Popis: The synchronous activation of BCR and CD40 signaling via B-T cell interactions is required for proliferation of normal (Luo et al, 2018) and some malignant B cells, especially in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and follicular lymphoma (FL). In CLL/FL cells, proliferation occurs mainly in lymph nodes, but not in bone marrow or peripheral blood which lack access to proper B-T cell interactions. Here we have analyzed the mRNA and miRNAs profile in the proliferative intraclonal CLL cell subpopulation that has recently exited lymph node niches (CXCR4dimCD5bright cells; Calissano et al,2011; Pavlasova et al,2016) to reveal molecules potentially participating in synchronous regulation of CD40 and BCR pathway. This has identified 36 miRNAs and 1370 mRNAs differentially expressed in CLL cells exiting lymph nodes as compared to resting non-proliferative CLL cells (CXCR4brightCD5dim cells). Next, we overlapped the 36 miRNAs with their predicted target mRNAs with putative function in CD40/BCR (TargetScan, KEGG) which were anti-correlated to at least one miRNA (miRNAs typically decrease mRNA stability). This revealed among others anti-correlation of lower miR-29 with higher TRAF4 levels in immune niches, which was validated in paired lymph node biopsies vs peripheral blood CLL cells (P Altogether, we have described a novel MYC-miR-29-TRAF4 axis that regulates CD40 signaling in B cells, and acts to synchronize BCR activation with CD40 pathway.
