Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Left: Pie chart showing the percentage of DLBCL patients with chr. 11p amplification (17.4%). Right: Pie chart showing the fraction of DLBCL patients (n = 48, TCGA Firehose Legacy) with PDE3B amplification (16.7%). (B) Percentage of patients with PDE3B gains across B-cell malignancies (TCGA, MDACC dataset), with individual log2 copy-number values overlaid. (C) Spearman correlation between PDE3B log2 copy-number value and fraction genome altered (FGA) in mature B-cell malignancies. (D) PDE3B expression across indicated BCL cohorts, comparing normal B cells with BCLs; P values were calculated by grouping all normal samples and cancer samples separately and comparing the two groups using Student’s t-test. (E) DLBCL patient samples were obtained from the Rutgers Cancer Institute. The tumor tissue lysates and PBMC from a healthy donor were probed for PDE3B expression. (F) Kaplan-Meier survival curves in DLBCL (GSE4475) and multiple myeloma (GSE2658) patients showing reduced survival in patients with high PDE3B expression, stratified by median expression. (G) PDE3B-His was stably expressed in Ba/F3 cells. Cells were cultured in the presence or absence of IL3, and cell growth was determined by counting cell numbers. ****p<0.0001. (H) PDE3B was detected by IB across cell lines from different BCL subtypes. (I) PDE3B-His was stably expressed in indicated BCL cell lines, and cell proliferation was measured. ***p<0.001. (J and K) PDE3B was silenced with 2 sgRNAs in RPMI-8226 and OPM2 cell lines. Cell proliferation was measured. P-value calculation was done using multiple t-test comparisons, one per row ***p<0.001; ****p<0.0001. (L and M) Spleens from two-month-old C -/- and DKO mice were harvested for scRNA-seq. (L) Pan-cell-type UMAP embeddings with cells from both C -/- and DKO mice combined (n=10,000 cells per mouse). (M) Dot-plot of B-cell markers stratified by sub-population. Color represents average log fold expression.
