摘要

Cellular senescence is a stress-inducible state switch relevant in aging, tumorigenesis and cancer therapy. Beyond a lasting arrest, senescent cells are characterized by profound chromatin remodeling and transcriptional reprogramming. We show here myeloid-skewed aberrant lineage plasticity and its immunological ramifications in therapy-induced senescence (TIS) of primary human and murine B-cell lymphoma. We find myeloid transcription factor (TF) networks, specifically AP-1-, C/EBPβ- and PU.1-governed transcriptional programs, enriched in TIS but not in equally chemotherapy-exposed senescence-incapable cancer cells. Dependent on these master TF, TIS lymphoma cells adopt a lineage-promiscuous state with properties of monocytic-dendritic cell (DC) differentiation. TIS lymphoma cells are preferentially lysed by T-cells in vitro, and mice harboring DC-skewed Eμ-myc lymphoma experience significantly longer tumor-free survival. Consistently, superior long-term outcome is also achieved in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients with high expression of a TIS-related DC signature. In essence, these data demonstrate a therapeutically exploitable, prognostically favorable immunogenic role of senescence-dependent aberrant myeloid plasticity in B-cell lymphoma.
