Abstract:
Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common formof non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. In the least curable (ABC) subtypeof DLBCL, survival of the malignant cells is dependent on constitutiveactivation of the nuclear factor–B (NF-B) signaling pathway.In normal B cells, antigen receptor–induced NF-B activationrequires CARD11, a cytoplasmic scaffolding protein. To determinewhether CARD11 contributes to tumorigenesis, we sequenced theCARD11 gene in human DLBCL tumors. We detected missense mutationsin 7 of 73 ABC DLBCL biopsies (9.6%), all within exons encodingthe coiled-coil domain. Experimental introduction of CARD11coiled-coil domain mutants into lymphoma cell lines resultedin constitutive NF-B activation and enhanced NF-B activity uponantigen receptor stimulation. These results demonstrate thatCARD11 is a bona fide oncogenein DLBCL, providing a geneticrationale for the development of pharmacological inhibitorsof the CARD11 pathway for DLBCL therapy.
