    Abstract Diffuse large B cell lymphoma of activated B cell type (ABC-DLBCL), a major cell-of-origin DLBCL subtype, is characterized by chronic active B cell receptor (BCR) signaling and NF-κB activation, which can be explained by activating mutations of the BCR signaling cascade in a minority of cases. We demonstrate that autonomous BCR signaling, akin to its essential pathogenetic role in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), can explain chronic active BCR signaling in ABC-DLBCL. 13 of 18 tested DLBCL-derived BCR, including 12 cases selected for expression of IgM, induced spontaneous calcium flux and increased phosphorylation of the BCR signaling cascade in murine triple knockout pre-B cells without antigenic stimulation or external BCR crosslinking. Autonomous BCR signaling was associated with IgM isotype, dependent on somatic BCR mutations and individual HCDR3 sequences, and largely restricted to non-GCB DLBCL. Autonomous BCR signaling represents a novel immunological oncogenic driver mechanism in DLBCL originating from individual BCR sequences and adds a new dimension to currently proposed genetics- and transcriptomics-based DLBCL classifications.

    Abstract Clonal expansion of CD5-expressing B cells, commonly designated as monoclonal B lymphocytosis (MBL), is a precursor condition for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The mechanisms driving subclinical MBL B-cell expansion and progression to CLL, occurring in approximately 1% of affected individuals, are unknown. An autonomously signaling B-cell receptor (BCR) is essential for the pathogenesis of CLL. The objectives of this study were functional characterization of the BCR of MBL in siblings of CLL patients and a comparison of genetic variants in MBL-CLL sibling pairs. Screening of peripheral blood by flow cytometry detected 0.2-480 clonal CLL-phenotype cells per microliter (median: 37/μL) in 34 of 191 (17.8%) siblings of CLL patients. Clonal BCR isolated from highly purified CLL-phenotype cells induced robust calcium mobilization in BCR-deficient murine pre-B cells in the absence of external antigen and without experimental crosslinking. This autonomous BCR signal was less intense than the signal originating from the CLL BCR of their CLL siblings. According to genotyping by single nucleotide polymorphism array, whole exome, and targeted panel sequencing, CLL risk alleles were found with high and similar prevalence in CLL patients and MBL siblings, respectively. Likewise, the prevalence of recurrent CLL-associated genetic variants was similar between CLL and matched MBL samples. However, copy number variations and small variants were frequently subclonal in MBL cells, suggesting their acquisition during subclinical clonal expansion. These findings support a stepwise model of CLL pathogenesis, in which autonomous BCR signaling leads to a non-malignant (oligo)clonal expansion of CD5+ B cells, followed by malignant progression to CLL after acquisition of pathogenic genetic variants.

    Abstract Upon antigen recognition, activation-induced cytosine deaminase initiates affinity maturation of the B-cell receptor by somatic hypermutation (SHM) through error-prone DNA repair pathways. SHM typically creates single nucleotide substitutions, but tandem substitutions may also occur. We investigated incidence and sequence context of tandem substitutions by massive parallel sequencing of V(D)J repertoires in healthy human donors. Mutation patterns were congruent with SHM-derived single nucleotide mutations, delineating initiation of the tandem substitution by AID. Tandem substitutions comprised 5,7% of AID-induced mutations. The majority of tandem substitutions represents single nucleotide juxtalocations of directly adjacent sequences. These observations were confirmed in an independent cohort of healthy donors. We propose a model where tandem substitutions are predominantly generated by translesion synthesis across an apyramidinic site that is typically created by UNG. During replication, apyrimidinic sites transiently adapt an extruded configuration, causing skipping of the extruded base. Consequent strand decontraction leads to the juxtalocation, after which exonucleases repair the apyramidinic site and any directly adjacent mismatched base pairs. The mismatch repair pathway appears to account for the remainder of tandem substitutions. Tandem substitutions may enhance affinity maturation and expedite the adaptive immune response by overcoming amino acid codon degeneracies or mutating two adjacent amino acid residues simultaneously.

    Abstract Activation-induced deaminase (AID) is required for somatic hypermutation in immunoglobulin genes, but also induces off-target mutations. Follicular lymphoma (FL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), the most frequent types of indolent B-cell tumors, are exposed to AID activity during lymphomagenesis. We designed a workflow integrating de novo mutational signatures extraction and fitting of COSMIC (Catalogue Of Somatic Mutations In Cancer) signatures, with tridimensional chromatin conformation data (Hi-C). We applied the workflow to exome sequencing data from lymphoma samples. In 33 FL and 30 CLL samples, 42% and 34% of the contextual mutations could be traced to a known AID motif. We demonstrate that both CLL and FL share mutational processes dominated by spontaneous deamination, failures in DNA repair, and AID activity. The processes had equiproportional distribution across active and nonactive chromatin compartments in CLL. In contrast, canonical AID activity and failures in DNA repair pathways in FL were significantly higher within the active chromatin compartment. Analysis of DNA repair genes revealed a higher prevalence of base excision repair gene mutations (
