NEOPLASIA Characterization of 8p21.3 chromosomal deletions in B-cell lymphoma: TRAIL-R1 and TRAIL-R2 as candidate dosage-dependent tumor suppressor genesFrom the Center for Applied Medical Research (CIMA), Division of Oncology, University of Navarra, Pamplona, Spain; the Department of Hematology and Medical Oncology, Hospital Clínico, University of Valencia, and the Instituto Investigaciones Citológicas, Valencia, Spain; the Institute of Human Genetics, University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein, Kiel, Germany; the MRC Toxicology Unit, University of Leicester, United Kingdom; the Molecular Genetics Unit, Hospital Universitario Universidad Marqués de Valdecilla, Santander, Spain; the Department of Pathology, University of Würzburg, Germany; the Institute for Molecular Biotechnology, Jena, Germany; the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Oncológicas (CNIO), Madrid, Spain; the British Columbia Cancer Agency, Vancouver, BC, Canada; the National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD; and the Cancer Research Institute, University of California San Francisco, CA.
Deletions of chromosome 8p are a recurrent event in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL), suggesting the presence of a tumor suppressor gene. We have characterized these deletions using comparative genomic hybridization to microarrays, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) mapping, DNA sequencing, and functional studies. A minimal deleted region (MDR) of 600 kb was defined in chromosome 8p21.3, with one mantle cell lymphoma cell line (Z138) exhibiting monoallelic deletion of 650 kb. The MDR extended from bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones RP11-382J24 and RP11-109B10 and included the tumor necrosis factorrelated apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) receptor gene loci. Sequence analysis of the individual expressed genes within the MDR and DNA sequencing of the entire MDR in Z138 did not reveal any mutation. Gene expression analysis and quantitative reverse transcriptasepolymerase chain reaction (QRT-PCR) showed down-regulation of TRAIL-R1 and TRAIL-R2 receptor genes as a consistent event in B-NHL with 8p21.3 loss. Epigenetic inactivation was excluded via promoter methylation analysis. In vitro studies showed that TRAIL-induced apoptosis was dependent on TRAIL-R1 and/or -R2 dosage in most tumors. Resistance to apoptosis of cell lines with 8p21.3 deletion was reversed by restoration of TRAIL-R1 or TRAIL-R2 expression by gene transfection. Our data suggest that TRAIL-R1 and TRAIL-R2 act as dosage-dependent tumor suppressor genes whose monoallelic deletion can impair TRAIL-induced apoptosis in B-cell lymphoma.
