Abstract

Resveratrol is a polyphenolic compound that exhibits anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory activities. BCL6, a transcriptional repressor frequently translocated in lymphomas, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and transformed follicular lymphoma (FL), regulates germinal center B-cell differentiation. We report herein that resveratrol treatment of human LY8 follicular lymphoma cells leads to an accumulation of LY8 cell in G0/G1 phase and apoptosis. Resveratrol decreased the expression of BCL6 protein, concomitant with the increased expression of several BCL6 regulated gene products, including p27, p53 and CD69. In addition, resveratrol reduces Myc expression in LY8 cells. These results demonstrate for the first time that resveratrol inhibits a BCL6-linked pathway and suggest that loss of BCL6 expression may represent a key event underlying the anti-proliferative activities of resveratrol on LY8 cells. The use of resveratrol to treat aggressive lymphomas with BCL6 and/or MYC translocations may prove useful as an effective therapy.
