Abstract
Polatuzumab Vedotin (Pola-V) is an antibody-drug conjugate directed to the CD79B subunit of the B cell receptor (BCR). When combined with conventional immunochemotherapy, Pola-V improves outcomes in DLBCL. To identify determinants of Pola-V sensitivity, we used CRISPR-Cas9 screening for genes that modulated Pola-V toxicity for lymphomas or the surface expression of its target, CD79B. Our results reveal the striking impact of CD79B glycosylation on Pola-V epitope availability on the lymphoma cell surface and on Pola-V toxicity. Genetic, pharmacological, and enzymatic approaches that remove sialic acid from N-linked glycans enhanced lymphoma killing by Pola-V. Pola-V toxicity was also modulated by KLHL6, an E3 ubiquitin ligase that is recurrently inactivated in germinal center derived lymphomas. We reveal how KLHL6 targets CD79B for degradation in normal and malignant germinal center B cells, thereby determining expression of the surface BCR complex. Our findings suggest precision medicine strategies to optimize Pola-V as a lymphoma therapeutic.
