Chidamide inhibits double expressor lymphoma through repressing Myc expression and activity

ABSTRACT: Double-expressor lymphoma (DEL), defined by MYC and BCL-2 overexpression without corresponding chromosome translocations, is often associated with poor outcomes for standard treatment (R-CHOP). Recently, inhibitors of histone deacetylases have shown great effect in T cell lymphomas. However, its effects on B cell lymphomas are mild. Here, our clinical retrospective analysis showed that HDAC inhibitor chidamide combined with R-CHOP (CR-CHOP) can dramatically increase the complete remission rate of patients with DEL. And the sensitivity of B cell lymphoma cell lines to chidamide is negatively correlated to Myc level. From Western blots and transcriptomics analysis, we found that chidamide treatment could reduce Myc protein level and downregulate the transcription levels of corresponding Myc downstream targets. Thus our results indicate that HDAC inhibitor chidamde holds great potential for treating DEL, which likely functions through inhibiting the Myc pathway.

Project description:Background: Peripheral T‐cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms characterized by a poor prognosis. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors have emerged as novel therapeutic agents for PTCLs. In this study, we aimed to explore the immunomodulatory effect of the HDAC inhibitor chidamide on circulating PD-1(+) cells from patients with PTCL, as well as its correlation with treatment response. Methods: We enrolled newly diagnosed patients with PTCLs treated with a combination of chidamide and chemotherapy. Gene expression profile analysis was performed on peripheral blood PD-1(+) cells, both at baseline and at the end of treatment. A list of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) was identified. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses were performed to annotate the biological implications of the DEGs. A gene concept network was constructed to identify the key DEGs for further PCR verification. Results: A total of 302 DEGs were identified in the complete remission (CR) group, including 162 upregulated and 140 downregulated genes. In contrast, only 12 DEGs were identified in the non-CR group. GO analysis revealed that these upregulated DEGs were mainly involved in chemokine activity, cell chemotaxis, and cellular response to interleukin-1 and interferon-γ. Furthermore, KEGG pathway analysis showed that these DEGs were enriched in cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction and chemokine signaling pathways. The innate immune signaling pathways, including the Toll-like and NOD-like receptor signaling pathways, were also influenced. The gene concept network revealed that the key upregulated genes belonged to the C-C chemokine family. Conclusion: Our results showed that chidamide treatment notably enhanced the expression of genes associated with chemokine activity and chemotaxis function of circulating PD-1(+) cells. By recruiting immune cells and improving the innate immune function of PD-1(+) cells, chidamide may reshape the tumor microenvironment to an anti-tumor phenotype and synergize with checkpoint inhibitors.
