Project description:Recently, a subset of MYC-translocation negative aggressive B-cell lymphomas resembling Burkitt lymphoma (BL) characterized by proximal gains and distal losses in the long arm of chromosome 11 has been described. In the 2016 revision of the WHO classification these MYC-translocation negative lymphomas have been introduced as new provisional entity designated “Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration” (MNBLL 11q). Here, we show a comprehensive flow-cytometry analysis of 10 MNBLL 11q cases, well characterized genetically and pathologically. Twenty-three cases of MYC-positive BL, including three cases carrying both MYC rearrangements and 11q aberration, served as controls. All MNBLL 11q were CD20+/CD10+/BCL6+/BCL2- /MUM1- /MYC+/EBV negative , presented a high proliferation rate and showed a three-year overall survival (80%) similar to BL patients, with no recurrence after the end of treatment. MNBLL 11q immunophenotype was similar to that of MYC-positive BL without and with 11q, except for less frequent CD38higher expression (10% MNBLL 11q vs 91% MYC-positive BL, p<0.001), less frequent diminished CD45 expression (90% vs 23%, p=0.001), and CD16/CD56 co-expression (60% vs 0%, p<0.001). Our findings suggest subtle but important differences in MNBLL 11q immunophenotypes and MYC-positive BLs, which could not only aid in the differential diagnosis but also in the understanding of the pathogenesis of MNBLL 11q.

Project description:We performed genomic and transcriptomic analysis of seven cases of molecular Burkitt lymphoma (mBL) developed in immunosuppressed patients who underwent solid organ transplantation. Interestingly, three cases (43%) were MYC-translocation-negative and revealed the 11q-gain/loss aberration recently identified in 3% of mBL developed in immunocompetent hosts.1 Based on array CGH data, minimal gain and loss regions of 11q (MGR/~4Mb and MLR/~13.5Mb, respectively) were defined and integrative genomic and transcriptomic analysis identified 35 differentially expressed genes, when compared with classic BL. All 16 MGR-dysregulated genes were upregulated, including cancer related USP2, CBL and PAFAH1B2. As expected, all 19 MGL-dysregulated genes were downregulated and two of them, TBRG1 and EI24, are potential tumor suppressor genes. Interestingly, the vast majority of dysregulated 11q23-q25 genes are involved in the MYC and TP53 networks. We hypothesize that the 11q-gain/loss aberration represents a “molecular variant” of t(8q24/MYC) and affects the same pathological pathways as the MYC oncogene. Seven cases of PTLD with BL features were selected from a cohort of 174 posttransplant patients diagnosed with PTLD between 1989 and 2012 at the University Hospitals of KU Leuven (Leuven, Belgium). In addition, five classic BL cases were selected as immunocompetent controls (IC-BL). Morphologic, immunophenotypic, clinical and cytogenetic characteristics of the selected cases were reviewed.

Project description:Kynureninase is a member of a large family of catalytically diverse but structurally homologous pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) dependent enzymes known as the aspartate aminotransferase superfamily or alpha-family. The Homo sapiens and other eukaryotic constitutive kynureninases preferentially catalyze the hydrolytic cleavage of 3-hydroxy-l-kynurenine to produce 3-hydroxyanthranilate and l-alanine, while l-kynurenine is the substrate of many prokaryotic inducible kynureninases. The human enzyme was cloned with an N-terminal hexahistidine tag, expressed, and purified from a bacterial expression system using Ni metal ion affinity chromatography. Kinetic characterization of the recombinant enzyme reveals classic Michaelis-Menten behavior, with a Km of 28.3 +/- 1.9 microM and a specific activity of 1.75 micromol min-1 mg-1 for 3-hydroxy-dl-kynurenine. Crystals of recombinant kynureninase that diffracted to 2.0 A were obtained, and the atomic structure of the PLP-bound holoenzyme was determined by molecular replacement using the Pseudomonas fluorescens kynureninase structure (PDB entry 1qz9) as the phasing model. A structural superposition with the P. fluorescens kynureninase revealed that these two structures resemble the "open" and "closed" conformations of aspartate aminotransferase. The comparison illustrates the dynamic nature of these proteins' small domains and reveals a role for Arg-434 similar to its role in other AAT alpha-family members. Docking of 3-hydroxy-l-kynurenine into the human kynureninase active site suggests that Asn-333 and His-102 are involved in substrate binding and molecular discrimination between inducible and constitutive kynureninase substrates.

Project description:Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is the most frequent B-cell lymphoma in pediatric patients. While most patients are currently cured, a fraction of them are resistant to therapy. In order to investigate BL heterogeneity and the features distinguishing the non-responders (NR) to therapy, we analyzed pediatric EBV-negative BL specimens collected at diagnosis by single-cell (sc)-transcriptomics. Analysis of the non-tumor component revealed a predominance of immune cell infiltrates and a small representation of fibroblasts that was enriched in NR. Tumor cells displayed patient-specific features, as well as subpopulations that were common to most patients and expressed transcripts related to cell cycle, signaling pathways and cell-of-origin signatures.

Project description:As the evolution of miRNA genes has been found to be one of the important factors in formation of the modern type of man, we performed a comparative analysis of the evolution of miRNA genes in two archaic hominines, Homo sapiens neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens denisova, and elucidated the expression of their target mRNAs in bain.A comparative analysis of the genomes of primates, including species in the genus Homo, identified a group of miRNA genes having fixed substitutions with important implications for the evolution of Homo sapiens neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens denisova. The mRNAs targeted by miRNAs with mutations specific for Homo sapiens denisova exhibited enhanced expression during postnatal brain development in modern humans. By contrast, the expression of mRNAs targeted by miRNAs bearing variations specific for Homo sapiens neanderthalensis was shown to be enhanced in prenatal brain development.Our results highlight the importance of changes in miRNA gene sequences in the course of Homo sapiens denisova and Homo sapiens neanderthalensis evolution. The genetic alterations of miRNAs regulating the spatiotemporal expression of multiple genes in the prenatal and postnatal brain may contribute to the progressive evolution of brain function, which is consistent with the observations of fine technical and typological properties of tools and decorative items reported from archaeological Denisovan sites. The data also suggest that differential spatial-temporal regulation of gene products promoted by the subspecies-specific mutations in the miRNA genes might have occurred in the brains of Homo sapiens denisova and Homo sapiens neanderthalensis, potentially contributing to the cultural differences between these two archaic hominines.
