Dysregulation of the apoptotic pathway is widely recognized as a key step in
lymphomagenesis. Notably, LITAF was initially identified as a p53-inducible gene,
subsequently implicated as a tumor suppressor. Our previous study also showed
LITAF to be methylated in 89.5% B-NHL samples. Conversely, deregulated expression
of BCL6 is a pathogenic event in many lymphomas. Interestingly, our study found
an oppositional expression of LITAF and BCL6 in B-NHL. In addition, LITAF was
recently identified as a novel target gene of BCL6. Therefore, we sought to
explore the feedback loop between LITAF and BCL6 in B-NHL. Here, our data for the
first time show that LITAF can repress expression of BCL6 by binding to Region A
(-87 to +65) containing a putative LITAF-binding motif (CTCCC) within the BCL6
promoter. Furthermore, the regulation of BCL6 targets ( PRDM1 or c-Myc) by LITAF
may be associated with B-cell differentiation. Results also demonstrate that
ectopic expression of LITAF induces cell apoptosis, activated by releasing
cytochrome c, cleaving PARP and caspase 3 in B-NHL cells whereas knockdown of
LITAF robustly protected cells from apoptosis. Interestingly, BCL6, in turn,
could reverse cell apoptosis mediated by LITAF. Collectively, our findings
provide a novel apoptotic regulatory pathway in which LITAF, as a transcription
factor, inhibits the expression of BCL6, which leads to activation of the
intrinsic mitochondrial pathway and tumor apoptosis. Our study is expected to
provide a possible biomarker as well as a target for clinical therapies to
promote tumor cell apoptosis.
