Front Oncol 2021; 11:620435. [PMID: 33777766 PMCID: PMC7988195 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.620435] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2020] [Accepted: 02/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The pathogenesis of follicular lymphoma is a multi-step process, in which chromosomal translocation between immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) and anti-apoptotic B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2), namely IgH-BCL2, is an earliest step, followed by other genetic/genomic alterations including but not limited to mutation of CREB binding protein (CREBBP). MHC class II transactivator (CIITA) is a transcription regulator responsible for expression of MHC class II molecules including HLA-DR in human. We report herein a novel fusion gene involving CIITA and CREBBP in a patient with a low-grade follicular lymphoma (FL) but with high Ki-67 proliferation index. In addition, our patient also harbors CREBBP mutation. Together, we postulate that total loss of CREBBP function may contribute, in part, to the lymphoma genesis. Furthermore, this patient has addition rare (TBL1XR1-TP63) and common (IgH-BCL2) chromosomal translocations and multiple mutations including BCL2, BRAF, MUTYH, and STAT6.

Diverse human V H antibody fragments with bio-therapeutic properties from the Crescendo Mouse. N Biotechnol 2019; 55:65-76. [PMID: 31600579 DOI: 10.1016/j.nbt.2019.10.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2019] [Revised: 09/04/2019] [Accepted: 10/04/2019] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
We describe the 'Crescendo Mouse', a human VH transgenic platform combining an engineered heavy chain locus with diverse human heavy chain V, D and J genes, a modified mouse Cγ1 gene and complete 3' regulatory region, in a triple knock-out (TKO) mouse background devoid of endogenous immunoglobulin expression. The addition of the engineered heavy chain locus to the TKO mouse restored B cell development, giving rise to functional B cells that responded to immunization with a diverse response that comprised entirely 'heavy chain only' antibodies. Heavy chain variable (VH) domain libraries were rapidly mined using phage display technology, yielding diverse high-affinity human VH that had undergone somatic hypermutation, lacked aggregation and showed enhanced expression in E. coli. The Crescendo Mouse produces human VH fragments, or Humabody® VH, with excellent bio-therapeutic potential, as exemplified here by the generation of antagonistic Humabody® VH specific for human IL17A and IL17RA.
