Project description:Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a B cell malignancy characterized by a monoclonal proliferation of lymphocytes with co-expression of CD5, CD43 but not CD23. Typical MCL are associated with cyclin D1 overexpression, and blastoid MCL variants are associated with c-myc translocations. We have developed a murine model of MCL-like lymphoma by crossing Cdk4R24C mice with c-myc-3’RR transgenic mice. Cdk4R24C mice is a knock-in strain that express a Cdk4 protein resistant to inhibition by p16INK4a and other INK4 family members. Breeding Cdk4R24C mice with c-myc-3’RR transgenic mice prone to develop aggressive Burkitt lymphoma-like lymphoma leads in c-myc/Cdk4R24C mice to development of clonal blastoid MCL-like lymphoma. A defect of the INK4-Cdk4 checkpoint can participate to lymphomagenesis in conjunction with additional alterations of cell cycle control, a situation which might be reminiscent of the development of human blastoid MCL. B splenocytes from 4 c-myc/Cdk4(R24C) lymphoma mice and 4 wt mice were investigated.

Project description:Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a B cell malignancy characterized by a monoclonal proliferation of lymphocytes with co-expression of CD5, CD43 but not CD23. We have developed two murine models of MCL-like lymphoma. Breeding Cdk4R24C mice (a knock-in strain that express a Cdk4 protein resistant to inhibition by p16INK4a and other INK4 family members) with c-myc-3’RR transgenic mice (prone to develop aggressive Burkitt lymphoma-like lymphoma) leads in c-myc/Cdk4R24C mice to development of clonal blastoid MCL-like lymphoma. Breeding p53+/- mice with c-myc-3’RR transgenic mice lead to the development of several mature B cell lymphomas including MCL. In this study we compare MCL transcriptomas of c-myc-3'RR/Cdk4R24C mice and c-myc-3'RR/p53+/- mice. B splenocytes from 2 c-myc/Cdk4R24C lymphoma mice and 2 c-myc-3'RR/p53+/- mice were investigated

Project description:To determine the global transcriptome changes in mantle cell lymphoma cells following treatment with the BET bromodomain antagonist, JQ1 Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) cells exhibit increased B cell receptor and NFkB activities. The BET protein BRD4 is essential for the transcriptional activity of NFkB. Here, we demonstrate that treatment with the BET protein bromodomain antagonist (BA) JQ1 attenuates MYC and CDK4/6, inhibits the nuclear RelA levels and the expression of NFκB target genes including Brutonâs Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) in MCL cells. While lowering the levels of the anti-apoptotic BCL2 family proteins, BA treatment induces the pro-apoptotic protein BIM and exerts dose-dependent lethality against cultured and primary MCL cells. Co-treatment with BA and the BTK inhibitor ibrutinib synergistically induces apoptosis of MCL cells. Compared to each agent alone, co-treatment with BA and ibrutinib markedly improved the median survival of mice engrafted with the MCL cells. BA treatment also induced apoptosis of the in vitro isolated, ibrutinib-resistant MCL cells which overexpress CDK6, BCL2, Bcl-xL, XIAP and AKT, but lack ibrutinib resistance-conferring BTK mutation. Co-treatment with BA and panobinostat (pan-histone deacetylase inhibitor) or palbociclib (CDK4/6 inhibitor) or ABT-199 (BCL2 antagonist) synergistically induced apoptosis of the ibrutinib-resistant MCL cells. These findings highlight and support further in vivo evaluation of the efficacy of the BA-based combinations with these agents against MCL, including ibrutinib-resistant MCL. MO2058 cells treated with vehicle, 250 nM or 1000 nM JQ1 for 8 hours. Samples were acquired and analyzed in duplicate.
Project description:c-myc-3'RR mice prone to develop Burkitt lymphoma (BL) were crossed with p53+/- mice in order to obtain c-myc-3'RR/p53+/- mice. These mice develop a wider spectrum of lymphoma including BL, mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and plasma cell lymphoma (PCL). Transcriptoma analysis of these lymphomas is investigated in these arrays. Four different plasma cell lymphoma (PCL1-4), three different mantle cell lymphoma (MCL1-4) and four different Burkitt lymphoma (BL1-4) were compared.
