CREBBP loss-of-function causes focal depletion of enhancer H3K27 acetylation in germinal center B cells. CREBBP-regulated enhancers are counter-regulated by the BCL6/SMRT/HDAC3 repressor complex; loss of CREBBP enables unopposed deacetylation by this complex at enhancers of B-cell signaling and MHC class II genes. HDAC3 loss-of-function rescues these enhancers and suppresses CREBBP-mutant lymphomas. |

Loss of Crebbp in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells leads to accumulation of hyperproliferative lymphoid progenitors with a defective DNA damage response due to failure to acetylate p53; this identifies a premalignant lymphoma stem cell population with decreased H3K27ac that undergoes transcriptional and genetic evolution leading to lymphomagenesis. Loss of Crebbp later in lymphopoiesis attenuates these effects. |
