Abstract Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is uniquely sensitive to treatment with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), which overcomes the differentiation arrest and induces terminal granulocytic differentiation of the leukemic blasts. In 98% of the cases of APL, the leukemic cells express a promyelocytic leukemia (PML)- retinoic acid receptor a (RARa) fusion protein as a result of a t(15;17) chromosome translocation. Previously, we have identified Id1 and Id2 as direct retinoic acid target genes being upregulated after ATRA stimulation in the APL cell line NB4 as well as in primary leukemic cells from APL patients. Id (inhibitor of DNA-binding) proteins act as antagonists of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors by trapping them in heterodimeric complexes, thereby inhibiting DNA-binding and gene transactivation. Various bHLH proteins are pivotal in the control of differentiation and proliferation in various tissues (like muscle and nerve). We have studied the expression pattern of E2A, an ubiquitously expressed bHLH protein, which is generally considered as a promiscuous heterodimerization partner of other, more tissue restricted bHLH proteins. The expression of E2A was high in untreated APL cells and strongly downregulated upon ATRA stimulation. The simultaneous upregulation of Id1 and Id2, and the downregulation of E2A suggest a role for bHLH proteins in the induction of differentiation of APL cells upon treatment with ATRA. To assess the importance of Id1 and Id2 induction for the neutrophilic differentiation of the cells, we have overexpressed both proteins in the APL cell line NB4 using amphotropic retroviral transduction. Ectopic expression of Id1 and Id2 resulted in respectively 27% (n=3, SD= 9%) and 48% (n=3, SD=25%) inhibition of clonogenic growth in semi-solid medium, compared to vector-transduced control cells. Apart from the reduction in the number of colonies, overexpression of Id1 and Id2 did not alter the ATRA sensitivity of APL cells. NB4 liquid cultures revealed that Id1 and Id2 overexpression resulted in inhibition of proliferation and an increase of the percentage of cells in G0/G1, without having an effect on differentiation or apoptosis. These results indicate that Id1 and Id2 are important retinoic acid responsive genes in APL, and suggest that the inhibition of specific bHLH transcription factor complexes may play a role in the therapeutic effect of ATRA in APL.

Pax5 activity is enhanced in activated B cells and is essential for class switch recombination (CSR). We show that inhibitor of differentiation (Id)2 suppresses CSR by repressing the gene expression of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID), which has been shown to be indispensable for CSR. Furthermore, a putative regulatory region of AID contains E2A- and Pax5-binding sites, and the latter site is indispensable for AID gene expression. Moreover, the DNA-binding activity of Pax5 is decreased in Id2-overexpressing B cells and enhanced in Id2−/− B cells. The kinetics of Pax5, but not E2A, occupancy to AID locus is the same as AID expression in primary B cells. Finally, enforced expression of Pax5 induces AID transcription in pro–B cell lines. Our results provide evidence that the balance between Pax5 and Id2 activities has a key role in AID gene expression.

Abstract The survival, self-renewal and differentiation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) are tightly regulated by extrinsic signals, and intrinsically by transcription factors and their regulatory networks. The molecular and cellular mechanisms, which regulate the complex process of hematopoiesis, depend upon the correct expression of transcription factors and their regulators. One such family of regulators is the inhibitor of DNA binding/differentiation (Id), which is helix-loop-helix proteins that function by acting as dominant negative regulators of transcription factors such as E proteins, ETS, Pax, and retinoblastoma proteins. Expression of Id2, one of the Id family proteins, is regulated by growth factor independence-1 (Gfi-1) encoding a transcriptional repressor. Gfi-1 is required for the development of multiple cell lineages including HSPC and ultimately differentiated blood cells. Although genes have been identified to mediate hematopoietic defects observed in Gfi-1 knockout (Gfi-1 KO) mice including the maturational and developmental defects in granulocyte (CSF-1, RasGRP1, and PU.1) and B cell (PU.1 or Id2), and myeloid hyperplasia (Id2 or HoxA9), Gfi-1-target genes that mediate the defects in radioprotection, maintenance of HSC, and erythroid hyperplasia in Gfi-1 KO mice are unknown. Since Id2 expression is elevated in HSPC of Gfi-1 KO mice and Id2 promotes cell proliferation, we hypothesized that lowering Id2 expression could rescue the HSPC defects in the Gfi-1 KO mice. By transplanting Gfi-1 KO mouse bone marrow cells (BMC) into lethally-irradiated recipient mice, we observed that short-term reconstituting cell (STRC) activity in Gfi-1 KO BMC is rescued by transplanting Gfi-1 KO; Id2 Het (heterozygosity at the Id2 locus) BMC, while the long-term reconstitution defect of HSC was not. Interestingly, lineage- Sca-1- c-Kithi HPC, which enriched for megakaryocyte-erythroid progenitor (MEP) as one of the STRC, were fully restored in mice transplanted with Gfi-1 KO; Id2 Het BMC, in contrast to lack of the HPC in Gfi-1 KO BM-transplanted mice. The restoration of donor c-Kithi HPC was directly correlated with increased red blood cell (RBC) levels in recipient mice, which was produced after donor BM engraftment. Furthermore, we identified that reduced Id2 levels restore erythroid cell development by rescuing short-term hematopoietic stem cell, common myeloid progenitor and MEP in the Gfi-1 KO mice. In addition, burst forming unit-erythroid (BFU-E) colony assay showed that hemoglobinized BFU-E development was restored in Gfi-1 KO BM and spleen by lowering Id2 levels. Unlike Id2 reduction, reducing other Id family (Id1 or Id3) levels in Gfi-1 KO mice does not rescue the impaired development of erythroid and other hematopoietic lineages including myeloid, T and B cells. Abnormal expansion of CD71+ Ter119-/low erythroid progenitor cells was rescued in Gfi-1 KO; Id2 Het BMC compared to those in Gfi-1 KO mice. Thus, we hypothesized that erythroid development was blocked at the early stage of erythropoiesis due to the ectopic expression of Id2 in Gfi-1 KO mice. Using Id2 promoter-driven YFP reporter mice, we found that Id2 is highly expressed in the CD71+ Ter119-/low erythroid progenitors, and decreases as the cells mature to pro-erythroblasts and erythroblasts, suggesting that repression of Id2 expression is required for proper erythroid differentiation in the later stages. The dramatic changes of Id2 expression during erythroid development support our findings that the overexpression of Id2 in the absence of Gfi-1-mediated transcriptional repression causes impaired erythropoiesis at the early stage. To identify the molecular mechanisms that could account for how reduced Id2 levels rescue erythropoiesis in Gfi-1 KO mice, we compared the expression of genes and proteins in Gfi-1 KO; Id2 Het and Gfi-1 KO BMC. Using microarray, qRT-PCR and western blot, we discovered that reduction of Id2 expression in Gfi-1 KO BMC results in increased expression of Gata1, EKlf, and EpoR genes, which are required for erythropoiesis. However, the expression levels of cell cycle regulators were not altered by lowering Id2 expression in Gfi-1 KO mice. These data suggest a novel molecular mechanism in which Gfi-1 modulates erythropoiesis by repressing the expression of Id2 that reduce the levels of Id2 protein, binding to E2A and inhibiting the formation of E2A/Scl transcription enhancer complex.

ABSTRACT Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is associated with the development of malignant lymphomas and lymphoproliferative disorders in immunocompromised individuals. The LMP2A protein of EBV is thought to play a central role in this process by allowing the virus to persist in latently infected B lymphocytes. We have demonstrated that LMP2A, when expressed in B cells of transgenic mice, allows normal B-cell developmental checkpoints to be bypassed. To identify cellular genes targeted by LMP2A that are involved in this process, we have utilized DNA microarrays to compare gene transcription in B cells from wild-type versus LMP2A transgenic mice. In B cells from LMP2A transgenic mice, we observed decreased expression of many genes associated with normal B-cell development as well as reduced levels of the transcription factors that regulate their expression. In particular, expression of the transcription factor E2A was down-regulated in bone marrow and splenic B cells. Furthermore, E2A activity was inhibited in these cells as determined by decreased DNA binding and reduced expression of its target genes, including the transcription factors early B-cell factor and Pax-5. Expression of two E2A inhibitors, Id2 and SCL, was up-regulated in splenic B cells expressing LMP2A, suggesting a possible mechanism for E2A inhibition. These results indicate that LMP2A deregulates transcription factor expression and activity in developing B cells, and this likely allows for a bypass of normal signaling events required for proper B-cell development. The ability of LMP2A to interfere with B-cell transcription factor regulation has important implications regarding its role in EBV latency.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract ZNF384 fusion (Z-fusion) genes are recently identified recurrent fusion genes of B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and cause differentiation block of B-cells; however, its molecular mechanisms have yet to be clarified. Common structural character of Z-fusion proteins is that fusion partners are fused to the N-terminal end of full-length ZNF384 (Figure 1A), suggesting that protein-fusions confer specific transcriptional targets on ZNF384. We searched Z-fusion-specific transcriptional targets that could cause differentiation block of B-cells by analyzing the data of gene expression profile of 54 primary B-ALL samples containing 9 Z-fusion positive ALL. We selected ID2 and SALL4 as potential targets. Both genes were expressed markedly higher in Z-fusion-positive ALL. ID2 acts as an inhibitor of E2A, B cell differentiation regulator, and SALL4 plays essential roles in maintaining pluripotency of embryonic stem cells. In the luciferase assays, EP300-ZNF384 (E-Z) and SYNRG-ZNF384 (S-Z) showed stronger transcriptional activities on the promoters of these genes than wild-type ZNF384 (Wild-Z). The introduction of E-Z or S-Z into 293T cells and THP-1 cells induced mRNA expression of these genes more strongly than that of Wild-Z (Figure 1B). We identified Z-fusion binding sites in the promoters of these genes. DNA binding abilities of Z-fusions to these sites were not stronger than that of Wild-Z in electro mobility shift assay. GST-pull down assay showed that E-Z associated with EP300 more strongly than Wild-Z (Figure 1C). Consistent with this, co-expression of EP300 enhanced the transcriptional activity of E-Z better than that of Wild-Z (Figure 1D). These results indicated that ID2 and SALL4 were Z-fusion-specific transcriptional targets and that the high affinity to EP300 was responsible for the strong transcriptional activity of Z-fusions. Our results shed a new insight into the molecular mechanisms of leukemia development by Z-fusions. Figure legends Figure 1. A. Schematic presentation of structures of Wild-Z and Z-fusion proteins. B. Introduction of Z-fusion genes enhanced the mRNA expression of ID2 and SALL4. Wild-Z and Z-fusion genes were introduced to THP-1 cells by nucleofection. Twenty-four hours after gene introduction, the mRNA expression of ID2 and SALL4 were quantified by RQ-PCR and potted on bar charts as relative values to the mRNA expression in the control cells. The expression of ID2 and SALL4 were shown in the left and right bar charts, respectively. C. E-Z associated with HAT more strongly than Wild-Z.

Of note, the quantified association were adjusted for the ratio of the number of methionine containing in Wild-Z and E-Z, 12 to 45, and plotted on the bar charts. D. Co-expression of EP300 enhanced the transcriptional activity of E-Z better than that of Wild-Z.

The Id proteins and basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins play major roles in specifying cell fate decisions in diverse biologic settings. A potential role for Id and TAL1/E2A bHLH genes in hematopoiesis has been suggested by studies on immortalized cell lines. However, it is uncertain whether these observations reflect normal hematopoiesis. We have investigated the expression pattern of Id2 and TAL1/E2A genes in liquid suspension culture of purified hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPCs) undergoing erythroid or granulopoietic differentiation in the first culture week and maturation to terminal cells in the second week. In quiescent, freshly purified HPCs, Id2 mRNA is detected by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), whereas TAL1 and E2A mRNAs are not. At the onset of erythroid differentiation, Id2 mRNA is downregulated, while E2A and TAL1 mRNAs are concomitantly upregulated: their expression is further increased at erythroblast level. Conversely, Id2 is not downmodulated in granulopoietic culture, except for a late decline at day 10 to 12, while TAL1 and E2A are only transiently induced in the first week of granulopoietic differentiation. The expression pattern of the TAL1/E2A heterodimer, as evaluated by mobility shift assay, is consistent with RT-PCR results (except for lower levels of the heterodimer in late erythroid maturation). TAL1 protein level, analyzed by Western blot, shows a pattern consistent with gelshift results. Functional experiments were performed on purified HPCs treated with phosphorothioate antisense oligodeoxynucleotides to Id2 or TAL1 mRNA. The results are strictly consistent with the expression studies: anti-Id2 oligomer (alpha-Id2) causes a significant dose-dependent increase of erythroid colony formation, whereas alpha-TAL1 induces a selective dose-related inhibitory effect on erythroid colonies, as compared with untreated or scrambled oligomer-treated control HPCs. Finally, murine and human glutathione-S-transferase (GST)-Id2 polypeptides compete the TAL1/E2A- specific DNA binding activity when added to the nuclear extracts derived from erythroid culture cells, thus indicating biochemical and suggesting functional interaction of Id2 with the TAL1/E2A complex. These novel observations indicate a coordinate expression and function of an inhibitory Id protein (Id2) and a stimulatory bHLH/bHLH heterodimer (TAL1/E2A) in normal erythroid differentiation.

The Id2 transcriptional repressor is essential for development of natural killer (NK) cells, lymphoid tissue–inducing (LTi) cells, and secondary lymphoid tissues. Id2 was proposed to regulate NK and LTi lineage specification from multipotent progenitors through suppression of E proteins. We report that NK cell progenitors are not reduced in the bone marrow (BM) of Id2−/− mice, demonstrating that Id2 is not essential for NK lineage specification. Rather, Id2 is required for development of mature (m) NK cells. We define the mechanism by which Id2 functions by showing that a reduction in E protein activity, through deletion of E2A, overcomes the need for Id2 in development of BM mNK cells, LTi cells, and secondary lymphoid tissues. However, mNK cells are not restored in the blood or spleen of Id2−/−E2A−/− mice, suggesting a role for Id2 in suppression of alternative E proteins after maturation. Interestingly, the few splenic mNK cells in Id2−/− and Id2−/−E2A−/− mice have characteristics of thymus-derived NK cells, which develop in the absence of Id2, implying a differential requirement for Id2 in BM and thymic mNK development. Our findings redefine the essential functions of Id2 in lymphoid development and provide insight into the dynamic regulation of E and Id proteins during this process.

Abstract Inhibitors of DNA binding (Id) family members are key regulators of cellular differentiation and proliferation. These activities are related to the ability of Id proteins to antagonize E proteins and other transcription factors. As negative regulators of E proteins, Id proteins have been implicated in lymphocyte development. Overexpression of Id1, Id2, or Id3 has similar effects on lymphocyte development. However, which Id protein plays a physiologic role during lymphocyte development is not clear. By analyzing Id2 knock-out mice and retroviral transduced hematopoietic progenitors, we demonstrated that Id2 is an intrinsic negative regulator of B-cell development. Hematopoietic progenitor cells overexpressing Id2 did not reconstitute B-cell development in vivo, which resembled the phenotype of E2A null mice. The B-cell population in bone marrow was significantly expanded in Id2 knock-out mice compared with their wild-type littermates. Knock-down of Id2 by shRNA in hematopoietic progenitor cells promoted B-cell differentiation and induced the expression of B-cell lineage–specific genes. These data identified Id2 as a physiologically relevant regulator of E2A during B lymphopoiesis. Furthermore, we identified a novel Id2 function in erythroid development. Overexpression of Id2 enhanced erythroid development, and decreased level of Id2 impaired normal erythroid development. Id2 regulation of erythroid development is mediated via interacting with transcription factor PU.1 and modulating PU.1 and GATA-1 activities. We conclude that Id2 regulates lymphoid and erythroid development via interaction with different target proteins.

The basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins encoded by the E2A gene are broadly expressed transcription regulators which function through binding to the E-box enhancer sequences. The DNA binding activities of E2A proteins are directly inhibited upon dimerization with the Id1 gene product. It has been shown that disruption of the E2A gene leads to a complete block in B-lymphocyte development and a high frequency of neonatal death. We report here that nearly half of the surviving E2A-null mice develop acute T-cell lymphoma between 3 to 10 months of age. We further show that disruption of the Id1 gene improves the chance of postnatal survival of E2A-null mice, indicating that Id1 is a canonical negative regulator of E2A and that the unbalanced ratio of E2A to Id1 may contribute to the postnatal death of the E2A-null mice. However, the E2A/Id1 double-knockout mice still develop T-cell tumors once they reach the age of 3 months. This result suggests that E2A may be essential for maintaining the homeostasis of T lymphocytes during their constant renewal in adult life.

Abstract The ability of hematopoietic stem cells to tightly regulate the transition from relative quiescence and self-renewal to the transiently amplifying, differentiating progenitor fate is critical for HSC homeostasis as well as their regenerative capacity. We have recently described the diminished frequency and rapid exhaustion of HSC self-renewal capacity in the absence of the dominant negative helix-loop-helix molecule Id1. Furthermore, Id1 null HSCs have an increased rate of cycling, coupled with accelerated myeloid commitment both in vivo and in vitro. This is reflected in the elevated expression of myelo-erythroid transcription factors (c/EBPalpha and GATA1) within the Lin−c-kit+Sca-1+ population - “myeloid priming”. The major targets of Id1 mediated transcriptional repression are the ubiquitous E protein E2A as well as Ets transcription factors (Ets1 and Ets2). We hypothesized that the unrestrained activity of these and/or other targets of Id1 transcriptional repression leads to premature HSC commitment in Id1 null animals. Indeed, we show that HSC differentiation in culture can be delayed by transduction of E2A directed shRNA specifically in Id1 null, but not in wild-type Id1 expressing cells. This indicates an abnormal E2A activity in Id1 null HSCs that could be responsible for their increased differentiation status. To further define the transcriptional deregulation in Id1 null HSCs, we have used the Affymetrix microarray technology. We observed ~3 fold increased expression of the CDK inhibitor p21 in freshly isolated Id1 null HSCs and have confirmed this result by multiple independent qPCR measurements. The transcriptional induction of p21 by E2A as well as its repression by Id1 have been well established. Therefore, the observed p21 induction could be explained by the elevated level of E2A activity in HSCs in the absence of Id1 expression. To explore the functional significance of Id1 mediated p21 regulation in HSCs, we have generated p21/Id1 double knockout animals. Surprisingly, despite its reported function in restricting the cell cycle entry of normal HSCs, we show that in the context of Id1 loss, p21 expression is required for the accelerated HSC cycling, and unlike Id1 single null HSCs, p21/Id1 double knockout HSCs do not show accelerated myeloid differentiation in culture. Therefore, we propose that Id1 actively represses E2A activity in HSCs, as well as the induction of p21, which could be an important component of the HSC commitment program. Further studies will be presented defining the in vivo relevance of the Id1/p21 genetic interaction for HSC growth and differentiation.

ABSTRACT The basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors, E2A and HEB, play important roles in T-cell development at multiple checkpoints. Expression of their inhibitor, Id1, abolishes the function of both transcription factors in a dose-dependent manner. The Id1 transgenic thymus is characterized by an accumulation of CD4− CD8− CD44+ CD25− thymocytes, a dramatic reduction of CD4+ CD8+ thymocytes, and an abundance of apoptotic cells. Here we show that these apoptotic cells carry functional T-cell receptors (TCRs), suggesting that apoptosis occurs during T-cell maturation. In contrast, viable Id1 transgenic CD4 single positive T cells exhibit costimulation-independent proliferation upon treatment with anti-CD3 antibody, probably due to a hyperresponse to TCR signaling. Furthermore, Id1 expression causes apoptosis of CD4 and CD8 double- or single-positive thymocytes in HY- or AND-TCR transgenic mice under conditions that normally support positive selection. Collectively, these results suggest that E2A and HEB proteins are crucial for controlling the threshold for TCR signaling, and Id1 expression lowers the threshold, resulting in apoptosis of developing thymocytes.

The helix-loop-helix transcription factor E2A plays important roles not only in promoting cellular differentiation but also in suppressing cell growth. Id proteins, the inhibitors of E2A, have opposite effects on cell differentiation and growth. To understand the mechanisms by which E2A suppresses cell growth, we examined the role of E2A in regulating the expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21CIP1/WAF1/SD11, which prevents cell cycle progression upon overexpression. By using transient-cotransfection assays of luciferase reporter constructs in HeLa cells, we have found that overexpression of E2A can transcriptionally activate the p21 gene. To identify the sequences that mediate this activation in the promoter of the p21 gene, we carried out mutational analyses. Out of the eight putative E2A-binding sequences (E1 to E8) in the promoter, the E1 to E3 sequences located close to the transcription start site are found to be essential. In addition, loss of the E boxes in the promoter also reduces p21 expression without cotransfection with E2A in HIT pancreatic cells, where the endogenous E2A-like activity is high. Furthermore, we have also shown that overexpression of E2A in 293T cells activates expression of the endogenous p21 gene at both the levels of mRNA and protein. In correlation with the finding that E47 overexpression leads to growth arrest in NIH 3T3 cells, we have shown that Id1 overexpression in NIH 3T3 cells accelerates cell growth and inhibits p21 expression. Taken together, these results provide insight into the mechanisms by which E2A and Id proteins control cell growth.

The E2A gene encodes the E47 and E12 basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors. T cell development in E2A-deficient mice is partially arrested before lineage commitment. Here we demonstrate that E47 expression becomes uniformly high at the point at which thymocytes begin to commit towards the T cell lineage. E47 protein levels remain high until the double positive developmental stage, at which point they drop to relatively moderate levels, and are further downregulated upon transition to the single positive stage. However, stimuli that mimic pre-T cell receptor (TCR) signaling in committed T cell precursors inhibit E47 DNA-binding activity and induce the bHLH inhibitor Id3 through a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase–dependent pathway. Consistent with these observations, a deficiency in E2A proteins completely abrogates the developmental block observed in mice with defects in TCR rearrangement. Thus E2A proteins are necessary for both initiating T cell differentiation and inhibiting development in the absence of pre-TCR expression. Mechanistically, these data link pre-TCR mediated signaling and E2A downstream target genes into a common pathway.

Abstract Abstract 1229 Eto-family proteins were first discovered as translocation fusion in AML1 (Runx1), a gene most frequently disrupted in human leukemia. Of the translocations that disrupt the AML1 gene in leukemia, Eto1(MTG8)/AML1 translocation accounts for ∼15% of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). The Eto-family proteins function as transcriptional co-repressors that bind to DNA-binding transcription factors to regulate their target genes. Eto2 (MTG16) is an Eto-family member implicated in secondary or therapy-related AML, although recent reports provide evidence for Eto2/MTG16 translocations in de novo AML as well. Furthermore, recent studies have highlighted a role for MTG16 in HSC self renewal and T cell lineage specification, indicating its emerging role overall in hematopoiesis. The co-repressor function of Eto for E-proteins has been described previously in the context of Eto/AML1 fusion proteins. E-proteins are a class of basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors that play an important role in hematopoiesis. Among the E-protein family, the role of E2A has been extensively studied in B and T cell development. Recently, our lab discovered the specific requirement of the E-protein E2-2 in the development of Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells (pDC). pDC are the professional interferon producing (IPC) cells of our immune system important in anti-viral, anti-tumor and auto-immunity. pDC are a subtype of the antigen-presenting classical Dendritic Cells (cDC) with distinct structural and functional properties. Recently, we demonstrated that the putative cell fate plasticity of pDC was a direct manifestation of continuous E2-2 function. Using pDC-reporter mice in which E2-2 could be inducibly deleted from mature pDC we showed that the continuous expression of E2-2 was required to prevent the conversion of pDC to cDC. Here we report our current studies that investigate the molecular players underlying the E2-2 orchestrated genetic program for pDC cell fate decision and maintenance. Analyzing the transcriptome of the transitioning pDC, we have identified MTG16 as an important player in the fine regulation of DC lineage decisions. Using knock-out and chimeric mice, progenitor studies, promoter and biochemical analyses, we demonstrate MTG16 as an important E2-2 corepressor, promoting E2-2 mediated genetic program. We report that in order to facilitate the pDC cell fate, MTG16 enables E2-2 to suppress the cDC gene expression program, by negatively regulating the E-protein inhibitor Id2. The cell-fate conversion through deletion or overexpression of lineage-deciding transcriptional regulators has been described previously for B- and T cells. Theseh studies highlight the susceptibility of blood cells to aberrant functions of crucial transcriptional regulators, potentially leading to pathologic conditions. Therefore, understanding the interrelationship between the various genetic regulators that control lineage decisions and cell-fate plasticity is cardinal to accurate diagnosis and therapy for hematopoietic pathologies. Our study provides the first evidence for a physiological role of E-protein/Eto-protein interaction in dendritic cell lineage decision. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

The E2A proteins, E12 and E47, are required for progression through multiple developmental pathways, including early B and T lymphopoiesis. Here, we provide in vitro and in vivo evidence demonstrating that E47 activity regulates double-positive thymocyte maturation. In the absence of E47 activity, positive selection of both major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I– and class II–restricted T cell receptors (TCRs) is perturbed. Additionally, development of CD8 lineage T cells in an MHC class I–restricted TCR transgenic background is sensitive to the dosage of E47. Mice deficient for E47 display an increase in production of mature CD4 and CD8 lineage T cells. Furthermore, ectopic expression of an E2A inhibitor helix-loop-helix protein, Id3, promotes the in vitro differentiation of an immature T cell line. These results demonstrate that E2A functions as a regulator of thymocyte positive selection.

Abstract Dysregulation of transcriptional control is a common phenomenon associated with oncogenesis. Inhibitors of DNA binding (ID) proteins are critical actors in lymphopoiesis, acting as regulators of transcription through a helix-loop-helix (HLH) domain which enables heterodimerization with basic HLH (bHLH) proteins inhibiting their binding to DNA. ID proteins have been implicated in malignant transformation, but their role in multiple myeloma (MM) is unknown. Here, we evaluated the role of ID proteins in biology and transcriptional dysregulation in MM. We first evaluated the expression of the four ID proteins in normal and malignant plasma cells using RNA sequencing data from a cohort of 360 newly diagnosed MM patients and 16 normal plasma cells. We observed significant downregulation of ID2 in primary patient MM cells in comparison to normal plasma cells (p 0.0013). To study ID2 function in MM cells, we next overexpressed ID2 in 2 MM cell lines (MM1S and NCIH929) and observed a significant decrease in proliferation rate, together with G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest. We performed RNA-sequencing to evaluate the transcriptomic changes following ID2 overexpression. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) revealed significant downregulation of genes involved in E2F pathway and significant changes in pathways related to immune response, regulation of cell death and cell proliferation. In addition, analysis of upstream cis-regulatory motifs of genes significantly dysregulated in both cell lines (>1.5 fold change) showed a highly significant enrichment for bHLH class I transcription factors (E proteins) binding motifs. Conversely, stable ID2 knockdown in 4 MM cell lines (MM1S, NCIH929, RPMI8226 and KMS11) expressing intermediate levels of ID2, showed an increased proliferation rate, assessed by cell counting, H3-thymidine incorporation and ATP production. RNA-sequencing after ID2 knockdown in MM1S and NCIH929 cells showed 600 common genes upregulated in both cell lines (>1.5 fold change). GSEA revealed upregulation of pathways involved in inflammatory response and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, while upstream cis regulatory motifs analysis showed a highly significant enrichment for binding motifs of bHLH class I transcription factors E proteins, in particular Tcf3 (p <0.0001). Next, we sought to investigate the mechanisms involved in ID2 downregulation in MM. Since the role of the microenvironment is critical in myelomagenesis, we evaluated the impact of BM microenvironment on ID2 expression in a co-culture system. Using bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) derived from MM patients and stromal cell line (HS5) in co-culture with various MM cell lines, we observed that both cell-cell interactions and soluble factors secreted by BMSC or HS5 were able to significantly downregulate ID2 expression at the RNA and protein level. Furthermore, ID2 overexpression in MM cell lines (MM1S and NCIH929) abrogated the impact of BMSC on MM cell proliferation. Next, we evaluated ID2 promoter methylation profile and binding motifs using Sequenom mass array and the assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq), respectively. While we didn't observe any increase in methylation of CpG islands located in ID2 promoter in co-culture, explaining ID2 downregulation, we identified several binding motifs corresponding to known driver transcription factors in MM. Especially, we identified SP1 binding motif and we confirmed SP1 binding to ID2 promoter by ChIP-sequencing in MM1S, NCIH929 and U266. These data demonstrate that in MM, ID2 acts as a tumor suppressor by promoting major transcriptomic changes and cell cycle arrest. Bone marrow stromal cells further induce significant downregulation of ID2 in myeloma cells suggesting that ID2/bHLH axis and other ID2 related pathways represent a potential new therapeutic target in myeloma.

ABSTRACT Previous studies have suggested that the early-B-cell-specific mb-1(Igα) promoter is regulated by EBF and Pax-5. Here, we used in vivo footprinting assays to detect occupation of binding sites in endogenous mb-1 promoters at various stages of B-cell differentiation. In addition to EBF and Pax-5 binding sites, we detected occupancy of a consensus binding site for E2A proteins (E box) in pre-B cells. EBF and E box sites are crucial for promoter function in transfected pre-B cells, and EBF and E2A proteins synergistically activated the promoter in transfected HeLa cells. Other data suggest that EBF and E box sites are less important for promoter function at later stages of differentiation, whereas binding sites for Pax-5 (and its Ets ternary complex partners) are required for promoter function in all mb-1-expressing cells. Using DNA microarrays, we found that expression of endogenous mb-1 transcripts correlates most closely with EBF expression and negatively with Id1, an inhibitor of E2A protein function, further linking regulation of the mb-1 gene with EBF and E2A. Together, our studies demonstrate the complexity of factors regulating tissue-specific transcription and support the concept that EBF, E2A, and Pax-5 cooperate to activate target genes in early B-cell development.

Background: B1a and B1b lymphocytes produce IgM that inactivates oxidation-specific epitopes (IgM OSE ) on LDL (low-density lipoprotein) and protects against atherosclerosis. Loss of ID3 (inhibitor of differentiation 3) in B cells selectively promotes B1b but not B1a cell numbers, leading to higher IgM OSE production and reduction in atherosclerotic plaque formation. Yet, the mechanism underlying this regulation remains unexplored. Methods: Bulk RNA sequencing was utilized to identify differentially expressed genes in B1a and B1b cells from Id3 KO and Id3 WT mice. CRISPR/Cas9 and lentiviral genome editing coupled with adoptive transfer were used to identify key Id3 -dependent signaling pathways regulating B1b cell proliferation and the impact on atherosclerosis. Biospecimens from humans with advanced coronary artery disease imaging were analyzed to translate murine findings to human subjects with coronary artery disease. Results: Through RNA sequencing, P62 was found to be enriched in Id3 KO B1b cells. Further in vitro characterization reveals a novel role for P62 in mediating BAFF (B-cell activating factor)-induced B1b cell proliferation through interacting with TRAF6 (tumor necrosis factor receptor 6) and activating NF-κB (nuclear factor kappa B), leading to subsequent C-MYC (C-myelocytomatosis) upregulation. Promoter-reporter assays reveal that Id3 inhibits the E2A protein from activating the P62 promoter. Mice adoptively transferred with B1 cells overexpressing P62 exhibited an increase in B1b cell number and IgM OSE levels and were protected against atherosclerosis. Consistent with murine mechanistic findings, P62 expression in human B1 cells was significantly higher in subjects harboring a function-impairing single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at rs11574 position in the ID3 gene and directly correlated with plasma IgM OSE levels. Conclusions: This study unveils a novel role for P62 in driving BAFF-induced B1b cell proliferation and IgM OSE production to attenuate diet-induced atherosclerosis. Results identify a direct role for Id3 in antagonizing E2A from activating the p62 promoter. Moreover, analysis of putative human B1 cells also implicates these pathways in coronary artery disease subjects, suggesting P62 as a new immunomodulatory target for treating atherosclerosis.

Abstract Abstract 1281 Poster Board I-303 Many oncogenes code for transcription factors involved in regulation of developmental pathways. The activity of these pathways is tissue specific and restricted to certain developmental stages. Here, we searched for T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) oncogenes which physiologically regulate differentiation of natural killer (NK) cells. NK- and T-cells are closely related lymphocytes, sharing the same early progenitors which can differentiate into either lineage. We compared expression profiles of malignant NK- and T-cell lines to identify aberrantly expressed genes in T-ALL. This analysis revealed high expression of HOXA9, HOXA10 and ID2 in NK-cell lines and in one T-ALL line, LOUCY, suggesting leukemic deregulation therein. Subsequently, we analyzed mechanisms underlying their regulation. Overexpression and chromatin immuno-precipitation experiments demonstrated that HOXA9 and HOXA10 directly activate ID2 expression. Analysis of other ALL and acute myeloid leukemia cell lines with and without mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) gene translocations demonstrated a correlated expression of HOXA9/10 and ID2, highlighting ID2 as an indirect target of MLL fusion proteins which deregulate HOXA genes. Furthermore, profiling data of genes coding for chromatin regulators of homeobox genes, including the components EZH2 and HOP of polycomb repressor complex 2 (PRC2), showed downregulation of EZH2 in LOUCY and limited expression of HOP to NK-cell lines. Subsequent treatment of T-ALL cell lines JURKAT and LOUCY with DZNep, an inhibitor of EZH2/PRC2, resulted in elevated and unchanged HOXA9/10 expression levels, respectively, confirming repressive activity of EZH2 in T-cells. Additionally, profiling data and overexpression analysis indicated that reduced expression of E2F cofactor TFDP1 contributed to the lack of EZH2 in LOUCY. Forced expression of HOP in JURKAT cells resulted in reduced HOXA10 and ID2 expression levels, suggesting enhancement of PRC2 repression. Taken together, our results show that major differentiation factors of the NK-cell lineage, including HOXA9, HOXA10 and ID2, were (de)regulated via PRC2 and may contribute to T-cell leukemogenesis.

Full textAbstract:
CASK (calcium/calmodulin-dependent serine protein kinase) is a kind of scaffolding protein that recruits or organizes other proteins at the plasma membrane to co-ordinate signal transduction pathways within the cytoplasm and nucleus. We have previously found that hCASK (human CASK) binds Id1 (inhibitor of DNA binding 1) through hCASK's GUK (guanylate kinase) domain and inhibits cell growth, probably via interactions with Id1. Overexpression of hCASK resulted in a reduced rate of cell growth, although inhibition of CASK via RNAi (RNA interference) promoted cell proliferation in ECV304 cells. This study revealed that hCASK regulates the protein and mRNA level of p21wafi/cip1 (referred to throughout as p21), and activated the expression of p21 in a time-dependent manner. Two E-boxes in the proximal region at the TSS (transcription start site) play key roles in regulating hCASK-mediated p21 expression. We suggest that E2A (E12 and E47), a representative of the E proteins that binds the E-box elements, is a participant in the mediation of p21 expression by hCASK. The results of the present study suggest that hCASK regulation of cell growth might involve p21 expression, and that the bHLH (basic helix–loop–helix) transcription factor E2A probably participates in hCASK regulation of p21 expression. From these findings, we propose a novel proliferation signalling pathway mediated by hCASK.

Abstract Multiple myeloma (MM) is a complex and heterogenous disease which is dependent on the surrounding microenvironment for growth and survival. In MM, dysregulation of transcriptional control is a major driver of tumor transformation and progression. To evaluate transcriptional programs activated in MM cells in the context of the bone marrow milieu, we have performed extensive transcriptomic analysis by RNA-seq and ATAC-seq using bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) derived from MM patients and stromal cell line (HS5) in co-culture with various MM cell lines. We observed that both cell-cell interactions and soluble factors secreted by BMSC or HS5 cells significantly downregulated expression of Inhibitor of DNA Binding 2 (ID2), while footprint analysis of the open chromatin regions in MM cells upon interaction with BMSC revealed enrichment for binding motifs of the TCF family of transcription factors (E proteins). Inhibitors of DNA binding (ID) proteins control crucial transcriptional programs in B cell maturation via their heterodimerization with E proteins which are members of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) class I family of transcription factors, repressing their DNA binding and therefore transcriptional activity. We found that ID2 expression is significantly lower in primary CD138+ MM cells from patients compared to normal plasma cells (NPCs). Moreover, we have previously implicated the B-cell factor TCF3 as a novel MM dependency. Using MM cell lines and primary samples, we observed elevated enhancer activity at TCF3 locus in primary malignant plasma cells compared to NPCs, which resulted in significant upregulation of TCF3 expression in MM patients. We also showed that TCF3 is regulated by a large proximal enhancer that is bound by MYC and is highly sensitive to chemical perturbation of enhancer co-activators such as BRD4. Genetic perturbation of TCF3 confirmed its critical role on MM cell growth and viability especially in IgH MYC translocated MM cell lines. We here further explored the role of ID2-TCF3 axis and the hypothesis that lower expression of ID2 drives higher TCF3 activity in MM cells, which is further enhanced in presence of the bone marrow microenvironment. Genetic modulation of ID2 significantly affected MM cell viability, with MM cells ectopically expressing ID2 displaying a cell growth arrest even in the presence of the supportive BM milieu. To define the mechanism of the observed oncosuppressive role of ID2 in MM, which is in line with preliminary observations in other hematological malignancy but in contrast with the pro-tumoral role described in solid tumors, we first performed immunoprecipitation of ID2 followed by mass spectrometry in 3 MM cell lines, and identified a very consistent and specific interaction with E proteins TCF3 and TCF12. Next, to explore the transcriptional programs dependent on ID2 we performed RNA-seq of 2 MM cell lines after ID2 overexpression. In line with our in vitro data, gene ontology and gene set enrichment analysis showed a significant downregulation of genes involved in E2F pathway, cell cycle progression and regulation of gene transcription. Interestingly, among the known TCF3 targets in B cells, only XBP-1 was significantly downregulated in MM cells after ID2 overexpression, suggesting the existence of a cell-specific TCF3 dependent transcriptional program in MM. Indeed, ATAC-seq experiments revealed ID2 overexpression led to a significant decrease of TCF3 binding motifs in open chromatin regions, confirming the relevance of ID2 in regulating TCF3 transcriptional activity in MM. In conclusion, while both E and ID proteins have been implicated in malignant transformation, their role in supporting MM transcriptional deregulation and tumor growth in the context of the microenvironment is being defined. Here, we have identified ID2 as a major regulator of the TCF3 dependent transcriptional program in MM, whose downregulation is essential to maintain MM proliferation and to mediate the benefits induced by MM-stroma interaction.

Abstract The E2Fs are important mediators of cell cycle control, DNA synthesis and apoptosis in many cell types. Recently E2F4 has been shown to play a role in hematopoietic cell growth and development (Rempel et al. Mol Cell, 6 p293, 2000). Here we report the effects of loss of E2F4 specifically on B-cell development. E2F4−/− mice have a partial block in early B-cell development prior to immunoglobulin gene rearrangement. The block is intrinsic to B-cell progenitors rather than secondary to micro-environmental effects since it occurs following transplant of E2F4−/− marrow into wild type recipients. Increases in apoptosis and abnormalities in cell cycle progression were found in B220+CD43+ B-cells of E2F4−/− mice indicating that E2F4 plays an important role in these processes in early B-cells. Expression of a variety of genes important in B-cell development including E2A, RAG, IL-7, EBF and Pax-5 were decreased in early E2F4−/− B-cells. In contrast, Id1 and Id2, regulators of a variety of genes critical to B-cell development, were relatively over-expressed in early E2F4−/− B-cells while Id3 was relatively under-expressed in these cells. E2F binding sites were identified in the Id2 and Id3 promoters and E2F4 was found to directly bind to these promoters in splenic B-cells. These findings suggest that E2F4 may also regulate early B-cell development by directly and indirectly modulating expression of the genes critical to B-cell differentiation. Together, these observations indicate that E2F4 is a critical mediator of early B-cell development via its effects on multiple pathways including those involved with apoptosis, cell cycle progression and differentiation. These findings also suggest that the E2Fs may serve to link cell survival and proliferation pathways to differentiation pathways in early B-cells and perhaps other cells aswell.

Abstract In B cell neoplasia, many transcription factors known to be involved in B cell differentiation and commitment, like E2A, EBF1 and PAX5, are frequently targeted by focal deletions, mutations or chromosomal aberrations. Recent studies have shown that the human genes BTG1 and BTG2 are commonly affected by gene alterations in different B cell malignancies, but their role in normal B cell development has not been established. BTG1 and BTG2 can act as transcriptional cofactors through recruitment of the protein arginine N-methyltransferase PRMT1, which mediates arginine methylation of transcription factors, like RUNX1, and on histone 4 arginine 3 (H4R3). Here we report that Btg1 and Btg2 display unique and overlapping functions during mouse B cell development. We observed a reduction in the fraction of B220+ progenitor cells in the bone marrow compartment of the different knockout animals, ranging from a 10% decrease in the Btg2-/-, 20% in Btg1-/- , and 40% in the Btg1-/-;Btg2-/- mice relative to wild-type controls. Deficiency for Btg1, but not Btg2, resulted in reduced outgrowth of IL-7 dependent lymphoid progenitors in methylcellulose, which correlated with a higher fraction of apoptotic cells. Btg2-/- mice showed impaired differentiation at the pre-pro-B, pro-B and pre-B cell stage, while Btg1-deficiency mainly affected later stages of B cell differentiation with reduced numbers of immature B cells. Btg1-/-;Btg2-/- mice displayed additive effects with more significant reduction of B220+ cells predominantly at the pre-B and immature B cell stage. Expression analysis revealed no reduction in the mRNA levels of master regulators E2a, Foxo1, Ebf1 and Pax5 in the absence of Btg1 and Btg2. However, higher expression levels of T cell-specific genes were observed in Btg1-/-;Btg2-/- progenitor B cells, e.g. Cd4, Ikzf2 and Tcf7 (Figure 1), some of which are known to be transcriptional repressed by Ebf1, such as Id2, Gata3, Dtx3l and Notch1. Flow cytometric analyses confirmed increased expression of CD3, CD4 and CD8 markers on CD19+ bone marrow cells lacking Btg1 and Btg2 function. Additionally, we detected enhanced levels of DC, NK and myeloid markers on Btg1-/-;Btg2-/- CD19+ BM cells, indicating that Btg1 and Btg2 repress alternative cell fates during B cell lineage specification, and are required for the maintenance of B cell identity. Biochemical studies showed evidence for a physical association between Ebf1, Btg1/Btg2 and PRMT1. We propose a model in which Btg1 and Btg2 affect the function of the critical B cell transcription factor Ebf1 by recruitment of PRMT1. Figure 1.

Abstract Naive CD4+ T cells differentiate into different subsets depending upon milieu of cytokine exposure. Interleukin-9 (IL-9)-producing CD4+ helper T cells (Th9 cells) are induced from naive CD4+ T cells by transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) together with interleukin-4 (IL-4) during stimulation of the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) in vitro. The master regulator of Th9 cells as well as the molecular mechanisms by which TGF-β signals and IL-4 signals co-operatively drive the differentiation of Th9 cells are not fully understood. Previously, our group has reported that inhibitor of DNA-binding 3 (Id3), a transcription factor which inhibits DNA-binding of basic helix-loop-helix protein, such as E2A, controls the TGF-β-mediated differentiation of Th9 cells. We found that this process required activation of the kinase transforming growth factor beta-activated kinase 1 (TAK1). In addition, RNA-seq revealed that tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) was highly up-regulated by TGF-β together with IL-4 in CD4+ T cells. Since TRAF6 is one of the TAK-1 activator, we hypothesized TRAF6 is also involved in the differentiation of Th9 cells. We found that the expression and ubiquitination of TRAF6 was upregulated under the Th9 differentiation condition and it resulted in activation of TAK1. These regulations were attenuated both in TGF-β and Smad3 deficient mice, suggesting TRAF6-TAK1 signaling is involved in TGF-β-mediated Th9 differentiation.

Abstract Abstract 1373 Cyclin D1 (CCND1) expression is deregulated epigenetically in mantle cell lymphoma by the t(11;14) chromosome translocation. We have investigated the phenomenon of cyclin D1 mediated oncogene addiction in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines. Gene targeting methods were utilized to generate Cyclin D1(-) MCL and MM cell lines. These cell lines did not make any detectable cyclin D1 mRNA and protein. These cells lines had shorter doubling times in vitro than their cyclin D1(+) counterparts and were also more chemoresistant in vitro and more tumorigenic in immunodeficient mice. Cyclin D3 mRNA and protein levels were increased dramatically. Q-RTPCR analysis showed a 17 fold increase in the mRNA of cyclin D3. The half-life of cyclin D3 protein was also significantly prolonged, from 20 minutes in wild type cells to 5 hours in mutant cyclin. Knockdown of cyclin D3 dramatically inhibited cell growth and caused apoptosis in the cyclin D1(-) but not in the t(11;14) cyclin D1 positive parental cells. Compensation and crosstalk between the cyclin D1 and D3 genes in MCL and MM cells were shown both in vitro and in vivo. Thus, the addiction to cyclin D1 in MCL and MM cells can be substituted by cyclin D3. Therapies that can target both cyclins D1 and D3 posttranscriptionally such as curcumin in combination with bortezomib were investigated in vitro in MCL cells. Combination treatment of MCL and MM cell lines with these agents produce significant downregulation of the protein levels of cyclins D1 and D3, even in cyclin D1(-) cell lines containing a extremely stable cyclin D3 protein. In addition, we have shown that iron chelators such as desferoxamine can turn off cyclin D1 transcription and cause apoptosis of MCL cells in vitro. Published work from several laboratories has described cyclin dependent kinase (Cdk) independent DNA binding activity for cyclin D1. Evidence that cyclin D1 and D3 might be involved in the pathogenesis of MCL in a cdk independent manner was observed. We confirmed that cyclin D1 is a DNA binding protein and demonstrated by chromatin immuprecipitation assays that it binds to the endogenous cyclin D3 gene promoter both in a MCL cell line and in cells from leukemic MCL patients. The binding site corresponds to a published E2F binding site upstream of exon 2, which regulates two cyclin D3 transcript variants. We have also identified several potential targets of cyclin D1 regulation based on published cyclin D1 microarray experiments, several of which exhibit promoter- enrichment following cyclin D1 CHIP: GSK3b, ID3, and ANSN. Thus, cyclin D1 is a potential repressor of cyclin D3 expression by direct binding to the cyclin D3 promoter. These data demonstrate crosstalk between cyclin D1 and D3 at both the transcriptional and post transcriptional levels. Furthermore, we demonstrate for the first time that cyclin D1 binds to the cyclin D3 promoter and potentially can mediate repression of cyclin D3 mRNA transcription. Deletion of cyclin D1 in an MCL cell line results in significant upregulation cyclin D3 mRNA and protein levels and a dramatic increase in the half life of cyclin D3 in cyclin D1 null cells. Previously reported data using knockdown and antisense technologies in MCL cell lines would be unable to appreciate these observations because of residual cyclin D1 mRNA and protein levels. Agents such as bortezomib and curcumin that downregulate cyclin D1 protein levels and iron chelating agents that downregulate cyclin D1 RNA levels may be useful agents in combination treatment of MCL and MM.Figure 1:CHIP assay of cyclin D1 binding to the E2F binding site within the Cyclin D3 (CCND3) gene promoter in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract Background Recent genome wide association studies (GWAS) of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) have identified several associations at both HLA and non-HLA loci. However, much of HL heritability remains unexplained. Methods To identify novel risk loci, we performed a meta-analysis of 3 HL GWAS including a total of 1,810 cases and 7,879 controls. Results were replicated in an independent set of 1,163 cases and 2,580 controls, for a total of 3,097 and 11,097 cases and controls combined, respectively. participants in discovery and replication stages were of European descent. quality control and imputation we conducted a meta-analysis addressing 1,004,829 variants (λ= 1.10, λ1000= 1.03). Associations between SNP genotypes and HL risk were evaluated under a log-additive model of inheritance adjusting for sex, study center and significant principal components to control for population stratification. We performed an analysis with all HL cases and then conducted stratified analyses by histological subtype (classical, nodular sclerosis and mixed cellularity), age at diagnosis (nodular sclerosis among those diagnosed at 15- 35 years in all studies, and those diagnosed at 35 and older years in the European Study only) and EBV tumor status (negative and positive). We then used a bioinformatic approach (FunciSNP) to identify potential functional variants associated with HD risk correlated with risk loci of interest. We extracted publically available ENCODE data on biofeatures to identify potential functional motifs associated with the index SNP or correlated SNPs. Finally, we measured expression levels of the two alternative mRNA transcripts in lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) from 49 post-therapy HL patients and 25 unaffected controls. RT-PCR was carried out in triplicate. Relative expression levels were calculated relative to TBP as housekeeping gene. Linear models were used to assess correlation between genotype and TCF3expression levels. Results The meta-analysis identified a novel susceptibility variant at chromosome 19p13.3 (rs1860661) associated with HL risk (Odds Ratio [OR]= 0.78, P=2.0*10-8, I2=0%). variant is located in intron 2 of TCF3 (also known as E2A), a regulator of B- and T-cell lineage commitment. was also significantly associated with HL (OR= 0.85, P=0.002) in the replication series of 1,281 cases and 3,218 controls. the combined analysis consisting of the discovery and replication sets, rs1860661was strongly associated with HL (OR=0.81,=3.5*10-10), with no evidence of heterogeneity between contributing studies (Phom=0.41, I2=0%). The number of G alleles defined by rs1860661 was significantly associated with a reduced risk of each HL subtype except EBV positive HL. rs1860661 and two correlated SNPs, rs10413888 (r2=0.90) and rs8103453 (r2=0.89) identified by FunciSNP analysis map in or near marks of open chromatin and in DNAse hypersensitivity sites in TCF3 in CD20+ B cell lines., the protective minor alleles of these SNPs as defined by the G-G-G haplotype map to the binding sites for ZBTB7a (rs10413888 and rs1860661) and (rs8103453) transcription factors, likely improving the binding efficiency to the sites which may result in increased transcription rates of TCF3. TCF3 is encoded by two alternative transcripts (E12 and E47). Higher expression levels of TCF3-E47, whose transcription start site is located close to rs1860661, was associated with the rs1860661-G allele in controls (P=0.02), but not in HL patients (P=0.22). Conclusion/Discussion TCF3 is essential for the commitment of lymphoid progenitors to both B-cell and T-cell lineage development. A molecular and phenotypic hallmark of classical HL is the loss of the B-cell phenotype in HRS cells, including lack of demonstrable B-cell receptor and most B-cell specific markers such as CD19 or CD20. HRS cells have a low level of TCF3, particularly homodimers of the isoform E47, due to expression of the ABF-1 and ID2 inhibitors that bind to TCF3. Thus, higher TCF3 levels in HRS precursor cells may lead to enhanced retention of the B cell phenotype, thereby conferring a protective effect. These data suggest a link between the 19p13.3 locus including TCF3 and HL risk, indicating that TCF3 could be relevant to HL etiology and pathogenesis.

Immune responses are primarily mediated by adaptive and innate immune cells. Adaptive immune cells, such as T and B cells, evoke antigen-specific responses through the recognition of specific antigens. This antigen-specific recognition relies on the V(D)J recombination of immunoglobulin (Ig) and T cell receptor (TCR) genes mediated by recombination-activating gene (Rag)1 and Rag2 (Rag1/2). In addition, T and B cells employ cell type-specific developmental pathways during their activation processes, and the regulation of these processes is strictly regulated by the transcription factor network. Among these factors, members of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor mammalian E protein family, including E12, E47, E2-2, and HEB, orchestrate multiple adaptive immune cell development, while their antagonists, Id proteins (Id1-4), function as negative regulators. It is well established that a majority of T and B cell developmental trajectories are regulated by the transcriptional balance between E and Id proteins (the E-Id axis). E2A is critically required not only for B cell but also for T cell lineage commitment, whereas Id2 and Id3 enforce the maintenance of naïve T cells and naïve regulatory T (Treg) cells. Here, we review the current knowledge of E- and Id-protein function in T cell lineage commitment and Treg cell differentiation.
