Linfoma di Burkitt (Burkitt) Aims ….Attitudes are more important than abilities Motives are more important than methods Character is more important than cleverness And heart takes precedence over the head….. Denis P. Burkitt, 1991 LINFOMA DI BURKITT (LBT) endemico: zone centrali dell’Africa (malaria) età pediatrica; sedi: mandibola, ovaio sporadico: paesi occidentali età variabile; sedi: intestino, gonadi, SNC HIV-correlato: SNC, etc. Buona risposta in età pediatrica con terapie aggressive FORMA ENDEMICA (Lancet Oncology 2004; 5:738-46) Patogenesi del linfoma di Burkitt endemico legata alla cooperazione di: - EBV (immortalizzazione), - malaria (spinta proliferativa), - Arbovirus trasmessi da mosche (stimolo immunitario), - Euphorbia tirucalli (danno al DNA), - traslocazione coinvolgente c-MYC.

Patient and material collection • 95 cases from Ugandan tribes • Most cases occurred in patients aged 9-10 • Site of involvement: - lymph node (34 cases) - abdomen (26 cases) - gonads (25 cases) - jaw (10 cases) HIV-status • None of the samples showed HIV integration • HIV-1 DNA was investigated by: RT-PCR amplifying gag region (142 bp) nested PCR amplifying env region (248 bp) Driver GA et al.

Gene expression profiling of Burkitt Lymphomas SPORADIC! Davè S et al, NEJM 2006 Hummel M et al, NEJM 2006 Piccaluga PP, De Falco G, Kustagi K, Gazzola A, Astolfi A, Agostinelli C, Leucci E, Onnis A, Tripodio C, Sapienza MR, Bellan C, Lazzi S, Tumwine L, Mawanda M, Ogwang M, Calbi V, Formica S, Califano A, Pileri SA and Leoncini L: Gene expression analysis uncovers similarity and differences among Burkitt lymphoma subtypes. Blood 2011, 117:3596-3608. Molecular profiling of BL subtypes BL is a unique molecular entity Burkitt lymphoma Follicular lymphoma Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma Primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma Chronic lymphocytic leukemia Normal B-cells Though similar, BL subtypes present differences in their GEPs eBL sBL HIV-BL eBL eBL HIV-BL HIV -BL sBL sBL Though similar, BL subtypes present differences in their GEPs eBL HIV-BL eBL and HIV-BL: 16 genes (almost identical), eBL sBL eBL & sBL: 254 genes, including cell cycle regulation. GSEA showed that eBL and sBL differ for the expression of genes related to the RBL2 network eBL sBL Accordingly, RBL2 malfunction is relevant for eBL but doesn’t affect sBL. RBL2 functional network identified by ARACNe The results do not vary by subtracting the MYC network BL molecular profile depends also on EBV status A A molecular signature discriminated BLs according to the presence of EBV in both a training (A) and a test (C) set of cases (chi-sq., p<0.0001). C Such genes were significantly related to apoptosis regulation sBL & HIV+ regulation of transcription from Pol II promoter B sBL & HIV+ D induction of apoptosis by extracellular signals regulation of programmed cell death positive regulation of programmed cell death induction of apoptosis positive regualtion of apoptosis induction of programmed cell death development male gamete generation Apoptosis! spermatogenesis gametogenesis 20 viral miRNAs MYC-translocation negative Burkitt lymphoma differs from classical cases A B B A Unsupervised N=974 genes Supervised MYC-negative C 1 0.5 BL MYC-neg BL MYC-pos 0 Grey zone -0.5 -1 MYC-positive N=11,885 genes Recurrently mutated genes were found in Burkitt lymphoma by NGS In 70% of sBL cases, mutations affecting the transcription factor TCF3 (E2A) or its negative regulator ID3 fostered TCF3 dependency. TCF3 activated the pro-survival PI(3) kinase pathway in BL, in part by augmenting constitutive B cell receptor signaling.
