The positive regulatory domain I (PRDM1) is a master regulator of terminal B-cell differentiation. However, PRDM1 is not B-cell specific. To determine its role in T-cell lymphoma, PRDM1 expression was investigated in 60 patients. PRDM1 and PRDM1β transcripts were detected in laser-microdissected T-lymphoma cells in 27 and 14 patients, respectively, mostly in cases with IRF4 expression. PRDM1β was associated with increased c-MYC expression. PRDM1β-positive patients displayed advanced Ann Arbor stage and high-risk International Prognostic Index and were linked to short survival times. In vitro, PRDM1β was related to resistance to chemotherapeutic agents and could be down-regulated by the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib. Kinetic studies showed that bortezomib down-regulation of PRDM1β preceded decreased IRF4 and c-MYC expression. An earlier retaining of cytoplasmic I B in bortezomib-treated cells was revealed, concomitant with blockade of NF- B nuclear translocation. These results demonstrate the involvement of PRDM1β in T-cell lymphoma, with possible therapeutic interference by the proteasome inhibitor.
