Description
RNAseq analysis of BAFF in vitro-stimulated (6 hours) murine nfkb2fl/flCD19-Cre (furtheron designated as REL) and CD19-Cre (furtheron designated as WT) splenic B cells identifies genes regulated by the transcription factor NF-kB2 in BAFF-stimulated B cells. Overall design: Splenic B cells from 12-week old relfl/flCD19-Cre and CD19-Cre littermate mice were isolated by magnetic cell separation from splenic mononuclear cells and stimulated in vitro for 6 hours with BAFF.

Description
Macrophage polarization between the M2 (repair, pro-tumorigenic) and M1 (inflammatory) phenotypes is seen as a continuum of states. The detailed transcriptional events and signals downstream of CSF-1R that contribute to amplification of the M2 phenotype and suppression of the M1 phenotype are largely unknown. Macrophage CSF-1R pTyr-721 signaling promotes cell motility and enhancement of tumor cell invasion in vitro. Combining analysis of cellular systems for CSF-1R gain-of-function and loss-of-function with bioinformatic analysis of the macrophage CSF-1R pTyr-721-regulated transcriptome, we uncovered miR-21 as a downstream molecular switch controlling macrophage activation and identified ERK1/2 and NF-B as CSF-1R pTyr-721-regulated signaling nodes. We show that CSF-1R pTyr-721 signaling suppresses the proinflammatory phenotype, predominantly by induction of miR-21. Profiling of the miR-21-regulated mRNAs revealed that 80% of the CSF-1-regulated canonical miR-21 targets are pro-inflammatory molecules. Additionally, miR-21 positively regulates M2 marker expression. Moreover, miR-21 feeds back to positively regulate its own expression and to limit CSF-1R-mediated activation of ERK1/2 and NF-B. Consistent with an anti-inflammatory role of miRNA-21, intraperitoneal injection of mice with a miRNA-21 inhibitor increases the recruitment of inflammatory monocytes and enhances the peritoneal monocyte/macrophage response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS).

Description
The adaptor protein LNK (SH2B3) has emerged as an important protein in regulating B cell development B cell leukemia. Loss-of-function mutations in LNK (SH2B3) are found in Philadelphia chromosomelike acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph-like ALL), but how LNK regulates normal B cell development or promotes leukemogenesis remains unclear. We found that combined loss of Lnk and tumor suppressors Tp53 in mice triggers a highly aggressive and transplantable precursor B-ALL. This study aims to investigate the molecular mechanism by which LNK regulates B-ALL development. We performed expression profiling of bone marrow proB progenitors from WT, Tp53-/-, Lnk-/- and preleukemic healthy Tp53/Lnk double knockout (DKO) mice, as well as leukemic bone marrow cells from DKO mice that have developed B-ALL. Results suggest that Tp53-/-Lnk-/- B-ALLs display similar gene expression profiles to human Ph-like B-ALLs, suggesting this model for preclinical and molecular studies.

RNA-seq analysis of murine eGFP+ relbfl/flnfkb2fl/flCg1-Cre and Cg1-Cre splenic germinal center B cells identifies genes regulated by the transcription factors RELB and p52 (NF-kB2) in germinal center B cells. Overall design: Germinal center B cells from 12-week old relbfl/flnfkb2fl/flCg1-Cre and Cg1-Cre littermate mice immunized with sheep red blood cells (SRBC) were isolated at day 7 after immunization by flow cytometric sorting from splenic mononuclear cells.

Description
Histone deacetylase 9 (HDAC9) is expressed in B cells, and its overexpression has been observed in B-lymphoproliferative disorders, including B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL). We examined HDAC9 protein expression and copy number alterations in primary B-NHL samples, identifying high HDAC9 expression among various lymphoma entities and HDAC9 copy number gains in 50% of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). To study the role of HDAC9 in lymphomagenesis, we generated a genetically engineered mouse (GEM) model that constitutively expressed an HDAC9 transgene throughout B-cell development under the control of the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) enhancer (E). Here, we report that the E-HDAC9 GEM model develops splenic marginal zone lymphoma and lymphoproliferative disease (LPD) with progression towards aggressive DLBCL, with gene expression profiling supporting a germinal center cell origin, as is also seen in human B-NHL tumors. Analysis of E-HDAC9 tumors suggested that HDAC9 might contribute to lymphomagenesis by altering pathways involved in growth and survival, as well as modulating BCL6 activity and p53 tumor suppressor function. Epigenetic modifications play an important role in the germinal center response, and deregulation of the B-cell epigenome as a consequence of mutations and other genomic aberrations are being increasingly recognized as important steps in the pathogenesis of a variety of B-cell lymphomas. A thorough mechanistic understanding of these alterations will inform the use of targeted therapies for these malignancies. These findings strongly suggest a role for HDAC9 in B-NHL and establish a novel GEM model for the study of lymphomagenesis and, potentially, preclinical testing of therapeutic approaches based on histone deacetylase inhibitors.

Description
Most human B cell lymphomas (B-NHL) are derived from germinal centers (GCs), the structure where B-cells undergo class switch recombination (CSR) and somatic hypermutation (SHM) and are selected for high-affinity antibody production. The pathogenesis of B-NHL is associated with distinct genetic lesions, including chromosomal translocations and aberrant somatic hypermutation, which appear to arise from mistakes occurring during CSR and SHM. To ascertain the role of CSR and SHM in lymphomagenesis, we crossed three oncogene-driven (MYC, BCL6, MYC/BCL6) mouse models of B cell lymphoma with mice lacking activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID), the enzyme required for both processes.

Description
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most common form of lymphoma in adulthood, comprises multiple biologically and clinically distinct subtypes including germinal center B cell-like (GCB) and activated B cell like (ABC) DLBCL. Gene expression profile studies have shown that its most aggressive subtype, ABC-DLBCL, is associated with constitutive activation of the NF-kB transcription complex. However, except for a small fraction of cases, it remains unclear whether NF-kB activation in these tumors represents an intrinsic program of the tumor cell of origin or a pathogenetic event. Here we show that >50% of ABC-DLBCL and a smaller fraction of GCB-DLBCL carry somatic mutations at multiple genes, including negative (TNFAIP3/A20) and positive (CARD11, TRAF2, TRAF5, MAP3K7/TAK1 and TNFRSF11A/RANK) regulators of NF-kB. Of these, the A20 gene, which encodes for a ubiquitin-modifying enzyme involved in termination of NF-kB responses, is the most commonly affected one, with ~30% of the patients displaying biallelic inactivation by mutations and/or deletions, suggesting a tumor suppressor role. Less frequently, missense mutations of TRAF2 and CARD11 produce molecules with significantly enhanced ability to activate NF-kB. Thus, our results demonstrate that NF-kB activation in DLBCL is caused by genetic lesions affecting multiple genes, whose loss or activation may promote lymphomagenesis by leading to abnormally prolonged NF-kB responses.
