Project description:Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a clinically heterogeneous disease characterized by chromosomal aberrations of prognostic significance. Recent studies showed that gain of chromosome 2p is a recurrent lesion in CLL. We investigated the 2p gain and its relationship with prognostic biomarkers in a prospective series of 287 early-stage CLLs (Binet A). The 2p gain was detected by FISH in 17 patients (6%) and further characterized by single nucleotide polymorphism-array. Overall, unfavorable cytogenetic deletions, i.e. del(11)(q23) and del(17)(p13) (P=0.002) as well as unmutated (UM) status of IGHV (P<1×10-4) and CD38 (P<1×10-4) and ZAP-70 positive expression (P=0.003) were significantly more prevalent in 2p gain cases. Furthermore, 2p gained patients showed a significantly higher occurrence of stereotyped HCDR3 sequences compared to 2p normal CLLs (P=0.009). Among the stereotyped subsets, the incidence of subset #1 in 2p positive patients was significantly higher than that found in the remaining CLLs (P=0.031). Finally, gene expression profiling analysis identified a number of genes significantly upregulated in 2p gain CLLs. Among those located at 2p, NCOA1 and ROCK2 are known for their involvement in tumor progression in several human cancers, whereas among those located in different chromosomes, CAV1 at 7q31.1 has been recently identified to play a critical role in CLL progression. Our study indicates that 2p gain is a recurrent lesion in early CLL, correlated with the major biological and cytogenetic risk markers of the disease. Moreover, we provide insights to define novel candidate genes that may play additional pathogenetic roles in CLL.

Moreover, we provide insights to define novel candidate genes that may play additional pathogenetic roles in CLL. This series of microarray experiments contains the gene expression profiles of purified B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) cells obtained from 136 patients (Binet stage A) showing 2p gain alteration. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from B-CLL patients were isolated by Ficoll-Hypaque density-gradient centrifugation and the proportion of CD5/CD19/CD23 triple positive B cells in the suspension was determined by direct immunofluorescence performed using a FACS-sort flow cytometer with antibodies to: CD19 FITC/PE, CD23 PE and CD5 Cy-Chrome. If B-CLL cells were less than 90%, T cells, NK cells and monocytes were removed by negative selection using CD3, CD56, CD16, and CD14 monoclonal antibody treatment followed by magnetic beads. 5.5 micrograms of single-stranded DNA target obtained from 100 ng of purified total RNA was fragmented and then labeled using the WT Terminal Labeling Kit according to the standard Affymetrix protocol (GeneChipM-BM-. Whole Transcript (WT) Sense Target Labeling Assay Manual). The fragmented labeled single-stranded DNA target was hybridized for 16 hours and 30 minutes at 45M-BM-0C on GeneChipM-BM-. Gene 1.0 ST array according to the standard Affymetrix protocol. Washing and scanning were performed using GeneChip System of Affymetrix (GeneChip Hybridization Oven 640, GeneChip Fluidics Station 450 and GeneChip Scanner 7G). Log2-transformed expression values were extracted from CEL files and normalized using NetAffx Transcript Cluster Annotations, Release 31 and robust multi-array average (RMA) procedure in Expression Console software (Affymetrix Inc.). The expression values of transcript cluster ID specific for loci representing naturally occurring read-through transcriptions were summarized as median value for each sample.

Moreover, we provide insights to define novel candidate genes that may play additional pathogenetic roles in CLL. This series of microarray experiments contains the genome-wide profiles of purified B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) cells obtained from 10 patients (Binet stage A) showing 2p gain alteration. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from B-CLL patients were isolated by Ficoll-Hypaque density-gradient centrifugation and the proportion of CD5/CD19/CD23 triple positive B cells in the suspension was determined by direct immunofluorescence performed using a FACS-sort flow cytometer with antibodies to: CD19 FITC/PE, CD23 PE and CD5 Cy-Chrome. If B-CLL cells were less than 90%, T cells, NK cells and monocytes were removed by negative selection using CD3, CD56, CD16, and CD14 monoclonal antibody treatment followed by magnetic beads. 250 nanograms of genomic DNA was processed and, in accordance with the manufacturer's protocols, 90 micrograms of fragmented biotin-labeled DNA were hybridized on GeneChip Human Mapping 250K NspI Arrays (Affymetrix Inc.). The arrays were scanned using the GeneChip Scanner 3000 7G. The images were acquired using Affymetrix GeneChipM-BM-. Operating Software (GCOS version 1.4). Copy number values for individual SNPs were extracted and converted from CEL files into signal intensities using GTYPE 4.1 and Affymetrix Copy Number Analysis Tool (CNAT 4.0.1) softwares. The raw data for individual SNPs were extracted from CEL files and converted into signal intensities using GTYPE 4.1 and Affymetrix Copy Number Analysis Tool (CNAT 4.0.1) softwares using the Hidden Markov Model algorithm with a genomic smoothing window set to 0. After the pre-processing, piecewise constant estimates of the underlying local DNA copy number (CN) variation was calculated using the DNAcopy Bioconductor package, which looks for optimal breakpoints using circular binary segmentation (CBS).

Project description:Multiple signaling pathways have been implicated in promoting malignant B cell proliferation in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Here we report that activated and proliferating CLL cells in circulation express the immune checkpoint PD-1. Circulating PD-1+ CLL cells upregulate genes associated with B cell receptor (BCR) and toll like receptor (TLR) signaling, and cell activation and proliferation. We demonstrate that BCR and TLR9 signaling induces PD-1 expression in primary CLL cells ex vivo, an effect that can be blocked by Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibition (BTKi). Importantly, profound reductions in circulating PD-1+ CLL cells were observed in patients within 1 month of initiating BTKi therapy and detection of high percentages of circulating PD-1+ CLL cells in patients treated with BTKi preceded the clinical diagnosis of disease progression. These findings suggest that PD-1 expression in circulating CLL cells may predict response and resistance to BTKi therapy.

Project description:Inhibition of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) has proven to be highly effective in the treatment of B-cell malignancies such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), autoimmune disorders and multiple sclerosis. Since the approval of the first BTK inhibitor (BTKi), Ibrutinib, several other inhibitors including Acalabrutinib, Zanubrutinib, Tirabrutinib and Pirtobrutinib have been clinically approved. All are covalent active site inhibitors, with the exception of the reversible active site inhibitor Pirtobrutinib. The large number of available inhibitors for the BTK target creates challenges in choosing the most appropriate BTKi for treatment. Side-by-side comparisons in CLL have shown that different inhibitors may differ in their treatment efficacy. Moreover, the nature of the resistance mutations that arise in patients appears to depend on the specific BTKi administered. We have previously shown that Ibrutinib binding to the kinase active site causes unanticipated long-range effects on the global conformation of BTK (Joseph, R.E., et al., 2020, https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.60470). Here we show that binding of each of the five approved BTKi to the kinase active site brings about distinct allosteric changes that alter the conformational equilibrium of full-length BTK. Additionally, we provide an explanation for the resistance mutation bias observed in CLL patients treated with different BTKi and characterize the mechanism of action of two common resistance mutations: BTK T474I and L528W.

Project description:Resistance to Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) remains a major therapeutic challenge in B-cell malignancies, limiting treatment durability. We demonstrate BRG1-mediated chromatin remodeling as a major driver of BTKi resistance. We show that cancer-associated BRG1 ATPase domain mutations protect cells from BTKi-induced ferroptosis by limiting reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and labile iron. Mechanistically, the BRG1T910M mutation activates the unfolded protein response (UPR) via ATF4, leading to upregulation of MEF2B, a key suppressor of ferroptosis. MEF2B further inhibits mitochondrial respiration and thus prevent BTKi-induced mitophagy and ferroptosis. Pharmacological inhibition of BRG1 promotes ferroptosis by suppressing pro-survival B cell receptor (BCR) signaling and the ATF4-MEF2B axis. We show that a clinical stage BRG1 inhibitor restores ferroptosis in BTKi-resistant cells and synergizes with BTKi across various MCL models. Together we propose for co-targeting BRG1 and BTK in treatment of B-cell malignancies.

Project description:Single nucleotide polymorphisms and locus amplification link the NF-κB transcription factor c-Rel to human autoimmune diseases and B cell lymphomas, respectively. However, the functional consequences of enhanced c-Rel levels remain enigmatic. Here, we overexpress c- Rel specifically in mouse B cells from BAC-transgenic gene loci and demonstrate that c-Rel protein levels linearly dictate expansion of germinal center (GC) B cells and isotype-switched plasma cells. c-Rel expression in B cells of otherwise c-Rel-deficient mice fully rescues terminal B cell differentiation, underscoring its critical B cell-intrinsic roles. Unexpectedly, in GC B cells transcription-independent regulation produces the highest c-Rel protein levels amongst B cell subsets. In c-Rel overexpressing GC B cells this causes enhanced nuclear translocation, a profoundly altered transcriptional program and increased proliferation. Finally, we provide the first link between c-Rel gain and autoimmunity by showing that c-Rel overexpression in B cells causes autoantibody production and renal immune complex deposition.
