Project description:A ï¾Cartes dï¾Identite des Tumeursï¾ (CIT) project from the french Ligue Nationale Contre le Cancer (http://cit.ligue-cancer.net) | Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2.0 : 17 AITL biopsies, 2 AITL sorted cells, 16 PTCL NOS biopsies | The molecular alterations underlying the pathogenesis of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma, unspecified (PTCL-u) are largely unknown. In order to characterize the ontogeny and molecular differences between both entities, a series of AITLs (n = 18) and PTCLs-u (n = 16) was analyzed using gene expression profiling. Unsupervised clustering correlated with the pathological classification and with CD30 expression in PTCL-u. The molecular profile of AITLs was characterized by a strong microenvironment imprint (overexpression of B-cell- and follicular dendritic cell-related genes, chemokines, and genes related to extracellular matrix and vascular biology), and overexpression of several genes characteristic of normal follicular helper T (T(FH)) cells (CXCL13, BCL6, PDCD1, CD40L, NFATC1). By gene set enrichment analysis, the AITL molecular signature was significantly enriched in published T(FH)-specific genes. The enrichment was higher for sorted AITL cells than for tissue samples. Overexpression of several T(FH) genes was validated by immunohistochemistry in AITLs. A few cases with molecular T(FH)-like features were identified among CD30(-) PTCLs-u. Our findings strongly support that T(FH) cells represent the normal counterpart of AITL, and suggest that the AITL spectrum may be wider than suspected, as a subset of CD30(-) PTCLs-u may derive from or be related to AITL.| Submitter : Aurelien de Reynies <reyniesa@ligue-cancer.fr> | Project leader : Philippe Gaulard <philippe.gaulard@hmn.aphp.fr>

Project description:Certain peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) have been associated with viral infection, particularly infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). However, a comprehensive virome analysis across PTCLs has not previously been reported, and viral gene expression profiles have been studied only in certain PTCL subtypes. In this study we utilized published RNA-seq data sets from seven different PTCL studies as well as new RNA-seq data from our laboratory to screen for virus association, to analyze viral gene expression, and to assess B- and T-cell receptor diversity paradigms across these tumor types. In addition to identifying EBV in angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) and extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma (ENKTL), two PTCL subtypes with well-established EBV associations, we also detected EBV in several cases of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), and we found evidence of infection by the oncogenic viruses KSHV and HTLV-1 in isolated PTCL cases. In AITLs, EBV gene expression analysis showed expression of immediate early, early and late lytic genes, suggesting either abortive lytic replication and/or productive infection in a subset of the EBV infected infiltrating B-lymphocytes. Deconvolution of immune cell subpopulations demonstrated a greater B-cell signal in AITLs than in other PTCL subtypes, consistent with a larger role for B-cell support in the pathogenesis of AITL. T-cell receptor (TCR) and B-cell receptor (BCR) repertoires reconstructed from RNA-seq data demonstrated increased BCR diversity in AITLs, consistent with a possible EBV-driven polyclonal response. These findings indicate potential alternative roles for EBV in PTCLs in addition to the canonical oncogenic mechanisms associated with EBV latent infection. The findings also suggest the involvement of other viruses in T-cell lymphoma pathogenesis and demonstrate immunological alterations associated with these cancers.

Project description:Peripheral T-cell lymphoma unspecified (PTCL/U), the most common form of PTCL, displays heterogeneous morphology and phenotype, poor response to treatment, and dismal prognosis. We demonstrate that PTCL/U shows a gene expression profile clearly distinct from that of normal T-cells. Comparison with the profiles of purified T-cell subpopulations [CD4+, CD8+, resting (HLA-DR-), and activated (HLA-DR+)] reveals that PTCLs/U are most closely related to activated peripheral T-lymphocytes, either CD4+ or CD8+. Interestingly, the global gene expression profile cannot be surrogated by routine CD4/CD8 immunohistochemistry. When compared with normal T-cells, PTCLs/U display deregulation of functional programs often involved in tumorigenesis (e.g. apoptosis, proliferation, cell adhesion, and matrix remodeling). Products of deregulated genes can be detected in PTCLs/U by immunohistochemistry with an ectopic, paraphysiologic or stromal location. Among others, PTCLs/U aberrantly express PDGFRA, a tyrosine-kinase receptor, whose deregulation is often related to a malignant phenotype. Notably, both phosphorylation of PDGFRA and sensitivity of cultured PTCL cells to imatinib (as well as to an inhibitor of histone-deacetylase) are found. These results, which might be extended to other rarer PTCL categories, are provided with implications for tumor pathogenesis and clinical management. Experiment Overall Design: 40 cases of Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) were analyzed, including 28 PTCL/unspecified, 6 angioimmunoblastic (AITL) and 6 anaplastic large cell lymphoma cases (ALCL). Frozen lymph-nodes collected at diagnosis (before therapy) were used. In addition, 20 samples of normal T-cells (5 CD4+, 5 CD8+, 5 HLA-DR+, and 5 HLA-DR-) collected from peripheral blood and tonsils of healthy donors were studied. The HG U133 2.0 plus microarray (Affymetrix) was adopted.

Project description:<p>Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are a heterogeneous and poorly understood group of non Hodgkin lymphomas. We aim to identify new genetic alterations in PTCL transformation by using a combination of whole exome sequencing of tumor-normal DNA pairs, RNAseq analysis and targeted deep sequencing of candidate genes. Our data identified highly recurrent mutations in epigenetic factors such as TET2, DNMT3A and IDH2 as well as a new highly prevalent mutation in RHOA, the G17V allele that is present in almost 70% of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphomas (AITL) and almost 20% of not otherwise specified PTCL (PTCL NOS) samples. In addition, we describe new and recurrent genetic defects including mutations in FYN, ATM, B2M and CD58 implicating SRC signaling, impaired DNA damage response and escape from immune surveillance processes as key players in the pathogenesis of PTCL.</p>

Project description:Peripheral T-cell lymphomas not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) represent a heterogeneous group of nodal and extra-nodal mature T-cell lymphomas, with a low prevalence in Western countries. PTCL-NOSs account for about 25% of all PTCLs and are currently diagnosed based on exclusion criteria, as this lymphomas lack unifying morphological, phenotypic and genomic features. Cytogenetic and FISH analysis of PTCL-NOS samples have not revealed recurrent pathogenetic abnormalities, while gene expression profiling has shown only partial ability to segregate cases representing homogeneous clinic-pathological entities. This underscores the need to look at PTCL-NOS with innovative and high-throughput approaches to identify recurrent genetic lesions that could further our understanding of the biology of this heterogeneous group of diseases, provide better diagnostic tools and perhaps new targets for innovative treatments.
Our aim is to study ~15 patients affected by PTCL-NOS. Out study will be funded by a private, non-profit Italian cancer research fund (Associazione Italiana per la Ricerca sul Cancro, www.airc.it) based on a grant owned by Anna Dodero and Cristiana Carniti, hematologists at INT.
Samples will be analysed by whole genome sequencing using Illumina X10 machines, on a 150bp-PE protocol. Data will be analysed using the pipeline available in Team 78, under the supervision of Peter Campbell, the WTSI faculty who will oversee the project, and by Francesco Maura, visiting scientist at the WTSI.

Project description:Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is a clinically aggressive disease, with a poor response to therapy and a low overall survival rate of around 30% after 5 years. We have analyzed a series of 105 cases with a diagnosis of PTCL using a customized NanoString platform that includes 208 genes associated with T-cell differentiation, oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, deregulated pathways and stromal cell subpopulations. A comparative analysis of the various histological types of PTCL (angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, AITL; PTCL-with T follicular helper phenotype, PTCL-TFH; PTCL-not otherwise signified, PTCL-NOS) showed that specific sets of genes were associated with each of the diagnoses. These included TFH markers, cytotoxic markers and genes whose expression was a surrogate for specific cellular subpopulations, including follicular dendritic cells, mast cells and genes belonging to precise survival (NF-κB) and other pathways. Furthermore, the mutational profile was analyzed using a custom panel that targeted 62 genes in 76 cases distributed in AITL, PTCL-TFH and PTCL-NOS. The main differences between the three nodal PTCL classes involved the RHOAG17V mutations (p<0.0001), which were approximately twice as frequent in AITL (34.09%) as in PTCL-TFH (16.66%) cases, but were not detected in PTCL-NOS. A multivariate analysis identified gene sets that allowed the series of cases to be stratified into different risk groups. This study supports and validates the current division of PTCL into these three categories, identifies sets of markers that can be used for a more precise diagnosis, and recognizes the expression of B-cell genes as an IPI-independent prognostic factor for AITL.

Project description:Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) represent a significant unmet medical need with dismal clinical outcome.T-cell receptor (TCR) is emerging as a key driver of T lymphocytes transformation. However, the role of chronic TCR activation in lymphomagenesis and in survival of lymphoma cells is still poorly understood. Using an original mouse model, we report here that chronic TCR stimulation drives T-cell lymphomagenesis whereas TCR signaling does not contribute to PTCL survival. Transcriptome analyses of mouse PTCLs revealed a NK-like reprogramming of PTCL cells with expression of NK receptors (NKRs) and downstream signaling molecules such as Tyrobp and Syk.

Project description:Molecular signatures to improve diagnosis in PTCL and prognostication in angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL). Gene expression profiling of PTCL patient samples was performed to investigate whether molecular signatures can be used to identify distinct entities of PTCL. Gene expression profiling was performed on PTCL and natural-killer cell lymphoma (NKCL) to define molecular classifiers for the more common entities of PTCL, to identify unique entities within PTCL-U, to elucidate unique tumor and microenvironmental interactions and oncogenic pathways in AITL, and to construct a molecular prognosticator for AITL.

Project description:Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) encompasses a heterogeneous group of neoplasms with generally poor clinical outcome. Currently 50% of PTCL cases are not classifiable: PTCL-not otherwise specified (NOS). Gene-expression profiles on 372 PTCL cases were analyzed and robust molecular classifiers and oncogenic pathways that reflect the pathobiology of tumor cells and their microenvironment were identified for major PTCL-entities, including 114 angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), 31 anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive and 48 ALK-negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma, 14 adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma and 44 extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma that were further separated into NK-cell and gdT-cell lymphomas. Thirty-seven percent of morphologically diagnosed PTCL-NOS cases were reclassified into other specific subtypes by molecular signatures. Reexamination, immunohistochemistry, and IDH2 mutation analysis in reclassified cases supported the validity of the reclassification. Two major molecular subgroups can be identified in the remaining PTCL-NOS cases characterized by high expression of either GATA3 (33%; 40/121) or TBX21 (49%; 59/121). The GATA3 subgroup was significantly associated with poor overall survival (P=.01). High expression of cytotoxic genesignaturewithin the TBX21 subgroup also showed poor clinical outcome (P=.05). InAITL, high expression of several signatures associated with the tumor microenvironment was significantly associated with outcome. A combined prognostic score was predictive of survival in an independent cohort (P=.004).
