The clinical validation of the pharmacological inhibition of XPO1 was recently achieved with the development of the selective inhibitor of nuclear export compounds, displaying an interesting anti-tumor activity in patients with massive pre-treated hematological malignancies. Recent reports have shown molecular alterations in the gene encoding XPO1 and showed a mutation hotspot (E571K) in the following two hematological malignancies with similar phenotypes and natural histories: primary mediastinal diffuse large B cell lymphoma and classical Hodgkin's lymphoma. Emerging evidence suggests that the mutant XPO1 E571K plays a role in carcinogenesis, and this variant is quantifiable in tumor and plasma cell-free DNA of patients using highly sensitive molecular biology techniques, such as digital PCR and next-generation sequencing. Therefore, it was proposed that the XPO1 E571K variant may serve as a minimal residual disease tool in this setting. To clarify and summarize the recent findings on the role of XPO1 in B cell hematological malignancies, we conducted a literature search to present the major publications establishing the landscape of XPO1 molecular alterations, their impact on the XPO1 protein, their interest as biomarkers, and investigations into the development of new XPO1-targeted therapies in B cell hematological malignancies.}, langid = {english}, keywords = {Exportin,Lymphoma,Minimal residual disease,Targeted therapy,XPO1}, file = {/Users/rmorin/Zotero/storage/RM8HLVIZ/Camus et al. - 2017 - XPO1 in B cell hematological malignancies from recurrent somatic mutations to targeted therapy.pdf} } @article{balasubramanianSelectiveInhibitionNuclear2022, title = {Selective Inhibition of Nuclear Export: A Promising Approach in the Shifting Treatment Paradigms for Hematological Neoplasms}, shorttitle = {Selective Inhibition of Nuclear Export}, author = {Balasubramanian, Suresh Kumar and Azmi, Asfar S. and Maciejewski, Jaroslaw}, year = 2022, month = mar, journal = {Leukemia}, volume = {36}, number = {3}, pages = {601--612}, publisher = {Nature Publishing Group}, issn = {1476-5551}, doi = {10.1038/s41375-021-01483-z}, urldate = {2026-01-21}, abstract = {Novel targeted therapeutics alone or in rational combinations are likely to dominate the future management of various hematological neoplasms. However, the challenges currently faced are the molecular heterogeneity in driver lesions and genetic plasticity leading to multiple resistance pathways. Thus, progress has overall been gradual. For example, despite the advent of targeted agents against actionable drivers like FLT3 in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the prognosis remains suboptimal in newly diagnosed and dismal in the relapsed/refractory (R/R) setting, due to other molecular abnormalities contributing to inherent and acquired treatment resistance. Nuclear export inhibitors are of keen interest because they can inhibit several active tumorigenic processes simultaneously and also synergize with other targeted drugs and chemotherapy. XPO1 (or CRM1, chromosome maintenance region 1) is one of the most studied exportins involved in transporting critical cargoes, including tumor suppressor proteins like p27, p53, and RB1. Apart from the TSP cargo transport and its role in drug resistance, XPO1 inhibition results in retention of master transcription factors essential for cell differentiation, cell survival, and autophagy, rendering cells more susceptible to the effects of other antineoplastic agents, including targeted therapies. This review will dissect the role of XPO1 inhibition in hematological neoplasms, focusing on mechanistic insights gleaned mainly from work with SINE compounds.

Targeted sequencing was applied to an unselected population-based FL cohort (n~= 548) with full clinical follow-up (n~= 538), which included 96 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) transformations. We investigated whether molecular subclusters of FL can be identified and whether mutational data provide predictive information relating to transformation. DNA extracted from FL samples was sequenced with a 293-gene panel representing genes frequently mutated in DLBCL and FL. Three clusters were resolved using mutational data alone, independent of translocation status: FL\_aSHM, with high burden of aberrant somatic hypermutation (aSHM) targets; FL\_STAT6, with high STAT6 \& CREBBP mutation and low aSHM; and FL\_Com, with the absence of features of other subtypes and enriched KMT2D mutation. Analysis of mutation signatures demonstrated differential enrichment of predicted mutation signatures between subgroups and a dominant preference in the FL\_aSHM subgroup for G(C\>T)T and G(C\>T)C transitions consistent with previously defined aSHM-like patterns. Of transformed cases with paired samples, 17 of 26 had evidence of branching evolution.

Despite of the clinical relevance of this finding, the molecular mechanism driving resistance to R-CHOP therapy remains largely unknown. Herein, we investigated the potential role of FOXO1 in the therapeutic efficacy of rituximab, the only targeted therapy included in the R-CHOP regimen. We found CD20 transcription is negatively regulated by FOXO1 in NHL cell lines and in human lymphoma specimens carrying activating mutations of FOXO1. Furthermore, both the expression of exogenous mutants of FOXO1 and the inhibition of AKT led to FOXO1 activation in lymphoma cells, increased binding to MS4A1 promoter and diminished CD20 expression levels. In contrast, a disruption of FOXO1 with CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing (sgFOXO1) resulted in CD20 upregulation, improved the cytotoxicity induced by rituximab and the survival of mice with sgFOXO1 tumors. Accordingly, pharmacological inhibition of FOXO1 activity in primary samples upregulated surface CD20 levels. Importantly, FOXO1 was required for the downregulation of CD20 levels by the clinically tested inhibitors of BTK, SYK, PI3K and AKT. Taken together, these results indicate for the first time that the AKT-unresponsive mutants of FOXO1 are important determinant of cell response to rituximab-induced cytotoxicity, and suggest that the genetic status of FOXO1 together with its transcriptional activity need further attention while designing anti-CD20 antibodies based regimens for the therapy of pre-selected lymphomas.}, number = {5}, urldate = {2024-12-20}, journal = {Oncoimmunology}, author = {Pyrzynska, Beata and Dwojak, Michal and Zerrouqi, Abdessamad and Morlino, Giulia and Zapala, Piotr and Miazek, Nina and Zagozdzon, Agnieszka and Bojarczuk, Kamil and Bobrowicz, Malgorzata and Siernicka, Marta and Machnicki, Marcin M. and Gobessi, Stefania and Barankiewicz, Joanna and Lech-Maranda, Ewa and Efremov, Dimitar G. and Juszczynski, Przemyslaw and Calado, Dinis and Golab, Jakub and Winiarska, Magdalena}, month = jan, year = {2018}, pmid = {29721381}, pmcid = {PMC5927521}, pages = {e1423183}, file = {PubMed Central Full Text PDF:C\:\\Users\\gbanc\\Zotero\\storage\\2QQ2ZIN9\\Pyrzynska et al. - 2018 - FOXO1 promotes resistance of non-Hodgkin lymphomas to anti-CD20-based therapy.pdf:application/pdf}, } @article{kober-hasslacherUnsolvedPuzzleCRel2019, title = {The {Unsolved} {Puzzle} of c-{Rel} in {B} {Cell} {Lymphoma}}, volume = {11}, issn = {2072-6694}, url = {https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6678315/}, doi = {10.3390/cancers11070941}, abstract = {Aberrant constitutive activation of Rel/NF-κB transcription factors is a hallmark of numerous cancers.

However, DLBCL remains an extremely heterogenous disease and refractory/relapse events are common. Recent sequencing experiments have found 18\% of relapsed DLBCL contains Fas mutations, an increase from mutations seen at initial diagnosis. Fas receptor (FasR) is a transmembrane protein encoded by the Fas gene that is critical for the induction of extrinsic apoptosis. Once FasR is bound by Fas Ligand expressed on cytotoxic T cells, it initiates the formation of the death-inducing signaling complex and subsequent programmed cell death. Downregulation of FasR expression on B cells has also been a proposed method by which B cell lymphomas are able to evade immune surveillance. Therefore, we hypothesized that dysfunction in Fas signaling contributes to chemotherapy resistance and disease relapse in DLBCL. We used an immune-competent mouse model that can generate aggressive B cell lymphomas (Eμ-Myc) to investigate the role of Fas mutations in lymphomagenesis and response to chemotherapy. Methods: We designed a breeding program, in which we crossed heterozygous Lpr mice, which harbor a germline mutation in Fas, with Eμ-Myc mice. This led to the development of mice that grow spontaneous Eμ-Myc lymphomas with either FasWT or Fasmut gene alterations, hereafter designated WT and MUT. These mice were analyzed for disease progression and their lymphoma cells were intravenously injected into C57BL/6 mice to create 2nd generation lymphomas. A 3rd generation cohort was developed similarly from injecting 2nd generation lymphoma cells into another group of C57BL/6 mice. 3rd generation mice were treated with components of R-CHOP chemotherapy, namely doxorubicin, vincristine, and cyclophosphamide. Overall and disease-related survival were monitored for all cohorts, and lymph node and spleen tissues were preserved from all 3 generations as formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) blocks. A tissue microarray was created to analyze the tumor microenvironment and elements of extrinsic apoptosis/immune response. Immunohistochemistry staining of the microarray using T cell and lymphoma-related markers is currently ongoing (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD25, FoxP3, TP53, Nfkb, Bcl2). Results: In the 1st generation, 21/37 WT and 11/18 MUT mice developed lymphoma, with the time to lymphoma death being similar in both groups (170 days versus 140 days, respectively, p =0.32). Of the 32 primary NHLs generated, 3 didn't have sufficient viable cells to perform subsequent experiments. The remaining 29 NHLs were injected into at least two different C57BL/6 mice, with the exception of one who only had enough cells to inject into one mouse. Thus, the second generation included 57 mice transplanted with 29 primary NHLs. Lymphoma development was higher in the MUT cohort (12/37 WT and 14/20 MUT, p=0.011). The all-cause overall survival was not different between both genotypes (p=0.152), but lymphoma specific survival was significantly shorter in the MUT mice (67 days for MUT and 136 days for WT, p=0.026). In the 3rd generation, 93 mice developed lymphoma (54 WT and 39 MUT), of which 15 were used as untreated controls and 78 were treated with components of R-CHOP. Overall, WT mice appeared to have durable responses to therapy, as shown by increased survival when compared to controls across doxorubicin, vincristine, and cyclophosphamide groups (p=0.0147, 0.0406, 0.0321 respectively). However, no difference in survival was seen in the MUT cohort between treated and untreated controls. Conclusion: Fas mutations may provide survival advantages to lymphoma cells implanted into immune-competent mice. They may also promote resistance to R-CHOP, particularly vincristine, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide, but the exact mechanism by which this occurs is unclear. The immune-tumor cell interactions are being investigated by IHC and will be presented.

We detected seven mutations in five lymphomas, one MALT lymphoma and four DLBCL; two DLBCL had two mutations. The MALT lymphoma exhibited a point mutation in the splice donor region of intron 3. Three DLBCL had missense mutations in exon 2, which encodes a signal peptide and a portion of the extracellular FAS ligand-binding domain. One DLBCL carried a point mutation in the splice donor region of intron 8, which would result in exon skipping. Two DLBCL harbored a missense mutation in exon 9, which encodes the intracellular death domain. The two death domain mutations inhibited FAS ligand-induced apoptosis in a dominant-negative mode, when transiently expressed in human T47D breast carcinoma and Jurkat T cells. A signal peptide and an extracellular domain mutation, however, failed to inhibit apoptosis in these transfection assays. They are likely to reduce apoptosis in lymphoma cells solely by a loss of function.

However, the non-coding genome of DLBCL remains largely unexplored. Here we show that active super-enhancers are highly and specifically hypermutated in 92\% of samples from individuals with DLBCL, display signatures of activation-induced cytidine deaminase activity, and are linked to genes that encode B cell developmental regulators and oncogenes. As evidence of oncogenic relevance, we show that the hypermutated super-enhancers linked to the BCL6, BCL2 and CXCR4 proto-oncogenes prevent the binding and transcriptional downregulation of the corresponding target gene by transcriptional repressors, including BLIMP1 (targeting BCL6) and the steroid receptor NR3C1 (targeting BCL2 and CXCR4). Genetic correction of selected mutations restored repressor DNA binding, downregulated target gene expression and led to the counter-selection of cells containing corrected alleles, indicating an oncogenic dependency on the super-enhancer mutations.

Furthermore, multiple B-NHL subtypes have thus far not been comprehensively compared using the same methodology to identify conserved or subtype-specific patterns of genomic alterations. Here, we employed a large targeted hybrid-capture sequencing approach encompassing 380 genes to interrogate the genomic landscapes of 685 B-NHL tumors at high depth, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, and Burkitt lymphoma.

In addition, we identified subtype-specific patterns of genetic alterations, including clusters of co-occurring mutations and DNA copy number alterations. The cumulative burden of mutations within a single cluster were more discriminatory of B-NHL subtypes than individual mutations, implicating likely patterns of genetic cooperation that contribute to disease etiology.

Using whole-exome sequencing data from 51 newly diagnosed and immunochemotherapy-treated DLBCL patients, we evaluated the association of somatic genomic alterations with patient outcome, defined as failure to achieve event-free survival at 24 months after diagnosis (EFS24).

Globally, the number of gains was highly associated with poor outcome (P=7.4 × 10−12) and when combined with FOXO1 mutations identified 77\% of cases that failed to achieve EFS24.

More than 180 novel rare-disease-causing genes with Mendelian inheritance patterns have been discovered through sequencing the exomes of just a few unrelated individuals or family members. As rare/novel genetic variants continue to be uncovered, there is a major challenge in distinguishing true pathogenic variants from rare benign mutations. METHODS: We used publicly available exome cohorts, together with the dbSNP database, to derive a list of genes (n = 100) that most frequently exhibit rare ({\textless}1\%) non-synonymous/splice-site variants in general populations. We termed these genes FLAGS for FrequentLy mutAted GeneS and analyzed their properties. RESULTS: Analysis of FLAGS revealed that these genes have significantly longer protein coding sequences, a greater number of paralogs and display less evolutionarily selective pressure than expected. FLAGS are more frequently reported in PubMed clinical literature and more frequently associated with diseased phenotypes compared to the set of human protein-coding genes. We demonstrated an overlap between FLAGS and the rare-disease causing genes recently discovered through WES studies (n = 10) and the need for replication studies and rigorous statistical and biological analyses when associating FLAGS to rare disease. Finally, we showed how FLAGS are applied in disease-causing variant prioritization approach on exome data from a family affected by an unknown rare genetic disorder. CONCLUSIONS: We showed that some genes are frequently affected by rare, likely functional variants in general population, and are frequently observed in WES studies analyzing diverse rare phenotypes. We found that the rate at which genes accumulate rare mutations is beneficial information for prioritizing candidates. We provided a ranking system based on the mutation accumulation rates for prioritizing exome-captured human genes, and propose that clinical reports associating any disease/phenotype to FLAGS be evaluated with extra caution.}, language = {eng}, journal = {BMC medical genomics}, author = {Shyr, Casper and Tarailo-Graovac, Maja and Gottlieb, Michael and Lee, Jessica J.

IL-4 producing follicular helper T cells (TFH) are critical components of the FL TME. Binding of IL-4 to IL-4R on FL cells activates JAK/STAT signaling. We identified STAT6 mutations (STAT6MUT) in 13\% of FL (N\,=\,33/258), all clustered within the DNA binding domain. Gene expression data and immunohistochemistry showed upregulation of IL-4/STAT6 target genes in STAT6MUT FL, including CCL17, CCL22, and FCER2 (CD23). Functionally, STAT6MUT was gain-of-function by serial replating phenotype in pre-B CFU assays. Expression of STAT6MUT enhanced IL-4 induced FCER2/CD23, CCL17 and CCL22 expression and was associated with nuclear accumulation of pSTAT6. RNA sequencing identified PARP14 -a transcriptional switch and co-activator of STAT6- among the top differentially upregulated genes in IL-4 stimulated STAT6MUT lymphoma cells and in STAT6MUT primary FL cells. Quantitative chromatin immunoprecipitation (qChIP) demonstrated binding of STAT6MUT but not STAT6WT to the PARP14 promotor.

SF3B1 mutants were also detected at a lower frequency in a variety of other tumor types. In chronic lymphocytic leukemia, SF3B1 was found to be the second most frequently mutated gene.

In contrast, SF3B1 mutations have a lower incidence in early stages of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, are more common in advanced disease, and tend to be associated with poor prognosis, suggesting that they occur during clonal evolution of the disease.

To understand how T58 phosphorylation functions in normal cell physiology, we introduced an alanine mutation at T58 (T58A) into the endogenous c-Myc locus in the mouse germline. While MYC-T58A mice develop normally, lymphomas and myeloid leukemias emerge in ∼60\% of adult homozygous T58A mice.

In lymphocytes, genomic occupancy by MYC-T58A was increased at all promoters compared with WT MYC, while genes differentially expressed in a T58A-dependent manner were significantly more proximal to MYC-bound enhancers. MYC-T58A lymphocyte progenitors exhibited metabolic alterations and decreased activation of inflammatory and apoptotic pathways.

We have identified missense mutations within PTPN6 (N225K and A550V) in 5\% (2/38) of DLBCL tumors. Site directed mutagenesis was performed to mutate wild type (WT) PTPN6 and stable cell lines were generated by lentiviral transduction of PTPN6(WT), PTPN6(N225K) and PTPN6(A550V) constructs, and effects of WT or mutated PTPN6 on STAT3 signaling were analyzed. WT PTPN6 dephosphorylated STAT3, but had no effect on STAT1, STAT5 or STAT6 phosphorylation. Both PTPN6 mutants were unable to inhibit constitutive, as well as cytokines induced STAT3 activation. Both PTPN6 mutants also demonstrated reduced tyrosine phosphatase activity and exhibited enhanced STAT3 transactivation activity. Intriguingly, a lack of direct binding between STAT3 and WT or mutated PTPN6 was observed. However, compared to WT PTPN6, cells expressing PTPN6 mutants exhibited increased binding between JAK3 and PTPN6 suggesting a more dynamic interaction of PTPN6 with upstream regulators of STAT3. Consistent with this notion, both the mutants demonstrated increased resistance to JAK3 inhibitor, WHIP-154 relative to WT PTPN6.

Mir142 loss altered the hematopoietic differentiation of multipotent hematopoietic progenitors, enhancing their myeloid potential while suppressing their lymphoid potential. During hematopoietic maturation, loss of Mir142 increased ASH1L protein expression and consequently resulted in the aberrant maintenance of Hoxa gene expression in myeloid-committed hematopoietic progenitors. Mir142 loss also enhanced the disease-initiating activity of IDH2-mutant hematopoietic cells in mice.

These analyses revealed that loss of PTEN was detectable in 55\% of germinal center B-cell-like (GCB) DLBCLs, whereas this abnormality was found in only 14\% of non-GCB DLBCL patient samples. In GCB DLBCL, the PTEN status was inversely correlated with activation of the oncogenic PI3K/protein kinase B (AKT) pathway in both DLBCL cell lines and primary patient samples.

Here, we report that germinal center B cells are formed normally after depletion of OCT2 in a conditional knockout mouse, but their proliferation is reduced and in vivo differentiation to antibody-secreting plasma cells is blocked. This finding led us to examine the role of OCT2 in germinal center-derived lymphomas. shRNA knockdown showed that almost all diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cell lines are addicted to the expression of OCT2 and its coactivator OCA-B. Genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis and gene-expression profiling revealed the broad transcriptional program regulated by OCT2 that includes the expression of STAT3, IL-10, ELL2, XBP1, MYC, TERT, and ADA. Importantly, genetic alteration of OCT2 is not a requirement for cellular addiction in DLBCL.

DLBCL can be separated into the activated B cell-like (ABC) and germinal center B cell-like (GCB) subtypes, with distinct gene expression profiles, oncogenic aberrations, and clinical outcomes. ABC-DLBCL is characterized by chronically active B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling that can be modulated by Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) activity. Thus, BTK serves as an attractive therapeutic target in this type of B-cell malignancy. Ibrutinib, a first-in-class, orally available covalent BTK inhibitor, has demonstrated clinical activity in several B-cell leukemias and lymphomas. A phase 1/2 clinical trial of single-agent ibrutinib in relapsed and refractory DLBCL patients revealed an overall response rate of 37\% in ABC-DLBCL patients. However, responses to kinase-directed therapies are often limited by emerging resistance mechanisms that bypass the therapeutic target. Here we report the discovery of point mutations within the kinase PIM1 that reduce sensitivity to ibrutinib in ABC-DLBCL. These mutations stabilize PIM1 and affect upstream regulators and downstream targets of NF-κB signaling. The introduction of mutant PIM1 into an ABC-DLBCL cell line, TMD8, increased colony formation and decreased sensitivity to ibrutinib. In addition, ibrutinib-resistant cell lines generated by prolonged ibrutinib exposure in vitro upregulated PIM1 expression, consistent with a role for PIM1 in antagonizing ibrutinib activity. The combination of a pan-PIM inhibitor with ibrutinib synergistically inhibited proliferation in vitro and tumor growth in vivo.

The most frequently mutated gene was NFKBIE (21/315 cases; 7\%), which encodes IκBε, a negative regulator of NF-κB in normal B cells. Strikingly, 13 of these cases carried an identical 4-bp frameshift deletion, resulting in a truncated protein. Screening of an additional 377 CLL cases revealed that NFKBIE aberrations predominated in poor-prognostic patients and were associated with inferior outcome. Minor subclones and/or clonal evolution were also observed, thus potentially linking this recurrent event to disease progression. Compared with wild-type patients, NFKBIE-deleted cases showed reduced IκBε protein levels and decreased p65 inhibition, along with increased phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of p65. Considering the central role of B cell receptor (BcR) signaling in CLL pathobiology, it is notable that IκBε loss was enriched in aggressive cases with distinctive stereotyped BcR, likely contributing to their poor prognosis, and leading to an altered response to BcR inhibitors.

Here we show that the induction of ZC3H12A by IL-1beta is predominantly NF-kappaB-dependent because inhibition of this signalling pathway results in the impairment of ZC3H12A transcription activation. Our results indicate the presence of an IL-1beta-responding region within the second intron of the ZC3H12A gene, which contains four functional NF-kappaB-binding sites. Therefore, we propose that this transcription enhancer transduces a ZC3H12A transcription-inducing signal after IL-1beta stimulation. Recent reports suggest that MCPIP acts as a negative regulator of inflammatory processes because it is engaged in the degradation of transcripts coding for certain proinflammatory cytokines. Our observations provide evidence for a novel negative feedback loop in the activation of NF-kappaB and point to potential significance of MCPIP in the treatment of various pathological states, such as diabetes or cancer that involve disturbances in the functioning of the NF-kappaB system.}, langid = {english}, keywords = {Base Sequence,Binding Sites,Blotting Western,Cell Line Tumor,Chromatin Immunoprecipitation,Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay,Humans,I-kappa B Proteins,Interleukin-1beta,Molecular Sequence Data,Mutagenesis Site-Directed,NF-kappa B,Polymerase Chain Reaction,Ribonucleases,Signal Transduction,Transcription Factors,Transcription Genetic,Transcription Initiation Site} } @article{wangFasFADDDeathDomain2010, title = {The {{Fas-FADD}} Death Domain Complex Structure Reveals the Basis of {{DISC}} Assembly and Disease Mutations}, author = {Wang, Liwei and Yang, Jin Kuk and Kabaleeswaran, Venkataraman and Rice, Amanda J. and Cruz, Anthony C. and Park, Ah Young and Yin, Qian and Damko, Ermelinda and Jang, Se Bok and Raunser, Stefan and Robinson, Carol V. and Siegel, Richard M. and Walz, Thomas and Wu, Hao}, date = {2010-11}, journaltitle = {Nature Structural \& Molecular Biology}, shortjournal = {Nat Struct Mol Biol}, volume = {17}, number = {11}, eprint = {20935634}, eprinttype = {pmid}, pages = {1324--1329}, issn = {1545-9985}, doi = {10.1038/nsmb.1920}, abstract = {The death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) formed by the death receptor Fas, the adaptor protein FADD and caspase-8 mediates the extrinsic apoptotic program.

Histone H3K27 trimethylation is a mechanism for suppressing transcription of specific genes that are proximal to the site of histone modification. Point mutations of the EZH2 gene (Tyr641) have been reported to be linked to subsets of human B-cell lymphoma. The mutant allele is always found associated with a wild-type allele (heterozygous) in disease cells, and the mutations were reported to ablate the enzymatic activity of the PRC2 complex for methylating an unmodified peptide substrate. Here we demonstrate that the WT enzyme displays greatest catalytic efficiency (k(cat)/K) for the zero to monomethylation reaction of H3K27 and diminished efficiency for subsequent (mono- to di- and di- to trimethylation) reactions. In stark contrast, the disease-associated Y641 mutations display very limited ability to perform the first methylation reaction, but have enhanced catalytic efficiency for the subsequent reactions, relative to the WT enzyme. These results imply that the malignant phenotype of disease requires the combined activities of a H3K27 monomethylating enzyme (PRC2 containing WT EZH2 or EZH1) together with the mutant PRC2s for augmented conversion of H3K27 to the trimethylated form.

Assessing pathogenicity of nonsynonymous mutations is critical to evaluate melanoma risk in carriers. In the current study, we investigate 20 CDKN2A germline mutations whose effects on p16(INK4A) structure and function have not been previously documented (Thr18\_Ala19dup, Gly23Asp, Arg24Gln, Gly35Ala, Gly35Val, Ala57Val, Ala60Val, Ala60Arg, Leu65dup, Gly67Arg, Gly67\_Asn71del, Glu69Gly, Asp74Tyr, Thr77Pro, Arg80Pro, Pro81Thr, Arg87Trp, Leu97Arg, Arg99Pro, and [Leu113Leu;Pro114Ser]).

EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We identified novel somatic BTK mutations in 7\% of a combined total of 139 follicular lymphoma and 11 transformed follicular lymphoma cases, none of which had received prior treatment with B-cell receptor (BCR) targeted drugs. We reconstituted wild-type (WT) and mutant BTK into various engineered lymphoma cell lines. We measured BCR-induced signal transduction events in engineered cell lines and primary human follicular lymphoma B cells. RESULTS: We uncovered that all BTK mutants destabilized the BTK protein and some created BTK kinase-dead mutants. The phospholipase C gamma 2 (PLCγ2) is a substrate of BTK but the BTK mutants did not alter PLCγ2 phosphorylation. Instead, we discovered that BTK mutants induced an exaggerated AKT phosphorylation phenotype in anti-Ig-treated recombinant lymphoma cell lines. The short hairpin RNA-mediated knockdown of BTK expression in primary human nonmalignant lymph node-derived B cells resulted in strong anti-Ig-induced AKT activation, as did the degradation of BTK protein in cell lines using ibrutinib-based proteolysis targeting chimera. Finally, through analyses of primary human follicular lymphoma B cells carrying WT or mutant BTK, we detected elevated AKT phosphorylation following surface Ig crosslinking in all follicular lymphoma B cells, including all BTK-mutant follicular lymphoma. The augmented AKT phosphorylation following BCR crosslinking could be abrogated by pretreatment with a PI3Kδ inhibitor.

In this study, ATM gene alterations and protein expression were examined in 20 and 17 MCL tumor specimens, respectively. Previously, these patients had been examined for p53 and p14(ARF) gene status and analyzed by comparative genomic hybridization. Nine patients had 11q22-23 losses.

All truncating mutations were associated with lack of protein expression. Somatic origin was demonstrated in 3 mutations, whereas one mutation was carried heterozygously in the patient germ line.

Mutations in the genes that encode H1 isoforms B-E (H1B, H1C, H1D and H1E; also known as H1-5, H1-2, H1-3 and H1-4, respectively) are highly recurrent in B~cell lymphomas, but the pathogenic relevance of these mutations to cancer and the mechanisms that are involved are unknown. Here we show that lymphoma-associated H1 alleles are genetic driver mutations in lymphomas. Disruption of H1 function results in a profound architectural remodelling of the genome, which is characterized by large-scale yet focal shifts of chromatin from a compacted to a relaxed state. This decompaction drives distinct changes in epigenetic states, primarily owing to a gain of histone H3 dimethylation at lysine 36 (H3K36me2) and/or loss of repressive H3 trimethylation at lysine 27 (H3K27me3). These changes unlock the expression of stem cell genes that are normally silenced during early development. In mice, loss of H1c and H1e (also known as H1f2 and H1f4, respectively) conferred germinal centre B~cells with enhanced fitness and self-renewal properties, ultimately leading to aggressive lymphomas with an increased repopulating potential. Collectively, our data indicate that H1 proteins are normally required to sequester early developmental genes into architecturally inaccessible genomic compartments.

This finding led us to examine the role of OCT2 in germinal center-derived lymphomas. shRNA knockdown showed that almost all diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cell lines are addicted to the expression of OCT2 and its coactivator OCA-B. Genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis and gene-expression profiling revealed the broad transcriptional program regulated by OCT2 that includes the expression of STAT3, IL-10, ELL2, XBP1, MYC, TERT, and ADA. Importantly, genetic alteration of OCT2 is not a requirement for cellular addiction in DLBCL. However, we detected amplifications of the POU2F2 locus in DLBCL tumor biopsies and a recurrent mutation of threonine 223 in the DNA-binding domain of OCT2. This neomorphic mutation subtly alters the DNA-binding preference of OCT2, leading to the transactivation of noncanonical target genes including HIF1a and FCRL3 Finally, by introducing mutations designed to disrupt the OCT2-OCA-B interface, we reveal a requirement for this protein-protein interface that ultimately might be exploited therapeutically.

JAK2, mapping in this region, is presently regarded as a candidate oncogene because expression profiling showed high Janus kinase-2 (JAK2) transcript levels and JAK2 was found to be constitutively phosphorylated in mediastinal B-cell lymphomas. We confirm that in the MedB-1 mediastinal B-cell line, harboring a trisomy 9, JAK2 transcription is elevated and the product is highly phosphorylated. However, JAK2 is not overexpressed at the protein level. On top, JAK2 protein turnover is even delayed. This unexpected finding coincides with a biallelic mutation of the suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS-1) gene in this cell, which abrogates SOCS box function of the protein. Ectopic expression of wild-type (wt) SOCS-1 in MedB-1 leads to growth arrest and dramatic reduction of phospho-JAK2 and its downstream partner phospho-signal transducer and activator of transcription-5 (phospho-STAT5). Ultimately, the target gene cyclin D1 is repressed in transfectants while RB1, which is silenced in MedB-1, is induced. We conclude that, in MedB-1, action of phospho-JAK2 is sustained due to defective SOCS-1. Hence, SOCS-1 qualifies as a novel tumor suppressor.

The proapoptotic effects of S1PR2 are phenocopied by ectopic expression of the small G protein Gα13 but are independent of AKT signaling. We further show that low S1PR2 expression is a strong negative prognosticator of patient survival, alone and especially in combination with high FOXP1 expression.

RRAGC mutations, targeted to the endogenous locus in mice, confer a partial insensitivity to nutrient deprivation, but strongly exacerbate B cell responses and accelerate lymphomagenesis, while creating a selective vulnerability to pharmacological inhibition of mTORC1. This moderate increase in nutrient signaling synergizes with paracrine cues from the supportive T cell microenvironment that activates B cells via the PI3K-Akt-mTORC1 axis.

Hence, new treatment strategies are urgently needed. MEF2C, a member of the MEF2 transcription factor family gene, plays great important roles involved in the development of various tissues and the pathogenesis of lymphoma. However, the exact functions and molecular mechanisms of MEF2C in DLBCL are not fully investigated. By Sanger sequencing, we identified a novel point mutation of MEF2C at the p.N389 site in DLBCL patient, which was further validated by several DLBCL cell lines. Intriguingly, we found that the p.N389S mutation did not influence MEF2C expression, protein stability, and subcellular distribution, but enhanced its transcriptional activity.

Recent genome-wide sequencing efforts have unveiled the presence of frequent mutations in GNA13, the gene encoding the G protein Gα13, in Burkitt's lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We found that mutations in the downstream target of Gα13, RhoA, are also present in Burkitt's lymphoma and DLBCL. By multiple complementary approaches, we now show that that these cancer-specific GNA13 and RHOA mutations are inhibitory in nature, and that the expression of wild-type Gα13 in B-cell lymphoma cells with mutant GNA13 has limited impact in vitro but results in a remarkable growth inhibition in vivo. Thus, although Gα13 and RhoA activity has previously been linked to cellular transformation and metastatic potential of epithelial cancers, our findings support a tumor suppressive role for Gα13 and RhoA in Burkitt's lymphoma and DLBCL.}, langid = {english}, pmcid = {PMC4885800}, keywords = {Animals,B-Lymphocytes,Blotting Western,Burkitt Lymphoma,Cell Line Tumor,DNA Mutational Analysis,Dogs,GTP-Binding Protein alpha Subunits G12-G13,HEK293 Cells,Humans,Lymphoma Large B-Cell Diffuse,Madin Darby Canine Kidney Cells,Mice Inbred NOD,Mice Knockout,Mice SCID,Microscopy Confocal,Mutation,rhoA GTP-Binding Protein,Signal Transduction,Transplantation Heterologous,Tumor Suppressor Proteins} } @article{barisicARID1AOrchestratesSWI2024, title = {{{ARID1A}} Orchestrates {{SWI}}/{{SNF-mediated}} Sequential Binding of Transcription Factors with {{ARID1A}} Loss Driving Pre-Memory {{B}} Cell Fate and Lymphomagenesis}, author = {Barisic, Darko and Chin, Christopher R. and Meydan, Cem and Teater, Matt and Tsialta, Ioanna and Mlynarczyk, Coraline and Chadburn, Amy and Wang, Xuehai and Sarkozy, Margot and Xia, Min and Carson, Sandra E. and Raggiri, Santo and Debek, Sonia and Pelzer, Benedikt and Durmaz, Ceyda and Deng, Qing and Lakra, Priya and Rivas, Martin and Steidl, Christian and Scott, David W. and Weng, Andrew P. and Mason, Christopher E. and Green, Michael R. and Melnick, Ari}, date = {2024-04-08}, journaltitle = {Cancer Cell}, shortjournal = {Cancer Cell}, volume = {42}, number = {4}, eprint = {38458187}, eprinttype = {pmid}, pages = {583-604.e11}, issn = {1878-3686}, doi = {10.1016/j.ccell.2024.02.010}, abstract = {ARID1A, a subunit of the canonical BAF nucleosome remodeling complex, is commonly mutated in lymphomas.

Using different biochemical, molecular, and functional approaches, we analyzed the Fas signaling in malignant B cells from seven MALT-type lymphomas that were additionally characterized for the t(11;18)(q21;q21) and four gastric diffuse large B cell lymphomas (DLBL). All DLBLs and three of seven MALT-type lymphomas were resistant to Fas-mediated apoptosis in vitro. Moreover, four of five MALT-type lymphomas analyzed and one of three DLBLs analyzed showed mutations in Fas mRNA transcripts but no loss of heterozygosity in the Fas promotor region.

Our data provide a comprehensive understanding of the landscape of mutations in a small subset of PT-DLBCL. METHODS: A total of 76 PT-DLBCL patients were sequenced, and their clinical data and follow-up data were collected. The relationship between mutated genes, clinical data and prognosis and survival of PT-DLBCL patients was retrospectively analyzed by statistical software. RESULTS: We observed a median of 15 protein-altering variants per patient in our data and was identified recurrent oncogenic mutations of 360 lymphoma-related genes involved in PT-DLBCL, including PIM1 (74\%), MYD88 (50\%), KMT2D (38\%), KMT2C (34\%), BTG2 (34\%), TBL1XR1 (34\%) and ETV6 (24\%). Compared with classic DLBCL, PT-DLBCL showed an increased mutation frequency of PIM1, MYD88, BTG2, while NOTCH1 appeared exclusive mutated with PIM1, MSH3 and ETV6. Cox risk model regression analysis showed that age ≥60 years, IPI 3-5 points, BTG2 gene mutation and extranodal organ invasion suggested poor prognosis. Finally, we constructed an OS predict model of PT-DLBCL patients using above factors with a high accuracy.

The aforementioned tools were also used to perform an integrative investigation of driver genes, including co-expression network, protein-protein interaction, copy number variation and survival analyses.

NOTCH3, LAMC1, COL4A1, PDGFRB and KDR were the 5 hub genes in the blue module that were associated with patient age. TP53, MYC, EGFR, PTEN, IL6, STAT3, MAPK8, TNF and CDH1 were at the core of the protein-protein interaction network.

Herein, we show that BCL10 mutants fall into at least two functionally distinct classes: missense mutations of the BCL10 CARD domain and truncation of its C-terminal tail. Truncating mutations abrogated a motif through which MALT1 inhibits BCL10 polymerization, trapping MALT1 in its activated filament-bound state. CARD missense mutations enhanced BCL10 filament formation, forming glutamine network structures that stabilize BCL10 filaments. Mutant forms of BCL10 were less dependent on upstream CARD11 activation and thus manifested resistance to BTK inhibitors, whereas BCL10 truncating but not CARD mutants were hypersensitive to MALT1 inhibitors. Therefore, BCL10 mutations are potential biomarkers for BTK inhibitor resistance in ABC-DLBCL, and further precision can be achieved by selecting therapy based on specific biochemical effects of distinct mutation classes. SIGNIFICANCE: ABC-DLBCLs feature frequent mutations of signaling mediators that converge on the CBM complex. We use structure-function approaches to reveal that BCL10 mutations fall into two distinct biochemical classes. Both classes confer resistance to BTK inhibitors, whereas BCL10 truncations confer hyperresponsiveness to MALT1 inhibitors, providing a road map for precision therapies in ABC-DLBCLs.

Furthermore, monoallelic Smarca4 deletion drove GC hyperplasia with centroblast polarization via significantly increased rates of centrocyte recycling to the dark zone. Mechanistically, Smarca4 loss reduced the activity of TFs that are activated in centrocytes to drive GC-exit, including SPI1 (PU.1), IRF family, and NF-κB. Loss of activity for these factors phenocopied aberrant BCL6 activity within murine centrocytes and human Burkitt lymphoma cells. SMARCA4 therefore facilitates chromatin accessibility for TFs that shape centrocyte trajectories, and loss of fine-control of these programs biases toward centroblast cell-fate, GC hyperplasia and lymphoma.}, langid = {english}, pmcid = {PMC11003852}, keywords = {Animals,B-cell,BAF,Chromatin,DNA Helicases,epigenetics,germinal center,Haploinsufficiency,Humans,Hyperplasia,immunology,lymphoma,Lymphoma B-Cell,Mice,Nuclear Proteins,SMARCA4,SWI/SNF,transcription,Transcription Factors} } @article{challa-malladiCombinedGeneticInactivation2011, title = {Combined Genetic Inactivation of Β2-{{Microglobulin}} and {{CD58}} Reveals Frequent Escape from Immune Recognition in Diffuse Large {{B}} Cell Lymphoma}, author = {Challa-Malladi, Madhavi and Lieu, Yen K. and Califano, Olivia and Holmes, Antony B. and Bhagat, Govind and Murty, Vundavalli V. and Dominguez-Sola, David and Pasqualucci, Laura and Dalla-Favera, Riccardo}, date = {2011-12-13}, journaltitle = {Cancer Cell}, shortjournal = {Cancer Cell}, volume = {20}, number = {6}, eprint = {22137796}, eprinttype = {pmid}, pages = {728--740}, issn = {1878-3686}, doi = {10.1016/j.ccr.2011.11.006}, abstract = {We report that diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) commonly fails to express cell-surface molecules necessary for the recognition of tumor cells by immune-effector cells.

Surprisingly, B-cell lymphoma cell lines and lymphoma samples harboring heterozygous EZH2(Y641) mutations have increased levels of histone H3 Lys-27-specific trimethylation (H3K27me3). Expression of EZH2(Y641F/N) mutants in cells with EZH2(WT) resulted in an increase of H3K27me3 levels in vivo. Structural modeling of EZH2(Y641) mutants suggests a "Tyr/Phe switch" model whereby structurally neutral, nontyrosine residues at position 641 would decrease affinity for unmethylated and monomethylated H3K27 substrates and potentially favor trimethylation. We demonstrate, using in vitro enzyme assays of reconstituted PRC2 complexes, that Y641 mutations result in a decrease in monomethylation and an increase in trimethylation activity of the enzyme relative to the wild-type enzyme. This represents the first example of a disease-associated gain-of-function mutation in a histone methyltransferase, whereby somatic EZH2 Y641 mutations in lymphoma act dominantly to increase, rather than decrease, histone methylation.

To address this issue, we investigated whether these entities share mutations. Ultra-deep targeted resequencing of six typical and 11 histopathological variants of nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma, and nine cases of T-cell/histiocyte-rich large B-cell lymphoma revealed that genes recurrently mutated in nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma are affected by mutations at similar frequencies in T-cell/histiocyte-rich large B-cell lymphoma. The most recurrently mutated genes were JUNB, DUSP2, SGK1, SOCS1 and CREBBP, which harbored mutations more frequently in T-cell/histiocyte-rich large B-cell lymphoma and the histopathological variants of nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma than in its typical form. Mutations in JUNB, DUSP2, SGK1 and SOCS1 were highly enriched for somatic hypermutation hotspot sites, suggesting an important role of aberrant somatic hypermutation in the generation of these somatic mutations and thus in the pathogenesis of both lymphoma entities.

We previously defined the recurrent genetic alterations in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and identified associated substructure and additional potential genetic bases for immune escape. CD70 was the most commonly perturbed immune response pathway component in our cohort of primary DLBCLs; alterations included inactivating mutations and copy loss. CD70 co-stimulation of CD27+ T cells induces antigen-dependent T-cell expansion and immune surveillance of normal and malignant B cells. Given the frequent co-association of CD70 alterations and BCL6 translocations in our DLBCL patient series, we assessed the consequences of Cd70 deficiency on Bcl6-driven lymphomagenesis in a murine model. We crossed previously generated Cd70−/- and Bcl6tg/+ mice to obtain Cd70−/−; Bcl6tg/+ animals. In our aging cohorts, Cd70−/−; Bcl6tg/+ mice developed significantly increased numbers of histopathologically confirmed DLBCLs at earlier timepoints, compared to Bcl6tg/+ animals. Both the Cd70−/−; Bcl6tg/+ and Bcl6tg/+ mice that were euthanized for symptoms exhibited massive splenomegaly and lymphomatous splenic infiltration. None of the wild-type (WT) and Cd70−/- animals developed lymphoma. To characterize potential differences in anti-tumor responses in Cd70−/−; Bcl6tg/+ versus Bcl6tg/+ mice, we harvested spleens from asymptomatic animals in each cohort at 6, 14 and 18 months (mo). Cd70−/−; Bcl6tg/+ mice exhibited significantly earlier onset splenomegaly than Bcl6tg/+ animals (both in comparison with WT mice). We performed single cell RNA sequencing of splenic cell suspensions from each murine cohort at the above-mentioned predetermined timepoints (6, 14 and 18 mo) and describe genotype-related changes in splenic CD8+ T-cell infiltration in this abstract. Our study revealed an age-related decline in the percentages of naive CD8+ T cells in all genotypes, with more striking and earlier changes in Cd70−/−; Bcl6tg/+ animals. Cd70−/−; Bcl6tg/+ and Bcl6tg/+ mice exhibited a selective and significant expansion of CD8+ cytotoxic T cells (CTLs), which expressed Gzmb and Prf1 and the exhaustion markers, Pdcd1, Lag3, Tigit, Tox and Tim3, and exhibited clonal expansion. At 6 mo, prior to splenic enlargement and the development of symptoms, CD8+ CTLs in Cd70−/−; Bcl6tg/+ animals expressed significantly higher levels of exhaustion markers than those in Bcl6tg/+ mice. Consistent with this finding, there was a more limited expansion and a subsequent contraction of these splenic CD8+ CTLs in Cd70−/−; Bcl6tg/+ mice, in comparison to Bcl6tg/+ animals. Taken together, these findings suggest that initial anti-tumor immune responses are less effective in Cd70−/−; Bcl6tg/+ mice than in Bcl6tg/+ animals and highlight the likely importance of CD70/CD27 co-stimulation in CD8+ T-cell response to Bcl6-driven DLBCL.Citation Format: Elisa Mandato, Eleonora Calabretta, Gali Bai, Li Song, Yanbo Sun, Vignesh Shanmugam, Julia Paczkowska, Il-Kyu Choi, Robert Redd, Ming Tang, Lee N Lawton, Donna Neuberg, Scott Rodig, Franziska Michor, Baochun Zhang, Margaret A Shipp. Cd70 genetic perturbation limits the development of an effective CD8+ T-cell immune response to Bcl6-driven diffuse large B-cell lymphoma [abstract].

However, the role of CD70 in B-cell malignancies remains controversial. METHODS: We investigated the clinical relevance of CD70 genetic alterations and its protein expression in two diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cohorts with different ethnic backgrounds. We also performed transcriptomic analysis to explore the role of CD70 alterations in tumour microenvironment. We further tested the blockade of CD70 in combination with PD-L1 inhibitor in a murine lymphoma model. RESULTS: We showed that CD70 genetic aberrations occurred more frequently in the Chinese DLBCL cohort (56/233, 24.0\%) than in the Swedish cohort (9/84, 10.8\%), especially in those with concomitant hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The CD70 genetic changes in DLBCL resulted in a reduction/loss of protein expression and/or CD27 binding, which might impair T cell priming and were independently associated with poor overall survival. Paradoxically, we observed that over-expression of CD70 protein was also associated with a poor treatment response, as well as an advanced disease stage and EBV infection. More exhausted CD8+ T cells were furthermore identified in CD70 high-expression DLBCLs. Finally, in a murine lymphoma model, we demonstrated that blocking the CD70/CD27 and/or PD1/PD-L1 interactions could reduce CD70+ lymphoma growth in vivo, by directly impairing the tumour cell proliferation and rescuing the exhausted T cells. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that CD70 can play a role in either tumour suppression or oncogenesis in DLBCL, likely via distinct immune evasion mechanisms, that is, impairing T cell priming or inducing T cell exhaustion. Characterisation of specific dysfunction of CD70 in DLBCL may thus provide opportunities for the development of novel targeted immuno-therapeutic strategies.}, langid = {english}, pmcid = {PMC9722974}, keywords = {Animals,B-Lymphocytes,CD27 Ligand,CD70,CD8-Positive T-Lymphocytes,diffuse large B-cell lymphoma,Epstein-Barr Virus Infections,genetic aberration,HBV infection,Humans,immune evasion,Lymphoma Large B-Cell Diffuse,Mice,Tumor Microenvironment} } @article{abateDistinctViralMutational2015, title = {Distinct {{Viral}} and {{Mutational Spectrum}} of {{Endemic Burkitt Lymphoma}}}, author = {Abate, F. and Ambrosio, M. and Mundo, L. and Laginestra, M. and Fuligni, F. and Rossi, M. and Zairis, Sakellarios and Gazaneo, Sara and Falco, G.

Fbxw7 (or hCdc4), a member of the F-box family of proteins, which are substrate recognition components of the multisubunit ubiquitin ligase SCF (Skp1-Cdc53/Cullin-F-box-protein), has been shown to mediate the ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis of several oncoproteins including cyclin E1, c-Myc, c-Jun, and Notch. The oncogenic potential of Fbxw7 substrates, frequent allelic loss in human cancers, and demonstration that mutation of FBXW7 cooperates with p53 in mouse tumorigenesis have suggested that Fbxw7 could function as a tumor suppressor in human cancer. Here, we carry out an extensive genetic screen of primary tumors to evaluate the role of FBXW7 as a tumor suppressor in human tumorigenesis. Our results indicate that FBXW7 is inactivated by mutation in diverse human cancer types with an overall mutation frequency of ∼6\%. The highest mutation frequencies were found in tumors of the bile duct (cholangiocarcinomas, 35\%), blood (T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia, 31\%), endometrium (9\%), colon (9\%), and stomach (6\%). Approximately 43\% of all mutations occur at two mutational “hotspots,” which alter Arg residues (Arg465 and Arg479) that are critical for substrate recognition. Furthermore, we show that Fbxw7Arg465 hotspot mutant can abrogate wild-type Fbxw7 function through a dominant negative mechanism. Our study is the first comprehensive screen of FBXW7 mutations in various human malignancies and shows that FBXW7 is a general tumor suppressor in human cancer.

The complexity of their RNA targets and specificity of RNA recognition in vivo is not well understood.

RESULTS: SRSF3 and SRSF4 binding sites mapped to largely non-overlapping target genes, and in vivo consensus binding motifs were distinct. Interactions with intronless and intron-containing mRNAs as well as non-coding RNAs were detected. Surprisingly, both SR proteins bound to the 3' ends of the majority of intronless histone transcripts, implicating SRSF3 and SRSF4 in histone mRNA metabolism. In contrast, SRSF3 but not SRSF4 specifically bound transcripts encoding numerous RNA binding proteins. Remarkably, SRSF3 was shown to modulate alternative splicing of its own as well as three other transcripts encoding SR proteins. These SRSF3-mediated splicing events led to downregulation of heterologous SR proteins via nonsense-mediated decay. CONCLUSIONS: SRSF3 and SRSF4 display unique RNA binding properties underlying diverse cellular regulatory mechanisms, with shared as well as unique coding and non-coding targets.

A thorough understanding of the biological role of BCL6 in normal B cell development and lymphomagenesis depends upon the identification of the full set of genes that are targets of its transcriptional regulatory function. Recently, the identification of BCL6 targets has been implemented with the use of genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation and gene expression profiling approaches. A large set of promoters have been shown to be physically bound by BCL6, but only a fraction of them appears to be subjected to transcriptional repression in GC B cells.

Regulation of recombination activating gene (RAG)-1 and RAG-2 expression is one key process that is mediated by PI3K to ensure developmental progression and selection. When PI3K signals are too high or too low, expression of RAGs does not turn off and B cell development is impaired or blocked. Yet, the mechanism which tunes PI3K activity to control RAG expression during B cell development in the bone marrow is unknown. Recently we showed that a c-Myc/miR17-92/PTEN axis regulates PI3K activity for positive and negative selection of immature B cells. Here, we show that the c-Myc/miR17-92/PTEN axis tunes PI3K activity to control the expression of RAGs in proB cells. Using different genetically engineered mouse models we show that impaired function of the c-Myc/miR17-92/PTEN axis alters the PI3K/Akt/Foxo1 pathway to result in dis-regulated expression of RAG and a block in B cell development. Studies using 38c-13 B lymphoma cells, where RAGs are constitutively expressed, suggest that this regulatory effect is mediated post-translationally through Foxo1.}, langid = {english}, pmcid = {PMC6262168}, keywords = {B cell development,microRNA,PI3K–AKT pathway,PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog),recombination activating gene (RAG)} } @article{blenkGerminalCenterCelllike2007, title = {Germinal Center {{B}} Cell-like ({{GCB}}) and Activated {{B}} Cell-like ({{ABC}}) Type of Diffuse Large {{B}} Cell Lymphoma ({{DLBCL}}): Analysis of Molecular Predictors, Signatures, Cell Cycle State and Patient Survival.}, author = {Blenk, S and Engelmann, J and Weniger, M and Schultz, J and Dittrich, M and Rosenwald, A and Muller-Hermelink, H K and Müller, T and Dandekar, T}, date = {2007}, journaltitle = {Cancer informatics}, volume = {3}, pages = {399--420} } @article{bohersTargetableActivatingMutations, title = {Targetable Activating Mutations Are Very Frequent in {{GCB}} and {{ABC}} Diffuse Large {{B-cell}} Lymphoma.}, author = {Bohers, Elodie and Mareschal, Sylvain and Bouzelfen, Abdelilah and Marchand, Vinciane and Ruminy, Philippe and Maingonnat, Catherine and Ménard, Anne-Lise and Etancelin, Pascaline and Bertrand, Philippe and Dubois, Sydney and Alcantara, Marion and Bastard, Christian and Tilly, Hervé and Jardin, Fabrice}, journaltitle = {Genes Chromosome Canc}, volume = {53}, number = {2}, pages = {144--153} } @article{bohleRoleEarlyBcell2013, title = {Role of Early {{B-cell}} Factor 1 ({{EBF1}}) in {{Hodgkin}} Lymphoma}, author = {Bohle, V. and Döring, C. and Hansmann, M.-L. and Küppers, R.}, date = {2013-03}, journaltitle = {Leukemia}, shortjournal = {Leukemia}, volume = {27}, number = {3}, eprint = {23174882}, eprinttype = {pmid}, pages = {671--679}, issn = {1476-5551}, doi = {10.1038/leu.2012.280}, abstract = {A hallmark of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) is that the B-cell-derived Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) tumor cells have largely lost the B-cell-typical gene expression program. The factors causing this 'reprogramming' of HRS cells are only partly understood. As early B-cell factor 1 (EBF1), a major B-cell transcription factor, is downregulated in HRS cells, we analyzed whether this downregulation contributes to the lost B-cell phenotype and tested the consequences of EBF1 re-expression in cHL cell lines. EBF1 re-expression caused an upregulation of B-cell genes, such as CD19, CD79A and CD79B, although the B-cell genes FOXO1 and PAX5 remained lowly expressed. The re-expression of CD19, CD79A and CD79B occurred largely without demethylation of promoter CpG motifs of these genes. In the cHL cell line L-1236 fitness decreased after EBF1 re-expression. These data show that EBF1 has the ability to reintroduce part of the B-cell signature in cHL cell lines. Loss of EBF1 expression in HRS cells therefore contributes to their lost B-cell phenotype. Notably, in the cHL cell line KM-H2 destructive mutations were found in one allele of EBF1, indicating that genetic lesions may sometimes have a role in impairing EBF1 expression.}, langid = {english}, keywords = {Apoptosis,B-Lymphocytes,Base Sequence,Biomarkers Tumor,Blotting Western,Cell Proliferation,CpG Islands,DNA Methylation,Gene Expression Profiling,Gene Expression Regulation Neoplastic,Hodgkin Disease,Humans,Molecular Sequence Data,Oligonucleotide Array Sequence Analysis,Promoter Regions Genetic,Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction,Reed-Sternberg Cells,Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction,RNA Messenger,Sequence Homology Nucleic Acid,Trans-Activators} } @article{bothamSmallMoleculeProcaspase3Activation2016, title = {Small-{{Molecule Procaspase-3 Activation Sensitizes Cancer}} to {{Treatment}} with {{Diverse Chemotherapeutics}}}, author = {Botham, Rachel C. and Roth, Howard S. and Book, Alison P. and Roady, Patrick J. and Fan, Timothy M. and Hergenrother, Paul J.}, date = {2016-08-24}, journaltitle = {ACS central science}, shortjournal = {ACS Cent Sci}, volume = {2}, number = {8}, eprint = {27610416}, eprinttype = {pmid}, pages = {545--559}, issn = {2374-7943}, doi = {10.1021/acscentsci.6b00165}, abstract = {Conventional chemotherapeutics remain essential treatments for most cancers, but their combination with other anticancer drugs (including targeted therapeutics) is often complicated by unpredictable synergies and multiplicative toxicities. As cytotoxic anticancer chemotherapeutics generally function through induction of apoptosis, we hypothesized that a molecularly targeted small molecule capable of facilitating a central and defining step in the apoptotic cascade, the activation of procaspase-3 to caspase-3, would broadly and predictably enhance activity of cytotoxic drugs. Here we show that procaspase-activating compound 1 (PAC-1) enhances cancer cell death induced by 15 different FDA-approved chemotherapeutics, across many cancer types and chemotherapeutic targets. In particular, the promising combination of PAC-1 and doxorubicin induces a synergistic reduction in tumor burden and enhances survival in murine tumor models of osteosarcoma and lymphoma. This PAC-1/doxorubicin combination was evaluated in 10 pet dogs with naturally occurring metastatic osteosarcoma or lymphoma, eliciting a biologic response in 3 of 6 osteosarcoma patients and 4 of 4 lymphoma patients. Importantly, in both mice and dogs, coadministration of PAC-1 with doxorubicin resulted in no additional toxicity. On the basis of the mode of action of PAC-1 and the high expression of procaspase-3 in many cancers, these results suggest the combination of PAC-1 with cytotoxic anticancer drugs as a potent and general strategy to enhance therapeutic response.}, langid = {english}, pmcid = {PMC4999974} } @article{bowlerMisidentificationMLL3Other2019, title = {Misidentification of {{MLL3}} and Other Mutations in Cancer Due to Highly Homologous Genomic Regions}, author = {Bowler, Timothy G. and Pradhan, Kith and Kong, Yu and Bartenstein, Matthias and Morrone, Kerry A. and Sridharan, Ashwin and Kessel, Rachel M. and Shastri, Aditi and Giricz, Orsi and Bhagat, Tushar D. and Gordon-Mitchell, Shanisha and Rohanizadegan, Mersedeh and Hooda, Lauren and Datt, Ishan and Przychodzen, Bartlomiej P. and Parmar, Simrit and Maqbool, Shahina and Maciejewski, Jaroslaw P. and Steidl, Ulrich and Greally, John M. and Verma, Amit}, date = {2019-12}, journaltitle = {Leukemia \& Lymphoma}, shortjournal = {Leuk Lymphoma}, volume = {60}, number = {13}, eprint = {31288594}, eprinttype = {pmid}, pages = {3132--3137}, issn = {1029-2403}, doi = {10.1080/10428194.2019.1630620}, abstract = {The MLL3 gene has been shown to be recurrently mutated in many malignancies including in families with acute myeloid leukemia.

Here, we report a comprehensive analysis of recurrent genetic alterations -somatic mutations, somatic copy number alterations, and structural variants-in a cohort of 37 newly diagnosed PMBLs. We identified a median of 9 genetic drivers per PMBL, including known and newly identified components of the JAK/STAT and NF-κB signaling pathways and frequent B2M alterations that limit major histocompatibility complex class I expression, as in cHL. PMBL also exhibited frequent, newly identified driver mutations in ZNF217 and an additional epigenetic modifier, EZH2. The majority of these alterations were clonal, which supports their role as early drivers.

We describe 36 novel PDL SRs, including 17 intrachromosomal events (inversions, duplications, deletions) and 19 translocations involving BZRAP-AS1, CD44, GET4, IL4R, KIAA0226L, MID1, RCC1, PTPN1 and segments of the immunoglobulin loci. Moreover, analysis of the precise chromosomal breakpoints reveals 2 distinct cluster breakpoint regions (CBRs) within either CD274 (CBR1) or PDCD1LG2 (CBR2). To determine the phenotypic consequences of these SRs, we performed immunohistochemistry for CD274 and PDCD1LG2 on primary pretreatment biopsies and found that PDL SRs are significantly associated with PDL protein expression.

We performed targeted sequencing of MYC, BCL2, BCL6, and the immunoglobulin (IG) loci in 112 tumors with DLBCL morphology harboring MYC rearrangement. We characterized the location of the MYC rearrangement at base pair resolution and identified the partner in 88 cases. We observed a cluster of breakpoints upstream of the MYC coding region and in intron 1 (the "genic cluster"). Genic cluster rearrangements were enriched for translocations involving IGH (80\%), whereas nongenic rearrangements occurred mostly downstream of the MYC gene with a variety of partners, including IGL and IGK Other recurrent partners included BCL6, ZCCHC7, and RFTN1, which has not previously been described as a MYC partner. We compared 2 commercially available FISH break-apart assays for the MYC locus and observed discordant results in 32\% of cases examined, including some with MYC-IGL and MYC-IGK rearrangements. In cases of high-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangement (HGBL-DH), so-called "double-hit" lymphomas, the majority of MYC rearrangements had non-IG partners (65\%), with breakpoints outside the genic cluster (72\%). In patients with de novo HGBL-DH of DLBCL morphology, MYC-IG rearrangements showed a trend toward inferior time to progression and overall survival compared with MYC-non-IG rearrangements.

This domain is phosphorylated by the MEK/Erk (extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase) pathway and this modification is essential for the splicing regulatory activity and the nuclear/cytoplasmic translocation of DAZAP1. Using mRNA-seq, we identify endogenous splicing events regulated by DAZAP1, many of which are involved in maintaining cell growth.

However, except for a small fraction of cases, it remains unclear whether NF-kappaB activation in these tumours represents an intrinsic program of the tumour cell of origin or a pathogenetic event. Here we show that {$>$}50\% of ABC-DLBCL and a smaller fraction of GCB-DLBCL carry somatic mutations in multiple genes, including negative (TNFAIP3, also called A20) and positive (CARD11, TRAF2, TRAF5, MAP3K7 (TAK1) and TNFRSF11A (RANK)) regulators of NF-kappaB. Of these, the A20 gene, which encodes a ubiquitin-modifying enzyme involved in termination of NF-kappaB responses, is most commonly affected, with approximately 30\% of patients displaying biallelic inactivation by mutations and/or deletions. When reintroduced in cell lines carrying biallelic inactivation of the gene, A20 induced apoptosis and cell growth arrest, indicating a tumour suppressor role. Less frequently, missense mutations of TRAF2 and CARD11 produce molecules with significantly enhanced ability to activate NF-kappaB.

A total of 774 DLBCL cases characterized for cell of origin by the Hans classifier were analyzed using fluorescence in situ hybridization with BCL2, BCL6, MYC, immunoglobulin (IG)K, and IGL break-apart and IGH/MYC, IGK/MYC, and IGL/MYC fusion probes. MYC-R was observed in 51/574 (8.9\%) evaluable DLBCL cases. MYC-R cases were predominantly of the germinal center B-cell–like subtype 37/51 (74\%) with no distinctive morphologic and phenotypic features. Nineteen cases were MYC single-hit and 32 cases were MYC double-hit (MYC plus BCL2 and/or BCL6) DLBCL. MYC translocation partner was an IG gene in 24 cases (MYC-IG) and a non-IG gene (MYC-non-IG) in 26 of 50 evaluable cases. Noteworthy, MYC-IG patients had shorter overall survival (OS) (P = .0002) compared with MYC-negative patients, whereas no survival difference was observed between MYC-non-IG and MYC-negative patients. In multivariate analyses, MYC-IG predicted poor progression-free survival (P = .0051) and OS (P = .0006) independently from the International Prognostic Index and the Hans classifier. In conclusion, we show in this prospective randomized trial that the adverse prognostic impact of MYC-R is correlated to the MYC-IG translocation partner gene in DLBCL patients treated with immunochemotherapy.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: We randomly assigned 619 patients with relapsed/refractory aggressive lymphoma to treatment with gemcitabine, dexamethasone, and cisplatin (GDP) or to dexamethasone, cytarabine, and cisplatin (DHAP). Patients with B-cell lymphoma also received rituximab. Responding patients proceeded to stem-cell collection and ASCT. Coprimary end points were response rate after two treatment cycles and transplantation rate. The noninferiority margin for the response rate to GDP relative to DHAP was set at 10\%. Secondary end points included event-free and overall survival, treatment toxicity, and quality of life. RESULTS: For the intention-to-treat population, the response rate with GDP was 45.2\%; with DHAP the response rate was 44.0\% (95\% CI for difference, -9.0\% to 6.7\%), meeting protocol-defined criteria for noninferiority of GDP (P = .005). Similar results were obtained in a per-protocol analysis. The transplantation rates were 52.1\% with GDP and 49.3\% with DHAP (P = .44). At a median follow-up of 53 months, no differences were detected in event-free survival (HR, 0.99; stratified log-rank P = .95) or overall survival (HR, 1.03; P = .78) between GDP and DHAP. Treatment with GDP was associated with less toxicity (P {$<$} .001) and need for hospitalization (P {$<$} .001), and preserved quality of life (P = .04).

In vitro, DAZAP1 interacts with both the Y chromosome-encoded DAZ and an autosome-encoded DAZ-like protein, DAZL. DAZAP1 contains two RNA-binding domains (RBDs) and a proline-rich C-terminal portion, and is expressed most abundantly in the testis. To understand the biological function of DAZAP1 and the significance of its interaction with DAZ and DAZL, we isolated and characterized the mouse Dazap1 gene, and studied its expression and the subcellular localization of its protein product. Results The human and mouse genes have similar genomic structures and map to syntenic chromosomal regions. The mouse and human DAZAP1 proteins share 98\% identity and their sequences are highly similar to the Xenopus orthologue Prrp, especially in the RBDs. Dazap1 is expressed throughout testis development. Western blot detects a single 45 kD DAZAP1 protein that is most abundant in the testis. Although a majority of DAZAP1 is present in the cytoplasmic fraction, they are not associated with polyribosomes. Conclusions DAZAP1 is evolutionarily highly conserved. Its predominant expression in testes suggests a role in spermatogenesis.

Unlike most NHL subtypes, PMBL lacks recurrent gene rearrangements to serve as biomarkers or betray target genes. While druggable, late chemotherapeutic complications warrant the search for new targets and models. Well characterized tumor cell lines provide unlimited material to serve as preclinical resources for verifiable analyses directed at the discovery of new biomarkers and pathological targets using high throughput microarray technologies. The same cells may then be used to seek intelligent therapies directed at clinically validated targets. Four cell lines have emerged as potential PMBL models: FARAGE, KARPAS-1106P, MEDB-1 and U-2940. Transcriptionally, PMBL cell lines cluster near c(lassical)-HL and B-NHL examples showing they are related but separate entities. Here we document genomic alterations therein, by cytogenetics and high density oligonucleotide/SNP microarrays and parse their impact by integrated global expression profiling. PMBL cell lines were distinguished by moderate chromosome rearrangement levels undercutting cHL, while lacking oncogene translocations seen in B-NHL. In total 61 deletions were shared by two or more cell lines, together with 12 amplifications (≥4x) and 72 homozygous regions. Integrated genomic and transcriptional profiling showed deletions to be the most important class of chromosome rearrangement. Lesions were mapped to several loci associated with PMBL, e.g. 2p15 (REL/COMMD1), 9p24 (JAK2, CD274), 16p13 (SOCS1, LITAF, CIITA); plus new or tenuously associated loci: 2p16 (MSH6), 6q23 (TNFAIP3), 9p22 (CDKN2A/B), 20p12 (PTPN1).

Clinical or genetic features to predict the risk and timing of HT have not been described comprehensively. In this study, we analyzed whole-genome sequencing data from 423 patients to compare the protein coding and noncoding mutation landscapes of untransformed FL, transformed FL, and de novo DLBCL.

Each subgroup has distinguishing mutational patterns, aberrant somatic hypermutation rates, and biological and clinical characteristics. We implemented a machine learning-derived classification approach to stratify patients with FL into cFL and dFL subgroups based on their genomic features. Using separate validation cohorts, we demonstrate that cFL status, whether assigned with this full classifier or a single-gene approximation, is associated with a reduced rate of HT.

Lymphomas with gene expression features of PMBL have been described in nonmediastinal sites, raising questions about how these tumors should be classified. Here, we investigated whether these nonmediastinal lymphomas are indeed PMBLs or instead represent a distinct group within diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). From a cohort of 325 de novo DLBCL cases, we identified tumors from patients without evidence of anterior mediastinal involvement that expressed a PMBL expression signature (nm-PMBLsig+; n = 16; 5\%). A majority of these tumors expressed MAL and CD23, proteins typically observed in bona fide PMBL (bf-PMBL). Evaluation of clinical features of nm-PMBLsig+ cases revealed close associations with DLBCL, and a majority displayed a germinal center B cell-like cell of origin (GCB). In contrast to patients with bf-PMBL, patients with nm-PMBLsig+ presented at an older age and did not show pleural disease, and bone/bone marrow involvement was observed in 3 cases. However, although clinically distinct from bf-PMBL, nm-PMBLsig+ tumors resembled bf-PMBL at the molecular level, with upregulation of immune response, JAK-STAT, and NF-κB signatures. Mutational analysis revealed frequent somatic gene mutations in SOCS1, IL4R, ITPKB, and STAT6, as well as CD83 and BIRC3, with the latter genes significantly more frequently affected than in GCB DLBCL or bf-PMBL. Our data establish nm-PMBLsig+ lymphomas as a group within DLBCL with distinct phenotypic and genetic features.

We sought to understand the biologic underpinnings of HGBL-DH/TH with BCL2 rearrangements (HGBL-DH/TH- BCL2) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) morphology through examination of gene expression. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We analyzed RNA sequencing data from 157 de novo germinal center B-cell-like (GCB)-DLBCLs, including 25 with HGBL-DH/TH- BCL2, to define a gene expression signature that distinguishes HGBL-DH/TH- BCL2 from other GCB-DLBCLs. To assess the genetic, molecular, and phenotypic features associated with this signature, we analyzed targeted resequencing, whole-exome sequencing, RNA sequencing, and immunohistochemistry data. RESULTS: We developed a 104-gene double-hit signature (DHITsig) that assigned 27\% of GCB-DLBCLs to the DHITsig-positive group, with only one half harboring MYC and BCL2 rearrangements (HGBL-DH/TH- BCL2). DHITsig-positive patients had inferior outcomes after rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone immunochemotherapy compared with DHITsig-negative patients (5-year time to progression rate, 57\% and 81\%, respectively; P {$<$} .001), irrespective of HGBL-DH/TH- BCL2 status. The prognostic value of DHITsig was confirmed in an independent validation cohort. DHITsig-positive tumors are biologically characterized by a putative non-light zone germinal center cell of origin and a distinct mutational landscape that comprises genes associated with chromatin modification. A new NanoString assay (DLBCL90) recapitulated the prognostic significance and RNA sequencing assignments. Validating the association with HGBL-DH/TH- BCL2, 11 of 25 DHITsig-positive-transformed follicular lymphomas were classified as HGBL-DH/TH- BCL2 compared with zero of 50 in the DHITsig-negative group. Furthermore, the DHITsig was shared with the majority of B-cell lymphomas with high-grade morphology tested. CONCLUSION: We have defined a clinically and biologically distinct subgroup of tumors within GCB-DLBCL characterized by a gene expression signature of HGBL-DH/TH- BCL2.

However, analysis of such sequence data can be complicated by the presence of normal cells in the tumor specimen, by intratumor heterogeneity, and by the sheer size of the raw data. In particular, determination of copy number variations from exome sequencing data alone has proven difficult; thus, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays have often been used for this task. Recently, algorithms to estimate absolute, but not allele-specific, copy number profiles from tumor sequencing data have been described. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We developed Sequenza, a software package that uses paired tumor-normal DNA sequencing data to estimate tumor cellularity and ploidy, and to calculate allele-specific copy number profiles and mutation profiles. We applied Sequenza, as well as two previously published algorithms, to exome sequence data from 30 tumors from The Cancer Genome Atlas. We assessed the performance of these algorithms by comparing their results with those generated using matched SNP arrays and processed by the allele-specific copy number analysis of tumors (ASCAT) algorithm. RESULTS: Comparison between Sequenza/exome and SNP/ASCAT revealed strong correlation in cellularity (Pearson's r = 0.90) and ploidy estimates (r = 0.42, or r = 0.94 after manual inspecting alternative solutions).

To identify biomarkers anticipating failure of intensive chemotherapy in mantle cell lymphoma, we performed target resequencing and DNA profiling of purified tumor samples collected from patients enrolled in the prospective FIL-MCL0208 phase III trial (high-dose chemoimmunotherapy followed by autologous transplantation and randomized lenalidomide maintenance). Mutations of KMT2D and disruption of TP53 by deletion or mutation associated with an increased risk of progression and death, both in univariate and multivariate analysis. By adding KMT2D mutations and TP53 disruption to the MIPI-c backbone, we derived a new prognostic index, the MIPI-genetic. The MIPI-g improved the model discrimination ability compared to the MIPI-c alone, defining three risk groups: i) low-risk patients (4-years progression free survival and overall survival of 72.0\% and 94.5\%); ii) intermediate-risk patients (4-years progression free survival and overall survival of 42.2\% and 65.8\%) and iii) high-risk patients (4-years progression free survival and overall survival of 11.5\% and 44.9\%). Our results: i) confirm that TP53 disruption identifies a high-risk population characterized by poor sensitivity to conventional or intensified chemotherapy; ii) provide the pivotal evidence that patients harboring KMT2D mutations share the same poor outcome as patients harboring TP53 disruption; and iii) allow to develop a tool for the identification of high-risk mantle cell lymphoma patients for whom novel therapeutic strategies need to be investigated.

To explain some of these activities, we have proposed that self-interactions between bound proteins create an RNA loop that represses internal splice sites while simultaneously activating the external sites that are brought in closer proximity. Here we show that a variety of hnRNP H binding sites can affect 5′ splice site selection. The addition of two sets of hnRNP H sites in a model pre-mRNA modulates 5′ splice site selection cooperatively, consistent with the looping model. Notably, binding sites for hnRNP A1 and H on the same pre-mRNA can similarly collaborate to modulate 5′ splice site selection. The C-terminal portion of hnRNP H that contains the glycine-rich domains (GRD) is essential for splicing activity, and it can be functionally replaced by the GRD of hnRNP A1. Finally, we used the bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) technology to document the existence of homotypic and heterotypic interactions between hnRNP H and hnRNP A1 in live cells.

We and others have previously shown that reduced hnRNP~K expression downmodulates tumor-suppressive programs. However, overexpression of hnRNP~K is the more commonly observed clinical phenomenon, yet its functional consequences and clinical significance remain unknown. Methods Clinical implications of hnRNP~K overexpression were examined through immunohistochemistry on samples from patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who did not harbor MYC alterations (n\,=\,75). A novel transgenic mouse model that overexpresses hnRNP~K specifically in B cells was generated to directly examine the role of hnRNP~K overexpression in mice (three transgenic lines). Molecular consequences of hnRNP~K overexpression were determined through proteomics, formaldehyde-RNA-immunoprecipitation sequencing, and biochemical assays. Therapeutic response to BET-bromodomain inhibition in the context of hnRNP~K overexpression was evaluated in vitro and in vivo (n\,=\,3 per group). All statistical tests were two-sided. Results hnRNP~K is overexpressed in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients without MYC genomic alterations. This overexpression is associated with dismal overall survival and progression-free survival (P\,{$<$}\,.001). Overexpression of hnRNP~K in transgenic mice resulted in the development of lymphomas and reduced survival (P\,{$<$}\,.001 for all transgenic lines; Line 171[n\,=\,30]: hazard ratio [HR]\,=\,64.23, 95\% confidence interval [CI]\,=\,26.1 to 158.0; Line 173 [n\,=\,31]: HR\,=\,25.27, 95\% CI\,=\,10.3 to 62.1; Line 177 [n\,=\,25]: HR\,=\,119.5, 95\% CI\,=\,42.7 to 334.2, compared with wild-type mice). Clinical samples, mouse models, global screening assays, and biochemical studies revealed that hnRNP~K’s oncogenic potential stems from its ability to posttranscriptionally and translationally regulate MYC. Consequently, Hnrnpk overexpression renders cells sensitive to BET-bromodomain-inhibition in both in vitro and transplantation models, which represents a strategy for mitigating hnRNP~K-mediated c-Myc activation in patients. Conclusion Our findings indicate that hnRNP~K is a bona fide oncogene when overexpressed and represents a novel mechanism for c-Myc activation in the absence of MYC lesions.}, pmcid = {PMC7489062} } @article{ganapathiGeneticLandscapeDural2016, title = {The Genetic Landscape of Dural Marginal Zone Lymphomas}, author = {Ganapathi, Karthik A. and Jobanputra, Vaidehi and Iwamoto, Fabio and Jain, Preti and Chen, Jinli and Cascione, Luciano and Nahum, Odelia and Levy, Brynn and Xie, Yi and Khattar, Pallavi and Hoehn, Daniela and Bertoni, Francesco and Murty, Vundavalli V. and Pittaluga, Stefania and Jaffe, Elaine S. and Alobeid, Bachir and Mansukhani, Mahesh M. and Bhagat, Govind}, date = {2016-05-27}, year = {2016}, journaltitle = {Oncotarget}, volume = {7}, number = {28}, pages = {43052--43061}, publisher = {Impact Journals}, issn = {1949-2553}, doi = {10.18632/oncotarget.9678}, abstract = {https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.9678 Karthik A.

Here, we provide evidence from transgenic mouse models that Crebbp deletion results in deficits in B-cell development and can cooperate with Bcl2 overexpression to promote B-cell lymphoma. Through transcriptional and epigenetic profiling of these B cells, we found that Crebbp inactivation was associated with broad transcriptional alterations, but no changes in the patterns of histone acetylation at the proximal regulatory regions of these genes. However, B cells with Crebbp inactivation showed high expression of Myc and patterns of altered histone acetylation that were localized to intragenic regions, enriched for Myc DNA binding motifs, and showed Myc binding. Through the analysis of CREBBP mutations from a large cohort of primary human FL and DLBCL, we show a significant difference in the spectrum of CREBBP mutations in these 2 diseases, with higher frequencies of nonsense/frameshift mutations in DLBCL compared with FL.

They also display mitochondrial dysfunction, elevated levels of γH2AX, are Annexin V positive and incorporate propidium iodide indicating that they undergo cell death. Lin-c-Kit+ fetal liver cells from hnRNP L deficient mice show high p53 protein levels and up-regulation of p53 target genes.

Initial investigation in a cohort of tumor samples showed large variations in HER2 variant expression between patient samples. RNA interference studies identified 2 splicing factors involved in the regulation of splicing within this region, hnRNP H1 and SRSF3. siRNA targeting hnRNP H1 increases levels of X5 and the oncogenic variant Δ16HER2. Furthermore RNA chromatography assays demonstrated binding of hnRNP H1 to RNA in this region. Additionally the proto-oncogene SRSF3 was also identified as an important regulator of splicing with SRSF3 knockdown resulting in changes in all the splice variants located at the hotspot. Most notably knockdown of SRSF3 resulted in a switch from the oncogenic Δ16HER2 to p100 which inhibits cell proliferation. Binding of SRSF3 to RNA within this region was also demonstrated by RNA chromatography and more specifically 2 SRSF3 binding sites were identified within exon 15.

High-dose immunochemotherapy constitutes the current therapeutic gold-standard, despite significant toxicity and serious late effects. Several hotspots harboring oncogenic gain-of-function mutations were recently shown to pose vital hallmarks in activated B-cell like (ABC-) (CD79B, CARD11 and MYD88) and germinal center like (GCB-) DLBCL (EZH2), respectively. Several promising targeted-therapy approaches, derived from these findings, are currently under development. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We thoroughly characterized a cohort of 25 untreated patients with de novo PMBL by immunohistochemical and cytogenetic means and assessed the prevalence of activating mutations affecting EZH2, CD79B and CARD11 utilizing a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based capillary sequencing approach. Moreover, the MYD88 p. L265P status was assessed by employing a pyrosequencing approach. RESULTS: PMBLs included in this study did not harbor any of the reported hotspot mutations activating the nuclear factor (NF)-kappa B signaling cascade or the EZH2-mediated epigenetic deregulation of gene expression. Immunohistochemical characterization revealed an ABC phenotype in 44\% (n=11) of cases.

We then identified several tumor suppressors and oncogenes that are regulated by HNRNPA2B1, among them are c-FLIP, BIN1, and WWOX, and the proto-oncogene RON. Knockdown of RON inhibited hnRNP A2/B1 mediated transformation, which implied that RON is one of the mediators of HNRNPA2B1 oncogenic activity. Together, our results indicate that HNRNPA2B1 is a novel oncogene in glioblastoma and a potential new target for glioblastoma therapy.}, langid = {english}, keywords = {Alternative Splicing,Animals,Brain Neoplasms,Cell Line Tumor,Cell Transformation Neoplastic,Gene Dosage,Gene Expression Regulation Neoplastic,Gene Knockdown Techniques,Genes Tumor Suppressor,Glioblastoma,Heterogeneous-Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein Group A-B,Humans,Mice,NIH 3T3 Cells,Receptor Protein-Tyrosine Kinases,Up-Regulation} } @article{gomezUltraDeepSequencingReveals2023, title = {Ultra-{{Deep Sequencing Reveals}} the {{Mutational Landscape}} of {{Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma}}}, author = {Gomez, Felicia and Fisk, Bryan and McMichael, Joshua F. and Mosior, Matthew and Foltz, Jennifer A. and Skidmore, Zachary L. and Duncavage, Eric J. and Miller, Christopher A. and Abel, Haley and Li, Yi-Shan and Russler-Germain, David A. and Krysiak, Kilannin and Watkins, Marcus P. and Ramirez, Cody A. and Schmidt, Alina and Martins Rodrigues, Fernanda and Trani, Lee and Khanna, Ajay and Wagner, Julia A. and Fulton, Robert S. and Fronick, Catrina C. and O'Laughlin, Michelle D. and Schappe, Timothy and Cashen, Amanda F. and Mehta-Shah, Neha and Kahl, Brad S. and Walker, Jason and Bartlett, Nancy L. and Griffith, Malachi and Fehniger, Todd A. and Griffith, Obi L.}, date = {2023-11-15}, journaltitle = {Cancer Research Communications}, shortjournal = {Cancer Res Commun}, volume = {3}, number = {11}, eprint = {37910143}, eprinttype = {pmid}, pages = {2312--2330}, issn = {2767-9764}, doi = {10.1158/2767-9764.CRC-23-0140}, abstract = {The malignant Hodgkin and Reed Sternberg (HRS) cells of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) are scarce in affected lymph nodes, creating a challenge to detect driver somatic mutations. As an alternative to cell purification techniques, we hypothesized that ultra-deep exome sequencing would allow genomic study of HRS cells, thereby streamlining analysis and avoiding technical pitfalls. To test this, 31 cHL tumor/normal pairs were exome sequenced to approximately 1,000× median depth of coverage. An orthogonal error-corrected sequencing approach verified {$>$}95\% of the discovered mutations. We identified mutations in genes novel to cHL including: CDH5 and PCDH7, novel stop gain mutations in IL4R, and a novel pattern of recurrent mutations in pathways regulating Hippo signaling. As a further application of our exome sequencing, we attempted to identify expressed somatic single-nucleotide variants (SNV) in single-nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) data generated from a patient in our cohort. Our snRNA analysis identified a clear cluster of cells containing a somatic SNV identified in our deep exome data. This cluster has differentially expressed genes that are consistent with genes known to be dysregulated in HRS cells (e.g., PIM1 and PIM3). The cluster also contains cells with an expanded B-cell clonotype further supporting a malignant phenotype. This study provides proof-of-principle that ultra-deep exome sequencing can be utilized to identify recurrent mutations in HRS cells and demonstrates the feasibility of snRNA-seq in the context of cHL. These studies provide the foundation for the further analysis of genomic variants in large cohorts of patients with cHL. SIGNIFICANCE: Our data demonstrate the utility of ultra-deep exome sequencing in uncovering somatic variants in Hodgkin lymphoma, creating new opportunities to define the genes that are recurrently mutated in this disease.

Moreover, Myc expression results in sustained increases in intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i), which is required for Myc to stimulate B cell proliferation and differentiation. The increase in [Ca2+]i correlates with constitutive nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) nuclear translocation, reduced Ca2+ efflux, and decreased expression of the plasma membrane Ca2+–adenosine triphosphatase (PMCA) efflux pump.

Although previous studies examining cohorts of rrDLBCL have identified features that are enriched at relapse, few have directly compared serial biopsies to uncover biological and evolutionary dynamics driving rrDLBCL. Here, we sought to confirm the relationship between relapse timing and outcomes after second-line (immuno)chemotherapy and determine the evolutionary dynamics that underpin that relationship. PATIENTS AND METHODS Outcomes were examined in a population-based cohort of 221 patients with DLBCL who experienced progression/relapse after frontline treatment and were treated with second-line (immuno)chemotherapy with an intention-to-treat with autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT). Serial DLBCL biopsies from a partially overlapping cohort of 129 patients underwent molecular characterization, including whole-genome or whole-exome sequencing in 73 patients. RESULTS Outcomes to second-line therapy and ASCT are superior for late relapse ({$>$}2 years postdiagnosis) versus primary refractory ({$<$}9 months) or early relapse (9-24 months). Diagnostic and relapse biopsies were mostly concordant for cell-of-origin classification and genetics-based subgroup. Despite this concordance, the number of mutations exclusive to each biopsy increased with time since diagnosis, and late relapses shared few mutations with their diagnostic counterpart, demonstrating a branching evolution pattern. In patients with highly divergent tumors, many of the same genes acquired new mutations independently in each tumor, suggesting that the earliest mutations in a shared precursor cell constrain tumor evolution toward the same genetics-based subgroups at both diagnosis and relapse. CONCLUSION These results suggest that late relapses commonly represent genetically distinct and chemotherapy-naïve disease and have implications for optimal patient management.}, keywords = {Morinlab} } @article{hirtRiskFollicularLymphoma2015, title = {Risk of Follicular Lymphoma Associated with {{BCL2}} Translocations in Peripheral Blood}, author = {Hirt, Carsten and Camargo, M.

Herein we describe a selective and irreversible Btk inhibitor, PCI-32765, that is currently under clinical development in patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. We have used this inhibitor to investigate the biologic effects of Btk inhibition on mature B-cell function and the progression of B cell-associated diseases in vivo. PCI-32765 blocked BCR signaling in human peripheral B cells at concentrations that did not affect T cell receptor signaling. In mice with collagen-induced arthritis, orally administered PCI-32765 reduced the level of circulating autoantibodies and completely suppressed disease. PCI-32765 also inhibited autoantibody production and the development of kidney disease in the MRL-Fas(lpr) lupus model. Occupancy of the Btk active site by PCI-32765 was monitored in vitro and in vivo using a fluorescent affinity probe for Btk. Active site occupancy of Btk was tightly correlated with the blockade of BCR signaling and in vivo efficacy. Finally, PCI-32765 induced objective clinical responses in dogs with spontaneous B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Generally, hnRNP F is broadly expressed in many tissues with extremely strong expression in the prostate gland while hnRNP H/H' shows a more restricted degree of expression with low expression in some tissues, for example, liver, exocrine acini of the pancreas, thyroid gland and heart. At the cellular level, hnRNP F is, with few exceptions, predominantly expressed in the cytoplasm while hnRNP H/H' is more abundant in the nuclei. A quite pronounced heterogeneous expression pattern is seen in the proximal tubules of the kidney where hnRNP F is present at moderate cytoplasmic levels while hnRNP H/H' is undetectable, whereas both proteins are more evenly expressed in distal tubules and collecting ducts. Generally, tumor tissues reveal a broad expression of hnRNP F in the nuclei as well as in the cytoplasm while hnRNP H/H' is expressed at higher levels in the nuclei than in the cytoplasm. Up-regulation of hnRNP H/H' is found in a few tissues that normally express low cytoplasmic levels of hnRNP H/H', for example, adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, hepatocellular carcinoma and gastric carcinoma. hnRNP F is down-regulated in hepatocellular carcinoma and up-regulated in gastric carcinoma.

By performing whole genome and transcriptome sequencing of 181 germinal center derived B-cell lymphomas (gcBCL) we identified distinct mutational signatures linked to SHM and CSR. We show that not only SHM, but presumably also CSR causes off-target mutations in non-IG genes. Kataegis clusters with high mutational density mainly affected early replicating regions and were enriched for SHM- and CSR-mediated off-target mutations. Moreover, they often co-occurred in loci physically interacting in the nucleus, suggesting that mutation hotspots promote increased mutation targeting of spatially co-localized loci (termed hypermutation by proxy). Only around 1\% of somatic small variants were in protein coding sequences, but in about half of the driver genes, a contribution of B-cell specific mutational processes to their mutations was found. The B-cell-specific mutational processes contribute to both lymphoma initiation and intratumoral heterogeneity.

Stimulation by forskolin increased cytoplasmic localization of PCBP1 and PCBP1/MOR 3'-UTR interactions via increased serine phosphorylation that was blocked by protein kinase A (PKA) or (phosphatidyl inositol-3) PI3-kinase inhibitors.

The introduction of amino acid substitutions in the PCBP1 abolishes this, resulting in the failure of PARP-1 cleavage. Human cells appear to possess a mechanism to induce cell death when their messenger RNAs are severely damaged. This mechanism might be related to the accumulation of abnormal proteins in long-lived cells, such as those in the nervous system., In aerobically growing cells, the guanine base of RNA is oxidized to 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG), which induces alteration in their gene expression. We previously demonstrated that the human AUF1 protein binds to 8-oxoG in RNA to induce the selective degradation of oxidized messenger RNA. We herein report that the poly(C)-binding protein PCBP1 binds to more severely oxidized RNA to activate apoptosis-related reactions. While AUF1 binds to oligoribonucleotides carrying a single 8-oxoG, PCBP1 does not bind to such oligoribonucleotides but instead binds firmly to oligoribonucleotides in which two 8-oxoG residues are located nearby. PCBP1-deficient cells, constructed from the human HeLa S3 line using the CRISPR-Cas9 system, exhibited higher survival rates than HeLa S3 cells when small doses of hydrogen peroxide were applied. The levels of caspase-3 activation and PARP-1 cleavage in the PCBP1-deficient cells were significantly lower than those in wild-type cells. The structure–function relationship of PCBP1 was established with the use of PCBP1 mutant proteins in which the conserved KH domains were defective.

The XPO1 mutational status was also assessed in DLBCL, Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and mediastinal gray-zone lymphoma (MGZL).The biological impact of the mutation on Selective Inhibitor of Nuclear Export (SINE) compounds (KPT-185/330) sensitivity was investigated in vitro. XPO1 mutations were present in 28/117 (24\%) PMBL cases and in 5/19 (26\%) HL cases but absent/rare in MGZL (0/20) or DLBCL (3/197). A higher prevalence (50\%) of the recurrent codon 571 variant (p.E571K) was observed in GEP-defined PMBL and was associated with shorter PFS. Age, International Prognostic Index and bulky mass were similar in XPO1 mutant and wild-type cases. KPT-185 induced a dose-dependent decrease in cell proliferation and increased cell-death in PMBL cell lines harboring wild type or XPO1 E571K mutant alleles.

Alternatively, the breakpoint may flank c-myc, leaving the gene grossly intact. In these latter cases, mutation, which may be extensive, is usually seen within c-myc, specifically at or near the same key regulatory sequences. The precise contribution of these mutations to c-myc deregulation is gradually being clarified. The mechanisms underlying c-myc mutations are not known.

Given these differences and the variable clinical presentation and outcomes, we sought to further understand pathogenesis by investigating transcriptomes using RNA sequencing (RNAseq) from multiple primary eBL tumors compared with sBL tumors. Within eBL tumors, minimal expression differences were found based on: anatomical presentation site, in-hospital survival rates, and EBV genome type, suggesting that eBL tumors are homogeneous without marked subtypes. The outstanding difference detected using surrogate variable analysis was the significantly decreased expression of key genes in the immunoproteasome complex (PSMB9/β1i, PSMB10/β2i, PSMB8/β5i, and PSME2/PA28β) in eBL tumors carrying type 2 EBV compared with type 1 EBV. Second, in comparison with previously published pediatric sBL specimens, the majority of the expression and pathway differences was related to the PTEN/PI3K/mTOR signaling pathway and was correlated most strongly with EBV status rather than geographic designation. Third, common mutations were observed significantly less frequently in eBL tumors harboring EBV type 1, with mutation frequencies similar between tumors with EBV type 2 and without EBV. In addition to the previously reported genes, a set of new genes mutated in BL, including TFAP4, MSH6, PRRC2C, BCL7A, FOXO1, PLCG2, PRKDC, RAD50, and RPRD2, were identified. Overall, these data establish that EBV, particularly EBV type 1, supports BL oncogenesis, alleviating the need for certain driver mutations in the human genome.Implications: Genomic and mutational analyses of Burkitt lymphoma tumors identify key differences based on viral content and clinical outcomes suggesting new avenues for the development of prognostic molecular biomarkers and therapeutic interventions.

Therefore, the equilibrium is crucial for neuronal function. An association study of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP)-F and hnRNP H1 with APP was carried out in Neuro-2a (N2a) cells. In the present study, we found that hnRNP F and hnRNP H1 were significantly upregulated in the hippocampus of APP/PS1 mice. The changes in APP expression were positively associated with hnRNP F and hnRNP H1 when hnRNP F and hnRNP H1 were depleted or increased in N2a cells. Importantly, cross-linked RNA immunoprecipitation demonstrated binding affinities of hnRNP F and hnRNP H1 for App mRNA. Mechanistically, mRNA stability assay revealed that overexpression of hnRNP F or hnRNP H1 increases the APP level by stabilizing App mRNA half-life, implying that levels of hnRNP F and hnRNP H1 can change the production of APP. Further understanding of the regulatory mechanism of APP expression in association with hnRNP F and hnRNP H1 would provide insights into the mechanism underlying the maintenance of brain health and cognition.

Recent data support the dynamic nature of G4 formation in the transcriptome. Such dynamic fluctuation of rG4 folding-unfolding underpins the biological significance of these structures in the regulation of RNA metabolism. Moreover, rG4-mediated functions may ultimately be connected to mechanisms underlying disease pathologies and, potentially, provide novel options for therapeutics.

Furthermore, the circadian regulation of m Per3 mRNA stability requires the cooperative function of 5′- and 3′-untranslated regions (UTRs). Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein Q (hnRNP Q) binds to both 5′- and 3′-UTR and triggers enhancement of translation and acceleration of mRNA decay.

These genetic alterations are hypothesized to confer an oncogenic dependency on EZH2 enzymatic activity in these cancers. We have previously reported the discovery of EPZ005678 and EPZ-6438, potent and selective S-adenosyl-methionine-competitive small molecule inhibitors of EZH2. Although both compounds are similar with respect to their mechanism of action and selectivity, EPZ-6438 possesses superior potency and drug-like properties, including good oral bioavailability in animals. Here, we characterize the activity of EPZ-6438 in preclinical models of NHL. EPZ-6438 selectively inhibits intracellular lysine 27 of histone H3 (H3K27) methylation in a concentration- and time-dependent manner in both EZH2 wild-type and mutant lymphoma cells. Inhibition of H3K27 trimethylation (H3K27Me3) leads to selective cell killing of human lymphoma cell lines bearing EZH2 catalytic domain point mutations. Treatment of EZH2-mutant NHL xenograft-bearing mice with EPZ-6438 causes dose-dependent tumor growth inhibition, including complete and sustained tumor regressions with correlative diminution of H3K27Me3 levels in tumors and selected normal tissues. Mice dosed orally with EPZ-6438 for 28 days remained tumor free for up to 63 days after stopping compound treatment in two EZH2-mutant xenograft models. These data confirm the dependency of EZH2-mutant NHL on EZH2 activity and portend the utility of EPZ-6438 as a potential treatment for these genetically defined cancers.

A subset of patients experience an increased mortality rate driven by two distinct clinical end points: histological transformation and early progression after immunochemotherapy. The nature of tumor clonal dynamics leading to these clinical end points is poorly understood, and previously determined genetic alterations do not explain the majority of transformed cases or accurately predict early progressive disease. We contend that detailed knowledge of the expansion patterns of specific cell populations plus their associated mutations would provide insight into therapeutic strategies and disease biology over the time course of FL clinical histories. METHODS AND FINDINGS: Using a combination of whole genome sequencing, targeted deep sequencing, and digital droplet PCR on matched diagnostic and relapse specimens, we deciphered the constituent clonal populations in 15 transformation cases and 6 progression cases, and measured the change in clonal population abundance over time. We observed widely divergent patterns of clonal dynamics in transformed cases relative to progressed cases. Transformation specimens were generally composed of clones that were rare or absent in diagnostic specimens, consistent with dramatic clonal expansions that came to dominate the transformation specimens. This pattern was independent of time to transformation and treatment modality. By contrast, early progression specimens were composed of clones that were already present in the diagnostic specimens and exhibited only moderate clonal dynamics, even in the presence of immunochemotherapy. Analysis of somatic mutations impacting 94 genes was undertaken in an extension cohort consisting of 395 samples from 277 patients in order to decipher disrupted biology in the two clinical end points. We found 12 genes that were more commonly mutated in transformed samples than in the preceding FL tumors, including TP53, B2M, CCND3, GNA13, S1PR2, and P2RY8. Moreover, ten genes were more commonly mutated in diagnostic specimens of patients with early progression, including TP53, BTG1, MKI67, and XBP1. CONCLUSIONS: Our results illuminate contrasting modes of evolution shaping the clinical histories of transformation and progression. They have implications for interpretation of evolutionary dynamics in the context of treatment-induced selective pressures, and indicate that transformation and progression will require different clinical management strategies.}, langid = {english}, pmcid = {PMC5154502}, keywords = {Clonal Evolution,Clone Cells,Disease Progression,Humans,Lymphoma Follicular,Mutation} } @article{kridelWholeTranscriptomeSequencing2012, title = {Whole Transcriptome Sequencing Reveals Recurrent {{NOTCH1}} Mutations in Mantle Cell Lymphoma}, author = {Kridel, Robert and Meissner, Barbara and Rogic, Sanja and Boyle, Merrill and Telenius, Adele and Woolcock, Bruce and Gunawardana, Jay and Jenkins, Christopher and Cochrane, Chris and Ben-Neriah, Susana and Tan, King and Morin, Ryan D. and Opat, Stephen and Sehn, Laurie H. and Connors, Joseph M. and Marra, Marco A. and Weng, Andrew P. and Steidl, Christian and Gascoyne, Randy D.}, date = {2012-03-01}, journaltitle = {Blood}, shortjournal = {Blood}, volume = {119}, number = {9}, eprint = {22210878}, eprinttype = {pmid}, pages = {1963--1971}, issn = {1528-0020}, doi = {10.1182/blood-2011-11-391474}, abstract = {Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), an aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, is characterized by the hallmark translocation t(11;14)(q13;q32) and the resulting overexpression of cyclin D1 (CCND1).

Further analysis now showed that miR-142 was mutated in 11 (19.64\%) of the 56 DLBCL cases. Of these, one case had a mutation in both alleles, with the remainder being heterozygous. Four mutations were found in the mature miR-142-5p, four in the mature miR-142-3p, and three mutations affected the miR-142 precursor. Two mutations in the seed sequence redirected miR-142-3p to the mRNA of the transcriptional repressor ZEB2 and one of them also targeted the ZEB1 mRNA. However, the other mutations in the mature miR-142-3p did not influence either the ZEB1 or ZEB2 3' untranslated region (3' UTR). On the other hand, the mutations affecting the seed sequence of miR-142-3p resulted in a loss of responsiveness in the 3' UTR of the known miR-142-3p targets RAC1 and ADCY9. In contrast to the mouse p300 gene, the human p300 gene was not found to be a target for miR-142-5p. In one case with a mutation of the precursor, we observed aberrant processing of the miR-142-5p.

Previous small studies have demonstrated deleterious mutations of NFKBIA, the gene encoding IkappaB alpha, in HRS cells. In the present study, we aimed to establish the frequency of NFKBIA mutation in cHL by investigating a larger series of cases and to determine whether these mutations are a characteristic feature of non-EBV-associated cHL. Single HRS cells from 20 cases of cHL were analysed by PCRs covering all 6 exons of the gene. Clonal deleterious mutations were detected in 3 cases and in 1 case both alleles of the gene were shown to harbour mutations.

Splicing factor hnRNPH, which is upregulated in gliomas, controls this splicing event and similarly mediates switching to a ligand-independent, constitutively active Recepteur d?Origine Nantais (RON) tyrosine kinase receptor variant that promotes migration and invasion. The increased cell death and the reduced invasiveness caused by hnRNPH ablation can be rescued by the targeted downregulation of IG20/MADD exon 16- or RON exon 11-containing variants, respectively, using isoform-specific knockdown or splicing redirection approaches. Thus, hnRNPH activity appears to be involved in the pathogenesis and progression of malignant gliomas as the centre of a splicing oncogenic switch, which might reflect reactivation of stem cell patterns and mediates multiple key aspects of aggressive tumour behaviour, including evasion from apoptosis and invasiveness.}, keywords = {antisense,cancer,FSD-NMD,hnRNPH,MADD,RON,splicing} } @article{leiCancerMutationD83V2018, title = {The {{Cancer Mutation D83V Induces}} an α-{{Helix}} to β-{{Strand Conformation Switch}} in {{MEF2B}}}, author = {Lei, Xiao and Kou, Yi and Fu, Yang and Rajashekar, Niroop and Shi, Haoran and Wu, Fang and Xu, Jiang and Luo, Yibing and Chen, Lin}, date = {2018-04-13}, journaltitle = {Journal of Molecular Biology}, shortjournal = {J.

To investigate whether these DLBCL subtypes arise by distinct pathogenetic mechanisms, we analyzed 203 DLBCL biopsy samples by high-resolution, genome-wide copy number analysis coupled with gene-expression profiling. Of 272 recurrent chromosomal aberrations that were associated with gene-expression alterations, 30 were used differentially by the DLBCL subtypes (P {$<$} 0.006). An amplicon on chromosome 19 was detected in 26\% of ABC DLBCLs but in only 3\% of GCB DLBCLs and PMBLs. A highly up-regulated gene in this amplicon was SPIB, which encodes an ETS family transcription factor. Knockdown of SPIB by RNA interference was toxic to ABC DLBCL cell lines but not to GCB DLBCL, PMBL, or myeloma cell lines, strongly implicating SPIB as an oncogene involved in the pathogenesis of ABC DLBCL. Deletion of the INK4a/ARF tumor suppressor locus and trisomy 3 also occurred almost exclusively in ABC DLBCLs and was associated with inferior outcome within this subtype. FOXP1 emerged as a potential oncogene in ABC DLBCL that was up-regulated by trisomy 3 and by more focal high-level amplifications. In GCB DLBCL, amplification of the oncogenic mir-17-92 microRNA cluster and deletion of the tumor suppressor PTEN were recurrent, but these events did not occur in ABC DLBCL.

METHODS: We profiled gene expression in pretreatment biopsy specimens from 181 patients with diffuse large-B-cell lymphoma who received CHOP and 233 patients with this disease who received R-CHOP. A multivariate gene-expression-based survival-predictor model derived from a training group was tested in a validation group. RESULTS: A multivariate model created from three gene-expression signatures--termed "germinal-center B-cell," "stromal-1," and "stromal-2"--predicted survival both in patients who received CHOP and patients who received R-CHOP. The prognostically favorable stromal-1 signature reflected extracellular-matrix deposition and histiocytic infiltration.

Surprisingly, we find that genes that were retained as duplicates after the teleost-specific whole-genome duplication 320 million years ago were not more likely to be retained after the Ss4R, and that the duplicate retention was not influenced to a great extent by the nature of the predicted protein interactions of the gene products. Finally, we demonstrate that the Atlantic salmon assembly can serve as a reference sequence for the study of other salmonids for a range of purposes.}, langid = {english}, keywords = {Animals,Diploidy,DNA Transposable Elements,Evolution Molecular,Female,Gene Duplication,Genes Duplicate,Genome,Genomics,Male,Models Genetic,Mutagenesis,Phylogeny,Reference Standards,Salmo salar,Sequence Homology} } @article{lindenblattIkBzExpressionRegulated2014, title = {{{IκBζ}} Expression Is Regulated by {{miR-124a}}}, author = {Lindenblatt, Charlotte and Schulze-Osthoff, Klaus and Totzke, Gudrun}, date = {2014-10}, journaltitle = {Cell Cycle (Georgetown, Tex.)}, volume = {8}, number = {13}, pages = {2019--2023} } @article{linNovelNucleocytoplasmicShuttling2006, title = {A Novel Nucleocytoplasmic Shuttling Sequence of {{DAZAP1}}, a Testis-Abundant {{RNA-binding}} Protein}, author = {Lin, Yi-Tzu and Yen, Pauline H.}, date = {2006-08}, journaltitle = {RNA (New York, N.Y.)}, shortjournal = {RNA}, volume = {12}, number = {8}, eprint = {16772659}, eprinttype = {pmid}, pages = {1486--1493}, issn = {1355-8382}, doi = {10.1261/rna.42206}, abstract = {Deleted in Azoospermia Associated Protein 1 (DAZAP1) is a ubiquitous RNA-binding protein highly expressed in the human and the mouse testes. It shows a dynamic subcellular localization during spermatogenesis, present predominantly in the nuclei of late-stage spermatocytes and round spermatids and translocated to the cytoplasm during spermatid elongation. To test the hypothesis that DAZAP1 shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm, we studied the nuclear transport of DAZAP1 in somatic cells using immunostaining, heterokaryon formation, and mutagenesis. DAZAP1 is detected exclusively in the nucleus and has the ability to shuttle between the nucleus and the cytoplasm using a highly conserved 25 amino acid segment, designated ZNS, at its C terminus. ZNS shares no sequence homology with other known nuclear localization or export signals. Attachment of ZNS to a red fluorescent protein DsRed2 confers the nucleocytoplasmic shuttling ability to that protein. The nuclear localization of DAZAP1 depends on active transcription. In the presence of an RNA polymerase II inhibitor, DAZAP1 is retained in the cytoplasm. DAZAP1 colocalizes with hnRNP A1 and hnRNP C1 in the nucleus and is a component of the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles. Our results suggest that DAZAP1 plays a key role in mRNA transport during spermatogenesis.}, langid = {english}, pmcid = {PMC1524892}, keywords = {3T3 Cells,Active Transport Cell Nucleus,Amino Acid Sequence,Animals,Cell Line,Cell Nucleus,Cercopithecus aethiops,Conserved Sequence,COS Cells,Cytoplasm,Dactinomycin,HeLa Cells,Heterogeneous Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein A1,Heterogeneous-Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein Group A-B,Heterogeneous-Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein Group C,Humans,Male,Mice,Molecular Sequence Data,Mutagenesis Site-Directed,Mutation,Nuclear Localization Signals,Recombinant Fusion Proteins,RNA-Binding Proteins,Testis,Transcription Genetic} } @article{liPolyRCBinding, title = {Poly({{rC}}) {{Binding Protein}} 1 {{Represses}} the {{Translation}} of {{STAT3}} through 5' {{UTR}}}, author = {Li, Ziwei and Wang, Xiaole and Jia, Rong}, journaltitle = {Current Gene Therapy}, volume = {22}, number = {5}, pages = {397--405}, url = {https://benthamscience.com/article/123400}, urldate = {2022-09-28}, abstract = {Background: Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is an oncogene and frequently overexpressed in cancers. However, the regulatory mechanisms of STAT3 expression are not fully understood. Poly(rC)-binding protein1 (PCBP1) is an RNA-binding protein that regulates mRNA stability, splicing, and translation. PCBP1 is a tumor suppressor and can inhibit the translation of several oncogenic genes. Objective: We aimed to understand the regulatory mechanisms of STAT3 expression. Methods: The 5' UTR or 3’ UTR regions of the human STAT3 gene were inserted upstream or downstream of the green fluorescent gene (GFP), respectively, which were used as reporter systems to analyze the inhibitory effects of PCBP1 on the STAT3 gene expression. The deletion and point mutation in 5' UTR were used to search the essential regulatory sequences of the translation inhibition. The mutations of PCBP1 protein were analyzed in the cBioPortal online service. The effects of mutated PCBP1 proteins on STAT3 expression, cancer cell proliferation, and colony formation were analyzed in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell lines. Results: PCBP1 inhibits mRNA translation through a motif in the 5' UTR of STAT3. Moreover, we found two leucine residues (Leu100 and Leu102) of PCBP1 protein frequently mutated in cancers. These mutations abolished the inhibition function of PCBP1 on STAT3 translation. Surprisingly, in contrast to wild-type PCBP1 protein, these mutations can promote the growth and colony formation of cancer cells. Conclusion: Overall, we demonstrate that PCBP1 can inhibit the expression of STAT3 through its 5' UTR, and two leucine residues of PCBP1 protein are essential for its functions.}, langid = {english} } @article{liuGerminalCenterCells1991, title = {Germinal Center Cells Express Bcl-2 Protein after Activation by Signals Which Prevent Their Entry into Apoptosis}, author = {Liu, Y.

Isolated germinal center B cells in culture kill themselves by apoptosis but this is prevented if their receptors for antigen are cross-linked. In this study it is confirmed that almost all germinal center B cells, unlike other B cells, do not express the 25-kDa protein encoded by the bcl-2 oncogene. Cross-linking the surface Ig of isolated germinal center cells causes them to express bcl-2 protein. Two other stimuli which inhibit the entry of germinal center cells to apoptosis result in the expression of bcl-2 protein. These stimuli are: (a) CD40 antibody and (b) recombinant 25-kDa fragment of the CD23 protein plus recombinant interleukin 1 alpha. Respectively, these induce germinal center cells to differentiate to resting B cells or plasmablasts. Dual-fluorescence studies on small lymphocytes confirm the presence of bcl-2 protein in mitochondria but show that this is also present in other extra-nuclear areas. Burkitt lymphoma cells have a phenotype which indicates that they are neoplastic cells of germinal center origin. The expression of bcl-2 protein by Burkitt lymphoma lines was also studied. Burkitt lines which retain the phenotype of fresh Burkitt lymphoma cells can be induced to enter apoptosis on culture with the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin. These cells were found not to express bcl-2 protein. By contrast, Burkitt lines which have drifted towards a lymphoblastoid cell line phenotype and are resistant to the induction of apoptosis express high levels of the bcl-2 protein. The findings support the concept that the susceptibility of germinal center cells to entering apoptosis is associated with their lack of expression of bcl-2 protein.

We also identified somatic mutations in genes for which a functional role in DLBCL has not been previously suspected. These genes include MEF2B, MLL2, BTG1, GNA13, ACTB, P2RY8, PCLO, and TNFRSF14. Further, we show that BCL2 mutations commonly occur in patients with BCL2/IgH rearrangements as a result of somatic hypermutation normally occurring at the IgH locus. The BCL2 point mutations are primarily synonymous, and likely caused by activation-induced cytidine deaminase-mediated somatic hypermutation, as shown by comprehensive analysis of enrichment of mutations in WRCY target motifs. Those nonsynonymous mutations that are observed tend to be found outside of the functionally important BH domains of the protein, suggesting that strong negative selection against BCL2 loss-of-function mutations is at play. Last, by using an algorithm designed to identify likely functionally relevant but infrequent mutations, we identify KRAS, BRAF, and NOTCH1 as likely drivers of DLBCL pathogenesis in some patients.

To define the genetic landscape of PTNFL, we performed copy number analysis and exome and/or targeted sequencing of 26 PTNFLs (16 pediatric and 10 adult). The most commonly mutated gene in PTNFL was MAP2K1, encoding MEK1, with a mutation frequency of 43\%. All MAP2K1 mutations were activating missense mutations localized to exons 2 and 3, which encode negative regulatory and catalytic domains, respectively. Missense mutations in MAPK1 (2/22) and RRAS (1/22) were identified in cases that lacked MAP2K1 mutations. The second most commonly mutated gene in PTNFL was TNFRSF14, with a mutation frequency of 29\%, similar to that seen in limited-stage typical FL (P = .35). PTNFL was otherwise genomically bland and specifically lacked recurrent mutations in epigenetic modifiers (eg, CREBBP, KMT2D). Copy number aberrations affected a mean of only 0.5\% of PTNFL genomes, compared with 10\% of limited-stage typical FL genomes (P {$<$} .02).

Off-target effects of immunological diversification accounted for approximately half of the additional differentiation-associated mutations in lymphocytes. Memory B cells acquired, on average, 18 off-target mutations genome-wide for every on-target IGHV mutation during the germinal centre reaction. Structural variation was 16-fold higher in lymphocytes than in stem cells, with around 15\% of deletions being attributable to off-target recombinase-activating gene activity. DNA damage from ultraviolet light exposure and other sporadic mutational processes generated hundreds to thousands of mutations in some memory cells. The mutation burden and signatures of normal B cells were broadly similar to those seen in many B-cell cancers, suggesting that malignant transformation of lymphocytes arises from the same mutational processes that are active across normal ontogeny. The mutational landscape of normal lymphocytes chronicles the off-target effects of programmed genome engineering during immunological diversification and the consequences of differentiation, proliferation and residency in diverse microenvironments.}, langid = {english}, pmcid = {PMC9402440}, keywords = {B-Lymphocytes,Cell Differentiation,Cell Proliferation,Cellular Microenvironment,DNA Damage,Germinal Center,Humans,Immunologic Memory,Lymphocytes,Mutation,Neoplasms} } @article{machadoEvolutionaryHistoryCopyNumberVariable2012, title = {Evolutionary {{History}} of {{Copy-Number-Variable Locus}} for the {{Low-Affinity Fcγ Receptor}}: {{Mutation Rate}}, {{Autoimmune Disease}}, and the {{Legacy}} of {{Helminth Infection}}}, author = {Machado, Lee R. and Hardwick, Robert J. and Bowdrey, Jennifer and Bogle, Helen and Knowles, Timothy J. and Sironi, Manuela and Hollox, Edward J.}, date = {2012-12}, journaltitle = {The American Journal of Human Genetics}, volume = {90}, number = {6}, eprint = {22608500}, eprinttype = {pmid}, pages = {973--985}, issn = {0002-9297}, doi = {10.1016/j.ajhg.2012.04.018}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ajhg.2012.04.018}, abstract = {Both sequence variation and copy-number variation (CNV) of the genes encoding receptors for immunoglobulin G (Fcγ receptors) have been genetically and functionally associated with a number of autoimmune diseases. However, the molecular nature and evolutionary context of this variation is unknown. Here, we describe the structure of the CNV, estimate its mutation rate and diversity, and place it in the context of the known functional alloantigen variation of these genes. Deletion of Fcγ receptor IIIB, associated with systemic lupus erythematosus, is a result of independent nonallelic homologous recombination events with a frequency of approximately 0.1\%. We also show that pathogen diversity, in particular helminth diversity, has played a critical role in shaping the functional variation at these genes both between mammalian species and between human populations. Positively selected amino acids are involved in the interaction with IgG and include some amino acids that are known polymorphic alloantigens in humans. This supports a genetic contribution to the hygiene hypothesis, which states that past evolution in the context of helminth diversity has left humans with an array of susceptibility alleles for autoimmune disease in the context of a helminth-free environment. This approach shows the link between pathogens and autoimmune disease at the genetic level and provides a strategy for interrogating the genetic variation underlying autoimmune-disease risk and infectious-disease susceptibility.} } @article{maddocksIbrutinibBcellLymphomas2014, title = {Ibrutinib in {{B-cell Lymphomas}}.}, author = {Maddocks, Kami and Blum, Kristie A}, date = {2014-06}, journaltitle = {Current treatment options in oncology}, volume = {15}, number = {2}, pages = {226--237} } @article{maddocksUpdateMantleCell2018, title = {Update on Mantle Cell Lymphoma}, author = {Maddocks, Kami}, date = {2018-10-18}, journaltitle = {Blood}, shortjournal = {Blood}, volume = {132}, number = {16}, eprint = {30154113}, eprinttype = {pmid}, pages = {1647--1656}, issn = {1528-0020}, doi = {10.1182/blood-2018-03-791392}, abstract = {Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that is most commonly treated with combination chemo-immunotherapy at diagnosis because of the poor prognosis.

The 2016 World Health Organization updated classification describes 2 major subtypes, classical and leukemic nonnodal MCL, each with unique molecular features and clinical presentations. Although there is no standard of care for MCL, aggressive chemo-immunotherapy regimens containing rituximab and cytarabine, followed by consolidation with autologous stem cell transplantation and maintenance rituximab, are the most used approach in young fit patients, and chemo-immunotherapy, followed by rituximab maintenance, is most commonly used in older patients. Despite the improvement in response durations with currently available therapies, patients will inevitably relapse. A number of targeted therapies are approved in the relapsed setting and are now under evaluation in combination with standard frontline therapy. Although the approval of ibrutinib changed the landscape of therapy for relapsed MCL, prognosis remains poor after progression on ibrutinib supporting the development of ibrutinib combinations to prolong response duration as well as the development of other novel agents for ibrutinib refractory disease. With ibrutinib being incorporated into initial therapy regimens, new options will be needed at relapse. Prognostic markers, such as minimal residual disease, have been shown to correlate independently with outcomes along with predicting relapse, with the potential to guide therapeutic decisions.

The role of nuclear-enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1), an essential lncRNA for the formation of nuclear body paraspeckles, has not been fully explored in HCC. We aimed to determine the expression, roles and functional mechanisms of NEAT1 in the proliferation and invasion of HCC. Based on real-time polymerase chain reaction data, we suggest that NEAT1 is upregulated in HCC tissues compared with noncancerous liver tissues. The knockdown of NEAT1 altered global gene expression patterns and reduced HCC cell proliferation, invasion and migration. RNA immunoprecipitation and RNA pull-down assays confirmed that U2AF65 binds to NEAT1. Furthermore, the study indicated that NEAT1 regulated hnRNP A2 expression and that this regulation may be associated with the NEAT1\–U2AF65 protein complex. Thus, the NEAT1-hnRNP A2 regulation mechanism promotes HCC pathogenesis and may provide a potential target for the prognosis and treatment of HCC.

We identified 32 tagged proteins that required RNA for their localization in distinct nuclear foci. Among them, seven RNA-binding proteins commonly localized in the Sam68 nuclear body (SNB), which was disrupted by RNase treatment. Knockdown of each SNB protein revealed that SNBs are composed of two distinct RNase-sensitive substructures. One substructure is present as a distinct NB, termed the DBC1 body, in certain conditions, and the more dynamic substructure including Sam68 joins to form the intact SNB. HNRNPL acts as the adaptor to combine the two substructures and form the intact SNB through the interaction of two sets of RNA recognition motifs with the putative arcRNAs in the respective substructures.} } @article{mansouriFrequentNFKBIEDeletions2016, title = {Frequent {{NFKBIE}} Deletions Are Associated with Poor Outcome in Primary Mediastinal {{B-cell}} Lymphoma}, author = {Mansouri, Larry and Noerenberg, Daniel and Young, Emma and Mylonas, Elena and Abdulla, Maysaa and Frick, Mareike and Asmar, Fazila and Ljungström, Viktor and Schneider, Markus and Yoshida, Kenichi and Skaftason, Aron and Pandzic, Tatjana and Gonzalez, Blanca and Tasidou, Anna and Waldhueter, Nils and Rivas-Delgado, Alfredo and Angelopoulou, Maria and Ziepert, Marita and Arends, Christopher Maximilian and Couronné, Lucile and Lenze, Dido and Baldus, Claudia D. and Bastard, Christian and Okosun, Jessica and Fitzgibbon, Jude and Dörken, Bernd and Drexler, Hans G. and Roos-Weil, Damien and Schmitt, Clemens A. and Munch-Petersen, Helga D. and Zenz, Thorsten and Hansmann, Martin-Leo and Strefford, Jonathan C. and Enblad, Gunilla and Bernard, Olivier A. and Ralfkiaer, Elisabeth and Erlanson, Martin and Korkolopoulou, Penelope and Hultdin, Magnus and Papadaki, Theodora and Grønbæk, Kirsten and Lopez-Guillermo, Armando and Ogawa, Seishi and Küppers, Ralf and Stamatopoulos, Kostas and Stavroyianni, Niki and Kanellis, George and Rosenwald, Andreas and Campo, Elias and Amini, Rose-Marie and Ott, German and Vassilakopoulos, Theodoros P. and Hummel, Michael and Rosenquist, Richard and Damm, Frederik}, date = {2016-12-08}, journaltitle = {Blood}, shortjournal = {Blood}, volume = {128}, number = {23}, pages = {2666--2670}, issn = {0006-4971}, doi = {10.1182/blood-2016-03-704528}, langid = {english} } @article{mareschalWholeExomeSequencing2016, title = {Whole Exome Sequencing of Relapsed/Refractory Patients Expands the Repertoire of Somatic Mutations in Diffuse Large {{B-cell}} Lymphoma}, author = {Mareschal, Sylvain and Dubois, Sydney and Viailly, Pierre-Julien and Bertrand, Philippe and Bohers, Elodie and Maingonnat, Catherine and Jaïs, Jean-Philippe and Tesson, Bruno and Ruminy, Philippe and Peyrouze, Pauline and Copie-Bergman, Christiane and Fest, Thierry and Jo Molina, Thierry and Haioun, Corinne and Salles, Gilles and Tilly, Hervé and Lecroq, Thierry and Leroy, Karen and Jardin, Fabrice}, date = {2016-03}, journaltitle = {Genes, Chromosomes \& Cancer}, shortjournal = {Genes Chromosomes Cancer}, volume = {55}, number = {3}, eprint = {26608593}, eprinttype = {pmid}, pages = {251--267}, issn = {1098-2264}, doi = {10.1002/gcc.22328}, abstract = {Despite the many efforts already spent to enumerate somatic mutations in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), previous whole-genome and whole-exome studies conducted on patients of mixed outcomes failed at characterizing the 30\% of patients who will relapse or resist current immunochemotherapies.

Aside from well-known DLBCL features, gene and pathway level recurrence analyses proposed several interesting leads including TBL1XR1 and activating mutations in IRF4 or in the insulin regulation pathway. Sequencing-based copy number analysis defined 23 short recurrently altered regions involving genes such as REL, CDKN2A, HYAL2, and TP53. Moreover, it highlighted mutations in genes such as GNA13, CARD11, MFHAS1, and PCLO as associated with secondary variant allele amplification events. The five primary mediastinal B-cell lymphomas (PMBL), while unexpected in a R/R cohort, showed a significantly higher mutation rate (P = 0.003) and provided many insights on this classical Hodgkin lymphoma related subtype. Novel genes such as XPO1, MFHAS1, and ITPKB were found particularly mutated, along with various cytokine-based signaling pathways.

The B cell thereby changes from expressing IgM to one producing IgG, IgE, or IgA, with each antibody isotype having a different effector function during an immune reaction. CSR is a DNA deletional-recombination reaction that proceeds through the generation of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in repetitive switch (S) sequences preceding each Ch gene and is completed by end-joining between donor Sμ and acceptor S regions. CSR is a multistep reaction requiring transcription through S regions, the DNA cytidine deaminase AID, and the participation of several general DNA repair pathways including base excision repair, mismatch repair, and classical nonhomologous end-joining. In this review, we discuss our current understanding of how transcription through S regions generates substrates for AID-mediated deamination and how AID participates not only in the initiation of CSR but also in the conversion of deaminated residues into DSBs. Additionally, we review the multiple processes that regulate AID expression and facilitate its recruitment specifically to the Ig loci, and how deregulation of AID specificity leads to oncogenic translocations.

We evaluated the timing and type of events in newly diagnosed DLBCL and compared patient outcome with reference population data. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL treated with immunochemotherapy were prospectively enrolled onto the University of Iowa/Mayo Clinic Specialized Program of Research Excellence Molecular Epidemiology Resource (MER) and the North Central Cancer Treatment Group NCCTG-N0489 clinical trial from 2002 to 2009. Patient outcomes were evaluated at diagnosis and in the subsets of patients achieving event-free status at 12 months (EFS12) and 24 months (EFS24) from diagnosis. Overall survival was compared with age- and sex-matched population data. Results were replicated in an external validation cohort from the Groupe d'Etude des Lymphomes de l'Adulte (GELA) Lymphome Non Hodgkinien 2003 (LNH2003) program and a registry based in Lyon, France. RESULTS: In all, 767 patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL who had a median age of 63 years were enrolled onto the MER and NCCTG studies. At a median follow-up of 60 months (range, 8 to 116 months), 299 patients had an event and 210 patients had died. Patients achieving EFS24 had an overall survival equivalent to that of the age- and sex-matched general population (standardized mortality ratio [SMR], 1.18; P = .25). This result was confirmed in 820 patients from the GELA study and registry in Lyon (SMR, 1.09; P = .71). Simulation studies showed that EFS24 has comparable power to continuous EFS when evaluating clinical trials in DLBCL.

However, the massive data sets generated by NGS--the 1000 Genome pilot alone includes nearly five terabases--make writing feature-rich, efficient, and robust analysis tools difficult for even computationally sophisticated individuals. Indeed, many professionals are limited in the scope and the ease with which they can answer scientific questions by the complexity of accessing and manipulating the data produced by these machines. Here, we discuss our Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK), a structured programming framework designed to ease the development of efficient and robust analysis tools for next-generation DNA sequencers using the functional programming philosophy of MapReduce. The GATK provides a small but rich set of data access patterns that encompass the majority of analysis tool needs. Separating specific analysis calculations from common data management infrastructure enables us to optimize the GATK framework for correctness, stability, and CPU and memory efficiency and to enable distributed and shared memory parallelization. We highlight the capabilities of the GATK by describing the implementation and application of robust, scale-tolerant tools like coverage calculators and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) calling. We conclude that the GATK programming framework enables developers and analysts to quickly and easily write efficient and robust NGS tools, many of which have already been incorporated into large-scale sequencing projects like the 1000 Genomes Project and The Cancer Genome Atlas.}, langid = {english}, pmcid = {PMC2928508}, keywords = {Base Sequence,Genome,Genomics,Sequence Analysis DNA,Software} } @article{mclarenEnsemblVariantEffect2016, title = {The {{Ensembl Variant Effect Predictor}}}, author = {McLaren, William and Gil, Laurent and Hunt, Sarah E. and Riat, Harpreet Singh and Ritchie, Graham R.

Yeast two-hybrid screening of a mammary gland cDNA library with human p21-activated kinase 1 (Pak1) as bait identified polyC-RNA-binding protein 1 (PCBP1), which controls translation from mRNAs containing the DICE (differentiation control element). Mitogenic stimulation of human cells phosphorylated PCBP1 on threonines 60 and 127 in a Pak1-sensitive manner. Pak1-dependent phosphorylation of PCBP1 released its binding and translational inhibition from a DICE-minigene. Overexpression of PCBP1 also inhibited the translation of the endogenous L1 cell adhesion molecule mRNA, which contains two DICE motifs in the 3′ untranslated region. We also found that Pak1 activation led to an increased nuclear retention of PCBP1, recruitment to the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) promoter, and stimulation of eIF4E expression in a Pak1-sensitive manner. Moreover, mitogenic stimulation promoted Pak1- and PCBP1-dependent alternative splicing and exon inclusion from a CD44 minigene. The alternative splicing functions of PCBP1 were in turn mediated by its intrinsic interaction with Caper α, a U2 snRNP auxiliary factor-related protein previously implicated in RNA splicing.

A 38 amino acid domain within A1, termed M9, which bears no resemblance to classical nuclear localization signal (NLS) sequences, localizes A1 to the nucleus. Here we show that M9 is also a nuclear export signal; placing M9 on a protein that is otherwise restricted to the nucleus, the nucleoplasmin core domain (NPc), efficiently exports it to the cytoplasm in a temperature-dependent manner. In contrast, classical NLSs cannot promote the export of NPc.

The nuclear transport process about which the most information is currently available is classical nuclear localization signal (NLS)-mediated nuclear import.

An example of this is the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) A1 protein which, by virtue of its M9 domain, is actively exported from the nucleus and imported into the nucleus via a novel pathway mediated by the recently characterized transportin protein. Here we report that the shuttling hnRNP K protein contains a novel shuttling domain (termed KNS) which has many of the characteristics of M9, in that it confers bi-directional transport across the nuclear envelope. KNS-mediated nuclear import is dependent on RNA polymerase II transcription, and we show that a classical NLS can override this effect. Furthermore, KNS accesses a separate import pathway from either classical NLSs or M9. This demonstrates the existence of a third protein import pathway into the nucleus and thereby defines a new type of nuclear import/export signal.}, pmcid = {PMC1169983} } @article{michaelSignalSequencesThat1995, title = {Signal Sequences That Target Nuclear Import and Nuclear Export of Pre-{{mRNA-binding}} Proteins}, author = {Michael, W.

The present work demonstrates that both of these molecules contribute to CT element-activated transcription in vitro. The pyrimidine-rich strand of the CT element both bound to hnRNP K and competitively inhibited transcription in vitro, suggesting a role for hnRNP K in activating transcription through this single-stranded sequence. Direct addition of recombinant hnRNP K to reaction mixtures programmed with templates bearing single-stranded CT elements increased specific RNA synthesis. If hnRNP K is a transcription factor, then interactions with the RNA polymerase II transcription apparatus are predicted. Affinity columns charged with recombinant hnRNP K specifically bind a component(s) necessary for transcription activation. The depleted factors were biochemically complemented by a crude TFIID phosphocellulose fraction, indicating that hnRNP K might interact with the TATA-binding protein (TBP)-TBP-associated factor complex. Coimmunoprecipitation of a complex formed in vivo between hnRNP K and epitope-tagged TBP as well as binding in vitro between recombinant proteins demonstrated a protein-protein interaction between TBP and hnRNP K. Furthermore, when the two proteins were overexpressed in vivo, transcription from a CT element-dependent reporter was synergistically activated.

We identify over one hundred miR-17-19b targets, of which 40\% are co-regulated by c-MYC. Downregulation of a new miR-17/20 target, checkpoint kinase 2 (Chek2), increases the recruitment of HuR to c-MYC transcripts, resulting in the inhibition of c-MYC translation and thus interfering with in vivo tumor growth. Hence, in established lymphomas, miR-17-19b fine-tunes c-MYC activity through a tight control of its function and expression, ultimately ensuring cancer cell homeostasis.

While Smad-dependent responses represent the primary signaling components activated by TGF-beta receptors, their function is controlled by a variety of cofactors. In addition, alternative signaling systems mediating TGF-beta-induced effects have recently been described such as MAP kinase pathways. To uncover novel proteins that participate in TGF-beta signaling via nuclear/cytoplasmic shuttling in lung epithelial cells, we have analyzed A549 human lung epithelial cells, using subcellular fractionation combined with 2-D PAGE, tryptic digestion, and MS. We identified a rapid increase in the cytosolic localization of KH-type splicing regulatory protein (KHSRP), far upstream element-binding protein (FUBP1), hnRNP-L, and hnRNP-H1, concomitant with a decrease in their nuclear localization in response to TGF-beta1.

Taking advantage of the limited genetic heterogeneity that exists within dog breeds, we tested the hypothesis that the prevalence of LPD immunophenotypes would differ among different breeds. The sample population included 1,263 dogs representing 87 breeds. Immunophenotype was determined by the presence of clonal rearrangements of immunoglobulin heavy chain or T-cell receptor γ chain. The probability of observing the number of B-cell or T-cell tumors in a particular breed or breed group was compared with three reference populations. Significance was computed using χ2 test, and logistic regression was used to confirm binomial predictions. The data show that, among 87 breeds tested, 15 showed significant differences from the prevalence of LPD immunophenotypes seen across the dog population as a whole. More significantly, elevated risk for T-cell LPD seems to have arisen ancestrally and is retained in related breed groups, whereas increased risk for B-cell disease may stem from different risk factors, or combinations of risk factors, arising during the process of breed derivation and selection.

By integrating copy number data with transcriptional profiles and performing pathway analysis in primary DLBCLs, we identified a comprehensive set of copy number alterations (CNAs) that decreased p53 activity and perturbed cell cycle regulation. Primary tumors either had multiple complementary alterations of p53 and cell cycle components or largely lacked these lesions. DLBCLs with p53 and cell cycle pathway CNAs had decreased abundance of p53 target transcripts and increased expression of E2F target genes and the Ki67 proliferation marker. CNAs of the CDKN2A-TP53-RB-E2F axis provide a structural basis for increased proliferation in DLBCL, predict outcome with current therapy, and suggest targeted treatment approaches.} } @article{montiMolecularProfilingDiffuse2005, title = {Molecular Profiling of Diffuse Large {{B-cell}} Lymphoma Identifies Robust Subtypes Including One Characterized by Host Inflammatory Response}, author = {Monti, S}, date = {2005-03}, journaltitle = {Blood}, volume = {105}, number = {5}, pages = {1851--1861} } @article{monzon-casanovaRNABindingProtein2018, title = {The {{RNA}} Binding Protein {{PTBP1}} Is Necessary for {{B}} Cell Selection in Germinal Centers}, author = {Monzón-Casanova, Elisa and Screen, Michael and Díaz-Muñoz, Manuel D. and Coulson, Richard M.

Furthermore, addition of PTB to reconstituted processing reactions enhances cleavage at the C2 poly(A) site, indicating that PTB has a direct role in recognition of this signal. The C2 USE, however, also increases the affinity of general polyadenylation factors independently for the C2 poly(A) signal as detected by enhanced binding of cleavage-stimulaton factor (CstF). Strikingly, this leads to a novel CstF-dependant enhancement of the poly(A) synthesis phase of the reaction.

EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Using exome sequencing, we characterized the mutation profiles of 38 rrDLBCL biopsies obtained at the time of progression after immunochemotherapy. To identify genes that may be associated with relapse, we compared the mutation frequency in samples obtained at relapse to an unrelated cohort of 138 diagnostic DLBCLs and separately amplified specific mutations in their matched diagnostic samples to identify clonal expansions. RESULTS: On the basis of a higher frequency at relapse and evidence for clonal selection, TP53, FOXO1, MLL3 (KMT2C), CCND3, NFKBIZ, and STAT6 emerged as top candidate genes implicated in therapeutic resistance. We observed individual examples of clonal expansions affecting genes whose mutations had not been previously associated with DLBCL including two regulators of NF-κB: NFKBIE and NFKBIZ We detected mutations that may be affect sensitivity to novel therapeutics, such as MYD88 and CD79B mutations, in 31\% and 23\% of patients with activated B-cell-type of rrDLBCL, respectively. We also identified recurrent STAT6 mutations affecting D419 in 36\% of patients with the germinal center B (GCB) cell rrDLBCL. These were associated with activated JAK/STAT signaling, increased phospho-STAT6 protein expression and increased expression of STAT6 target genes. CONCLUSIONS: This work improves our understanding of therapeutic resistance in rrDLBCL and has identified novel therapeutic opportunities especially for the high-risk patients with GCB-type rrDLBCL.

Furthermore, molecular studies, including global gene expression profiling, have provided evidence that PMBL is more closely related to classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). Although targeted sequencing studies have revealed a number of mutations involved in PMBL pathogenesis, a comprehensive description of disease-associated genetic alterations and perturbed pathways is still lacking. Here, we performed whole-exome sequencing of 95 PMBL tumors to inform on oncogenic driver genes and recurrent copy number alterations. The integration of somatic gene mutations with gene expression signatures provides further insights into genotype-phenotype interrelation in PMBL. We identified highly recurrent oncogenic mutations in the Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription and nuclear factor κB pathways, and provide additional evidence of the importance of immune evasion in PMBL (CIITA, CD58, B2M, CD274, and PDCD1LG2). Our analyses highlight the interferon response factor (IRF) pathway as a putative novel hallmark with frequent alterations in multiple pathway members (IRF2BP2, IRF4, and IRF8). In addition, our integrative analysis illustrates the importance of JAK1, RELB, and EP300 mutations driving oncogenic signaling. The identified driver genes were significantly more frequently mutated in PMBL compared with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, whereas only a limited number of genes were significantly different between PMBL and cHL, emphasizing the close relation between these entities.

Currently, the diagnosis relies on consensus of histopathology, clinical variables, and presentation, giving rise to diagnostic inaccuracy in routine practice. Previous studies have demonstrated that PMBCL can be distinguished from subtypes of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) based on gene expression signatures. However, requirement of fresh-frozen biopsy material has precluded the transfer of gene expression–based assays to the clinic. Here, we developed a robust and accurate molecular classification assay (Lymph3Cx) for the distinction of PMBCL from DLBCL subtypes based on gene expression measurements in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue. A probabilistic model accounting for classification error, comprising 58 gene features, was trained on 68 cases of PMBCL and DLBCL. Performance of the model was subsequently evaluated in an independent validation cohort of 158 cases and showed high agreement of the Lymph3Cx molecular classification with the clinicopathological diagnosis of an expert panel (frank misclassification rate, 3.8\%). Furthermore, we demonstrate reproducibility of the assay with 100\% concordance of subtype assignments at 2 independent laboratories.

Apart from CNV, NAHR events also created several hitherto unidentified chimeric FCGR2 genes. These include an FCGR2A/2C chimeric gene that causes a decreased expression of FcγRIIa on phagocytes, resulting in a decreased production of reactive oxygen species in response to immune complexes, compared with wild-type FCGR2A. Conversely, FCGR2C/2A chimeric genes were identified to lead to an increased expression of FCGR2C. Finally, a rare FCGR2B null-variant allele was found, in which a polymorphic stop codon of FCGR2C is introduced into one FCGR2B gene, resulting in a 50\% reduction in protein expression. Our study on CNRs and the chimeric genes is essential for the correct interpretation of association studies on FCGR genes as a determinant for disease susceptibility, and may explain some as yet unidentified extreme phenotypes of immune-mediated disease.} } @article{nakamuraTranslocationsInvolvingImmunoglobulin2008, title = {Translocations Involving the Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Gene Locus Predict Better Survival in Gastric Diffuse Large {{B-cell}} Lymphoma}, author = {Nakamura, S and Ye, H and Bacon, C and Goatly, A and Liu, H and Kerr, L and Banham, A and Streubel, B and Yao, T and Tsuneyoshi, M and Savio, A and Takeshita, M and Dartigues, P and Ruskone-Fourmestraux, A and Matsumoto, T and Iida, M and Du, M}, date = {2008}, journaltitle = {Clin Cancer Res}, volume = {14}, number = {10}, pages = {3002--3010} } @article{natarajanHnRNPKLysineSpecific2022, title = {{{HnRNPK}} and Lysine Specific Histone Demethylase-1 Regulates {{IP-10 mRNA}} Stability in Monocytes}, author = {Natarajan, Kartiga and Sundaramoorthy, Arun and Shanmugam, Narkunaraja}, date = {2022-04-05}, journaltitle = {European Journal of Pharmacology}, shortjournal = {European Journal of Pharmacology}, volume = {920}, pages = {174683}, issn = {0014-2999}, doi = {10.1016/j.ejphar.2021.174683}, url = {https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0014299921008396}, urldate = {2022-09-22}, abstract = {Altered mRNA metabolism is a feature of many inflammatory diseases.

We found that hnRNP H binds to two specific G-runs in exon 5a of human ACHE and activates the distal alternative 3΄ splice site (ss) between exons 5a and 5b to generate AChET. Specific effect of hnRNP H was corroborated by siRNA-mediated knockdown and artificial tethering of hnRNP H. Furthermore, hnRNP H competes for binding of CstF64 to the overlapping binding sites in exon 5a, and suppresses the selection of a cryptic polyadenylation site (PAS), which additionally ensures transcription of the distal 3΄ ss required for the generation of AChET. Expression levels of hnRNP H were positively correlated with the proportions of the AChET isoform in three different cell lines. HnRNP H thus critically generates AChET by enhancing the distal 3΄ ss and by suppressing the cryptic PAS. Global analysis of CLIP-seq and RNA-seq also revealed that hnRNP H competitively regulates alternative 3΄ ss and alternative PAS in other genes.

Constitutive nuclear factor (NF)-κB and JAK kinase signalling promotes malignant cell survival in these lymphomas, but the genetic basis for this signalling is incompletely understood. Here we describe the dependence of ABC DLBCLs on MYD88, an adaptor protein that mediates toll and interleukin (IL)-1 receptor signalling, and the discovery of highly recurrent oncogenic mutations affecting MYD88 in ABC DLBCL tumours. RNA interference screening revealed that MYD88 and the associated kinases IRAK1 and IRAK4 are essential for ABC DLBCL survival. High-throughput RNA resequencing uncovered MYD88 mutations in ABC DLBCL lines. Notably, 29\% of ABC DLBCL tumours harboured the same amino acid substitution, L265P, in the MYD88 Toll/IL-1 receptor (TIR) domain at an evolutionarily invariant residue in its hydrophobic core. This mutation was rare or absent in other DLBCL subtypes and Burkitt's lymphoma, but was observed in 9\% of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphomas. At a lower frequency, additional mutations were observed in the MYD88 TIR domain, occurring in both the ABC and germinal centre B-cell-like (GCB) DLBCL subtypes. Survival of ABC DLBCL cells bearing the L265P mutation was sustained by the mutant but not the wild-type MYD88 isoform, demonstrating that L265P is a gain-of-function driver mutation. The L265P mutant promoted cell survival by spontaneously assembling a protein complex containing IRAK1 and IRAK4, leading to IRAK4 kinase activity, IRAK1 phosphorylation, NF-κB signalling, JAK kinase activation of STAT3, and secretion of IL-6, IL-10 and interferon-β. Hence, the MYD88 signalling pathway is integral to the pathogenesis of ABC DLBCL, supporting the development of inhibitors of IRAK4 kinase and other components of this pathway for the treatment of tumours bearing oncogenic MYD88 mutations.}, langid = {english}, pmcid = {PMC5024568}, keywords = {Amino Acid Sequence,Amino Acid Substitution,Burkitt Lymphoma,Cell Line Tumor,Cell Survival,Cytokines,High-Throughput Nucleotide Sequencing,Humans,Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Interactions,Interleukin-1 Receptor-Associated Kinases,Janus Kinases,Lymphoma B-Cell Marginal Zone,Lymphoma Large B-Cell Diffuse,Molecular Sequence Data,Mutant Proteins,Mutation,Myeloid Differentiation Factor 88,NF-kappa B,Oncogenes,Phosphorylation,Protein Structure Tertiary,Receptors Interleukin-1,RNA Interference,Sequence Analysis RNA,Signal Transduction,STAT3 Transcription Factor,Toll-Like Receptors} } @article{nicholsLossHeterozygosityEssential2020, title = {Loss of Heterozygosity of Essential Genes Represents a Widespread Class of Potential Cancer Vulnerabilities}, author = {Nichols, Caitlin A. and Gibson, William J. and Brown, Meredith S. and Kosmicki, Jack A. and Busanovich, John P. and Wei, Hope and Urbanski, Laura M. and Curimjee, Naomi and Berger, Ashton C. and Gao, Galen F. and Cherniack, Andrew D. and Dhe-Paganon, Sirano and Paolella, Brenton R. and Beroukhim, Rameen}, date = {2020-05-20}, journaltitle = {Nature Communications}, shortjournal = {Nat Commun}, volume = {11}, number = {1}, pages = {2517}, publisher = {Nature Publishing Group}, issn = {2041-1723}, doi = {10.1038/s41467-020-16399-y}, url = {https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-16399-y}, urldate = {2023-01-10}, abstract = {Alterations in non-driver genes represent an emerging class of potential therapeutic targets in cancer. Hundreds to thousands of non-driver genes undergo loss of heterozygosity (LOH) events per tumor, generating discrete differences between tumor and normal cells. Here we interrogate LOH of polymorphisms in essential genes as a novel class of therapeutic targets. We hypothesized that monoallelic inactivation of the allele retained in tumors can selectively kill cancer cells but not somatic cells, which retain both alleles. We identified 5664 variants in 1278 essential genes that undergo LOH in cancer and evaluated the potential for each to be targeted using allele-specific gene-editing, RNAi, or small-molecule approaches. We further show that allele-specific inactivation of either of two essential genes (PRIM1 and EXOSC8) reduces growth of cells harboring that allele, while cells harboring the non-targeted allele remain intact. We conclude that LOH of essential genes represents a rich class of non-driver cancer vulnerabilities.}, issue = {1}, langid = {english}, keywords = {Cancer,Cancer genomics,Molecular biology} } @article{nieIntegrativeAnalysisTranscriptomic2007, title = {Integrative {{Analysis}} of {{Transcriptomic}} and {{Proteomic Data}}: {{Challenges}}, {{Solutions}} and {{Applications}}}, shorttitle = {Integrative {{Analysis}} of {{Transcriptomic}} and {{Proteomic Data}}}, author = {Nie, Lei and Wu, Gang and Culley, David E. and Scholten, Johannes C.

Two popular platforms are DNA microarrays that measure messenger RNA transcript levels, and gel-free proteomic analyses that quantify protein abundance. Obviously, no single approach can fully unravel the complexities of fundamental biology and it is equally clear that integrative analysis of multiple levels of gene expression would be valuable in this endeavor. However, most integrative transcriptomic and proteomic studies have thus far either failed to find a correlation or only observed a weak correlation. In addition to various biological factors, it is suggested that the poor correlation could be quite possibly due to the inadequacy of available statistical tools to compensate for biases in the data collection methodologies. To address this issue, attempts have recently been made to systematically investigate the correlation patterns between transcriptomic and proteomic datasets, and to develop sophisticated statistical tools to improve the chances of capturing a relationship. The goal of these efforts is to enhance understanding of the relationship between transcriptomes and proteomes so that integrative analyses may be utilized to reveal new biological insights that are not accessible through one-dimensional datasets. In this review, we outline some of the challenges associated with integrative analyses and present some preliminary statistical solutions.

Mutational processes evolve across a cancer's lifespan, with many emerging late but contributing extensive genetic variation. Subclonal diversification is prominent, and most mutations are found in just a fraction of tumor cells. Every tumor has a dominant subclonal lineage, representing more than 50\% of tumor cells. Minimal expansion of these subclones occurs until many hundreds to thousands of mutations have accumulated, implying the existence of long-lived, quiescent cell lineages capable of substantial proliferation upon acquisition of enabling genomic changes.

In this strategy, the NMD pathway is pharmacologically inhibited in cultured patient cells, resulting in stabilization of nonsense transcripts. To distinguish stabilized nonsense transcripts from background transcripts upregulated by drug treatment, drug-induced expression changes are measured in control and disease cell lines with complementary DNA (cDNA) microarrays. Transcripts are ranked by a nonsense enrichment index (NEI), which relates expression changes for a given transcript in NMD-inhibited control and patient cell lines.

These receptors are initially generated stochastically by somatic re-arrangement of the DNA and further diversified following antigen-activation by a process of somatic hypermutation, which introduces mainly point substitutions into the receptor DNA at a high rate. Recent advances in next-generation sequencing have enabled large-scale profiling of the B cell Ig repertoire from blood and tissue samples. A key computational challenge in the analysis of these data is partitioning the sequences to identify descendants of a common B cell (i.e. a clone). Current methods group sequences using a fixed distance threshold, or a likelihood calculation that is computationally-intensive. Here, we propose a new method based on spectral clustering with an adaptive threshold to determine the local sequence neighborhood. Validation using simulated and experimental datasets demonstrates that this method has high sensitivity and specificity compared to a fixed threshold that is optimized for these measures. In addition, this method works on datasets where choosing an optimal fixed threshold is difficult and is more computationally efficient in all cases. The ability to quickly and accurately identify members of a clone from repertoire sequencing data will greatly improve downstream analyses. Clonally-related sequences cannot be treated independently in statistical models, and clonal partitions are used as the basis for the calculation of diversity metrics, lineage reconstruction and selection analysis. Thus, the spectral clustering-based method here represents an important contribution to repertoire analysis.

SESTRIN1 loss represents an alternative to RRAGC mutations that maintain mTORC1 activity under nutrient starvation. The antitumor efficacy of pharmacological EZH2 inhibition depends on SESTRIN1, indicating that mTORC1 control is a critical function of EZH2 in lymphoma. Conversely, EZH2Y641X mutant lymphomas show increased sensitivity to RapaLink-1, a bifunctional mTOR inhibitor. Hence, SESTRIN1 contributes to the genetic and epigenetic control of mTORC1 in lymphoma and influences responses to targeted therapies.}, langid = {english}, pmcid = {PMC5559734}, keywords = {Animals,Chromosome Deletion,Chromosomes Human Pair 6,Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2 Protein,Epigenesis Genetic,Gene Silencing,Genetic Testing,Genome Human,Heat-Shock Proteins,Humans,Lymphoma Follicular,Mechanistic Target of Rapamycin Complex 1,Mice,Mutation,Protein Biosynthesis,RNA Messenger} } @article{oskarsdottirBamHashChecksumProgram2016, title = {{{BamHash}}: A Checksum Program for Verifying the Integrity of Sequence Data}, shorttitle = {{{BamHash}}}, author = {Óskarsdóttir, Arna and Másson, Gísli and Melsted, Páll}, date = {2016-01-01}, journaltitle = {Bioinformatics}, shortjournal = {Bioinformatics}, volume = {32}, number = {1}, pages = {140--141}, issn = {1367-4803}, doi = {10.1093/bioinformatics/btv539}, url = {https://academic.oup.com/bioinformatics/article/32/1/140/1743564}, urldate = {2019-12-21}, abstract = {Abstract.

In this study, we showed that hnRNP K protein was strongly expressed in selected RCC cell lines (ACHN, A498, Caki-1, 786–0), and knock-down of hnRNP K expression by siRNA induced cell growth inhibition and apoptosis. Based on immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis of hnRNP K expression in human clear cell RCC specimens, we demonstrated that there was a significant positive correlation between hnRNP K staining score and tumor aggressiveness (e.g., Fuhrman grade, metastasis). Particularly, the rate of cytoplasmic localization of hnRNP K in primary RCC with distant metastasis was significantly higher than that in RCC without metastasis. Additionally, our results indicated that the cytoplasmic distribution of hnRNP K induced by TGF-β stimulus mainly contributed to TGF-β-triggered tumor cell invasion in RCC cells. Dominant cytoplasmic expression of ectopic hnRNP K markedly suppressed the inhibition of invasion by knock-down of endogenous hnRNP K. The expression level of matrix metalloproteinase protein-2 was decreased by endogenous hnRNP K knock-down, and restored by ectopic hnRNP K. Therefore, hnRNP K may be a key molecule involved in cell motility in RCC cells, and molecular mechanism associated with the subcellular localization of hnRNP K may be a novel target in the treatment of metastatic RCC.}, langid = {english}, keywords = {Cell staining,Cytoplasm,Cytoplasmic staining,Metastasis,Renal cancer,Renal cell carcinoma,Small interfering RNA,Transfection} } @article{ottoGeneticLesionsTRAF32012, title = {Genetic Lesions of the {{TRAF3}} and {{MAP3K14}} Genes in Classical {{Hodgkin}} Lymphoma}, author = {Otto, Claudia and Giefing, Maciej and Massow, Anne and Vater, Inga and Gesk, Stefan and Schlesner, Matthias and Richter, Julia and Klapper, Wolfram and Hansmann, Martin-Leo and Siebert, Reiner and Küppers, Ralf}, date = {2012-06}, journaltitle = {British Journal of Haematology}, shortjournal = {Br J Haematol}, volume = {157}, number = {6}, eprint = {22469134}, eprinttype = {pmid}, pages = {702--708}, issn = {1365-2141}, doi = {10.1111/j.1365-2141.2012.09113.x}, abstract = {Hodgkin and Reed/Sternberg (HRS) cells in classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) show constitutive activation of nuclear factor (NF)-κB.

Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array analysis of cHL cell lines revealed a uniparental disomy of the long arm of chromosome 14 associated with a biallelic deletion of TRAF3 located on this chromosome in cell line U-HO1. Cloning of the deletion breakpoint showed a 123~371 bp deletion. No inactivating mutations of TRAF3 were found in six other cHL cell lines or in microdissected HRS cells from seven cHL. However, in primary cHL samples interphase cytogenetic analyses revealed signal patterns indicating monoallelic deletion of TRAF3 in 3/20 other cases. SNP array analysis revealed a gain of copy number for MAP3K14 in three cHL cell lines. Gains of MAP3K14 were detected in 5/16 cases of primary cHL.

To confirm our findings, we resequenced the genes identified in the exome cohort in 191 MCL tumors, each having clinical follow-up data. We confirmed the prognostic association of TP53 and NOTCH1 mutations. Our sequencing revealed novel recurrent noncoding mutations surrounding a single exon of the HNRNPH1gene. In RNA-seq data from 103 of these cases, MCL tumors with these mutations had a distinct imbalance of HNRNPH1 isoforms. This altered splicing of HNRNPH1 was associated with inferior outcomes in MCL and showed a significant increase in protein expression by immunohistochemistry.

During B-cell development, the immunoglobulin variable (V) region genes are subject to somatic hypermutation in germinal-centre B cells. Here we report that an aberrant hypermutation activity targets multiple loci, including the proto-oncogenes PIM1, MYC, RhoH/TTF (ARHH) and PAX5, in more than 50\% of diffuse large-cell lymphomas (DLCLs), which are tumours derived from germinal centres. Mutations are distributed in the 5' untranslated or coding sequences, are independent of chromosomal translocations, and share features typical of V-region-associated somatic hypermutation. In contrast to mutations in V regions, however, these mutations are not detectable in normal germinal-centre B cells or in other germinal-centre-derived lymphomas, suggesting a DLCL-associated malfunction of somatic hypermutation. Intriguingly, the four hypermutable genes are susceptible to chromosomal translocations in the same region, consistent with a role for hypermutation in generating translocations by DNA double-strand breaks.

Long-lived humoral immunity as well as most B-cell malignancies, originate in the germinal center (GC). Murine GC B-cells depend on pro-survival protein MCL-1, but not BCL-XL. In contrast, naive and memory B-cells depend on BCL-2, but not BCL-XL or MCL-1. For human B-cell subsets, the functional relationships among BCL-2 members are unclear, and also if and how they shift after malignant transformation. We here dissect these aspects in human tonsil and primary leukemia (CLL) cells by single and combined treatment with novel, highly specific BH3-mimetics. We found that MCL-1 expression in GC B-cells is regulated post-translationally and its importance is highlighted by preferential binding to pro-apoptotic BIM. In contrast, BCL-XL is transcriptionally induced and binds solely to weak sensitizer BIK, potentially explaining why BCL-XL is not required for GC B-cell survival. Using novel BH3-mimetics, we found that naive and memory B-cells depend on BCL-2, GC cells predominantly on MCL-1, whereas plasma cells need both BCL-XL and MCL-1 for survival. CLL cells switch from highly sensitive for BCL-2 inhibition to resistant after CD40-stimulation. However, combined inhibition of BCL-2, plus BCL-XL or MCL-1 effectively kills these cells, thus exposing a weakness that may be therapeutically useful.

We present a bioinformatic analysis integrating three data sources, eCLIP assays for a large RBP panel, shRNA inactivation of NMD pathway, and shRNA-depletion of RBPs followed by RNA-seq, to identify novel such autoregulatory feedback loops. We show that RBPs frequently bind their own pre-mRNAs, their exons respond prominently to NMD pathway disruption, and that the responding exons are enriched with nearby eCLIP peaks.

We report a 60-yr-old male with newly diagnosed high-grade B-cell lymphoma with a negative MYC BAP study, but with positive BCL2 and BCL6 BAP studies. Per our current laboratory algorithm to concurrently interrogate the MYC gene region with both MYC BAP and IGH/MYC D-FISH probe sets, we performed IGH/MYC D-FISH studies and detected an IGH/MYC fusion.

Errors in lung cancer type or malignant growth determination lead to degraded treatment efficacy, because anticancer strategy depends on tumor morphology. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We have made an attempt to evaluate effectiveness of machine learning algorithms in the task of lung cancer classification based on gene expression levels. We processed four publicly available data sets. The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute data set contains 203 samples and the task was to classify four cancer types and sound tissue samples. With the University of Michigan data set of 96 samples, the task was to execute a binary classification of adenocarcinoma and non-neoplastic tissues. The University of Toronto data set contains 39 samples and the task was to detect recurrence, while with the Brigham and Women's Hospital data set of 181 samples it was to make a binary classification of malignant pleural mesothelioma and adenocarcinoma. We used the k-nearest neighbor algorithm (k=1, k=5, k=10), naive Bayes classifier with assumption of both a normal distribution of attributes and a distribution through histograms, support vector machine and C4.5 decision tree. Effectiveness of machine learning algorithms was evaluated with the Matthews correlation coefficient. RESULTS: The support vector machine method showed best results among data sets from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women's Hospital. All algorithms with the exception of the C4.5 decision tree showed maximum potential effectiveness in the University of Michigan data set. However, the C4.5 decision tree showed best results for the University of Toronto data set.

Among these genes, SF3B1, encoding a subunit of the spliceosomal U2 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP), is somatically mutated in 9.7\% of affected individuals. Further analysis in 279 individuals with CLL showed that SF3B1 mutations were associated with faster disease progression and poor overall survival. This work provides the first comprehensive catalog of somatic mutations in CLL with relevant clinical correlates and defines a large set of new genes that may drive the development of this common form of leukemia.

Recurrent somatic mutations in host genes have exposed the T-cell receptor pathway through nuclear factor κB to interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) as an essential driver for this malignancy. We sought to determine if IRF4 represents a therapeutic target for ATLL and to identify downstream effectors and biomarkers of IRF4 signaling in vivo. Results ATLL cell lines, particularly Tax viral oncoprotein-negative cell lines, that most closely resemble ATLL in humans, were sensitive to dose- and time-dependent inhibition by a next-generation class of IRF4 antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) that employ constrained ethyl residues that mediate RNase H-dependent RNA degradation. ATLL cell lines were also sensitive to lenalidomide, which repressed IRF4 expression. Both ASOs and lenalidomide inhibited ATLL proliferation in vitro and in vivo. To identify biomarkers of IRF4-mediated CD4\,+\,T-cell expansion in vivo, transcriptomic analysis identified several genes that encode key regulators of ATLL, including interleukin 2 receptor subunits α and β, KIT ligand, cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4, and thymocyte selection-associated high mobility group protein TOX 2.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether type II mAb are more efficient than type I mAb at depleting B cells from RA and SLE patients, whether internalization influences the efficiency of depletion, and whether Fcγ receptor type IIb (FcγRIIb) and the B cell receptor regulate this internalization process. We used an in vitro whole blood B cell–depletion assay to assess the efficiency of depletion, flow cytometry to study cell surface protein expression, and surface fluorescence–quenching assays to assess rituximab internalization, in samples from patients with RA and patients with SLE. Paired t-test or Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare groups, and Spearman's rank correlation test was used to assess correlation. We found that type II mAb internalized significantly less rituximab than type I mAb and depleted B cells from patients with RA and SLE at least 2-fold more efficiently than type I mAb. Internalization of rituximab was highly variable between patients, was regulated by FcγRIIb, and inversely correlated with cytotoxicity in whole blood B cell–depletion assays. The lowest levels of internalization were seen in IgD– B cells, including postswitched (IgD–CD27+) memory cells. Internalization of type I anti-CD20 mAb was also partially inhibited by anti-IgM stimulation. Variability in internalization of rituximab was observed and was correlated with impaired B cell depletion. Therefore, slower-internalizing type II mAb should be considered as alternative B cell–depleting agents for the treatment of RA and SLE.} } @article{reichelFlowSortingExome2015, title = {Flow Sorting and Exome Sequencing Reveal the Oncogenome of Primary {{Hodgkin}} and {{Reed-Sternberg}} Cells}, author = {Reichel, Jonathan and Chadburn, Amy and Rubinstein, Paul G. and Giulino-Roth, Lisa and Tam, Wayne and Liu, Yifang and Gaiolla, Rafael and Eng, Kenneth and Brody, Joshua and Inghirami, Giorgio and Carlo-Stella, Carmelo and Santoro, Armando and Rahal, Daoud and Totonchy, Jennifer and Elemento, Olivier and Cesarman, Ethel and Roshal, Mikhail}, date = {2015-02-12}, journaltitle = {Blood}, shortjournal = {Blood}, volume = {125}, number = {7}, eprint = {25488972}, eprinttype = {pmid}, pages = {1061--1072}, issn = {1528-0020}, doi = {10.1182/blood-2014-11-610436}, abstract = {Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) is characterized by sparsely distributed Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells amid reactive host background, complicating the acquisition of neoplastic DNA without extensive background contamination.

Consequently, MYC is deregulated, resulting in massive perturbation of gene expression. Nevertheless, MYC deregulation alone seems not to be sufficient to drive Burkitt lymphomagenesis. By whole-genome, whole-exome and transcriptome sequencing of four prototypical Burkitt lymphomas with immunoglobulin gene (IG)-MYC translocation, we identified seven recurrently mutated genes.

Thus, accurate classification is essential for analysis of clinical trial results and planning new trials by using targeted agents. The current standard for COO classification uses gene expression profiling (GEP) of snap frozen tissues, and a Bayesian predictor algorithm. However, this is generally not feasible. In this study, we investigated whether the qNPA technique could be used for accurate classification of COO by using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues. We analyzed expression levels of 14 genes in 121 cases of R-CHOP-treated DLBCL that had previously undergone GEP by using the Affymetrix U133 Plus 2.0 microarray and had matching FFPE blocks. Results were evaluated by using the previously published algorithm with a leave-one-out cross-validation approach.

The package contains particularly strong facilities for reading, normalizing and exploring such data. Recently, the capabilities of limma have been significantly expanded in two important directions. First, the package can now perform both differential expression and differential splicing analyses of RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data. All the downstream analysis tools previously restricted to microarray data are now available for RNA-seq as well. These capabilities allow users to analyse both RNA-seq and microarray data with very similar pipelines. Second, the package is now able to go past the traditional gene-wise expression analyses in a variety of ways, analysing expression profiles in terms of co-regulated sets of genes or in terms of higher-order expression signatures. This provides enhanced possibilities for biological interpretation of gene expression differences.

Intron 6 of the human hnRNP L gene contains a short exon that, if used, introduces a premature termination codon, resulting in nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). This “poison exon” is preceded by a highly conserved CA-rich cluster extending over 800 nucleotides that binds hnRNP L and functions as an unusually extended, intronic enhancer, promoting inclusion of the poison exon. As a result, excess hnRNP L activates NMD of its own mRNA, thereby creating a negative autoregulatory feedback loop and contributing to homeostasis of hnRNP L levels. We present experimental evidence for this mechanism, based on NMD inactivation, hnRNP L binding assays, and hnRNP L-dependent alternative splicing of heterologous constructs.

However, t(14;18) is also detectable in the blood of otherwise healthy persons, and its relationship with progression to disease remains unclear. Here we sought to determine whether t(14;18)-positive cells in healthy individuals represent tumor precursors and whether their detection could be used as an early predictor for FL. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: Among 520,000 healthy participants enrolled onto the EPIC (European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and Nutrition) cohort, we identified 100 who developed FL 2 to 161 months after enrollment. Prediagnostic blood from these and 218 controls were screened for t(14;18) using sensitive polymerase chain reaction-based assays. Results were subsequently validated in an independent cohort (65 case participants; 128 controls). Clonal relationships between t(14;18) cells and FL were also assessed by molecular backtracking of paired prediagnostic blood and tumor samples. RESULTS: Clonal analysis of t(14;18) junctions in paired prediagnostic blood versus tumor samples demonstrated that progression to FL occurred from t(14;18)-positive committed precursors.

To identify genetic mechanisms contributing to primary or acquired R-CHOP resistance, we performed target-panel sequencing of 135 relapsed/refractory DLBCLs (rrDLBCLs), primarily comprising circulating tumor DNA from patients on clinical trials. Comparison with a metacohort of 1670 diagnostic DLBCLs identified 6 genes significantly enriched for mutations upon relapse. TP53 and KMT2D were mutated in the majority of rrDLBCLs, and these mutations remained clonally persistent throughout treatment in paired diagnostic-relapse samples, suggesting a role in primary treatment resistance. Nonsense and missense mutations affecting MS4A1, which encodes CD20, are exceedingly rare in diagnostic samples but show recurrent patterns of clonal expansion following rituximab-based therapy. MS4A1 missense mutations within the transmembrane domains lead to loss of CD20 in vitro, and patient tumors harboring these mutations lacked CD20 protein expression. In a time series from a patient treated with multiple rounds of therapy, tumor heterogeneity and minor MS4A1-harboring subclones contributed to rapid disease recurrence, with MS4A1 mutations as founding events for these subclones. TP53 and KMT2D mutation status, in combination with other prognostic factors, may be used to identify high-risk patients prior to R-CHOP for posttreatment monitoring. Using liquid biopsies, we show the potential to identify tumors with loss of CD20 surface expression stemming from MS4A1 mutations.

We also demonstrated that overexpression of rpL3 downregulates canonical splicing and upregulates the alternative splicing of its pre-mRNA. We are currently investigating the molecular mechanism underlying rpL3 autoregulation. Here we report that the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) H1 is a transacting factor able to interact in vitro and in vivo with rpL3 and with intron 3 of the rpL3 gene. We investigated the role played by hnRNP H1 in the regulation of splicing of rpL3 pre-mRNA by manipulating its expression level. Depletion of hnRNP H1 reduced the level of the PTC-containing mRNA isoform, whereas its overexpression favored the selection of the cryptic 3′ splice site of intron 3. We also identified and characterized the cis-acting regulatory elements involved in hnRNP H1-mediated regulation of splicing. RNA electromobility shift assay demonstrated that hnRNP H1 specifically recognizes and binds directly to the intron 3 region that contains seven copies of G-rich elements. Site-directed mutagenesis analysis and in vivo studies showed that the G3 and G6 elements are required for hnRNP H1-mediated regulation of rpL3 pre-mRNA splicing.

Acquisition of heterogeneous genetic aberrations and epigenetic dysregulation lead to the transformation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) into leukemic stem cells (LSC), which subsequently gives rise to immature blast cells and a leukemic phenotype. LSCs are responsible for disease relapse as current chemotherapeutic regimens are not able to completely eradicate these cellular sub-populations. Therefore, it is critical to improve upon the existing knowledge of LSC specific markers, which would allow for specific targeting of these cells more effectively. Although significant milestones in decoding the aberrant transcriptional network of various cancers, including leukemia, have been achieved, studies on the involvement of post-transcriptional gene regulation (PTGR) in disease progression are beginning to unfold. RNA binding proteins (RBPs), are key players in mediating PTGR and they regulate the intracellular fate of individual transcripts, from their biogenesis to RNA metabolism. In this study, we have used an integrative approach to systematically profile RBP expression and identify key regulatory RBPs involved in normal myeloid development and AML. We have analyzed RNA-seq datasets (GSE74246) of HSCs, common myeloid progenitors (CMPs), granulocyte-macrophage progenitors (GMPs), monocytes, LSCs, and blasts. We observed that normal and leukemic cells can be distinguished on the basis of RBP expression, which is indicative of cell type specific expression. We identified that distinctly co-expressing modules of RBPs and their subclasses were enriched in hematopoietic stem/progenitor (HSCP) and differentiated monocytes. We detected expression of DZIP3, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, in HSCP, knockdown of which promotes monocytic differentiation in cell line model. We identified co-expression modules of RBP genes in LSCs and among these, distinct modules of RBP genes with high and low expression. The expression of several AML-specific RBPs were validated byqRT-PCR. Network analysis identified densely connected hubs of ribosomal RBP genes (rRBPs) with low expression in LSCs, suggesting the dependency of LSCs on altered ribosome dynamics. In conclusion, our systematic analysis elucidates the RBP transcriptomic landscape in normal and malignant myelopoiesis, and highlights the functional consequences that may result from perturbation of RBP gene expression in these cellular landscapes.}, langid = {english} } @article{sakrIdentificationDoubleHit2019, title = {Identification of "{{Double Hit}}" {{Lymphomas Using Updated WHO Criteria}}: {{Insights From Routine MYC Immunohistochemistry}} in 272 {{Consecutive Cases}} of {{Aggressive B-Cell Lymphomas}}}, shorttitle = {Identification of "{{Double Hit}}" {{Lymphomas Using Updated WHO Criteria}}}, author = {Sakr, Hany and Cook, James R.}, date = {2019-07}, journaltitle = {Applied immunohistochemistry \& molecular morphology: AIMM}, shortjournal = {Appl.

In this context, quadruplex ligands are considered as potential strategies for anticancer drug discovery. Previous reviews are mainly focused on ligands targeting DNA G-quadruplexes, RNA G-quadruplexes and i-Motifs in a separate way, hindering a holistic study. The present review overcomes this limitation by providing a general overview of the recent research on ligands targeting the three different quadruplex structures in cancer. Abstract Nucleic acids can adopt alternative secondary conformations including four-stranded structures known as quadruplexes. To date, quadruplexes have been demonstrated to exist both in human chromatin DNA and RNA. In particular, quadruplexes are found in guanine-rich sequences constituting G-quadruplexes, and in cytosine-rich sequences forming i-Motifs as a counterpart. Quadruplexes are associated with key biological processes ranging from transcription and translation of several oncogenes and tumor suppressors to telomeres maintenance and genome instability. In this context, quadruplexes have prompted investigations on their possible role in cancer biology and the evaluation of small-molecule ligands as potential therapeutic agents.

Splicing is tightly connected to transcription and can be affected by transcription elongation dynamics. Moreover, various transcriptional coregulators that are altered in cancer, such as the proto-oncogene EWS, are thought to play a role in splicing. A recent study shows that an alteration of EWS in Ewing sarcoma alters the dynamics of RNA polymerase II over the CCND1 proto-oncogene encoding cyclin D1, leading to an increase in its transcription and to an alteration of splicing that results in high levels of the oncogenic cyclin D1b splice isoform.

Microdeletions in the 1q44 locus encompassing HNRNPU and other genes and point mutations in HNRNPU cause brain disorders, including early-onset seizures and severe intellectual disability. We aimed to understand HNRNPU’s roles in the developing brain. Our work revealed that HNRNPU loss of function leads to rapid cell death of both postmitotic neurons and neural progenitors, with an apparent higher sensitivity of the latter. Further, expression and alternative splicing of multiple genes involved in cell survival, cell motility, and synapse formation are affected following Hnrnpu’s conditional truncation. Finally, we identified pharmaceutical and genetic agents that can partially reverse the loss of cortical structures in Hnrnpu mutated embryonic brains, ameliorate radial neuronal migration defects and rescue cultured neural progenitors’ cell death., HNRNPU is an RNA splicing protein associated with brain disorders such as early onset seizures.

The antisense oligonucleotides can modulate the protein expression via targeting hnRNAs or mRNAs and inducing interference with splicing, mRNA degradation, or arrest of translation, finally, resulting in rescue or reduction of the target protein expression. Different classes of antisense oligonucleotides are being tested in several clinical trials, and limitations of their clinical efficacy and toxicity have been reported for some of these compounds, while more encouraging results have supported the development of others. New generation antisense oligonucleotides are also being tested in preclinical models together with specific delivery systems that could allow some of the limitations of current antisense oligonucleotides to be overcome, to improve the cell penetration, to achieve more robust target engagement, and hopefully also be associated with acceptable toxicity. This review article describes the chemical properties and molecular mechanisms of action of the antisense oligonucleotides and the therapeutic implications these compounds have in neuromuscular diseases.

The consequent increased demand for somatic variant analysis of paired samples requires methods specialized to model this problem so as to sensitively call variants at any practical level of tumor impurity. RESULTS: We describe Strelka, a method for somatic SNV and small indel detection from sequencing data of matched tumor-normal samples. The method uses a novel Bayesian approach which represents continuous allele frequencies for both tumor and normal samples, while leveraging the expected genotype structure of the normal. This is achieved by representing the normal sample as a mixture of germline variation with noise, and representing the tumor sample as a mixture of the normal sample with somatic variation. A natural consequence of the model structure is that sensitivity can be maintained at high tumor impurity without requiring purity estimates. We demonstrate that the method has superior accuracy and sensitivity on impure samples compared with approaches based on either diploid genotype likelihoods or general allele-frequency tests.

Gene-expression profiling has identified subgroups of DLBCL (activated B-cell-like [ABC], germinal-center B-cell-like [GCB], and unclassified) according to cell of origin that are associated with a differential response to chemotherapy and targeted agents. We sought to extend these findings by identifying genetic subtypes of DLBCL based on shared genomic abnormalities and to uncover therapeutic vulnerabilities based on tumor genetics. METHODS: We studied 574 DLBCL biopsy samples using exome and transcriptome sequencing, array-based DNA copy-number analysis, and targeted amplicon resequencing of 372 genes to identify genes with recurrent aberrations. We developed and implemented an algorithm to discover genetic subtypes based on the co-occurrence of genetic alterations. RESULTS: We identified four prominent genetic subtypes in DLBCL, termed MCD (based on the co-occurrence of MYD88L265P and CD79B mutations), BN2 (based on BCL6 fusions and NOTCH2 mutations), N1 (based on NOTCH1 mutations), and EZB (based on EZH2 mutations and BCL2 translocations). Genetic aberrations in multiple genes distinguished each genetic subtype from other DLBCLs. These subtypes differed phenotypically, as judged by differences in gene-expression signatures and responses to immunochemotherapy, with favorable survival in the BN2 and EZB subtypes and inferior outcomes in the MCD and N1 subtypes. Analysis of genetic pathways suggested that MCD and BN2 DLBCLs rely on "chronic active" B-cell receptor signaling that is amenable to therapeutic inhibition. CONCLUSIONS: We uncovered genetic subtypes of DLBCL with distinct genotypic, epigenetic, and clinical characteristics, providing a potential nosology for precision-medicine strategies in DLBCL.

Sequencing of the CD58 gene in seven cHL cell lines disclosed in addition a homozygous splice site mutation in cell line KM-H2.

Accurate diagnosis would appear to mandate fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for all tumors with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) morphology. We present the results of FISH, cell-of-origin, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) testing from 1228 DLBCL biopsies from 3 clinical trials and a population-based registry. HGBL-DH/TH made up 7.9\% of the DLBCL, confined primarily to the germinal center B-cell–like (GCB; 13.3\%) compared with activated B-cell-like (ABC; 1.7\%) subtype (P {$<$} .001). HGBL-DH/TH with BCL2 rearrangement is a GCB phenomenon with no cases observed in 415 ABC DLBCL. A screening strategy restricting FISH testing to tumors of GCB subtype (by Lymph2Cx or Hans IHC) plus dual protein expression of MYC and BCL2 by IHC could limit testing to 11\% to 14\% of tumors, with a positive predictive value of 30\% to 37\%; however, this strategy would miss approximately one-quarter of tumors with HBGL-DH/TH with BCL2 rearrangement and one-third of all HGBL-DH/TH. These results provide accurate estimation of the proportion of HGBL-DH/TH among tumors with DLBCL morphology and allow determination of the impact of various methods available to screen DLBCL tumors for FISH testing.}, langid = {english} } @article{scottNewMolecularAssay2017, title = {New {{Molecular Assay}} for the {{Proliferation Signature}} in {{Mantle Cell Lymphoma Applicable}} to {{Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded Biopsies}}}, author = {Scott, David W. and Abrisqueta, Pau and Wright, George W. and Slack, Graham W. and Mottok, Anja and Villa, Diego and Jares, Pedro and Rauert-Wunderlich, Hilka and Royo, Cristina and Clot, Guillem and Pinyol, Magda and Boyle, Merrill and Chan, Fong Chun and Braziel, Rita M. and Chan, Wing C. and Weisenburger, Dennis D. and Cook, James R. and Greiner, Timothy C. and Fu, Kai and Ott, German and Delabie, Jan and Smeland, Erlend B. and Holte, Harald and Jaffe, Elaine S. and Steidl, Christian and Connors, Joseph M. and Gascoyne, Randy D. and Rosenwald, Andreas and Staudt, Louis M. and Campo, Elias and Rimsza, Lisa M.}, date = {2017-03-14}, journaltitle = {Journal of Clinical Oncology}, shortjournal = {JCO}, volume = {35}, number = {15}, pages = {1668--1677}, issn = {0732-183X}, doi = {10.1200/JCO.2016.70.7901}, url = {https://ascopubs.org/doi/full/10.1200/JCO.2016.70.7901}, urldate = {2019-12-21}, abstract = {PurposeMantle cell lymphoma is an aggressive B-cell neoplasm that displays heterogeneous outcomes after treatment. In 2003, the Lymphoma/Leukemia Molecular Profiling Project described a powerful biomarker—the proliferation signature—using gene expression in fresh frozen material. Herein, we describe the training and validation of a new assay that measures the proliferation signature in RNA derived from routinely available formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) biopsies.MethodsForty-seven FFPE biopsies were used to train an assay on the NanoString platform, using microarray gene expression data of matched fresh frozen biopsies as a gold standard. The locked assay was applied to pretreatment FFPE lymph node biopsies from an independent cohort of 110 patients uniformly treated with rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone. Seventeen biopsies were tested across three laboratories to assess assay reproducibility.ResultsThe MCL35 assay, which contained a 17-gene proliferation signature, yielded gene expression of sufficient quality to assign an assay score and risk group in 108 (98\%) of 110 archival FFPE biopsies. The MCL35 assay assigned patients to high-risk (26\%), standard-risk (29\%), and low-risk (45\%) groups, with different lengths of overall survival (OS): a median of 1.1, 2.6, and 8.6 years, respectively (log-rank for trend, P {$<$} .001). In multivariable analysis, these risk groups and the Mantle Cell Lymphoma International Prognostic Index were independently associated with OS (P {$<$} .001 for both variables). Concordance of risk assignment across the three independent laboratories was 100\%.ConclusionThe newly developed and validated MCL35 assay for FFPE biopsies uses the proliferation signature to define groups of patients with significantly different OS independent of the Mantle Cell Lymphoma International Prognostic Index. Importantly, the analytic and clinical validity of this assay defines it as a reliable biomarker to support risk-adapted clinical trials.} } @article{scruccaMclustClusteringClassification2016, title = {Mclust 5: {{Clustering}}, {{Classification}} and {{Density Estimation Using Gaussian Finite Mixture Models}}}, shorttitle = {Mclust 5}, author = {Scrucca, Luca and Fop, Michael and Murphy, T.

Conventional cytogenetics identifies some patients with rearrangements of MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 (double-hit lymphomas) who are increasingly treated with more intensive chemotherapy, but a more biologically coherent and clinically useful definition of this group is required.Patients and MethodsWe defined a molecular high-grade (MHG) group by applying a gene expression–based classifier to 928 patients with DLBCL from a clinical trial that investigated the addition of bortezomib to standard rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) therapy. The prognostic significance of MHG was compared with existing biomarkers. We performed targeted sequencing of 70 genes in 400 patients and explored molecular pathology using gene expression signature databases. Findings were validated in an independent data set.ResultsThe MHG group comprised 83 patients (9\%), with 75 in the cell-of-origin germinal center B-cell-like group. MYC rearranged and double-hit groups were strongly over-represented in MHG but comprised only one half of the total. Gene expression analysis revealed a proliferative phenotype with a relationship to centroblasts. Progression-free survival rate at 36 months after R-CHOP in the MHG group was 37\% (95\% CI, 24\% to 55\%) compared with 72\% (95\% CI, 68\% to 77\%) for others, and an analysis of treatment effects suggested a possible positive effect of bortezomib. Double-hit lymphomas lacking the MHG signature showed no evidence of worse outcome than other germinal center B-cell-like cases.ConclusionMHG defines a biologically coherent high-grade B-cell lymphoma group with distinct molecular features and clinical outcomes that effectively doubles the size of the poor-prognosis, double-hit group.

Village dogs are more genetically diverse and geographically widespread than purebred dogs making them vital for unraveling dog population history. Using a semicustom 185,805-marker genotyping array, we conducted a large-scale survey of autosomal, mitochondrial, and Y chromosome diversity in 4,676 purebred dogs from 161 breeds and 549 village dogs from 38 countries.

Transfer of these research classifiers into a clinical setting is challenging because there are competing classifiers in the literature based on different methodology and gene sets with no clear best choice; classifiers based on one expression measurement platform may not transfer effectively to another; and, classifiers developed using fresh frozen samples may not work effectively with the commonly used and more convenient formalin fixed paraffin-embedded samples used in routine diagnosis. Methods Here we thoroughly compared two published high profile classifiers developed on data from different Affymetrix array platforms and fresh-frozen tissue, examining their transferability and concordance. Based on this analysis, a new Burkitt and diffuse large B cell lymphoma classifier (BDC) was developed and employed on Illumina DASL data from our own paraffin-embedded samples, allowing comparison with the diagnosis made in a central haematopathology laboratory and evaluation of clinical relevance. Results We show that both previous classifiers can be recapitulated using very much smaller gene sets than originally employed, and that the classification result is closely dependent on the Burkitt lymphoma criteria applied in the training set. The BDC classification on our data exhibits high agreement (\textasciitilde 95 \%) with the original diagnosis. A simple outcome comparison in the patients presenting intermediate features on conventional criteria suggests that the cases classified as Burkitt lymphoma by BDC have worse response to standard diffuse large B cell lymphoma treatment than those classified as diffuse large B cell lymphoma.

Current methods for the detection of circulating tumour DNA involve sequencing somatic mutations using cell-free DNA, but the sensitivity of these methods may be low among patients with early-stage cancer given the limited number of recurrent mutations2-5. By contrast, large-scale epigenetic alterations-which are tissue- and cancer-type specific-are not similarly constrained6 and therefore potentially have greater ability to detect and classify cancers in patients with early-stage disease.

The RNA-binding protein hnRNP A1 (A1) was also critical to IL-6-stimulated translation. Because A1 shuttles between nucleus and cytoplasm, we investigated whether the ability of IL-6 to enhance Myc translation was mediated by stimulation of A1 shuttling. In MM cell lines and primary specimens, IL-6 increased A1 cytoplasmic localization. In contrast, there was no effect on the total cellular levels of A1. Use of a dominant negative A1 construct, which prevents endogenous A1 from nucleus-to-cytoplasm transit, prevented the ability of IL-6 to enhance Myc internal ribosome entry site activity, Myc protein expression, and MM cell growth. IL-6-stimulated cytoplasmic localization was mediated by alterations in the C-terminal M9 peptide of A1, and this correlated with the ability of IL-6 to induce serine phosphorylation of this domain. A p38 kinase inhibitor prevented IL-6-induced A1 phosphorylation. Thus, IL-6 activates c-Myc translation in MM cells by inducing A1 phosphorylation and cytoplasmic localization in a p38-dependent fashion.

To test a role for interleukin (IL)-6 in myc translation, we studied the IL-6–responsive ANBL-6 and IL-6–autocrine U266 cell lines as well as primary patient samples. IL-6 increased c-myc translation, which was resistant to rapamycin, indicating a mechanism independent of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and cap-dependent translation. In contrast, the cytokine enhanced cap-independent translation via a stimulatory effect on the myc internal ribosome entry site (IRES). As known IRES-trans–activating factors (ITAF) were unaffected by IL-6, we used a yeast-three-hybrid screen to identify novel ITAFs and identified hnRNP A1 (A1) as a mediator of the IL-6 effect. A1 specifically interacted with the myc IRES in filter binding assays as well as EMSAs. Treatment of myeloma cells with IL-6 induced serine phosphorylation of A1 and increased its binding to the myc IRES in vivo in myeloma cells. Primary patient samples also showed binding between A1 and the IRES. RNA interference to knock down hnRNP A1 prevented an IL-6 increase in myc protein expression, myc IRES activity, and cell growth. These data point to hnRNP A1 as a critical regulator of c-myc translation and a potential therapeutic target in multiple myeloma.

Depletion of PCBP1 is implicated in various carcinomas, but the underlying mechanism in tumorigenesis remains elusive. METHODS: We performed a transcriptome-wide screen to identify novel bounding mRNA of PCBP1. The bind regions between PCBP1 with target mRNA were investigated by using point mutation and luciferase assay. Cell proliferation, cell cycle, tumorigenesis and cell apoptosis were also evaluated in ovary and colon cancer cell lines. The mechanism that PCBP1 affects p27 was analyzed by mRNA stability and ribosome profiling assays. We analyzed PCBP1 and p27 expression in ovary, colon and renal tumor samples and adjacent non-tumor tissues using RT-PCR, Western Blotting and immunohistochemistry. The prognostic significance of PCBP1 and p27 also analyzed using online databases. RESULTS: We identified cell cycle inhibitor p27Kip1 (p27) as a novel PCBP1-bound transcript. We then demonstrated that binding of PCBP1 to p27 3'UTR via its KH1 domain mainly stabilizes p27 mRNA, while enhances its translation to fuel p27 expression, prior to p27 protein degradation. The upregulated p27 consequently inhibits cell proliferation, cell cycle progression and tumorigenesis, whereas promotes cell apoptosis under paclitaxel treatment. Conversely, knockdown of PCBP1 in turn compromises p27 mRNA stability, leading to lower p27 level and tumorigenesis in vivo. Moreover, forced depletion of p27 counteracts the tumor suppressive ability of PCBP1 in the same PCBP1 over-expressing cells. Physiologically, we showed that decreases of both p27 mRNA and its protein expressions are well correlated to PCBP1 depletion in ovary, colon and renal tumor samples, independent of the p27 ubiquitin ligase Skp2 level. Correlation of PCBP1 with p27 is also found in the tamoxifen, doxorubincin and lapatinib resistant breast cancer cells of GEO database. CONCLUSION: Our results thereby indicate that loss of PCBP1 expression firstly attenuates p27 expression at post-transcriptional level, and subsequently promotes carcinogenesis.

We have undertaken a population-based case/control study to assess the influence of genetic variation in ATM on the risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). A number of the subtypes that constitute NHL have in common the occurrence of specific somatic translocations that contribute to lymphomagenesis. We hypothesize that ATM function is slightly attenuated by some variants, which could reduce double-stranded break repair capacity, contributing to the occurrence of translocations and subsequent lymphomas. We sequenced the promoter and all exons of ATM in the germline DNA of 86 NHL patients and identified 79 variants. Eighteen of these variants correspond to nonsynonymous amino acid differences, 6 of which were predicted to be deleterious to protein function; these variants were all rare. Eleven common variants make up 10 haplotypes that are specified by 7 tagSNPs. Linkage disequilibrium across the ATM gene is high but incomplete. TagSNPs and the 6 putatively deleterious variants were genotyped in 798 NHL cases and 793 controls. Our results indicate that common variants of ATM do not significantly contribute to the risk of NHL in the general population.

However, its molecular functions have not been elucidated. Here we find that Xenopus laevis and human DAZAP1, which are each expressed as short and long forms, act as mRNA-specific activators of translation in a manner that is sensitive to the number of binding sites present within the 3' UTR. Domain mapping suggests that this conserved function is mainly associated with C-terminal regions of DAZAP1. Interestingly, we find that the expression of xDAZAP1 and its polysome association are developmentally controlled, the latter suggesting that the translational activator function of DAZAP1 is regulated. However, ERK phosphorylation of DAZAP1, which can alter protein interactions with its C terminus, does not play a role in regulating its ability to participate in translational complexes. Since relatively few mRNA-specific activators have been identified, we explored the mechanism by which DAZAP1 activates translation. By utilizing reporter mRNAs with internal ribosome entry sites, we establish that DAZAP1 stimulates translation initiation. Importantly, this activity is not dependent on the recognition of the 5' cap by initiation factors, showing that it functions downstream from this frequently regulated event, but is modulated by changes in the adenylation status of mRNAs. This suggests a function in the formation of "end-to-end" complexes, which are important for efficient initiation, which we show to be independent of a direct interaction with the bridging protein eIF4G.}, langid = {english}, pmcid = {PMC3138565}, keywords = {Amino Acid Sequence,Animals,Embryo Nonmammalian,Extracellular Signal-Regulated MAP Kinases,Gene Expression Regulation Developmental,Growth and Development,Humans,Male,Models Biological,Molecular Sequence Data,Oocytes,Phosphorylation,Protein Biosynthesis,RNA Messenger,RNA-Binding Proteins,Sequence Homology Amino Acid,Spermatogenesis,Xenopus laevis} } @article{smithPhosphodiesterasePDE4BLimits, title = {The Phosphodiesterase {{PDE4B}} Limits {{cAMP-associated PI3K}}/{{AKT-dependent}} Apoptosis in Diffuse Large {{B-cell}} Lymphoma}, author = {Smith, P G}, journaltitle = {Blood}, volume = {105}, number = {1}, pages = {308--316} } @article{smithPrevalenceCharacterisationTRAF32020, title = {The Prevalence and Characterisation of {{TRAF3}} and {{POT1}} Mutations in Canine {{B-cell}} Lymphoma}, author = {Smith, P.

The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of TRAF3 and POT1 mutations in a cohort of dogs with cBCL, compared to dogs with non-cBCL diseases (including four dogs with T-cell lymphoma [cTCL]). Forty-nine dogs were included (n = 24 cBCL; n = 25 non-cBCL). Eleven dogs had matched non-tumour DNA assessed to determine if mutations were germline or somatic. All dogs had TRAF3 and POT1 assessed by Sanger sequencing. The prevalence of deleterious TRAF3 and POT1 mutations in cBCL was 36\% and 17\%, respectively. A deleterious TRAF3 mutation was suspected to be germline in 1/5 cases with matched non-tumour DNA available for comparison. Deleterious mutations were not found in specimens from the non-cBCL group. Several synonymous variants were identified in both genes in cBCL and non-cBCL samples, which likely represent polymorphisms. These results indicate TRAF3 and POT1 mutations are common in cBCL. Deleterious TRAF3 and POT1 mutations were only identified in dogs with cBCL, and not in dogs with non-cBCL diseases, suggesting they are important in the pathogenesis of cBCL.

The association of the prospectively defined DCIS Score (calculated from seven cancer-related genes and five reference genes) with the risk of developing an IBE was analyzed using Cox regression. All statistical tests were two-sided. RESULTS: There were 327 patients with adequate tissue for analysis. The continuous DCIS Score was statistically significantly associated with the risk of developing an IBE (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.31, 95\% confidence interval [CI] = 1.15 to 4.49; P = .02) when adjusted for tamoxifen use (prespecified primary analysis) and with invasive IBE (unadjusted HR = 3.68, 95\% CI = 1.34 to 9.62; P = .01).

In 35 NMZL patients, 41 genes were found recurrently affected in ≥3 (9\%) cases, including highly prevalent molecular lesions of MLL2 (also known as KMT2D; 34\%), PTPRD (20\%), NOTCH2 (20\%), and KLF2 (17\%). Mutations of PTPRD, a receptor-type protein tyrosine phosphatase regulating cell growth, were enriched in NMZL across mature B-cell tumors, functionally caused the loss of the phosphatase activity of PTPRD, and were associated with cell-cycle transcriptional program deregulation and increased proliferation index in NMZL. Although NMZL shared with SMZL a common mutation profile, NMZL harbored PTPRD lesions that were otherwise absent in SMZL. Collectively, these findings provide new insights into the genetics of NMZL, identify PTPRD lesions as a novel marker for this lymphoma across mature B-cell tumors, and support the distinction of NMZL as an independent clinicopathologic entity within the current lymphoma classification.} } @article{stansfeldUpdatedKielClassification1988, title = {Updated {{Kiel}} Classification for Lymphomas}, author = {Stansfeld, A.

Previous studies have demonstrated that bortezomib inhibits tumor cell proliferation and induces apoptosis by blocking the nuclear factor (NF)-κB pathway. However, the exact mechanism by which bortezomib induces cancer cell apoptosis is still not well understood. In this study, we found that bortezomib significantly inhibited cell proliferation in both human Burkitt's lymphoma CA46 and Daudi cells. Through proteomic analysis, we found that bortezomib treatment changed the expression of various proteins in distinct functional categories including unfolding protein response (UPS), RNA processing, protein targeting and biosynthesis, apoptosis, and signal transduction. Among the proteins with altered expression, hnRNP K, hnRNP H, Hsp90α, Grp78, and Hsp7C were common to both Daudi and CA46 cells. Interestingly, bortezomib treatment downregulated the expression of high-molecular-weight (HMw) hnRNP K and c-Myc but upregulated the expression of low-molecular-weight (LMw) hnRNP K. Moreover, cell proliferation was significantly correlated with high expression of HMw hnRNP K and c-Myc. HMw and LMw hnRNP K were identified as sumoylated and desumoylated hnRNP K, respectively. Using transient transfection, we found that sumoylated hnRNP K increased c-Myc expression at the translational level and contributed to cell proliferation, and that Lys422 of hnRNP K is the candidate sumoylated residue. Our results suggest that besides inhibiting the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, bortezomib may inhibit cell proliferation by downregulating sumoylated hnRNP K and c-Myc expression in Burkitt's lymphoma cells.}, langid = {english}, pmcid = {PMC4694880}, keywords = {Antineoplastic Agents,Bortezomib,Burkitt Lymphoma,Burkitt’s lymphoma,c-Myc,Cell Line Tumor,Cell Proliferation,Electrophoresis Gel Two-Dimensional,Endoplasmic Reticulum Chaperone BiP,Gene Expression Regulation Neoplastic,Heterogeneous-Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein K,hnRNP K,Humans,Immunoblotting,Lysine,Mutation,Proteomics,Proto-Oncogene Proteins c-myc,Spectrometry Mass Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption-Ionization,sumoylation,Sumoylation} } @article{summersFrequencyBcl2IgH2001, title = {Frequency of the {{Bcl-2}}/{{IgH}} Rearrangement in Normal Individuals: Implications for the Monitoring of Disease in Patients with Follicular Lymphoma}, shorttitle = {Frequency of the {{Bcl-2}}/{{IgH}} Rearrangement in Normal Individuals}, author = {Summers, K.

METHODS Western blotting was used to assess the expression of HNRNPH1 protein in seven ESCC cell lines and 30 paired fresh tissue specimens. The subcellular localization of HNRNPH1 was determined by immunofluorescence in ESCC cells. The RNA sequencing data from 87 patients with ESCC were obtained from the cancer genome atlas (TCGA), and the expression and clinical characteristics analysis of different transcript variants of HNRNPH1 were evaluated in this dataset. In addition, immunohistochemistry was carried out to detect the expression of HNRNPH1 protein in 125 patients. RESULTS The expression of HNRNPH1 protein varied across different ESCC cell lines. It was exclusively restricted to the nucleus of the ESCC cells. There are two transcript variants of the HNRNPH1 gene. Variant 1 was constitutively expressed, and its expression did not change during tumorigenesis. In contrast, levels of variant 2 were low in non-tumorous tissues and were dramatically increased in ESCC (P = 0.0026). The high levels of variant 2 were associated with poorer differentiated tumors (P = 0.0287). Furthermore, in paired fresh tissue specimens, HNRNPH1 protein was overexpressed in 73.3\% (22/30) of neoplastic tissues. HNRNPH1 was significantly upregulated in ESCC, with strong staining in 43.2\% (54/125) of tumor tissues and 22.4\% (28/125) of matched non-cancerous tissues (P = 0.0005). Positive HNRNPH1 expression was significantly associated with poor tumor differentiation degree (P = 0.0337). CONCLUSION The different alternative transcript variants of HNRNPH1 exhibited different expression changes during tumorigenesis. Its mRNA and protein were overexpressed in ESCC and associated with poorer differentiation of tumor cells. These findings highlight the potential of HNRNPH1 in the therapy and diagnosis of ESCC.}, pmcid = {PMC4997634} } @article{svitkinControlTranslationMiRNADependent2013, title = {Control of {{Translation}} and {{miRNA-Dependent Repression}} by a {{Novel Poly}}({{A}}) {{Binding Protein}}, {{hnRNP-Q}}}, author = {Svitkin, Yuri V. and Yanagiya, Akiko and Karetnikov, Alexey E. and Alain, Tommy and Fabian, Marc R. and Khoutorsky, Arkady and Perreault, Sandra and Topisirovic, Ivan and Sonenberg, Nahum}, date = {2013-05-21}, journaltitle = {PLOS Biology}, shortjournal = {PLOS Biology}, volume = {11}, number = {5}, pages = {e1001564}, publisher = {Public Library of Science}, issn = {1545-7885}, doi = {10.1371/journal.pbio.1001564}, url = {https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.1001564}, urldate = {2022-09-27}, abstract = {The heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein Q2 competitively binds mRNA poly(A) tails to regulate translational and miRNA-related functions of PABP.}, langid = {english}, keywords = {Cross-linking,Immunoprecipitation,Messenger RNA,Protein synthesis,Protein translation,Ribosomes,RNA extraction,Translation initiation} } @article{svitkinGeneralRNABinding1996, title = {General {{RNA}} Binding Proteins Render Translation Cap Dependent}, author = {Svitkin, Y.

Those difficult times were followed by the regressive strictly morphologic NCI Working Formulation in 1982, with the REAL classification in 1994 putting us back on a rational path, once again grouping the lymphoid neoplasms first into those of B-cell and T- and putative NK-cell origin, and then using multiple parameters to define specific entities.

We sought to determine the overall extent of this feature in cancer and the possibility to use this feature to identify drivers. RESULTS: We have developed OncodriveCLUST, a method to identify genes with a significant bias towards mutation clustering within the protein sequence. This method constructs the background model by assessing coding-silent mutations, which are assumed not to be under positive selection and thus may reflect the baseline tendency of somatic mutations to be clustered. OncodriveCLUST analysis of the Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer retrieved a list of genes enriched by the Cancer Gene Census, prioritizing those with dominant phenotypes but also highlighting some recessive cancer genes, which showed wider but still delimited mutation clusters. Assessment of datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas demonstrated that OncodriveCLUST selected cancer genes that were nevertheless missed by methods based on frequency and functional impact criteria. This stressed the benefit of combining approaches based on complementary principles to identify driver mutations. We propose OncodriveCLUST as an effective tool for that purpose.

Complete response rates of 21\% have been observed for each agent when administered as long-term continuous therapy. Preclinical models predict synergy in combination. METHODS: We conducted a single-group, phase 2 study of daily oral ibrutinib and venetoclax in patients, as compared with historical controls. Patients commenced ibrutinib monotherapy at a dose of 560 mg per day. After 4 weeks, venetoclax was added in stepwise, weekly increasing doses to 400 mg per day. Both drugs were continued until progression or an unacceptable level of adverse events. The primary end point was the rate of complete response at week 16. Minimal residual disease (MRD) was assessed by flow cytometry in bone marrow and by allele-specific oligonucleotide-polymerase chain reaction (ASO-PCR) in blood. RESULTS: The study included 24 patients with relapsed or refractory mantle-cell lymphoma (23 patients) or previously untreated mantle-cell lymphoma (1 patient). Patients were 47 to 81 years of age, and the number of previous treatments ranged from none to six. Half the patients had aberrations of TP53, and 75\% had a high-risk prognostic score. The complete response rate according to computed tomography at week 16 was 42\%, which was higher than the historical result of 9\% at this time point with ibrutinib monotherapy (P{$<$}0.001). The rate of complete response as assessed by positron-emission tomography was 62\% at week 16 and 71\% overall. MRD clearance was confirmed by flow cytometry in 67\% of the patients and by ASO-PCR in 38\%. In a time-to-event analysis, 78\% of the patients with a response were estimated to have an ongoing response at 15 months. The tumor lysis syndrome occurred in 2 patients.

The bc12 gene product is a membrane-associated mitochondrial protein that regulates cell survival through unknown mechanisms. Although overproduction of the normal protein appears sufficient for conferring a selective growth or survival advantage to B cells, point mutations that alter the coding region of translocated bc12 genes have been described previously by others in a lymphoma cell line. However, it is not known whether somatic mutations that alter BCL2 proteins occur in vivo or whether they result from chemotherapy or arise through other mechanisms. For these reasons, we obtained DNA from the t(14;18)-containing tumors of five patients who had not undergone treatment for their disease, and used a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-mismatch technique for rapid identification of point mutations in a portion of the bc12 open reading frame (ORF) corresponding to the first 131 aminoacids (aa) of the 239 aa p26 BCL2 protein. DNAs from two t(14;18)-containing cell lines were also analyzed. Point mutations in this region of the bc12 gene ORF were detected in three of five patients' tumors and in both cell lines. PCR-mismatch analysis of bc12 in cell lines and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma cases that lacked the t(14;18) translocation was negative, thus establishing the specificity of these results. DNA sequencing determined that these mutations are predicted to produce aa substitutions in the BCL2 proteins of two of the primary tumors and one of the cell lines. Interestingly, two of the patients contained an identical C----T transition that resulted in a nonconservative aa substitution (proline----serine) at position 59 of the BCL2 protein. Further analysis excluded the possibility that these mutations represented hereditary polymorphisms or PCR artifacts. A cluster of four point mutations within the translocation + bc12 allele of one patient had hallmarks of the somatic hypermutation mechanism that is associated with Ig genes and that contributes to antibody diversity. Because of the region of the bcl2 gene analyzed in these t(14;18) translocations is located nearly 300 kbp from the Ig heavy-chain locus, our data suggest that the Ig gene somatic hypermutation mechanism can act over extreme distances of DNA. It remains to be established whether these somatic mutations that alter BCL2 proteins influence the pathobiology of nonHodgkin's lymphomas.}, langid = {english}, keywords = {Base Sequence,Chromosomes Human Pair 14,Chromosomes Human Pair 18,DNA Neoplasm,Humans,Lymphoma Non-Hodgkin,Molecular Sequence Data,Mutation,Polymerase Chain Reaction,Proto-Oncogene Mas,Proto-Oncogene Proteins,Proto-Oncogene Proteins c-bcl-2,Translocation Genetic,Tumor Cells Cultured} } @article{tangHnRNPA2B1PromotesColon2021, title = {{{hnRNPA2B1 Promotes Colon Cancer Progression}} via the {{MAPK Pathway}}}, author = {Tang, Jingzhi and Chen, Zhimin and Wang, Qi and Hao, Weijie and Gao, Wei-Qiang and Xu, Huiming}, date = {2021}, journaltitle = {Frontiers in Genetics}, volume = {12}, issn = {1664-8021}, url = {https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fgene.2021.666451}, urldate = {2022-10-04}, abstract = {HNRNPA2B1, an RNA-binding protein, plays a key role in primary microRNA processing, alternative splicing, mRNA metabolism and transport.

In this study, we aimed to elucidate the biological functions of hnRNPA2B1 and to explore its underlying mechanisms in colon cancer. We examined the expression of hnRNPA2B1 in Oncomine and TCGA databases. Then verified the findings in colon cancer cells and clinical samples with western blotting and immunohistochemistry (IHC). We used CRISPR/Cas9 directed gene editing to knockout hnRNPA2B1 expression in human colon cancer cell line SW480 and HCT-116 and carried out both in vivo and in vitro experiments. The results were further confirmed by RNA-seq analyses. We found that hnRNPA2B1 significantly promoted colon cancer cell proliferation both in vitro and in vivo, while knockout of hnRNPA2B1 induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in SW480. RNA-seq analyses revealed that the ERK/MAPK pathway was activated by hnRNPA2B1 upregulation. In addition, both hnRNPA2B1 and MAPK pathway were activated in clinical colon cancer specimens and positively correlated. Mechanistically, hnRNPA2B1 appeared to be an upstream regulator of the ERK/MAPK pathway and inhibition of MAPK signaling blocked the effects of hnRNPA2B1. Taken together, our data demonstrated that the RNA-binding protein hnRNPA2B1 promotes cell proliferation and regulates cell cycle and apoptosis of human colon cancer by activating the ERK/MAPK signaling, which may provide a new insight into the development of hnRNPA2B1 as a potential therapeutic target for treatment of colon cancer.} } @article{tangIDogIntegratedResource2019, title = {{{iDog}}: An Integrated Resource for Domestic Dogs and Wild Canids}, shorttitle = {{{iDog}}}, author = {Tang, Bixia and Zhou, Qing and Dong, Lili and Li, Wulue and Zhang, Xiangquan and Lan, Li and Zhai, Shuang and Xiao, Jingfa and Zhang, Zhang and Bao, Yiming and Zhang, Ya-Ping and Wang, Guo-Dong and Zhao, Wenming}, date = {2019-01-08}, journaltitle = {Nucleic Acids Research}, shortjournal = {Nucleic Acids Research}, volume = {47}, number = {D1}, pages = {D793-D800}, issn = {0305-1048}, doi = {10.1093/nar/gky1041}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gky1041}, urldate = {2021-05-13}, abstract = {The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) is indisputably one of man's best friends.

Next, we applied a newly developed multiplex assay for p53/ATM target gene induction and measured apoptotic responses to DNA damage.

In sole SF3B1 mutated cases, ATM kinase function remained intact, and γH2AX formation, a marker for DNA damage, was increased at baseline and upon irradiation.

Unexpectedly, we identified 2 molecular subgroups of cHL associated with differential strengths of the transcription factor activity of the NOTCH1, MYC, and IRF4 proto-oncogenes.

METHODS: We searched for HCL-associated mutations by performing massively parallel sequencing of the whole exome of leukemic and matched normal cells purified from the peripheral blood of an index patient with HCL. Findings were validated by Sanger sequencing in 47 additional patients with HCL. RESULTS: Whole-exome sequencing identified five missense somatic clonal mutations that were confirmed on Sanger sequencing, including a heterozygous mutation in BRAF that results in the BRAF V600E variant protein. Since BRAF V600E is oncogenic in other tumors, further analyses were focused on this genetic lesion. The same BRAF mutation was noted in all the other 47 patients with HCL who were evaluated by means of Sanger sequencing. None of the 195 patients with other peripheral B-cell lymphomas or leukemias who were evaluated carried the BRAF V600E variant, including 38 patients with splenic marginal-zone lymphomas or unclassifiable splenic lymphomas or leukemias. In immunohistologic and Western blot studies, HCL cells expressed phosphorylated MEK and ERK (the downstream targets of the BRAF kinase), indicating a constitutive activation of the RAF-MEK-ERK mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway in HCL. In vitro incubation of BRAF-mutated primary leukemic hairy cells from 5 patients with PLX-4720, a specific inhibitor of active BRAF, led to a marked decrease in phosphorylated ERK and MEK. CONCLUSIONS; The BRAF V600E mutation was present in all patients with HCL who were evaluated. This finding may have implications for the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and targeted therapy of HCL.

However, only 60\% of patients are cured with R-CHOP. Polatuzumab vedotin is an antibody-drug conjugate targeting CD79b, which is ubiquitously expressed on the surface of malignant B cells. METHODS: We conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled, international phase 3 trial to evaluate a modified regimen of R-CHOP (pola-R-CHP), in which vincristine was replaced with polatuzumab vedotin, as compared with standard R-CHOP, in patients with previously untreated intermediate-risk or high-risk DLBCL. Patients 18 to 80 years of age were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive six cycles of either pola-R-CHP or R-CHOP, plus two cycles of rituximab alone. The primary end point was investigator-assessed progression-free survival. Secondary end points included overall survival and safety. RESULTS: Overall, 879 patients underwent randomization: 440 were assigned to the pola-R-CHP group and 439 to the R-CHOP group. After a median follow-up of 28.2 months, the percentage of patients surviving without progression was significantly higher in the pola-R-CHP group than in the R-CHOP group (76.7\% [95\% confidence interval (CI), 72.7 to 80.8] vs. 70.2\% [95\% CI, 65.8 to 74.6] at 2 years; stratified hazard ratio for progression, relapse, or death, 0.73 by Cox regression; 95\% CI, 0.57 to 0.95; P\,=\,0.02). Overall survival at 2 years did not differ significantly between the groups (88.7\% [95\% CI, 85.7 to 91.6] in the pola-R-CHP group and 88.6\% [95\% CI, 85.6 to 91.6] in the R-CHOP group; hazard ratio for death, 0.94; 95\% CI, 0.65 to 1.37; P\,=\,0.75). The safety profile was similar in the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with previously untreated intermediate-risk or high-risk DLBCL, the risk of disease progression, relapse, or death was lower among those who received pola-R-CHP than among those who received R-CHOP.

Such AS events often take place within long, conserved sequence elements, particularly in genes encoding various RNA binding proteins. AS-NMD is often activated by the protein encoded by the same gene, leading to a self-regulating feedback loop that maintains constant protein levels. However, cross-regulation between different RNA binding proteins is also common, giving rise to finely tuned regulatory networks. Recently, we described a feedback mechanism regulating two protein components of the U12-dependent spliceosome (U11-48K and U11/U12-65K) through a highly conserved sequence element. These elements contain a U11 snRNP-binding splicing enhancer (USSE), which, through the U11 snRNP, activates an upstream U2-type 3'ss, resulting in the degradation of the U11-48K mRNA by AS-NMD. Through phylogenetic analysis, we now identify a G-rich sequence element that is conserved in fishes as well as mammals. We show that this element binds hnRNPF/H proteins in vitro. Knockdown of hnRNPH1/H2 or mutations in the G-run both lead to enhanced activation of the 3'ss in vivo, suggesting that hnRNPH1/H2 proteins counteract the 3'ss activation. Furthermore, we provide evidence that U1 binding immediately downstream from the G-run similarly counteracts the U11-mediated activation of the alternative 3'ss. Thus, our results elucidate the mechanism in which snRNPs from both spliceosomes together with hnRNPH1/H2 proteins regulate the recognition and activation of the highly conserved alternative splice sites within the U11-48K pre-mRNA.}, langid = {english}, pmcid = {PMC3677248}, keywords = {Amino Acid Sequence,Animals,Binding Sites,HEK293 Cells,HeLa Cells,Humans,Ribonucleoprotein U1 Small Nuclear,Ribonucleoproteins Small Nuclear,RNA Heterogeneous Nuclear,RNA Precursors,RNA Splicing,RNA Stability,Spliceosomes} } @article{tzankovPrognosticImmunophenotypicBiomarker2010, title = {Prognostic Immunophenotypic Biomarker Studies in Diffuse Large {{B}} Cell Lymphoma with Special Emphasis on Rational Determination of Cut-off Scores.}, author = {Tzankov, Alexandar and Zlobec, Inti and Went, Philip and Robl, Hannes and Hoeller, Sylvia and Dirnhofer, Stephan}, date = {2010-02}, journaltitle = {Leuk lymphoma}, volume = {51}, number = {2}, pages = {199--212} } @article{ullrichDynamicChangesIntron2020, title = {Dynamic Changes in Intron Retention Are Tightly Associated with Regulation of Splicing Factors and Proliferative Activity during {{B-cell}} Development}, author = {Ullrich, Sebastian and Guigó, Roderic}, date = {2020-02-20}, journaltitle = {Nucleic Acids Research}, shortjournal = {Nucleic Acids Research}, volume = {48}, number = {3}, pages = {1327--1340}, issn = {0305-1048}, doi = {10.1093/nar/gkz1180}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkz1180}, urldate = {2022-10-03}, abstract = {Intron retention (IR) has been proposed to modulate the delay between transcription and translation.

During B-cell differentiation, we found an increase in IR from the bone marrow precursors to cells residing in secondary lymphoid organs. B-cells that undergo affinity maturation to become antibody producing plasma cells steadily decrease retention. In general, we found an inverse relationship between global IR levels and both the proliferative state of cells, and the global levels of expression of splicing factors. IR dynamics during B-cell differentiation appear to be conserved between human and mouse, suggesting that IR plays an important biological role, evolutionary conserved, during blood cell differentiation. By correlating the expression of non-core splicing factors with global IR levels, and analyzing RNA binding protein knockdown and eCLIP data, we identify a few splicing factors likely playing an evolutionary conserved role in IR regulation.

A variety of genome wide studies have taken advantage of methods like CLIP and RIP to identify the targets and binding sites of RNA binding proteins. However, due to the complex nature of RNA-binding proteins, these studies are incomplete without assays that characterize the impact of RBP binding on mRNA target expression. Here we used a suite of high-throughput approaches (RIP-Seq, iCLIP, RNA-Seq and shotgun proteomics) to provide a comprehensive view of hnRNP H1s ensemble of targets and its role in splicing, mRNA decay, and translation. The combination of RIP-Seq and iCLIP allowed us to identify a set of 1,086 high confidence target transcripts. Binding site motif analysis of these targets suggests the TGGG tetramer as a prevalent component of hnRNP H1 binding motif, with particular enrichment around intronic hnRNP H1 sites. Our analysis of the target transcripts and binding sites indicates that hnRNP H1s involvement in splicing is 2-fold: it directly affects a substantial number of splicing events, but also regulates the expression of major components of the splicing machinery and other RBPs with known roles in splicing regulation.

Both the insertion breakpoint at 14q32 and the deletion breakpoint at 18q21 were cloned using inverse polymerase chain reaction. Sequence analysis showed that the JH sequences were juxtaposed to the 5′-side of BCL2, and the DH sequences were juxtaposed to the 3′-side of BCL2. There were breakpoints at both the JH and DH recombination signal sequences, and N-nucleotides were present at all breakpoint junctions. At theBCL2 locus, the 3′-breakpoints in both cases were localized at exactly the same nucleotide position, 6.2 kilobase downstream of the major breakpoint region, directly adjacent to a complete cryptic recombination signal sequence (RSS) consisting of a heptamer, a nonamer, and a 23–base pair (bp) spacer. The BCL25′-breakpoints were approximately 600 bp upstream of the gene, within the CA repeats. Although less evident than for the BCL23′-breakpoints, cryptic RSSs were also identified at these breakpoints, with a 12-bp spacer. On the basis of structural characteristics of these rearrangements, a model is proposed in which the BCL2 gene is deleted from its locus by recombination activation gene-1/-2 (RAG-1/-2)–mediated excision. The gene is subsequently inserted into the recombiningIGH locus, a process involving the formation of hybrid joints between the IGH coding ends and theBCL2 signal ends.} } @article{valliClassificationCanineMalignant2011, title = {Classification of {{Canine Malignant Lymphomas According}} to the {{World Health Organization Criteria}}}, author = {Valli, V.

METHODS AND RESULTS: Nodal marginal zone lymphomas were diagnosed according to strict criteria, including the expression of at least one putative marginal zone marker (MNDA and/or IRTA1). Cases that showed features of NMZL but did not fulfil all criteria were included as BCL-u. All FLs were required to have a BCL2 rearrangement. Mutations were found in: nine NMZLs, with recurrent mutations in TNFAIP3 and CD79B; 12 FLs, with recurrent mutations in TNFRSF14, TNFAIP3, and CARD11; and five cases of BCL-u, with recurrent mutations in TNFRSF14. TNFRSF14 mutations were present in FL and BCL-u, but not in any of the NMZLs. In the BCL-u group, TNFRSF14 mutations clustered with a FL immunophenotype. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that TNFRSF14 mutations point towards a diagnosis of FL, and can be used in the sometimes difficult distinction between NMZL and FL, but to apply this in diagnostics would require confirmation in an independent cohort.

Heterozygous genetic lesions in DDX3X mediate a class of developmental disorders called DDX3X syndrome, while loss of DDX3Y is implicated in male infertility. One possible explanation for female-bias in DDX3X syndrome is that DDX3Y encodes a polypeptide with different biochemical activity. In this study, we use ribosome profiling and in vitro translation to demonstrate that the X- and Y-linked paralogs of DDX3 play functionally redundant roles in translation. We find that transcripts that are sensitive to DDX3X depletion or mutation are rescued by complementation with DDX3Y. Our data indicate that DDX3X and DDX3Y proteins can functionally complement each other in the context of mRNA translation in human cells.

Diagnosis Diagnosis is based on lymph node, bone marrow, or tissue morphology of centrocytic lymphocytes, small cell type, or blastoid variant cells. A chromosomal translocation t (11:14) is the molecular hallmark of MCL, resulting in the overexpression of cyclin D1. Cyclin D1 is detected by immunohistochemistry in 98\% of cases. The absence of SOX-11 or a low Ki-67 may correlate with a more indolent form of MCL. The differential diagnosis of MCL includes small lymphocytic lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma, and follicular lymphoma. Risk Stratification The MCL International Prognostic Index (MIPI) is the prognostic model most often used and incorporates ECOG performance status, age, leukocyte count, and lactic dehydrogenase. A modification of the MIPI also adds the Ki-67 proliferative index if available. The median OS for the low-risk group was not reached (5-year OS of 60\%). The median OS for the intermediate risk group was 51 months and 29 months for the high risk group. Risk-Adapted Therapy For selected indolent, low MIPI MCL patients, initial observation may be appropriate therapy. For younger patients with intermediate or high risk MIPI MCL, aggressive therapy with a cytotoxic Regimen followed by autologous stem cell transplantation should be considered. Rituximab maintenance after autologous stem cell transplantation has also improved the progression-free and overall survival. For older symptomatic MCL patients with intermediate or high risk MIPI, combination chemotherapy with R-CHOP, R-Bendamustine, or a clinical trial should be considered. In addition, rituximab maintenance therapy may prolong the progression-free survival. At the time of relapse, agents directed at activated pathways in MCL cells such as bortezomib (NFkB inhibitor), lenalidamide (anti-angiogenesis) and Ibruitinib (Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase [BTK] inhibitor) have demonstrated excellent clinical activity in MCL patients. Autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplantation can also be considered in young patients.

Phosphorylation of the protein alters its regulatory function, which also enables the protein to serve as a docking platform for the signal transduction proteins. In terms of the function of hnRNPK, it is central to many cellular events, including long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) regulation, cancer development and bone homoeostasis. Many studies have identified hnRNPK as an oncogene, where it is overexpressed in cancer tissues compared with the nonneoplastic tissues and its expression level is related to the prognosis of different types of host malignancies. However, hnRNPK has also been identified as a tumour suppressor, as it is important for the activation of the p53/p21 pathway. Recently, the protein is also found to be exclusively related to the regulation of paraspeckles and lncRNAs such as Neat1, Lncenc1 and Xist.

Cumulative incidences of late DLBCL and indolent lymphoma relapses were analyzed as competing events. Postrelapse survival was defined as time from first relapse to death from any cause. RESULTS: In 847 patients who achieved EFS24, the cumulative incidence of late relapse was 6.9\% at 3 years, 9.3\% at 5 years, and 10.3\% at 8 years after EFS24. The incidence of DLBCL relapse was similar in patients with DLBCL alone at diagnosis (6.3\% at 5 years), compared with patients with concurrent indolent lymphoma at diagnosis (5.2\%; P = .46).

In patients with DLBCL alone, the rate of DLBCL relapse was similar in the germinal center B-cell-like (GCB) (4.1\% at 5 years) and non-GCB (4.0\%; P = .71) subtypes, whereas the rate of indolent lymphoma relapse was higher in patients with the GCB subtype (3.9\% v 0.0\% at 5 years; P = .02). Postrelapse survival was inferior for patients who relapsed with DLBCL than for those who relapsed with indolent lymphoma (median 29.9 months v unreached; P {$<$} .01). CONCLUSION: Patients with DLBCL with a concurrent indolent lymphoma and those with the GCB subtype had a higher rate of late relapse, owing to increased relapses with indolent lymphoma. Patients who relapsed with DLBCL had a worse prognosis than those who relapsed with indolent lymphoma.}, langid = {english}, pmcid = {PMC7001527}, keywords = {Adult,Aged,Aged 80 and over,Female,Humans,Immunotherapy,Lymphoma Large B-Cell Diffuse,Male,Middle Aged,Neoplasm Recurrence Local,Progression-Free Survival,Prospective Studies} } @article{wangNovelPreclinicalModel2019, title = {A Novel Preclinical Model of Cholangiocarcinoma Based on Human Aberrant {{FBXW7}} Expression.}, author = {Wang, Jingxiao and Wang, Haichuan and Peters, Michele and Ding, Ning and Ribback, Silvia and Utpatel, Kirsten and Evert, Matthias and Cigliano, Antonio and Dombrowski, Frank and Song, Xinhua and Cossu, Antonio and Xu, Meng and Che, Li and Gordan, John Dozier and Calvisi, Diego and Chen, Xin}, date = {2019-05-20}, journaltitle = {Journal of Clinical Oncology}, shortjournal = {JCO}, volume = {37}, pages = {e15624-e15624}, publisher = {Wolters Kluwer}, issn = {0732-183X}, doi = {10.1200/JCO.2019.37.15_suppl.e15624}, url = {https://ascopubs.org/doi/abs/10.1200/JCO.2019.37.15_suppl.e15624}, urldate = {2021-09-24}, abstract = {e15624 Background: Pre-clinical models that mimic human genetic events occurring in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) are limited. The ubiquitin ligase F-box and WD repeat domain-containing 7 (FBXW7) is recognized as a tumor suppressor in many cancer types. Methods: Firstly, we determined the FBXW7 mutation frequency (n = 120) and mRNA expression (n = 87) in a collection of human iCCA. Based on the preliminary findings in human data, we generated a mouse model by hydrodynamic tail vein injection of activated/myristylated (myr-)AKT with Fbxw7ΔF, a dominant negative form of Fbxw7. Subsequently, we investigated the role of established targets of Fbxw7, namely Notch2, Yap, and c-Myc in this novel mouse model and in human CCA cell lines. Results: FBXW7 mRNA expression is almost ubiquitously downregulated (71/82; 86.6\%) in human iCCA specimens, while only 0.8\% of samples showed FBXW7 somatic mutations. In vivo, co-expression of AKT and Fbxw7ΔF triggered the development of iCCA lesions and mice were euthanized by 15 weeks post-injection due to high tumor burden. At the molecular level, a strong induction of FBXW7 canonical targets, including Yap, Notch2, and c-Myc oncoproteins, was detected. However, only c-Myc was consistently confirmed as a FBXW7 target in human CCA cell lines. Interestingly, selected ablation of c-Myc completely impaired iCCA formation in AKT/Fbxw7ΔF mice, whereas deletion of either Yap or Notch2 delayed cholangiocarcinogenesis in the same model. Furthermore, in human iCCA specimens, a strong, inverse correlation between the expression levels of FBXW7 and c-Myc was observed. Conclusions: Downregulation of FBXW7 is almost ubiquitous in human iCCA and cooperates with AKT to induce cholangiocarcinogenesis in mice. This pre-clinical mouse model could be used to test novel therapeutics targeting c-Myc, Notch2, and/or Yap.}, issue = {15\_suppl} } @article{wangOutSouthernEast2016, title = {Out of Southern {{East Asia}}: The Natural History of Domestic Dogs across the World}, shorttitle = {Out of Southern {{East Asia}}}, author = {Wang, Guo-Dong and Zhai, Weiwei and Yang, He-Chuan and Wang, Lu and Zhong, Li and Liu, Yan-Hu and Fan, Ruo-Xi and Yin, Ting-Ting and Zhu, Chun-Ling and Poyarkov, Andrei D. and Irwin, David M. and Hytönen, Marjo K. and Lohi, Hannes and Wu, Chung-I. and Savolainen, Peter and Zhang, Ya-Ping}, date = {2016-01}, journaltitle = {Cell Research}, volume = {26}, number = {1}, pages = {21--33}, issn = {1748-7838}, doi = {10.1038/cr.2015.147}, url = {https://www.nature.com/articles/cr2015147}, urldate = {2018-10-25}, abstract = {The origin and evolution of the domestic dog remains a controversial question for the scientific community, with basic aspects such as the place and date of origin, and the number of times dogs were domesticated, open to dispute.

METHODS: We obtained DNA samples from leukemia cells in 91 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and performed massively parallel sequencing of 88 whole exomes and whole genomes, together with sequencing of matched germline DNA, to characterize the spectrum of somatic mutations in this disease. RESULTS: Nine genes that are mutated at significant frequencies were identified, including four with established roles in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (TP53 in 15\% of patients, ATM in 9\%, MYD88 in 10\%, and NOTCH1 in 4\%) and five with unestablished roles (SF3B1, ZMYM3, MAPK1, FBXW7, and DDX3X). SF3B1, which functions at the catalytic core of the spliceosome, was the second most frequently mutated gene (with mutations occurring in 15\% of patients). SF3B1 mutations occurred primarily in tumors with deletions in chromosome 11q, which are associated with a poor prognosis in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. We further discovered that tumor samples with mutations in SF3B1 had alterations in pre-messenger RNA (mRNA) splicing.

The function and the mechanism of action of hnRNPs is still not fully understood, but the identification of RNA binding domains and RNA binding specificities, and the development of new functional assays, has stimulated interest in them. In contrast to previous models that hypothesised a mere structural (histone-like) function, a more diversified and dynamic role for these proteins is now emerging. In fact, they can be viewed as a subset of the trans-acting pre-mRNA maturation factors. They might actively participate in post-transcriptional events such as regulated splicing and mRNA export.

HRS cells exhibit near-universal somatic copy gains of chromosome 9p/9p24.1, which increase expression of the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) ligands. To define genetic mechanisms of response and resistance to PD-1 blockade and identify complementary treatment targets, we performed whole-exome sequencing of flow cytometry-sorted HRS cells from 23 excisional biopsies of newly diagnosed cHLs, including 8 Epstein-Barr virus-positive (EBV+) tumors. We identified significantly mutated cancer candidate genes (CCGs) as well as somatic copy number alterations and structural variations and characterized their contribution to disease-defining immune evasion mechanisms and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), JAK/STAT, and PI3K signaling pathways. EBV- cHLs had a higher prevalence of genetic alterations in the NF-κB and major histocompatibility complex class I antigen presentation pathways. In this young cHL cohort (median age, 26 years), we identified a predominant mutational signature of spontaneous deamination of cytosine- phosphate-guanines ("Aging"), in addition to apolipoprotein B mRNA editing catalytic polypeptide-like, activation-induced cytidine deaminase, and microsatellite instability (MSI)-associated hypermutation. In particular, the mutational burden in EBV- cHLs was among the highest reported, similar to that of carcinogen-induced tumors. Together, the overall high mutational burden, MSI-associated hypermutation, and newly identified genetic alterations represent additional potential bases for the efficacy of PD-1 blockade in cHL. Of note, recurrent cHL alterations, including B2M, TNFAIP3, STAT6, GNA13, and XPO1 mutations and 2p/2p15, 6p21.32, 6q23.3, and 9p/9p24.1 copy number alterations, were also identified in {$>$}20\% of primary mediastinal B-cell lymphomas, highlighting shared pathogenetic mechanisms in these diseases.}, langid = {english}, pmcid = {PMC6963251}, keywords = {Adult,Genomics,Humans,Immune Evasion,Reed-Sternberg Cells} } @article{wiestnerPointMutationsGenomic2007, title = {Point Mutations and Genomic Deletions in {{CCND1}} Create Stable Truncated Cyclin {{D1 mRNAs}} That Are Associated with Increased Proliferation Rate and Shorter Survival}, author = {Wiestner, Adrian and Tehrani, Mahsa and Chiorazzi, Michael and Wright, George and Gibellini, Federica and Nakayama, Kazutaka and Liu, Hui and Rosenwald, Andreas and Muller-Hermelink, H.

ILEI expression levels are regulated through a non-canonical TGFβ signaling pathway by 3’-UTR-mediated translational silencing at the mRNA level by hnRNP E1. TGFβ stimulation or silencing of hnRNP E1 increases ILEI translation and induces an EMT program that correlates to enhanced invasion and migration. Recently, EMT has been linked to the formation of breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) that confer both tumor cell heterogeneity as well as chemoresistant properties. Herein, we demonstrate that hnRNP E1 knockdown significantly shifts normal mammary epithelial cells to mesenchymal BCSCs in vitro and in vivo. We further validate that modulating ILEI protein levels results in the abrogation of these phenotypes, promoting further investigation into the unknown mechanism of ILEI signaling that drives tumor progression. We identify LIFR as the receptor for ILEI, which mediates signaling through STAT3 to drive both EMT and BCSC formation. Reduction of either ILEI or LIFR protein levels results in reduced tumor growth, fewer tumor initiating cells and reduced metastasis within the hnRNP E1 knock-down cell populations in vivo.

By univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression (CPHR) methods, six RBPs‐related genes (CMSS1, MAEL, THOC5, PSIP1, SNIP1, and ZCCHC7) were identified closely related to the overall survival (OS) of DLBCL patients.

However, there still exists considerable discrepancy on gene expression measurements and DEG results between the two platforms. The objective of this study was to compare parallel paired-end RNA-Seq and microarray data generated on 5-azadeoxy-cytidine (5-Aza) treated HT-29 colon cancer cells with an additional simulation study. METHODS: We first performed general correlation analysis comparing gene expression profiles on both platforms. An Errors-In-Variables (EIV) regression model was subsequently applied to assess proportional and fixed biases between the two technologies. Then several existing algorithms, designed for DEG identification in RNA-Seq and microarray data, were applied to compare the cross-platform overlaps with respect to DEG lists, which were further validated using qRT-PCR assays on selected genes. Functional analyses were subsequently conducted using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA). RESULTS: Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients between the RNA-Seq and microarray data each exceeded 0.80, with 66\%\textasciitilde 68\% overlap of genes on both platforms. The EIV regression model indicated the existence of both fixed and proportional biases between the two platforms. The DESeq and baySeq algorithms (RNA-Seq) and the SAM and eBayes algorithms (microarray) achieved the highest cross-platform overlap rate in DEG results from both experimental and simulated datasets. DESeq method exhibited a better control on the false discovery rate than baySeq on the simulated dataset although it performed slightly inferior to baySeq in the sensitivity test. RNA-Seq and qRT-PCR, but not microarray data, confirmed the expected reversal of SPARC gene suppression after treating HT-29 cells with 5-Aza. Thirty-three IPA canonical pathways were identified by both microarray and RNA-Seq data, 152 pathways by RNA-Seq data only, and none by microarray data only. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that RNA-Seq has advantages over microarray in identification of DEGs with the most consistent results generated from DESeq and SAM methods. The EIV regression model reveals both fixed and proportional biases between RNA-Seq and microarray.

Transcription of IkappaBzeta is rapidly induced by stimulation with TLR ligands and interleukin-1 (IL-1). Here we show that IkappaBzeta is indispensable for the expression of a subset of genes activated in TLR/IL-1R signalling pathways. IkappaBzeta-deficient cells show severe impairment of IL-6 production in response to a variety of TLR ligands as well as IL-1, but not in response to tumour-necrosis factor-alpha. Endogenous IkappaBzeta specifically associates with the p50 subunit of NF-kappaB, and is recruited to the NF-kappaB binding site of the IL-6 promoter on stimulation. Moreover, NF-kappaB1/p50-deficient mice show responses to TLR/IL-1R ligands similar to those of IkappaBzeta-deficient mice. Endotoxin-induced expression of other genes such as Il12b and Csf2 is also abrogated in IkappaBzeta-deficient macrophages.

The induction of IκB-ζ is also observed by stimulation with interleukin-1β but not by tumor necrosis factor-α. In contrast to cytosolic IκB-α, -β, and -ε, the induced IκB-ζ localizes in the nucleus via its amino-terminal region, which shows no homology with other proteins. Transiently expressed IκB-ζ inhibits the NF-κB activity without affecting the nuclear translocation of NF-κB upon stimulation. The expressed IκB-ζ preferentially associates with the NF-κB subunit p50 rather than p65 and recombinant IκB-ζ proteins inhibit the DNA binding of the p65/p50 heterodimer and the p50/p50 homodimer. Thus, IκB-ζ negatively regulates NF-κB activity in the nucleus, possibly in order to prevent excessive inflammation. Moreover, transfection of IκB-ζ renders cells more susceptible to apoptosis induced by tumor necrosis factor-α.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanistic role and assess clinical utility of the splicing factor heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein H1 (hnRNP H1) in prostate cancer progression among AA men.Experimental Design: We employed an unbiased functional genomics approach coupled with suppressive subtractive hybridization (SSH) and custom cDNA microarrays to identify differentially expressed genes in microdissected tumors procured from age- and tumor grade–matched AA and Caucasian American (CA) men. Validation analysis was performed in independent cohorts and tissue microarrays. The underlying mechanisms of hnRNPH1 regulation and its impact on androgen receptor (AR) expression and tumor progression were explored.Results: Aberrant coexpression of AR and hnRNPH1 and downregulation of miR-212 were detected in prostate tumors and correlate with disease progression in AA men compared with CA men. Ectopic expression of miR-212 mimics downregulated hnRNPH1 transcripts, which in turn reduced expression of AR and its splice variant AR-V7 (or AR3) in prostate cancer cells. hnRNPH1 physically interacts with AR and steroid receptor coactivator-3 (SRC-3) and primes activation of androgen-regulated genes in a ligand-dependent and independent manner. siRNA silencing of hnRNPH1 sensitized prostate cancer cells to bicalutamide and inhibited prostate tumorigenesis in vivo.Conclusions: Our findings define novel roles for hnRNPH1 as a putative oncogene, splicing factor, and an auxiliary AR coregulator. Targeted disruption of the hnRNPH1-AR axis may have therapeutic implications to improve clinical outcomes in patients with advanced prostate cancer, especially among AA men.

To exert their function, B cells and T cells differentiate into effector and memory cells. Tight regulation of these differentiation processes is key to prevent their malfunction, which can result in life-threatening disease. Lymphocyte differentiation relies on the appropriate timing and dosage of regulatory molecules, and post-transcriptional gene regulation (PTR) is a key player herein. PTR includes the regulation through RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), which control the fate of RNA and its translation into proteins. To date, a comprehensive overview of the RBP expression throughout lymphocyte differentiation is lacking. Using transcriptome and proteome analyses, we here catalogued the RBP expression for human B cells and T cells. We observed that even though the overall RBP expression is conserved, the relative RBP expression is distinct between B cells and T cells. Differentiation into effector and memory cells alters the RBP expression, resulting into preferential expression of different classes of RBPs.

Although the exact cause is unknown, environmental factors and genetic susceptibility are thought to play an important role. cL is not a single disease, and a wide variation in clinical presentations and histological subtypes is recognized. Despite this potential variation, most dogs present with generalized lymphadenopathy (multicentric form) and intermediate to high-grade lymphoma, more commonly of B-cell origin. The most common paraneoplastic sign is hypercalcemia that is associated with the T-cell immunophenotype. Chemotherapy is the treatment of choice and a doxorubicin-based multidrug protocol is currently the standard of care. A complete remission is obtained for most dogs and lasts for a median period of 7–10 months, resulting in a median survival of 10–14 months. Many prognostic factors have been reported, but stage, immunophenotype, tumor grade, and response to chemotherapy appear of particular importance. Failure to respond to chemotherapy suggests drug resistance, which can be partly attributed to the expression of drug transporters of the ABC-transporter superfamily, including P-gp and BCRP. Ultimately, most lymphomas will become drug resistant and the development of treatments aimed at reversing drug resistance or alternative treatment modalities (e.g. immunotherapy and targeted therapy) are of major importance.

However, the role of CREBBP inactivation in lymphomagenesis remains unclear. Here, we show that CREBBP regulates enhancer/super-enhancer networks with central roles in GC/post-GC cell fate decisions, including genes involved in signal transduction by the B-cell receptor and CD40 receptor, transcriptional control of GC and plasma cell development, and antigen presentation. Consistently, Crebbp-deficient B cells exhibit enhanced response to mitogenic stimuli and perturbed plasma cell differentiation. Although GC-specific loss of Crebbp was insufficient to initiate malignant transformation, compound Crebbp-haploinsufficient/BCL2-transgenic mice, mimicking the genetics of FL and DLBCL, develop clonal lymphomas recapitulating the features of the human diseases. These findings establish CREBBP as a haploinsufficient tumor-suppressor gene in GC B cells and provide insights into the mechanisms by which its loss contributes to lymphomagenesis.Significance: Loss-of-function mutations of CREBBP are common and early lesions in FL and DLBCL, suggesting a prominent role in lymphoma initiation. Our studies identify the cellular program by which reduced CREBBP dosage facilitates malignant transformation, and have direct implications for targeted lymphoma therapy based on drugs affecting CREBBP-mediated chromatin acetylation.

Several cross-platform normalization methods have been developed to remove the systematic differences between platforms, but they may also remove meaningful biological differences among datasets. In this work, we propose a novel approach that removes the platform, not the biological differences. Dubbed as ‘MatchMixeR’, we model platform differences by a linear mixed effects regression (LMER) model, and estimate them from matched GE profiles of the same cell line or tissue measured on different platforms. The resulting model can then be used to remove platform differences in other datasets. By using LMER, we achieve better bias-variance trade-off in parameter estimation. We also design a computationally efficient algorithm based on the moment method, which is ideal for ultra-high-dimensional LMER analysis.Compared with several prominent competing methods, MatchMixeR achieved the highest after-normalization concordance. Subsequent differential expression analyses based on datasets integrated from different platforms showed that using MatchMixeR achieved the best trade-off between true and false discoveries, and this advantage is more apparent in datasets with limited samples or unbalanced group proportions.Our method is implemented in a R-package, ‘MatchMixeR’, freely available at: https://github.com/dy16b/Cross-Platform-Normalization.Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.}, issue = {btz974} } @article{zhangModelbasedAnalysisChIPSeq2008, title = {Model-Based Analysis of {{ChIP-Seq}} ({{MACS}})}, author = {Zhang, Yong and Liu, Tao and Meyer, Clifford A. and Eeckhoute, Jérôme and Johnson, David S. and Bernstein, Bradley E. and Nusbaum, Chad and Myers, Richard M. and Brown, Myles and Li, Wei and Liu, X.

Mechanistically, PCBP1 overexpression affects various autophagy-related genes expression at various expression levels to attenuate the intrinsic cell autophagy, including the autophagy-initiating ULK, ATG12, ATG7 as well as the bona fide marker of autophagosome, LC3B. Accordingly, knockdown of the endogenous PCBP1 in turn enhances autophagy and less cell death. Meanwhile, PCBP1 upregulates p62/SQSTM1 via inhibition p62/SQSTM1 autophagolysome and proteasome degradation as well as its mRNA stability, consequently accompanying with the caspase 3 or 8 activation for tumor cell apoptosis. Importantly, clinical ovary cancer sample analysis consistently validates the relevance of PCBP1 expression to both p62/SQSTM1 and caspase-8 to overall survival, and indicates PCBP1 may be a master player to repress tumor initiation.

We report a high frequency of FOXO1 mutations in both sporadic and endemic BL at diagnosis, occurring in 23/78 (29\%) and 48/89 (54\%) samples, respectively, as well as 8/16 (50\%) cases at relapse. Mutations of T24 were the most common in sporadic BL but were rare in endemic cases, in which mutations of residue S22, also within the AKT recognition motif, were the most frequent. FOXO1 mutations were almost always present in the major tumor cell clone but were not associated with outcome. Analysis of other recurrent mutations reported in BL revealed that FOXO1 mutations were associated with mutations of DDX3X and ARID1A, but not MYC, TCF3/ID3, or members of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling pathway. We further show common nuclear retention of the FOXO1 protein, irrespective of mutation status, suggesting alternative unknown mechanisms for maintaining FOXO1 transcriptional activity in BL.

Thus, FOXO1 is frequently mutated in both sporadic and endemic BL and may offer a potential therapeutic target for pediatric BL patients worldwide.}, langid = {english}, pmcid = {PMC6650741}, keywords = {Adolescent,Binding Sites,Burkitt Lymphoma,Child,Child Preschool,DEAD-box RNA Helicases,DNA-Binding Proteins,Female,Forkhead Box Protein O1,Gene Frequency,Gene Knockout Techniques,High-Throughput Nucleotide Sequencing,Humans,Infant,Infant Newborn,Kaplan-Meier Estimate,Male,Mutation,Neoplasm Staging,Nucleotide Motifs,Protein Binding,Proto-Oncogene Proteins c-akt,Transcription Factors,Young Adult} } @article{zhouStrongExpressionEZH2, title = {Strong Expression of {{EZH2}} and Accumulation of Trimethylated {{H3K27}} in Diffuse Large {{B-cell}} Lymphoma Independent of Cell of Origin and {{EZH2}} Codon 641 Mutation.}, author = {Zhou, Zheng and Gao, Juehua and Popovic, Relja and Wolniak, Kristy and Parimi, Vamsi and Winter, Jane N and Licht, Jonathan D and Chen, Yi-Hua}, journaltitle = {Leuk lymphoma}, volume = {56}, number = {10}, pages = {2895--2901} } @article{ziakasFcgRIIaH131RVariantAssociated2016, title = {{{FcγRIIa-H131R}} Variant Is Associated with Inferior Response in Diffuse Large {{B}} Cell Lymphoma: {{A}} Meta-Analysis of Genetic Risk.}, author = {Ziakas, Panayiotis D and Poulou, Loukia S and Zintzaras, Elias}, date = {2016-11}, journaltitle = {Journal of B.U.ON. : official journal of the Balkan Union of Oncology}, volume = {21}, number = {6}, pages = {1454--1458} }
