Tumor B Cells From Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Are Resistant to CD95 (Fas/Apo-1)-Mediated Apoptosis

Joël Plumas, Marie-Christine Jacob, Laurence Chaperot, Jean-Paul Molens, Jean-Jacques Sotto, and Jean-Claude Bensa

From the Immunology Department, ETS Isère-Savoie and Research Group on Lymphoma, Unité UPRES 2021, Grenoble, France.

Apoptosis mediated by the CD95 (Fas/Apo-1) molecule plays a crucial role in the regulation of the B-cell immune response. In this study, we examined the function of the CD95 antigen in B-cell-derived non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), a malignant disease of mature B cells. Membrane CD95 molecules were found to be constitutively expressed in a large number of NHL, including mantle cell (MCL, n = 10), lymphocytic (LCL, n = 10), follicular (FL, n = 11), and diffuse large cell lymphoma (DLCL, n = 9) with, however, different levels of intensity. Indeed, the levels of CD95 were low in MCL and LCL as compared with FL and DLCL. However, regardless of the intensity of expression, CD95 triggering with anti-CD95 monoclonal antibody (MoAb) did not induce apoptosis of lymphoma B cells, while these cells underwent apoptosis after irradiation or staurosporine treatment. Further experiments were then performed to address whether apoptosis could be restored by B-cell activation via CD40 cross-linking. We showed that CD40 engagement in the presence of interleukin (IL)-4 was more effective than CD40 engagement alone in upregulating the CD95 antigen and induced CD95-mediated cell death in nontumoral B cells. Concerning malignant B cells, CD40 ligation in the presence of IL-4 strongly increased CD95 expression, but did not markedly increase CD95-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, using cytotoxic T cells, we showed that CD95L was also ineffective in inducing apoptosis in lymphoma B cells, whereas these cells were killed by the perforin pathway. Our findings suggest that the CD95-mediated cell death pathway is altered in malignant cells from the NHL we tested. This could be a mechanism allowing lymphoma B cells to escape from immune regulation.
