SAMHD1 Is Variably Expressed in Mantle Cell Lymphoma and Correlated to SOX11 but Not to Survival
ConclusionsIn MCL the expression of SAMHD1 varies over a broad range and correlates to expression of SOX11. However, no significant difference in PFS or OS among patients receiving Ara-C containing induction chemotherapy is found in this study.DisclosuresNo relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

FoxM1-Mediated Signaling Promotes the Progression of Mantle Cell Lymphoma
ConclusionWe have shown that FoxM1 inhibition may be a potential candidate treatment for MCL based on the results of our clinicopathological assessment and in vivo studies. Therefore, exploring the role of FoxM1 in MCL disease progression and therapeutic resistance may lead to novel therapeutic breakthroughs to improve patient clinical outcomes.DisclosuresWang: MoreHealth: Consultancy; Celgene: Honoraria, Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees, Research Funding; AstraZeneca: Consultancy, Research Funding; Kite Pharma: Research Funding; Janssen: Consultancy, Honoraria, Membership on an entity's ...

The Role of Thrombin Deficiency on Skeletal Health
ConclusionThis study seeks to understand the underlying mechanism for bone disease in hemophilia. The results indicate that >85% prothrombin knockdown in wild-type mice starting at 3 weeks of age does not significantly alter skeletal health. This suggests that either 1) thrombin deficiency is not involved in the mechanism of decreased skeletal health in hemophilia or; 2) the role of thrombin deficiency occurs early in bone development (prior to 3 weeks of age). To evaluate these two potential explanations, thrombin deficiency needs to be evaluated earlier in development. Thrombin deficient mice are embryonically lethal....

SOX4 is a direct target gene of FRA-2 and induces expression of HDAC8 in adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma
Previously, we have shown that an AP-1 family member, FRA-2, is constitutively expressed in adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) and, together with JUND, upregulates CCR4 and promotes ATL cell growth. Among the identified potential target genes of FRA-2/JUND was SOX4. Here, we examine the expression and function of SOX4 in ATL. SOX4 was indeed consistently expressed in primary ATL cells. FRA-2/JUND efficiently activated the SOX4 promoter via an AP-1 site. Knockdown of SOX4 expression by small interfering RNA (siRNA) strongly suppressed cell growth of ATL cell lines. Microarray analyses revealed that SOX4 knockdown reduced ...

Thrombospondin-1 modulates VEGF signaling via CD36 by recruiting SHP-1 to VEGFR2 complex in microvascular endothelial cells
Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) inhibits growth factor signaling at the receptor level in microvascular endothelial cells (MVEC), and CD36 has been suggested to be involved in this inhibition, but the mechanisms are not known. We hypothesized that CD36-TSP-1 interaction recruits Src homology 2 domain–containing protein tyrosine phosphatase (SHP)-1 to the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) signaling complex and attenuates vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling. Western blots of anti-CD36 and anti-VEGFR2 immunoprecipitates from VEGF-treated MVEC showed that exposure of the cells to a recombina...

DEPTOR regulates vascular endothelial cell activation and proinflammatory and angiogenic responses
In this study, we find that DEP domain containing mTOR interacting protein (DEPTOR) is expressed in different microvascular ECs in vitro and in vivo, and using a small interfering RNA (siRNA) knockdown approach, we find that it regulates mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2, and signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 activation in part through independent mechanisms. Moreover, using limited gene arrays, we observed that DEPTOR regulates EC activation including mRNA expression of the T-cell chemoattractant chemokines CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11, CX3CL1, CCL5, and ...

Aurora Kinase a/MDM2-Mediated SETD2 Loss of Function in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Patients in Blast Crisis Induces Genetic Instability and Can be Therapeutically Targeted
In conclusion, phosphorylation by Aurora Kinase A and ubiquitination by MDM2 contribute to SETD2 non-genomic loss of function in advanced-phase CML. Loss of SETD2/H3K36me3 is associated with increased DNA damage and impaired HR repair. Restoring physiological H3K36me3 levels may help improve the outcome of this critical subset of pts.Acknowledgments: study supported by AIRC (project code 16996) and AIL (Associazione Italiana contro le Leucemia, Linfomi e Mieloma).Figure 1.DisclosuresCastagnetti: Incyte: Consultancy, Honoraria; Pfizer: Consultancy, Honoraria; Bristol Meyers Squibb: Consultancy, Honoraria; Novartis: Consulta...

MDM2 and Aurora Kinase a Contribute to SETD2 Loss of Function in Advanced Systemic Mastocytosis: Implications for Pathogenesis and Treatment
The SETD2 gene encodes the only methyltransferase responsible for histone H3 lysine 36 trimethylation (H3K36Me3) in humans. H3K36me3 play a key role in preserving the fidelity of transcription elongation and splicing. In addition, SETD2/H3K36me3 have more recently been implicated in the maintenance of genomic integrity by regulating homologous recombination (HR) repair, Mismatch Repair (MMR) mitotic spindle assembly and chromosome segregation. SETD2 deletions and/or inactivating mutations occur in many solid tumors and have recently been found also in acute leukemias. We have reported that the HMC-1.1 and -1.2 mast cell le...

Musashi 2 Is Overexpressed in Poor Outcome CLL Patients and Their Proliferative Fraction and Silencing This Gene Induces Apoptosis and Increases Cell Adhesion and Movement
The growth of CLL cells stems from a small fraction of dividing CD5+B cells. The size and rate of growth of this proliferative fraction (PF) correlates directly with poor outcome prognostic markers and inversely with time-to-first-treatment. Furthermore, since dividing cells upregulate DNA mutators (AID and APOBEC), the PF can acquire new DNA abnormalities that can lead to more lethal disease. Hence, cells of the PF are important targets for therapy.By gene expression profile analysis, we found that Musashi 2 (MSI2) is highly expressed in the PF (CXCR4DimCD5Bright) compared with the resting fraction (RF) that expresses the...

SHP1 Deficiency Is Responsible for the Constitutive Activation of the BCR Pathway in GCB DLBCL
In this study, we investigated whether activation of the BCR pathway in GCB DLBCL is potentially caused by deficiency of the phosphatase SHP1, which is an important negative regulator of the BCR pathway and has been reported to be downregulated in approximately 40% of primary DLBCL tumors. For this purpose, we first correlated SHP1 expression with the presence of phosphorylated SYK and BLNK in the GCB DLBCL cell lines OCI-Ly1, OCI-Ly7, OCI-Ly18, SU-DHL-4, SU-DHL-6, WSU-NHL, SU-DHL-8, Toledo, BJAB, OCI-Ly19, OCI-Ly4, and Farage. Immunoblotting analysis revealed that SHP1 is expressed in SU-DHL-8, Toledo, BJAB, OCI-Ly19, OCI...

The Novel Tumor Suppressor SAMHD1 Is Differentially Expressed and Partly Regulated By MYC in Peripheral T-Cell Lymphomas (PTCL)
Conclusions: SAMHD1 is shown for the first time to be differentially expressed among PTCL types and its regulation may involve MYC. Preliminary survival analysis shows no significant associations of SAMHD1 expression with EFS and OS in this cohort of PTCL, however, analysis of a larger PTCL study group is underway to draw definite conclusions.DisclosuresÖsterborg: Gilead: Consultancy, Research Funding; Beigene: Research Funding; Pharmacyclics: Research Funding; Janssen: Research Funding; Abbvie: Research Funding.
