Ten human-derived MCL cell linesGRANTA519 (G519), HBL2, Z138, REC1, JVM2, UPN1, JEKO1, L128, MINO, and IRM2were cultured under standard conditions. Biopsy specimens from 183 patients di- agnosed with MCL obtained from three series were analyzed: (i ) a group of 68 Spanish MCL patient samples previously charac- terized by a-CGH and FISH (1); (ii ) a set of 59 biopsy specimens from German MCL patients from Kiel University; and (iii ) 56 biopsy specimens from Spanish MCL patients collected at CNIO (Madrid, Spain) and deposited in a tissue microarray (TMA). All cases presented with t(11;14)(q13;q32) translocation, CCND1- IGH gene fusion, and/or cyclin-D1 overexpression. For in vitro therapeutic experiments using primary MCL samples, mono- nuclear cells were isolated from fresh peripheral blood of four unselected patients with leukemic MCL. All clinical samples were obtained before initiation of therapy. The human inves- tigations were approved by an Institutional Review Board on Scientic and Ethical Affairs. Drug Screening. A cellular-genomic-proteomic approach was taken to identify molecular predictors of therapeutic response to a panel of clinically relevant compounds targeting selected molecular pathways in human MCL-derived cell lines. Individual tumor cy- totoxicity proles were correlated with genomic and gene ex- pression variations determined by a-CGH and gene expression microarrays, respectively, and with proteomic analysis. The drugs used were ABT-737 and the negative control enantiomer com- pound, kindly provided by Dr. Saul Rosenberg (Abbott) (2); suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (Vorinostat; Merck), trichostatin A (Sigma-Aldrich), roscovitine (A.G. Scientic), avopiridol (sa- no-aventis), rapamycin (Wyeth), and bortezomib (Millennium Pharmaceuticals). In addition, individual mouse lymphomas were treated with ABT-737, roscovitine, bortezomib, doxorubicin (Pzer), and TW-37 (kindly provided by S. Wang and J. Chen, University of Michigan). Quantitative Real-Time PCR. Total RNA was isolated from the cell lines and patient samples by TRIzol extraction (Invitrogen). cDNA was generated with the M-MLV RT enzyme (Invitrogen). qRT-PCR was performed in triplicate with SYBR Green PCR Master Mix (Applied Biosystems) and the ABI Prism 7500 system (Applied Biosystems). Results were normalized to GAPDH. CCND1-specic primers were forward, 5-CAAACACGCGCA- GACCTTC-3; reverse, 5-CTGGAGAGGAAGCGTGTGAG- 3. Mouse GAPDH-specic primers were forward, 5-ACTTTG- TCAAGCTCATTTCC-3; reverse, 5-TGCAGCGAACTTTA- TTGATG-3. BCL2-specic primers were forward, 5-GTCAA- CCGGGAGATGTCG-3; reverse, 5-GCATGCTGGGGCCG- TAC-3. Murine mBcl2-specic primers were forward, 5-GGA- TGACTGAGTACCTGAACC-3; reverse, 5-CAGCCAGGAG- AAATCAAACAG-3. Microarray Analysis of Human and Mouse Lymphomas. Genome- wide DNA copy number changes of human and mouse tumors were analyzed by a-CGH using the UCSF Human 2.0 and Mouse BAC arrays, respectively, as described in detail previously (3). Gene expression analysis of MCL cell lines was performed in duplicate using the Affymetrix Gene Chip HG-U133 Plus 2.0 arrays on an in-house Affymetrix workstation, as reported previously (3). To determine the ABT-737 gene expression signature, those gene sets with a statistically signicant difference in expression (B > 0) between the sensitive and resistant MCL cell lines were selected and mapped to the genome using the Ensemble database (4). A standard hypergeometric test was used for the enrichment anal- ysis, in which the genes represented in the microarray were taken as the reference set. Gene expression microarray data were sub- mitted to GEO (accession no. GSE25613). siRNA Knockdown of CCND1 and Bax Genes. Human CCND1 and murine Bax gene silencing was performed in human MCL cell lines and mouse lymphomas, respectively, by transfecting 2 μM of two different siRNAs against CCND1 (Ambion) or BAX (Ambion), or using the Silencer Negative Control-1 siRNA (Ambion) with the Amaxa Nucleofector device, as described previously (5). Cells were grown for 24 h before ABT-737 treatment. Measurement of cyclin-D1 and Bax protein expres- sion was evaluated by Western blot analysis at 72 h. Cell Viability, Apoptosis, and Cell Cycle Studies. Cell viability was determined using the 3-(4,5-dimethyl-thiazol-2yl)-5-(3-carbox- ymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium (MTS) re- duction assay (Promega). Apoptosis was assessed using the Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis Detection Kit (BD Biosciences). Cell uores- cence was detected on a FACSCalibur ow cytometer (BD Bio- sciences) and analyzed with CellQuest Pro software (BD Biosciences). In addition, activation of caspase 9 protein was evaluated by Western blot analysis (Cell Signaling). For cell cycle evaluation, cells were collected by centrifugation, washed with PBS, xed with 70% ethanol, incubated with 0.5 mg/mL RNase (Sigma-Aldrich) at 37 °C for 30 min, and stained with propidium bromide. Cell uorescence was evaluated by ow cytometry. All experiments were performed in triplicate after 48 h of incubation with the corresponding drugs. Western Blot and IHC Analyses. Western blot studies were performed as described previously (6). Proteins were detected using the fol- lowing antibodies: BAX, caspase-9, P27 Kip1 , and P21 Cip1 (Cell Signaling); BID, BCL2 (human), BAD, BAK, BIM, and MCL1 (human) (Stressgen); cyclin-D1, Bcl2 (mouse), MYC, RB, and P53 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology); actin (Calbiochem); P16 INK4a (Lab Vision); BCL-X L , Mcl1 (mouse), p19 ARF (mouse), and CDK6 (Abcam); and CDK4 (BD Pharmingen). For the charac- terization of mouse lymphomas by IHC assays, the following an- tibodies were used: BCL2, cyclin-D1, P53, and Ki67 (Dako). In the biopsy specimens included in the TMA, IHC, and FISH analyses for BCL2 expression and BCL2 gene copy number, respectively, were performed. The expression of BCL2 was measured by the ARIOL semiautomated computerized training system, as reported previously (7). The operation involves quantitative measurement (number of cells in a core of the patients sample) and qualitative assessment (intensity of staining). Pearsons correlation was ap- plied to BCL2 protein expression and BCL2 gene copy number. Flow Cytometry Analysis of Murine Lymphomas. Cells from the murine IL-3dependent BAF3 cell line, from clone CyD1-4, and from selected cyclin-D1expressing lymphomas [CyD1-4BCL2 (tumor 268), CyD1-4BCL2 (tumor 272), CyD1-41Gy (tumor 15), and CyD1-41Gy (tumor 601)] were incubated with rat anti- mouse B220 APC (clone RA3-6B2), rat anti-mouse IgM FITC (clone R6-60.2), rat anti-mouse CD23 FITC (clone B3B4), and rat anti-mouse CD5 FITC (53-7.3) (BD Pharmingen; 1:100 di- lution). Cell uorescence was detected using a FACSCalibur ow cytometer (BD Biosciences) and analyzed using FlowJo version 7.6.1 software. All experiments were performed in duplicate.

FISH Analysis. FISH was performed on fixed lymphoma cells fromcytogenetic analysis and on lymphoma biopsy specimens on theTMA as described previously (8, 9). A chromosome 10 centro-meric probe (Vysis CEP10 SpectrumOrange; Abbott Molecular)and a specific probe for BCL2 (Vysis LSI-BCL2 Dual-ColorBreak-Apart Probe; Abbott Molecular) were used. The BCL2copy number was calculated in relation to the tumor ploidymeasured by the number of CEP10 signals.

In Vivo Xenografted Mouse Models and Treatment with ABT-737. Allmouse experiments were performed in the Animal Core Facilitiesof the Center for Applied Medical Research (University ofNavarra) after being approved by the local Animal Ethics Com-mittee. Mouse xenografts were generated and monitored asreported previously (5). Groups of sixteen RAG2−/−γc−/− 6- to 8-wk-old mice (10) were inoculated i.v. via the tail vein with 2.5 ×106 cells from HBL2, G519, JEKO1, and L128 cell lines. For invivo therapy, mice received i.p. injections of ABT-737, which wasmixed with 30% propylene glycol, 5% Tween 80, and D5W (pH1.0), sonicated, and adjusted to pH 4–5. Four days after trans-plantation, eight mice from each group received ABT-737 (200μL i.p.) at 40 mg/kg/d for 14 consecutive days. The remainingeight mice received i.p. treatment with vehicle (control group).For survival analysis, time of death was considered to be thatoccurring either spontaneously or by elective killing because ofpain or suffering, in accordance with ethical criteria. OS was es-timated by the Kaplan–Meier method using GraphPad Prismversion 4.00. Tumor responses to the different therapies weremonitored in vivo by PET imaging (see below).

Generation of Cyclin-D1 Murine Models. A 1.1-kb fragment of hu-man CCND1 cDNA was amplified by PCR, digested withEcoRV, and ligated to the vector Combit-TA (kindly providedby Dr. I. Sanchez-Garcia) at the ScaI site (11). Combit-TA andCombit-TA-CCND1 plasmids were stably transfected into BaF3cells using the Amaxa Nucleofector device. Two cyclin-D1–ex-pressing clones were isolated by limiting dilution (termed CyD1-1 and CyD1-4), and 2.5 × 106 cells from each clone were in-oculated i.v. into RAG2−/−2γc−/− mice and monitored for tumordevelopment. To test whether irradiation can induce cell trans-formation, random irradiation of CyD1-1 and CyD1-4 cells wasperformed with 1–16 Gy using the Gammacell 1000 Elite/3000Elan machine (MDS Nordion). After irradiation, cells werecultured in media without IL-3. Several surviving clones wereidentified, expanded, and injected into immunocompromisedmice, which were followed up for tumor development. One ofthe clones that consistently generated tumors, the CyD1-4–1Gyclone, was selected for further experiments.To test whether coexpression of BCL2 could induce trans-

formation in cyclin-D1–expressing cells, the human BCL2 cDNAwas PCR-amplified from pCMV-Sport6 plasmid (RZPD;ImaGenes), digested with XhoI and EcoRI (New England Bi-olabs), and cloned into the pcDNA3.1 vector (Invitrogen). ThenBCL2 cDNA was subcloned into the pcDNA3.1/Hygro vector(Invitrogen) by ligating the NheI and HindIII (New EnglandBiolabs) fragment of pcDNA3.1-BCL2 into the pcDNA3.1/Hygro vector. Then pcDNA3.1/Hygro and pcDNA3.1/Hygro-BCL2 plasmids were stably transfected in CyD1-4 cells, andBCL2+ cells were selected with hygromycin. The CyD1-4 cellsexpressing BCL2 were injected i.v. (2.5 × 106) intoRAG2−/−γc−/− mice and monitored for tumor development (10).When signs of disease were observed in mice carrying eitherCyD1-4–1Gy or CyD1-4–BCL2 cells, spleens were harvested,and lymphoma cells were isolated and grown in culture mediumwithout IL-3. Independent CyD1-1–1Gy and CyD1-4–BCL2lymphoma cell lines were established and used for in vitro and invivo experiments. In vivo treatment of mouse lymphomas withDox and ABT-737 was performed after i.v. inoculation of 75 × 103

and 1 × 103 murine cells, respectively, into four groups of eightRAG2−/−γc−/− mice each. Four days after transplantation, eachgroup was treated with vehicle (i.p.), vehicle plus Dox (4 mg/mLin the drinking water), ABT-737 (200 μL i.p.) at 40 mg/kg/d for 14consecutive days, or ABT-737 plus Dox. For survival analysis, timeof death was considered to be that either occurring spontaneouslyor resulting from elective killing because of pain or suffering, inaccordance with ethical criteria. At the time of death, spleens andlivers were isolated and used for IHC and Western blot analyses.OS was estimated by the Kaplan–Meier method.

Generation and Bioluminescence Monitoring of the CyD1-4–mBcl2Mouse Model. Murine Bcl2 was cloned from murine pro-B-cellline BaF3 cDNA using the following primers: forward, 5′-CA-GATGAATTCCACCATGGCGCAAGCCGGGAG-3′; reverse,5′-ATCTGGTCGACTCACTTGTGGCCCAGGTATG-3′. A 0.7-kb EcoRI-SalI fragment was cloned in the pBABE-puro retro-viral vector (Addgene) digested with the same enzymes. Byretroviral infection, CyD1-4 cells were transduced with the SFG-nesTGL expression vector, which contains a fusion protein withGFP, luciferase, and HSV1-tk (12). To test the tumorigenecity ofCyD1-4 cell clones carrying the SFG-nesTGL vector, these wereinoculated in RAG2−/−γc−/−, which were followed up for morethan 6 mo without showing any signs of tumor development.Next, CyD1-4 cells carrying the SFG-nesTGL vector were ret-rovirally transduced with the pBABE-puro-mBcl2 vector. Allretroviral infections were performed in accordance with methodsreported previously (5). CyD1-4 cell with SFG-nesTGL andpBABE-puro-mBcl2 vectors were inoculated in RAG2−/−γc−/−mice, as described above. Lymphoma development was monitoredby bioluminescence imaging using the IVIS Imaging System(Xenogen). Toward this end, mice were anesthetized by i.p. in-jections of 40 μL of xilacin (Rompun 2%; Bayer) and ketamin(Imalgène 500; Merial) (1:9 dilution), and 150 mg/kg of Lucif-erin (firefly D-luciferin potassium salt; Xenogen) was injected i.p.Bioluminiscence images were obtained at 1 s and processed withLiving Image version 2.11 (Xenogen) and analyzed with IGOR(WaveMetrics). The color scale refers to 106 photons per secondper squared centimeter and squared radian.

PET Imaging of Tumors in Mice. To monitor tumor responses tochemotherapy in vivo, PET imaging was performed at certaintime points in a dedicated small animal Philips Mosaic PETsystem, with a 2-mm resolution, a 11.9-cm axial field of view, anda 12.8-cm transaxial field of view, as reported previously (5).

Determination of BAX Conformational Changes.Cells were fixed andpermeabilized using the Cytofix/Cytoperm Kit (BD Pharmigen)for 20 min at 4 °C. Cells were washed with Perm/Wash buffer(BD Pharmigen) and incubated with antibodies against BAX(YTH-6A7; Trevigen) or mouse-irrelevant IgG (M-5284; Sigma-Aldrich) for 20 min at room temperature. Samples were thenwashed, incubated with goat Alexa Fluor 488 antibody (In-vitrogen), and analyzed by flow cytometry on a FACSCaliburflow cytometer (BD Biosciences). All experiments were per-formed at 24 h in triplicate.

IF Studies.Cold methanol-fixed and permeabilized cells were usedfor IF studies. Cells were attached to polylisine-coated slides andincubated for 1 h in blocking solution and then overnight at 4 °Cwith the corresponding primary antibody, BAX (Cell Signaling),and cyclin-D1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology). Goat secondary an-tibodies conjugated with red or green fluorophores (anti-rabbitAlexa Fluor 594 or anti-mouse Alexa Fluor 488) were usedat optimal dilutions for a 30-min incubation. Nuclei were con-trasted with DAPI (Abbott) and mounted with Vectashield(Vector Laboratories). IF images were captured using a Zeiss

Subcellular Fractionation.Humanandmouse lymphomaswere lysedin an ice-cold solution containing 0.2% Nonidet P-40, 5 mM so-dium phosphate (pH 7.4), 50 mM NaCl, 150 mM sucrose, 5 mMKCl, 2mMDTT, 1mMMgCl2, 0.5mMCaCl2, and 0.1mMPMSF.The cytoplasmic fraction was collected after centrifugation oflysates at 1,000 × g for 10 min at 4 °C. The resulting pellet wasresuspended in 100 μL of the lysis solution without Nonidet P-40and loaded onto a cushion of a solution containing 30% (wt/vol)sucrose, 2.5 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), and 10 mM NaCl. Aftercentrifugation at 1,000 × g for 10min at 4 °C, nuclei were collectedand extracted for 30 min at 4 °C with an ice-cold solution con-taining 0.5% Triton X-100, 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), and 300mM NaCl. After centrifugation of the extract at 10,000 × g for 10min at 4 °C, the supernatant was collected as the nuclear fraction.Western blot analyses for cyclin-D1, BAX, Lamin A/C (as a con-trol of nuclear fraction; Cell Signaling Technology), and β-tubulin(as a control of cytoplasmic fraction; Sigma-Aldrich) were per-formed in nuclear and cytoplasmic fractions.

Immunoprecipitation Studies. Cells were washed and lysed in lysisbuffer [150mMNaCl, 5mMEDTA, 0.5mMCaCl2, 0.2%NonidetP-40, 0.2% Tween-20, 10% glycerol, 25 mM Hepes (pH 7.4)]supplemented with complete protease inhibitor tablets (Roche)for 30 min at 4 °C. Immunoprecipitations were performed using

an anti–cyclin-D1 antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) cross-linked to protein A agarose beads (Pierce) for 6 h at 4 °C. Todetect interaction with BAX, immunocomplexes were collectedby centrifugation, washed with lysis buffer, and subjected to 15%SDS/PAGE. Then separated proteins were transferred to PVDFmembranes (Millipore). Membranes were incubated with anti-BAX antibody (Cell Signaling) overnight at 4 °C. Immune com-plexes were visualized by enhanced chemiluminescence (Pierce)and exposed to X-ray film. Similar procedures were performed toconfirm the interaction of cyclin-D1 with CDK4 in human MCLcells and in murine lymphoma cells, using antibodies for humanCDK4 (BD Pharmingen) and murine Cdk4 (Upstate Bio-technology). To test the putative cyclin-D1 binding to apoptoticproteins in the murine lymphomas, the following antibodies wereused: Bak (Sigma-Aldrich), Noxa (Calbiochem), and Puma, Bim,and Bid (Cell Signaling).

Therapy of Primary MCL Samples. Mononuclear cells were isolatedfrom fresh peripheral blood cells obtained from fourMCLpatientswith leukemic disease by Ficoll–Paque gradient centrifugation.Cells (4 × 105) were then incubated in RPMI-1640 medium sup-plemented with 20% FBS and treated with 10 μM roscovitine and0–50 nMABT-737, singly or in combination, for 24 h. Cell viabilitywas quantified by the MTS assay. Expression of cyclin-D1 andBCL2 was measured by Western blot analysis in all cells beforeinitiation of therapy. All experiments were performed in triplicate.

Fig. S1. Cyclin-D1 inhibition enhances sensitivity to apoptosis in MCL cells. (A) Knockdown of cyclin-D1 by siRNA in the MCL cell lines JEKO1 and REC1 wasassociated with an accumulation of cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle and moderate growth retardation. (B) A cellular-genomic-proteomics approach wastaken to identify molecular predictors of therapeutic response to a panel of clinically relevant compounds targeting selected molecular pathways in 10 humanMCL-derived cell lines. Individual tumor cytotoxicity profiles were correlated with genomic and gene expression variations determined by comparative ge-nomic hybridization to BAC microarrays (a-CGH), gene expression microarrays, and proteomic analysis. (C) Initial screens showed that the individual MCL celllines presented variable sensitivity to each of the drugs. (D) Evaluation of the therapeutic responses to roscovitine, vorinostat, bortezomib, flavopiridol, ra-pamycin, and trichostatin A in the ABT-737–sensitive versus ABT-737–resistant MCL subgroups demonstrated that none of these compounds had a similarcytotoxic profile as the BH3 mimetic. These data indicate that ABT-737 sensitivity was exclusive of a subgroup of MCL cell lines. (E) Treatment with ABT-737induced apoptosis in the sensitive cell lines (GRANTA519, MINO, HBL2, and Z138), as shown by annexin V staining, but not in the resistant tumors (JEKO1 and

REC1). (F) ABT-737-treated mice transplanted with HBL2 cells experienced longer OS than mice treated with vehicle, accompanied by decreased lymphomaweights in spleen and liver. In contrast, mice carrying JEKO1 cells treated with ABT-737 or vehicle had a similar clinical outcome, and no statistically significantchanges were observed between spleen and liver weights. (G) Tumor responses were monitored by microPET. The maximum standardized uptake value(SUVmax) measured by microPET, corresponding to the glycolytic metabolism of tumor cells, was calculated for each tumor. Prolonged OS was accompaniedwith a decrease in the tumor glycolytic activity of HBL2-sensitive cells treated with ABT-737 compared with untreated cells (SUVmax, 2.64 vs. 0; P < 0.001; threemice per group). However, in the resistant JEKO1 cells, no significant changes in SUVmax were observed on ABT-737 exposure (1.96 vs. 2.55; P = 0.07; three miceper group). (H) The combination of cyclin-D1 silencing and ABT-737 (250 nM) exposure resulted in a statistically significant decrease in cell viability (Fig. 1D),increase in apoptosis, and accumulation of cells in the G1 phase in two ABT-737–resistant MCL cell lines.

Fig. S2. Genomic amplification and overexpression of BCL2 conditions ABT-737 sensitivity. (A) ABT-737–sensitive and ABT-737–resistant tumors were dis-tinguished by a gene expression signature composed of 93 overexpressed genes, 13 of which (14%) were mapped to chromosome bands 18q21-q22 (hy-pergeometric test, P = 6.85 × 10−15), including the BCL2 gene. Those genes mapped to chromosome 18q21 are marked with an asterisk. (B) Representation ofthe whole-genomic profile determined by a-CGH analysis in the 10 MCL cell lines. Only the four ABT-sensitive MCL cell lines showed genomic amplification ofthe chromosome region 18q21, including the BCL2 gene loci. (C) JEKO1 cells were ectopically transfected with either BCL2 or with an empty vector, and thentreated with increasing doses of ABT-737. No changes in cell viability were observed after treatment. (D) Representation of the a-CGH studies of three MCLcases (P4, P5, and P7) showing high-level amplification of BCL2 gene (between four and six copies). (E) Quantification of BCL2 expression by IHC in the 56 MCLcases on the TMA showed that tumors with genomic gain/amplification at the BCL2 gene locus had a greater number of cells with BCL2 expression comparedwith nonamplified lymphomas.

Fig. S3. Generation and characterization of cyclin-D1–expressing lymphomas in mice. (A) Representation of the Combit-TA vector, a tetracycline-regulatorysystem used for conditionally expressing CCND1/cyclin-D1. (B) Human CCND1 gene cloned into the Combit-TA vector was stably transfected into murine BaF3cells, and different single-cell clones isolated by limiting dilution were transplanted into RAG2−/−γc−/− mice. (C) In two of these cyclin-D1–expressing cell clones(CyD1-1 and CyD1-4), expression of cyclin-D1 could be turned off by adding Dox to the culture medium. Western blot analyses were performed at 48 and 72 h.(D) In vitro cyclin-D1 silencing of CyD1-4 cells was not associated with an independent growth of IL-3 and did not substantially modify cell cycle or apoptoticrates, but increased cell proliferation after 48 h. (E) Isolated single-cell clones at different concentrations (1–10 × 106 cells) were inoculated i.v. intoRAG2−/−γc−/− mice, but no tumor development was consistently observed after 270 d. (F) Isolated cell suspensions from CyD1-4–1Gy and CyD1-4–BCL2 lym-phomas were transplantable to secondary RAG2−/−γc−/− recipients, shortening the median latency period of tumor development with respect to parental cells(median OS, 17 ± 1 d and 19 ± 2 d, respectively). (G) Representative example of lymphomas developed in mice. (H) CCND1 expression was fourfold greater inCyD1-4–1Gy lymphomas compared with CyD1-4–BCL2 lymphomas. BCL2 (total) expression was twofold greater in CyD1-4–BCL2 lymphomas compared withCyD1-4–1Gy lymphomas. (I) Flow cytometry studies of the murine lymphomas revealed a CD19+B220+CD5−CD23−IgM− phenotype, corresponding to an im-mature B lymphocyte phenotype that resembled this of the originating BaF3 cells. (J) Whole-genome a-CGH analysis of mouse lymphomas identified genomicalterations common to human MCL, such as the gains of mouse chromosomes 6 and 9q (syntenic with gains of human chromosomes 3q21.1-q21.2, 7p11-p22.3,and 15q21-q25), and the deletions of 3q (syntenic with loss of 1p21-p22) and of chromosome 19 (including the loss of human chromosome 10q21-q24, whichharbors PTEN). Gains of 3q and 7p and loss of 1p21-p22 have been reported more frequently in blastoid/pleomorphic variants than in classic MCL. The UCSCGenome Bioinformatics Site (February 2009 version) was used (http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgGateway?org=human).

Fig. S4. Cooperation of cyclin-D1 and BCL2 combined targeting to treat MCL. (A) Addition of Dox to the drinking water of RAG2−/−γc−/− control mice did notmodify cyclin-D1 expression in liver cells. Cells stained with the cyclin-D1 antibody correspond to normal mouse hepatocytes. Dox treatment did not change theexpression of cyclin-D1 in these cells, suggesting that it corresponds to the endogenous protein. (B) Changes in the cell cycle in mouse lymphomas treated withDox, ABT-737, or the combination treatment. (C) A detailed description of the differences in growth rate, cell cycle and apoptotic indices in mouse lymphomasafter Dox-induced cyclin-D1 silencing, ABT-737 treatment, and the combination of Dox and ABT-737, with the corresponding controls. Remarkably, simulta-neous cyclin-D1 silencing and ABT-737 exposure had a synergistic therapeutic effect that was more effective than the individual cyclin-D1 inhibition or ABT-737exposure alone, as demonstrated by the decreased cell viability and the increased apoptosis. (D) Incubation of the murine lymphomas with the BH3 mimeticTW-37, bortezomib, and doxorubicin after Dox-induced cyclin-D1 inhibition was not associated with the synergistic therapy observed between ABT-737 andcyclin-D1 silencing.

To test the tumorigenecity of CyD1-4 cell clonescarrying the SFG-nesTGL vector, these were inoculated in RAG2−/−γc−/−, which were followed up for more than 6 mo with no signs of tumor development. Next,CyD1-4 cells with the SFG-nesTGL vector were transduced with the pBABE-puro-mBcl2 retroviral vector, and then inoculated and monitored for lymphomadevelopment by bioluminescence imaging using the IVIS Imaging System (Xenogen).

(E) and increase in apoptotic levels (F) without major changes in the cell cycle (G). Cyclin-D1 expression measured by Western blot analysis was silenced withDox in the lymphoma cells. (H) Flow cytometry analysis revealed an increase in the unbound BAX protein fraction after cyclin-D1 silencing in CyD1-4–mBcl2lymphomas. (I) Mice engrafted with CyD1-4–mBcl2 lymphomas received Dox, ABT-737, Dox plus ABT-737, or vehicle. Simultaneous therapeutic targeting ofcyclin-D1 and BCL2 was associated with a statistically significantly longer OS in engrafted mice in comparison with the group of mice treated with vehicle, Dox,or ABT-737 (P = 0.017). Fourteen mice were included in each group. (J) Lymphoma monitoring was performed by bioluminescence imaging at days +7 and +15after cell injection. Weaker signals were observed in the group treated with the combination therapy at day +15 compared with the other subgroups.

(B) Silencing of cyclin-D1 in mouse lymphomas did not modify the expression of Bcl2, Mcl1,Bcl-xl, Bax, or Bak, as determined by Western blot analysis. (C) Cyclin-D1/Bax immune complexes did not include Bak, Noxa, Bim, Puma, and Bad in the murinelymphomas. (D) Immunoprecipitation of cyclin-D1 complexes revealed the presence of BAX in JEKO1 cells and in the murine lymphomas (Fig. 5D), as well asCDK4/Cdk4 protein, a well-known partner of cyclin-D1. (E) Silencing of Bax by siRNA in CyD1-4–BCL2 and CyD1-4–1Gy murine lymphomas was associated witha significant reduction of the therapeutic effect after Dox-induced cyclin-D1 inhibition and ABT-737 exposure. Silencing of cyclin-D1 and Bax was confirmed byWestern blot analysis. Experiments were performed in duplicate.

Biopsy specimens from Spanish MCL patients were collected at CNIO (Madrid, Spain) and deposited in a TMA, constructed using a Tissue Arrayer (BeecherInstruments). These tumors were analyzed by IHC and FISH for BCL2 expression and for BCL2 gene copy number, respectively. The expression of BCL2 wasmeasured with the ARIOL semiautomated computerized training system. This procedure involves quantification (number of cells in a core of a patient’s sample)and qualitative (intensity of staining) assessment. In addition, BCL2 gene copy number was measured as described in Materials and Methods. BCL2 expressiondata and BCL2 gene copy number results were obtained for 56 cases. Most cases were studied in duplicate.
