Enhancer Sequence Variants and Transcription Factor Deregulation Synergize to Construct Pathogenic Regulatory Circuits in B Cell Lymphoma (RNA-Seq)

ABSTRACT: Most B cell lymphomas arise in the germinal center (GC), where humoral immune responses evolve from potentially oncogenic cycles of mutation, proliferation, and clonal selection. Although lymphoma gene expression diverges significantly from GC-B cells, underlying mechanisms that alter the activities of corresponding regulatory elements (REs) remain elusive. Here we define the complete pathogenic circuitry of human follicular lymphoma (FL), which activates or decommissions transcriptional circuits from normal GC-B cells and commandeers enhancers from other lineages. Moreover, independent sets of transcription factors, whose expression is deregulated in FL, target commandeered versus decommissioned REs. Our approach reveals two distinct subtypes of low-grade FL, whose pathogenic circuitries resemble GC-B or activated B cells. Remarkably, FL-altered enhancers also are enriched for sequence variants, including somatic mutations, which disrupt transcription factor binding and expression of circuit-linked genes. Thus, the pathogenic regulatory circuitry of FL reveals distinct genetic and epigenetic etiologies for GC-B transformation.

Gene expression profiling in follicular lymphoma (FL) samples and paired transformed follicular lymphoma (tFL) (n=6 samples)

Project description:Follicular lymphoma (FL) is the second most common forms of B cell lymphoma that result from the expansion of germinal center (GC) B cells. Here, we aimed to find differential expression of genes between patient samples isolated from indoent FL or transformed and aggressive FL.

Integrative single-cell analysis reveals human germinal center dynamics de-synchronized in B cell lymphoma

Project description:Most adult B cell lymphomas originate from germinal center (GC) B cells but it is unclear to what extent overt lymphoma B cells retain GC B cell functional dynamics or are blocked in a particular stage of the GC reaction. Here, we used integrative single-cell analysis of phenotype, gene expression and IGH sequence to track the characteristic human GC B cell program in follicular lymphoma (FL) B cells. By modeling the cyclic continuum of GC B cell transitional states, we identified characteristic patterns of synchronously expressed gene clusters. GC-specific gene expression synchrony was lost in single lymphoma B cells. Yet, distinct FL-specific cell states co-existed within single patient biopsies. Our data show that lymphoma B cells are not blocked in a GC B cell state but may adopt new dynamic modes of functional diversity, opening novel definitions of lymphoma identity.

Array based comparative genomic hybridisation analysis of 1 Mb resolution of 21 follicular lymphomas (FL), 31 transformed diffuse large B-cells lymphomas (DLBCL), 29 de novo DLBCL (10 of GC and 19 non-GC related immunophenotype).

Project description:Follicular lymphoma (FL) is one of the most common types of indolent B-cell lymphoma in Western countries. FL commonly transforms to more aggressive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) at reported frequencies between 15 - 60%. We have used microarray comparative genomic hybridisation (aCGH) at 1 Mb resolution to study copy number changes in paired tumor samples (primary FL and a subsequent tDLBCL) as well as de novo DLBCL cases to outline genetic mechanisms of transformation from follicular lymphoma to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Single hybridization per case. 21 FL, 31 transformed DLBCL, 29 de novo DLBCL (10 GC and 19 non-GC DLBCL). Tumor labelled with Cy5 and reference with Cy3. Mixture of 20 normal male or female genomic DNA was used in sex-mismatched hybridization.

Identification of KMT2D regulated genes in germinal center B cells

Project description:Somatic mutations of the KMT2D methyltransferase gene represent a common genetic lesion in multiple cancer types. In diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL), these mutations are highly recurrent and occur early during tumorigenesis, suggesting a central role in transformation. Here we show that FL/DLBCL-associated KMT2D mutations impair its enzymatic activity and lead to diminished global H3K4 methylation in germinal center (GC) B cells and DLBCL, consistent with the enrichment of KMT2D binding at enhancer and promoter regions marked by mono- and tri-methylation. Conditional deletion of Kmt2d early during B cell development, but not after initiation of the GC reaction, leads to an increase in GC B cells, whose transcriptional profile is enriched in cell-cycle regulatory and B-cell receptor signaling genes. Consistently, Kmt2d-deficient B cells exhibit proliferative advantage ex vivo. Loss of Kmt2d combined with BCL2 deregulation, mimicking FL/DLBCL pathogenesis, leads to an increased incidence of clonal lymphoproliferations resembling the features of the human tumors. These findings suggest that early KMT2D loss facilitates lymphomagenesis by remodeling the epigenetic landscape of the cancer precursor cells. Eradication of KMT2D-deficient cells may represent a rational therapeutic approach targeting early tumorigenic events.
