Abstract

AbstractAnaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is an aggressive, CD30+ T-cell lymphoma of children and adults. ALK fusion transcripts or mutations in the JAK-STAT pathway are observed in most ALCL tumors, but the mechanisms underlying tumorigenesis are not fully understood. Here we show that dysregulated STAT3, together with a core transcriptional regulatory circuit consisting of BATF3–IRF4– IKZF1, co-occupies gene enhancers to establish an oncogenic transcription program and maintain the malignant state of ALCL. Critical downstream targets of this network in ALCL cells include the proto-oncogene MYC, which requires active STAT3 to facilitate high levels of MYC transcription. The activity of this auto-regulatory transcription loop is reinforced by MYC binding to the enhancer regions associated with STAT3 and each of the core regulatory transcription factors. These findings provide new insights for understanding how dysregulated signaling pathways hijack cell-type-specific transcriptional machinery to drive tumorigenesis and create therapeutic vulnerabilities in genetically defined tumors.
