Abstract LB-017: HSP110 sustains aberrant NFkB signaling in activated B-cell diffuse large B-cell lymphoma through MyD88 stabilization
Abstract Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive lymphoproliferative disorder of B lymphocytes accounting for 30 % of adult Non Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL). Among DLBCL, Activated B Cell - DLBCL (ABC-DLBCL) is the most aggressive form and has a poor prognosis. Heat-shock proteins (HSPs) are molecular chaperons highly expressed in cancer cells and implicated in resistance to radio- and chemotherapy. Therefore, HSPs are envisioned as therapeutic targets in many cancers. Among the different HSPs, HSP110 has been recently identified as a pro-survival factor in germinal center-derived DLBCL (GC-DLBCL), through stabilization of the GC-DLBCL oncogene Bcl-6. Here, we have explored if HSP1…
HSP110 promotes colorectal cancer growth through STAT3 activation.
IF 7.932; International audience; Heat shock protein 110 (HSP110) is induced by different stresses and, through its anti-apoptotic and chaperoning properties, helps cells survive these adverse situations. In colon cancers, HSP110 is abnormally abundant. We have recently shown that colorectal cancer patients with microsatellite instability (MSI) had an improved response to chemotherapy because they harbor an HSP110-inactivating mutation (HSP110DE9). In this work, we used patient biopsies, human colorectal cancer cells grown in vitro and in vivo (xenografts), and intestinal crypts to demonstrate that HSP110 is also involved in colon cancer growth. We showed that HSP110 induces colon cancer ce…
HSP110 sustains chronic NF-κB signaling in activated B cell diffuse large B cell lymphoma through MyD88 stabilization
International audience; Activated B cell diffuse large B cell lymphoma (ABC-DLBCL) is an aggressive lymphoproliferative disorder involving chronic NF-κB activation. Several mutations in the BCR and the MyD88 signaling pathway components, such as MyD88 L265P, are implicated in this aberrant activation. Among heat-shock proteins, HSP110 has recently been identified as a pro- survival and/or proliferation factor in many cancers but its role in ABC-DLBCL survival mechanisms remained to be established. We observed that shRNA-mediated HSP110 silencing decreased the survival of several ABC-DLBCL cell lines, decreased IgM-MyD88 co-localization and subsequent NF-κB signaling. Conversely, over-expres…
