Genetically driven immune microenvironment states associate with therapeutic responses in MYD88 mutant lymphomas [WES]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The interaction between lymphoma cells and immune microenvironment cells and the impact of this functional interplay on therapeutic responses remain unexplored. Here we utilized murine models with oncogenically active MYD88 and additional genetic lesions co-triggered at selected B-cell stages to generate human-like lymphomas harboring MYD88L265P mutation. Lymphomas exhibited behaviors ranging from clinically indolent small-cell tumors to aggressive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Thus, genetically diverse lymphoma cells employed distinct immune evasion mechanisms that shaped unique lymphoma microenvironment (LME) states, whereby clonally expanded T-cells functioned as a double-edged sword, either sustaining indolent lymphoma cell survival or promoting antitumor responses in DLBCL. Consequently, efficacy of standard-of-care and novel immunotherapies was determined by individual T-cell features. Furthermore, experimental targeting of newly identified immune mechanisms improved therapeutic responses in vivo. Our results elucidate genetically-driven LME landscapes that influence therapeutic outcomes across distinct lymphoma subtypes, providing a proof-of-concept for personalized treatment based on immune information.
