Project description:Purpose: Richter’s Transformation (RT) is a poorly understood and often fatal progression of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) manifesting histologically as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. PRMT5 is implicated in lymphomagenesis, but its role in CLL or RT progression is unknown. We demonstrate herein that tumors uniformly overexpress PRMT5 in patients with progression to RT. Furthermore, mice with B-specific overexpression of hPRMT5 developed a B-lymphoid expansion with increased risk of death, and Eµ-PRMT5/TCL1 double transgenic mice uniformly developed a highly aggressive disease that histologically resembles RT; where large-scale transcriptional profiling identified unique oncogenic pathways that mediate PRMT5-driven disease progression. Taken together, the discovery that PRMT5 drives oncogenic pathways promoting RT provides a compelling rationale for clinical investigation of PRMT5 inhibitors such as PRT382 in aggressive CLL/RT cases

Project description:Richter’s syndrome (RS) is an aggressive B-cell lymphoma arising from chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). RS patients are generally unresponsive both to conventional and B-cell receptor-targeted agents such as ibrutinib. Mouse models that mimic the biology and therapeutic response of RS are lacking, which hampers the development of alternative treatment strategies urgently needed to improve the dismal outcome of RS patients. Aberrant Myc expression is a major factor of RS pathogenesis. To investigate Myc overexpression in the context of CLL, we generated Eµ-TCL1 mice with B-cell restricted Myc expression. Eµ-TCL1xMyc mice uniformly developed highly aggressive lymphoid disease with histologically and immunophenotypically distinct concomitant CLL and B-cell lymphoma, leading to a significantly reduced lifespan. Injection of cells from diseased Eμ-TCL1xMyc into WT mice established a disease similar to that in double-transgenic mice. Both Eμ-TCL1xMyc mice and mice with disease after adoptive transfer failed to respond to ibrutinib. Effective and durable disease control was however observed by selective inhibition of nuclear export protein exportin-1 (XPO1) using a compound currently in clinical development for relapsed/refractory malignancies, including CLL and lymphoma. Altogether, the Eµ-TCL1xMyc mouse model represents a new preclinical tool for experimental drug testing of aggressive lymphoma in the context of CLL, mimicking clinical behavior and therapeutic responses seen in RS patients.

Project description:Richter's syndrome (RS) is an aggressive transformation of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL) frequently due to TP53, CDKN2, MYC or NOTCH1 mutations. whereas a significant proportion displays no specifically acquired driver mutation. We observe constitutive AKT phosphorylation not only in high-risk CLL patients harbouring p53 and NOTCH mutations but also in numerous RS patients. Consistently, genetic over-activation of AKT within the Eµ-TCL1 CLL mouse model results in a high-grade lymphoma phenotype of Richters syndrome. Multiomics assessment of our novel mouse model revealed a S100 defined subcluster of highly proliferative lymphoma cells developing from indolent CLL-like B-cells as a consequence of sudden NOTCH activation being fueled by enhanced NOTCH ligand exposure from T-cells in the microenvironment. Our data link AKT and NOTCH signaling in patient samples, genomic alterations, phosphoproteome and single-cell transcriptome profiles. Collectively, we have identified active AKT as a causative transforming pathway of indolent CLL towards aggressive RS thus providing novel mechanistic insights into the molecular understanding of RS.

Project description:Purpose: Karyotype screening in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has identified a rare chromosome translocation, t(X;14)(q28;q32), placing the mature T cell proliferation 1 (MTCP1) gene under transcriptional control of the immunoglobulin (IGH) locus. To establish the role of MTCP1 as a driving gene in CLL, we generated a novel mouse model (Eµ-MTCP1) which recapitulates overexpression of MTCP1 in murine immature and mature B cells. Eµ-MTCP1 mice developed a CLL-like disease found in the blood, spleen, lymph nodes, and other tissues. As the MTCP1 protein shares significant homology with the TCL1A oncoprotein, and the Eµ-TCL1 mouse model is widely used as an preclinical tool in CLL due to the development of a CLL-like disease in the blood, spleen, and other tissues, we aimed to evaluate the transcriptome between the CLL-like disease of Eµ-MTCP1 and Eµ-TCL1 mice. Methods: Transgenic Eµ-MTCP1 mice were generated on a C57BL/6NTac background at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center’s Transgenic Mouse Facility via pronuclear injection of linear constructs derived from a plasmid vector encoding murine VH promoter-IgH-Eμ enhancer elements followed by human cDNA encoding the p13 kDa MTCP1 protein. Eµ-MTCP1 and Eµ-TCL1 mice were aged and monitored for development of CLL-like disease my monthly flow cytometry assessment of the blood. Upon reaching significant accumulation in the blood (>60%), mice were randomly chosen for euthanization and cell populations were isolated from the spleen according to previously described protocols. From this suspension, B cells were isolated using EasySepTM mouse pan B cell isolation kit (STEMCELL Technologies; Cat #19844). Cell pellets were captured and washed in PBS on ice prior to resuspension in TRIzol reagent and stored at -80°. Total RNA was isolated from TRIzol suspensions using a chloroform/ethanol extraction method and quantified via Qubit RNA HS Assay kit (Invitrogen). The Clontech SMARTer v4 kit (Takara Bio USA, Inc.) was used for global preamplification. Illumina sequencing libraries were derived from the resultant cDNA using the Illumina Nextera XT DNA Library Prep Kit following manufacturer’s instructions. RNA-sequencing libraries were prepared with the Illumina Tru-Seq stranded kit and sequenced on a Hiseq 4000 targeting 40x10E6 fragments per sample. Transcript-level abundances were estimated using Salmon with the genocode mouse release 23, imported using tximport, with normalization and differential expression computed with DESeq2. Data processing was performed according to the CLEAR workflow, which identifies reliably quantifiable transcripts in low-input RNA-seq for differentially expressed gene (DEG) transcripts using gene coverage profiles. MiXCR (v3.0.5) was used with default parameters except the rnaseq alignment was replaced with kaligner2 to identify preprocessed reads containing CDR3 regions from B-cell heavy, kappa, and lambda chains, generating a list of unique CDR3 sequences associated with their relative abundances and specific V(D)J gene usage. MiXCR then generates a list of unique CDR3 sequences associated with their relative abundances and specific V(D)J gene usage. To verify expression of the human MTCP1 and TCL1 transgene (hMTCP1 & hTCL1) in mice, transcript level abundances were estimated using Salmon with a modified gencode mouse reference that contained sequences from human MTCP1 and human TCL1 genes extracted from the grch38 human reference. Results & Conclusion: Across splenic B cells isolated from both Eµ-MTCP1 and Eµ-TCL1 mice there was prominent usage of distinct heavy chain BCR gene loci in each mouse analyzed. In contrast, wildtype mice exhibited high degree of variability in heavy chain V gene usage without dominant emergence of any gene, indicative of a heterogeneous mixture of splenic B cells. Similar patterns suggesting clonal leukemic populations were observed by kappa and lamba light chain usage. The complexity and aggressive nature of human CLL is often stratified by IGHV mutation status of the malignant B cell population. The most abundant tumorigenic clones isolated from spleens of Eµ-MTCP1 and Eµ-TCL1 mice both exhibited low mutational burden in IGHV, well below the threshold for classification as “mutated." The low mutational burden in this region is consistent with the aggressive, IGHV-unmutated, subtype of human CLL. Moreover, we aimed to determine the overall transcriptional profile of these monoclonal tumor cells and to establish relation to that of the CLL-like cells in Eµ-TCL1 mice. Principal component analysis of the global transcription profile revealed distinct clustering of Eµ-MTCP1 and Eµ-TCL1 tumor cell transcriptomes along PC2, with significant segregation from wildtype littermates across PC1. Analysis of the overall gene expression pattern between Eµ-MTCP1 and Eµ-TCL1 transgenic strains revealed a significant overlap in genes most variable from B cells of wildtype animals. A considerable degree of overlap in gene expression was noted when directly comparing Eµ-MTCP1 and Eµ-TCL1 expression profiles, with a total of only 92 of 27,054 analyzed genes having significant variation (p<0.001) from one transgenic model to the other.

Project description:B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is often preceded by a benign monoclonal or oligoclonal CD5+ B cell lymphocytosis. We have generated transgenic mice expressing a catalytically inactive, dominant-negative recombination activating gene 1 (dnRAG1 mice) in the periphery. These animals develop an early-onset indolent CD5+ B cell lymphocytosis, caused in part by a defect in secondary V(D)J rearrangements initiated to alter autoreactive B cell receptor specificity. Hypothesizing that the CD5+ B cells accumulating in dnRAG1 mice represent a CLL precursor, we crossed dnRAG1 mice with CLL-prone Eµ-TCL1 mice to determine whether dnRAG1 expression in Eµ-TCL1 mice accelerates the onset of CLL-like disease. We find that CD5+ B cell expansion and CLL progression occurs more rapidly and uniformly in double-transgenic mice (DTG mice) compared to Eµ-TCL1 mice, but with similar phenotypic and leukemogenic features. To gain insight into genes or pathways responsible for CD5+ B cell accumulation in the transgenic mice, we performed comparative gene expression profiling studies using normal and CD5+ B cells isolated from wild-type and transgenic mice at either 12 weeks of age (pre-leukemia) or at CLL onset in DTG mice (using age-matched wild-type and single-transgenic mice as controls). These analyses confirm the upregulation of tolerogenic genes in CD5+ B cells and reveal a possible role for prolactin signaling in the regulation of receptor editing. This study suggests that a failure to remodel B cell antigen receptor genes in response to autoreactivity may promote the benign accumulation of CD5+ B cells, which may then be subjected to secondary genetic lesions that promote CLL progression. dnRAG1 mice were bred to Eµ-TCL1 mice to obtain cohorts of wild-type (WT), single-transgenic (dnRAG1 and Eµ-TCL1), and DTG mice. Splenic CD19+B220hiCD5- B cells from WT mice or CD19+CD5+ B cells from transgenic mice were purified using fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS). Biotin end-labeled cDNA prepared from the sorted cells was hybridized to Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Arrays. These experiments were performed two independent times: once with a cohort of 12-week-old mice, and once with older mice (>34 weeks old) consisting of two ill DTG mice and their age-matched counterparts. At least two biological replicates were used where possible.
