CAMKIIδ Reinforces Lipid Metabolism and Promotes the Development of B Cell Lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: The most prevalent types of lymphomas are B cell lymphomas (BCL). Newer therapies for BCL have improved the prognosis for many patients. However, approximately 30% with aggressive BCL either remain refractory or ultimately relapse. These patients urgently need other options. This study shows how calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II delta (CAMKIIδ) is pivotal for BCL development. In BCL cells, ablation of CAMKIIδ inhibits both lipolysis from lipid droplets and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). With lipolysis blocked, BCL progression is markedly suppressed in two distinct BCL mouse models: MYC-driven EµMyc mice and Myc/Bcl2 double-expressed mice. When CAMKIIδ is present, it destabilizes transcription factor Forkhead Box O3A (FOXO3A) by phosphorylating it at Ser7 and Ser12. This t
