BURKITT’S LYMPHOMA • A non-Hodgkin Lymphoma • Three forms: • An endemic form in Afrtica is 100% associated with EBV • A sporadic form in Europe and North America, rare and non-associated with EBV • A form associated with HIV is frequent in Europe and is found in up to 2% (!) of AIDS patients • In ~90% of the cases BL is linked to the translocation t(8;14)(q24;q32) of the CMYC gene locusnext to the IGH genelocus leading to activation of the CMYC gene.
HIGH OCCURRENCE OF BURKITT’S LYMHOMA IN HIV PATIENTS: WHY? • gp-120 can interact with CD21 expressed on B cells (Moir et al 2000) • HIV-1 causes B-cell hyperactipvation (Schnittan et al,1984) • Elevated class switch in B lymphocytes • Induces B cell to proliferate (Nair MPN and al 1988) • Causes B cell abnormal response • The production of autoantibodies • Aberrant B-cell surface markers: Change in B cell receptors. Threeevents are necessary to produce a translocation: • DNA double strand breaks (Vilenchik et Knudson, 2003). • Double strand breaks repair viaNHEJ(Abeysinghe et al., 2003). • Spatial proximity (colocalization) of the two translocation partners.

CHROMOSOMAL TERRITORIES Theodor Boveri (1862-1915) Carl Rabl (1853-1917) Bolzer et al., PlosBiology (2005), 3 (5) e207 • The chromosomes are organized in the nucleus: • In a tissue specific manner • The organization is transmitted though the cell divisions • This organization is evolutionarily conserved • The gene-rich regions occupy more central position in the nucleus Bolzer et al., Plos Biology (2005), 3 (5) e207

HIV GENOME • 9 genes encoding 3 structural, 2 envelope, and 6 regulatory proteins in addition to 3 enzymes • TAT – transactivator of transcription encoded by 2 different exons. The 102 aa Tat is responsible for activation of viral Tat is secreted into the circulation and is capable to penetrate into cells. Produced in excess in infected cells. Tat is present in blood of AIDS patients.
HIV Tat PROVOKES A SPECIFIC COLOCALIZATION OF THE IGH AND CMYC LOCI IN THE NUCLEAR SPACE OF B CELLS Tat induces a dose-dependent CMYC/IGH colocalization Tat does not induce CMYC/IGH colocalization in macrophages and T cells Tat does not induce IGH/b -globin or IGH/CCND1 colocalization in B lymphocytes
