Description
Inactivating mutations of the gene encoding for the CREBBP acetyltransferase are highly frequent in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL, 30% of cases) and follicular lymphoma (FL, 60% of cases), the two most common cancers derived from thegerminal-center (GC). However, the role of CREBBP inactivation in lymphomagenesisremains unclear. Using functional epigenomics and mouse genetics, here we definethe program modulated by CREBBP in primary human GC B cells and show thatCREBBP regulates enhancer/super-enhancer networks, with specific roles in GC/post-GC cell fate decisions. Conditional GC-specific deletion of Crebbp in the mouseperturbs the expression of a limited set of genes involved in the regulation of signaltransduction (BCR, TLR and CD40), lineage specification (NF-B and BCL6) andterminal B cell differentiation (PRDM1, IRF4). Consistently, Crebbp-deficient B cellsexhibit proliferative advantage and show impaired plasma cell differentiation. WhileGC-specific loss of Crebbp was not sufficient to initiate malignant transformation,compound Crebbp-haploinsufficient/BCL2-transgenic mice, mimicking the genetics ofFL and DLBCL, display an increased incidence of clonal lymphoid malignanciesrecapitulating the features of the human diseases. These findings establish CREBBPas a haploinsufficient tumor suppressor gene in GC B cells and provide insights intothe mechanisms and targes by which loss of CREBBP contributes to lymphomagenesis.
