Activating mutations of STAT5B and STAT3 in lymphomas derived from γδ-T or NK cells.

چکیده
Lymphomas arising from NK or γδ-T cells are very aggressive diseases and little is known regarding their pathogenesis. Here we report frequent activating mutations of STAT3 and STAT5B in NK/T-cell lymphomas (n=51), γδ-T-cell lymphomas (n=43) and their cell lines (n=9) through next generation and/or Sanger sequencing. STAT5B N642H is particularly frequent in all forms of γδ-T-cell lymphomas. STAT3 and STAT5B mutations are associated with increased phosphorylated protein and a growth advantage to transduced cell lines or normal NK cells. Growth-promoting activity of the mutants can be partially inhibited by a JAK1/2 inhibitor. Molecular modelling and surface plasmon resonance measurements of the N642H mutant indicate a marked increase in binding affinity of the phosphotyrosine-Y699 with the mutant histidine. This is associated with the prolonged persistence of the mutant phosphoSTAT5B and marked increase of binding to target sites. Our findings suggest that JAK-STAT pathway inhibition may represent a therapeutic strategy.

STAT5b in LGL leukemia – a novel therapeutic target?
The activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) family genes, especially STAT5 and STAT3, has been established in multiple solid tumors and hematological malignancies. Recently we discovered somatic activating STAT3 mutations in 40% of T-cell large granular lymphocytic (LGL) leukemia and 30% of NK-cell LGL leukemia patients (Koskela, Eldfors et al. NEJM, 2012, 17;366(2...

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is considered a negative regulator of inflammation, as inhibition of STAT3 signaling enhances antitumor immunity. However, STAT3 activation is a key oncogenic pathway in natural killer (NK)-lineage large granular lymphomas, and we recently reported enhanced proliferation and function of human NK cells activated with IL-21, which signals...
متن کاملActivating natural killer (NK) cytotoxicity of canine CD5−CD21− cells requires low surface CD5 density NK cells
Natural killer (NK) cells play a crucial role in regulating immune functions. Few studies have characterized canine NK cells. We previously demonstrated that canine peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) with a low surface CD5 density (CD5lo) are considered a critical NK population. Natural killer cells in most mammals do not express T-cell markers, but canine CD5lo cells express surface molecules...

Large granular lymphocyte leukemia (LGLL) is a rare clonal disease characterized by an excess of CD8+ cytotoxic T cells or natural killer (NK) cells and associated with severe cytopenias, recurrent infections, and autoimmune diseases. Known LGLL hallmarks are JAK/STAT pathway activation, deregulation of proapoptotic pathways (sphingolipid and FAS/FAS ligand), and activation of pro-survival sign...
