Extended Data Fig. 4. B cell compartment in mice lacking p53, Rfx7, and Myc.

Extended Data Fig. 4

a) The number and ratio of BL or DLBCL patients10,11,16,52–54 with and without TP53 alterations are shown according to RFX7 mutation status (related to Supplementary Table 3). Fisher’s exact test (two-sided); odds ratio (OR, 95% CI). b) The B cell compartment of 6–16 weeks old Cd19p53wt/wtRfx7wt/wt, Cd19p53fl/fl, Cd19p53fl/flRfx7fl/fl, and Cd19p53fl/flRfx7fl/flMycfl/fl mice was analyzed at steady state. Graphs illustrate spleen cellularity, B cell (CD19+B220+), follicular B cell (CD21−CD23+), and marginal zone B cell (CD21+CD23−) percentages. Results represent mean±s.e.m. of n = 8 Cd19p53wt/wtRfx7wt/wt, n = 7 Cd19p53fl/fl, n = 8 Cd19p53fl/flRfx7fl/fl, and n = 5 Cd19p53fl/flRfx7fl/flMycfl/fl mice and are a pool of two independent experiments. Statistical comparisons were performed using one-way ANOVA corrected for multiple testing using the Dunnett method; only significant results between Cd19p53fl/flRfx7fl/fl mice and the other groups are shown. c) Survival curves of n = 11 Cd19p53fl/fl, n = 8 Cd19p53fl/flRfx7fl/fl, n = 8 Cd19p53fl/flRfx7fl/flMycfl/wt, n = 9 Cd19p53fl/flRfx7fl/flMycfl/fl, and n = 7 Cd19p53fl/flRfx7fl/flAicda−/− mice. Mice were sacrificed at the onset of symptoms or at the end of the experiment at 300 days. Statistical comparisons between the experimental groups were performed using Mantel Cox test; only significant comparisons are shown. d) Immunoblot analysis showing the expression of Rfx7 and p53 in lysates of untreated or CpG-stimulated (18 h) B cells enriched from spleens of Cd19p53wt/wtRfx7wt/wt, Cd19Rfx7fl/fl, Cd19p53fl/fl, and Cd19p53fl/flRfx7fl/fl mice. β-actin was used as loading control and data are representative of two independent experiments. e) Heatmap of a selection of genes (Tob1, Tsc22d1, Mxd4, Ddit4, Trp53, Psrc1, and Serpine2) from RNA-seq analysis presented in Fig. 2d is shown. f) Sorted splenic FO B cells (CD19+, B220+ and CD23+) of 6 to 14-week-old mice of indicated genotypes were stimulated with CpG (18 h). Graphs show mRNA levels of Mxd4, Tob1, Tsc22d1, Ddit4, Serpine2, and Psrc1 assessed by RT-qPCR (values normalized to Hprt and 18 s; results are pool of two experiments, one control from each experiment was set to 1). Results represent mean ± s.e.m. of n = 4 Cd19Rfx7wt/wt, n = 5 Cd19Rfx7fl/fl, n = 6 Cd19p53fl/fl, and n = 6 Cd19p53fl/flRfx7fl/fl mice. Statistical comparisons were performed using two-way ANOVA corrected for multiple testing using Tukey method; only significant comparisons are shown. g) Graphs show percentage of blasting B cells of indicated genotypes, 18 h post-stimulation with CpG, and the representative flow cytometry plots thereof (results represent mean±s.e.m. of n = 3 mice/group). Statistical comparisons were performed using two-way ANOVA corrected for multiple testing using Tukey method; only significant comparisons are shown. h) The B cell compartment of 6–14 weeks old Cd19p53wt/wtRfx7wt/wt and Cd19p53fl/flRfx7fl/flAicda−/− mice was analyzed at steady state. Graphs illustrate spleen cellularity, B cell (CD19+B220+), follicular B cell (CD21−CD23+), and marginal zone B cell (CD21+CD23−) percentages. Results represent mean±s.e.m. of n = 4 Cd19p53wt/wtRfx7wt/wt and n = 3 Cd19p53fl/flRfx7fl/flAicda−/− mice. Statistical comparisons were performed using unpaired student’s t-test, two-tailed.
