richter transformation (31.0%) as well as in chemorefractory CLL (20.8%). Consistent with the association of NOTCH1 mutations with clinically aggressive forms of the disease, NOTCH1 activation at CLL diagnosis emerged as an independent predictor of poor survival. These results provide initial data on the complexity of the CLL coding genome and identify a dysregulated pathway of diagnostic and therapeutic relevance. Genetic Lesions associated with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia transformation to Richter Syndrome Richter syndrome (RS) derives from the rare transformation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) into an aggressive lymphoma, most commonly of the diffuse large B cell type (DLBCL). The molecular pathogenesis of RS is only partially understood. By combining whole-exome sequencing and copy-number analysis of 9 CLL-RS pairs and of an extended panel of 43 RS cases, we show that this aggressive disease typically arises from the predominant CLL clone by acquiring an average of ~20 genetic lesions/case. RS lesions are heterogeneous in terms of load and spectrum among patients, and include those involved in CLL progression and chemorefractoriness (TP53 disruption and NOTCH1 activation) as well as some not previously implicated in CLL or RS pathogenesis. In particular, disruption of the CDKN2A/B cell cycle regulator locus is associated with ~30% of RS cases. Finally, we report that the genomic landscape of RS is significantly different from that of de novo DLBCL, suggesting that they represent distinct disease entities. These results provide insights into RS pathogenesis, and identify dysregulated pathways of potential diagnostic and therapeutic relevance.
