“…Recently, CMs have been shown to induce efficient cell death in PEL cell lines 6,7 and LEN is currently part of a clinical trial in PEL (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02911142). As in multiple myeloma 28 , the transcription factor IRF4 is a highly essential survival gene in PEL cells and its expression is reduced upon treatment with CMs 6,7,29 . Surprisingly, however, in this setting, downregulation of IRF4 and CM toxicity were independent of IKZF1 and/or IKZF3 7 .…”

Genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screens represent a powerful approach to study mechanisms of drug action and resistance. Cereblon modulating agents (CMs) have recently emerged as candidates for therapeutic intervention in primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), a highly aggressive cancer caused by Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus. CMs bind to cereblon (CRBN), the substrate receptor of the cullin-RING type E3 ubiquitin ligase CRL4 CRBN , and thereby trigger the acquisition and proteasomal degradation of neosubstrates. Downstream mechanisms of CM toxicity are incompletely understood, however. To identify novel CM effectors and mechanisms of CM resistance, we performed positive selection CRISPR screens using three CMs with increasing toxicity in PEL: lenalidomide (LEN), pomalidomide (POM), and CC-122.Results identified several novel modulators of the activity of CRL4 CRBN . The number of genes whose inactivation confers resistance decreases with increasing CM efficacy.Only inactivation of CRBN conferred complete resistance to CC-122. Inactivation of the E2 ubiquitin conjugating enzyme UBE2G1 also conferred robust resistance against LEN and POM. Inactivation of additional genes, including the Nedd8-specific protease SENP8, conferred resistance to only LEN. SENP8 inactivation indirectly increased levels of unneddylated CUL4A/B, which limits CRL4 CRBN activity in a dominant negative manner. Accordingly, sensitivity of SENP8-inactivated cells to LEN is restored by overexpression of CRBN. In sum, our screens identify several novel players in CRL4 CRBN function and define pathways to CM resistance in PEL. These results provide rationale for increasing CM efficacy upon patient relapse from a less efficient CM.Identified genes could finally be developed as biomarkers to predict CM efficacy in PEL and other cancers. Key Points1. Genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screens identify novel mediators of resistance to lenalidomide, pomalidomide and CC-122 in PEL cells.2. UBE2G1 and SENP8 are modulators of CRL4 CRBN and their inactivation drives resistance to CMs in PEL-derived cell lines.

Acanthoic acid (AA) is an active substance that is extracted from Croton oblongifolius Roxb., a traditional plant in Thailand. The antiinflammatory effect of AA on NF-κB pathway has been exclusively reported, however, its anticancer effect is still lacking. PEL is a B cell lymphoma that is mostly found in HIV patients. The prognosis and progression of PEL patients are terribly poor with a median survival time less than 6 months, so the new effective treatment is urgently needed. In this study, we found that AA effectively inhibited PEL cell proliferation with IC50s at 120-130 μM in well-representative cells, while the IC50s of AA in PBMC were higher (>200 μM). AA increased percentages of Annexin V/PI positive cells, whereas adding of caspase inhibitor (Q-VD-OPh) prevented AA-induced cell death. The antiapoptotic protein, c-FLIP, was downregulated by AA which leading to the activation of caspase-8 and -3. Combination of AA and TRAIL dramatically enhanced apoptotic cell death. In PEL xenograft model, AA at the dose of 250 mg/kg effectively
