Abstract
Sjogren's disease (SjD) is an autoimmune disease that is characterized not only by the sicca symptoms it causes but also by its systemic nature, which is capable of several and not yet fully understood extraglandular manifestations. To gain a clearer understanding of these manifestations as well as a better practical approach, a panel of experts from the Brazilian Society of Rheumatology conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on the identification of epidemiologic and clinical features of the extraglandular manifestations present in ESSDAI (EULAR Sjogren´s syndrome disease activity index), followed by a voting panel with recommendations for clinical practice. This publication is complementary to others already published and covers cutaneous and hematological manifestations, with prevalence data generated by a meta-analysis of 13 clinical or laboratory manifestations and 6 clinical management recommendations.

Abstract
Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS), a chronic autoimmune condition, has been associated with an increased risk of several cancers. This study aims to delve into the relationship between pSS and the potential development of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) utilizing an in-depth systematic review and meta-analysis approach. To thoroughly explore the topic, we conducted a thorough examination of the literature, drawing from reputable databases such as ProQuest, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Google Scholar. Our data collection spanned until February 8, 2024, with no time limitation. Data were analyzed with Stata 14 software at a significance threshold of p < 0.05. We examined 15 cohort studies encompassing a total of 50,308 individuals from 1997 to 2023. The findings revealed a substantial link between pSS and the risk of NHL, evident across all demographics. Specifically, the standardized incidence ratio (SIR) was generally 8.78 (95% CI 5.51, 13.99), with similar trends observed in both men (SIR, 6.29; 95% CI 1.93, 20.51) and women (SIR, 9.60; 95% CI 5.89, 15.63). Additionally, the SIR (10.50 (95% CI 7, 15.75)), HR (2.82 (95% CI 1.28, 6.18)), and OR (10.50 (95% CI 3.04, 36.28)) indices further supported this association. Furthermore, the risk of non-NHL associated with pSS was noticeable across different age groups of 40-49 years (SIR, 30.13; 95% CI 14.62, 62.08), 50-59 years (SIR, 9.12; 95% CI 5.13, 16.19), and 60-69 years (SIR, 9; 95% CI 4.68, 17.32). pSS substantively augments the likelihood of NHL manifestation. It notably impacts females and those in earlier stages of adulthood with more acuity than males and older cohorts.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW T-cell lymphomas (TCLs) are a group of rare subtypes of non-Hodgkin lymphoma derived from mature T-lymphocytes. Recent updates in lymphoma classification based on the cell-of-origin pathogenesis have shed new light on TCL epidemiology and outcomes. Contemporary regional consortia and international studies, including those conducted recently in Asia and South America, have provided an updated delineation of the major subtypes across various global regions. RECENT FINDINGS Peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS), remains the most common subtype globally except in Asia, where extra-nodal NK-T cell lymphoma (ENKTL) has emerged as the most prevalent. Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is the second most common subtype globally except in South America where its incidence falls behind adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) and ENKTL. ALK-negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) has been recognized as the second most common subtype in some parts of South America. Studies on the newly classified breast implant-associated ALCL (BIA-ALCL) are beginning to reveal its distribution and risk factors. Deciphering the epidemiology of TCLs is a challenging endeavor due to the rarity of these entities and ongoing refinement in classification. Collaborative efforts on prospective registries based on the most current WHO classifications will help capture the true epidemiology of TCL subtypes to better focus resources for diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic efforts.

Sarcoidosis and lymphoma mortality risk: An observational study from the Spanish National Registry. J Transl Autoimmun 2024; 8:100236. [PMID: 38426202 PMCID: PMC10901907 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtauto.2024.100236] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 02/18/2024] [Accepted: 02/18/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Patients with sarcoidosis have a lower survival rate than the general population, in part due to cardiovascular disease, infections and neoplasms. Our objective was to evaluate the impact of haematological neoplasms (HN) and lymphomas on sarcoidosis patient mortality in a nation-wide analysis conducted in Spain, a country with a population of 47 million. Methods Retrospective and observational comparison of the HN related deaths in sarcoidosis patients and the general Spanish population reported in the Spanish Hospital Discharge Database. To determine the impact of sarcoidosis on the risk of dying from each HN lineage, a binary logistic regression considering age, female sex, tobacco and alcohol consumption, was performed. Results In the period 2016 and 2019, 139,531 in-hospital deaths from neoplasms were certified in Spain (77 in patients with sarcoidosis). Patients with sarcoidosis died at younger age than the general Spanish population (72.9 vs 77.6, p<0.001). Sarcoidosis patients presented a higher mortality risk from HN (20.8% vs 8.9%, p=0.001, OR=2.64, 95% CI 1.52-4.59), attributable to the higher proportion of deaths from non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), (9.2% vs 2.9%, p=0.006, OR= 3.33, 95% CI 1.53-7.25) from both B cell (6.6% vs 2.5%, p=0.044, OR= 2.62, 95% 1.06-6.5) and T/NK cell lineages (2.6% vs 0.3%, p=0.024, OR= 7.88, 95% CI 1.92-32.29) as well as HN with uncertain behavior and myeloproliferative disorders (2.6% vs 0.3%, p=0.018, OR= 11.88, 95% CI 2.88-49.02). The mean age of sarcoidosis patients who died from HN (63.6 vs 71.9, p=0.032) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (56.9 vs 71, p=0.009) was lower than that of the general population. Conclusion Patients with sarcoidosis present a higher risk of premature death from HN, including NHL from B, T/NK cell lineage and myeloproliferative disorders in comparison with the general Spanish population. In addition to developing strategies that might help to attenuate their occurrence and impact, such as decreasing the immunosuppressive burden, specific early-detection programs for these conditions should be investigated and considered carefully.

Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy, an innovative immune cell therapy, has revolutionized the treatment landscape of haematological malignancies. The past 2 years has witnessed the successful application of CD19-targeting CAR constructs in refractory cases of autoimmune rheumatic diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis and anti-synthetase syndrome. In comparison with existing B cell depletion therapies, targeting CD19 has demonstrated a more rapid and profound therapeutic effect, enabling drug-free remission with manageable adverse events. These promising results necessitate validation through long-term, large-sample randomized controlled studies. Corroborating the role of CAR-T therapy in refractory rheumatological disorders and affirming safety, efficacy and durability of responses are the aims of future clinical studies. Optimizing the engineering strategies and better patient selection are also critical to further refining the successful clinical implementation of CAR-T therapy.

Abstract
Background First classified in 2016, high-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBCL) is a lymphoid neoplasm that is typically seen as an aggressive lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD). In most patients with HGBCL, various oncogene rearrangements present with advanced clinical features, such as central nervous system involvement. Patients with underlying autoimmune and rheumatologic conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, are at higher risk for developing LPDs, including highly aggressive subtypes of non-Hodgkin lymphomas such as HGBCL. Case Presentation We present a case of stage IV double-hit HGBCL with the presence of MYC and BCL6 gene rearrangements in an older veteran with rheumatoid arthritis treated with methotrexate. An excellent sustained response was observed for the patient's disease within 4 weeks of methotrexate discontinuation. To our knowledge, this is the first reported response to methotrexate discontinuation for a patient with HGBCL. Conclusions Reducing immunosuppression should be considered in all patients with LPDs associated with autoimmune conditions or immunosuppressive medications, regardless of additional multiagent systemic therapy administration.

Abstract
Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune rheumatic disorder characterized by exocrine gland dysfunction, mainly from the lacrimal and salivary glands. The disease causes severe aqueous dry eye syndrome (DED) and is associated with high rates of complications, including corneal ulceration, scaring, and perforation. Systemic complications may occur as well as a higher risk of developing lymphoma. Diagnosis of SS-DED is often delayed and difficult to establish. With the aim of discovering biomarkers to help discriminate SS-DED patients, a combination of untargeted and targeted LC-MS/MS analyses were performed on tear samples collected on Schirmer strips and subjected to tryptic digestion. Following the analysis of three cohorts and the development of two targeted LC-sMRM methods for the verification of putative biomarkers found in the first cohort of samples, 64 proteins could be linked to Sjögren's syndrome, in the hopes of helping to confirm diagnoses as well as potentially stratifying the severity of disease in these patients. Proteins that were increased in SS-DED showed activation of the immune system and alterations in homeostasis. Several proteases and protease inhibitors were found to be significantly changing in SS-DED, as well as a consistent decrease in specific proteins known to be secreted by the lacrimal gland.

METHODS Based on large-scale genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary-level data sets, we observed genetic overlaps between autoimmune diseases and B-ALL, and cross-trait pleiotropic analysis was performed to detect shared pleiotropic loci and genes. A series of functional annotation and tissue-specific analysis were performed to determine the influence of pleiotropic genes. The heritability enrichment analysis was used to detect crucial immune cells and tissues. Finally, bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) methods were utilized to investigate the casual associations. RESULTS Our research highlighted shared genetic mechanisms between seven autoimmune disorders and B-ALL. A total of 73 pleiotropic loci were identified at the genome-wide significance level (P < 5 × 10-8), 16 of which had strong evidence of colocalization. We demonstrated that several loci have been previously reported (e.g., 17q21) and discovered some novel loci (e.g., 10p12, 5p13). Further gene-level identified 194 unique pleiotropic genes, for example IKZF1, GATA3, IKZF3, GSDMB, and ORMDL3. Pathway analysis determined the key role of cellular response to cytokine stimulus, B cell activation, and JAK-STAT signaling pathways. SNP-level and gene-level tissue enrichment suggested that crucial role pleiotropic mechanisms involved in the spleen, whole blood, and EBV-transformed lymphocytes. Also, hyprcoloc and stratified LD score regression analyses revealed that B cells at different developmental stages may be involved in mechanisms shared between two different diseases. Finally, two-sample MR analysis determined causal effects of asthma and rheumatoid arthritis on B-ALL. CONCLUSIONS Our research proved shared genetic architecture between autoimmune disorders and B-ALL and shed light on the potential mechanism that might involve in.

Causal relationship between circulating cytokines and follicular lymphoma: a two-sample Mendelian randomization study. Am J Cancer Res 2024; 14:1577-1593. [PMID: 38726270 PMCID: PMC11076242 DOI: 10.62347/jckd6973] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Follicular lymphoma (FL), derived from germinal centre (GC) B cells, is a kind of systemic neoplasm. Even though FL is indolent, it remains an incurable haematology Neoplasm. Accumulating evidence has suggested that the circulating cytokine is associated with the development of FL, yet the causal relationship between FL and circulating cytokines remains undetermined. Therefore, we conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) to confirm the causal link between FL and levels of circulating cytokines with the use of summary data on circulating cytokines and FL. All these data from genome-wide association study were derived from the Genome-wide pQTL mapping which contains 14,824 individuals. FL data were acquired exclusively from FinnGen, where 218,792 individuals (522 cases vs. 218,270 controls) were involved. Various statistical methods, including the inverse variance weighted method (IVW), weighted median (WME), simple model, weighted model (WM) and MR-Egger, were used to evaluate the potential causal connection between circulating cytokines and FL. Sensitivity analysis, which involves the examination of the heterogeneity, pleiotropy, and leave-one-out method, was also performed to ensure more trustworthy results. A bidirectional MR test was performed to evaluate the direction of causal association between circulating cytokines and FL. Combining all the steps of MR analysis, we revealed four causal cytokines: C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 5 (CXCL5), interleukin-15 receptor A (IL15RA), interleukin-20 (IL20), and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3). The risk of FL may be inversely linked to CXCL5 (OR=0.73, CI: 0.545-0.979, P=0.036), IL-15RA (OR=0.669, CI: 0.451-0.993, P=0.046), and IL-20 (OR=0.565, CI: 0.325-0.981, P=0.043) but positively linked to NT-3 (OR=1.872, CI: 1.063-3.297, P=0.03). In addition, in our study, no causal effect of FL on cytokines was demonstrated and no significant heterogeneity and pleiotropy were found. Our research revealed the causal relationship between cytokines and FL, along with both the anti-protective effect of CXCL5, IL-15RA, and IL-20 and the protective effect of neurotrophin-3 on FL. These findings aim to provide new clues regarding the pathogenesis of FL and to extend the potential of circulating cytokines to therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease may be at higher risk of developing lymphomas and other cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, there may be a link between the use of thiopurines or anti-tumor necrosis factor drugs (anti-TNF) and these pathologies. The treatment of patients with Crohn's disease who have previously been diagnosed with lymphoma is a challenge for gastroenterologists. In this report, we examine important clinical issues related to the treatment of patients with inflammatory bowel disease with active lymphoma, as well as of patients with hematological cancer history. In this discussion, we take into account most of the available treatments for inflammatory bowel disease, as well as the impact of chronic inflammation and viral infections. In addition, we try to find common ground for the development of lymphoproliferative disorders and autoimmune diseases. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease may be at higher risk of developing lymphomas and other cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. Chronic inflammatory processes and viral infections play an important role in carcinogenesis. In addition, there may be a link between the use of thiopurines or anti-TNF drugs and these pathologies. A significant risk of the development of lymphoma in people undergoing each therapy should be considered, and it should be estimated how much greater this risk will be in patients with a history of lymphoproliferative disorders. The following review is an attempt to answer which therapy would be the most appropriate for patients with Crohn's disease and a history of lymphoma treatment. A lack of clear guidelines creates great challenges for doctors.

Abstract
This epidemiological study examined ocular and orbital lymphomas in the United States from 1995 to 2018, using data from the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries database of 87,543 patients with ocular and adnexal malignancies. We identified 17,878 patients (20.4%) with ocular and orbital lymphomas, with an age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) of 2.6 persons per million (ppm). The incidence was the highest in the orbit (ASIR = 1.24), followed by the conjunctiva (ASIR = 0.57). Non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma was the most prevalent subtype (85.4%), particularly marginal-zone lymphoma (45.7%). Racial disparities were noted, with Asia-Pacific Islanders showing the highest incidence (orbit, 1.3 ppm). The incidence increased significantly from 1995 to 2003 (Average Percent Change, APC = 2.1%) but declined thereafter until 2018 (APC = - 0.7%). 5-year relative survival (RS) rates varied, with the highest rate for conjunctival lymphoma (100%) and the lowest for intraocular lymphoma (70.6%). Survival rates have generally improved, with an annual increase in the 5-year RS of 0.45%. This study highlights the changing epidemiological landscape, pointing to initial increases and subsequent decreases in incidence until 2003, with survival improvements likely due to advancements in treatment. These findings underscore the need for further research to investigate the root causes of these shifts and the declining incidence of ocular lymphoma.

Abstract
CASE PRESENTATION The patient is a 49-year-old woman who had never used tobacco with a history of relapsing polychondritis and episcleritis. She sought treatment at our clinic for evaluation of multiple lung masses. She originally received a diagnosis by chest radiography performed to rule out sarcoidosis as the cause of episcleritis showing an abnormal findings. She had no contributory surgical, family, or social history. The autoimmune markers were notable for positive rheumatoid factor (153 IU/mL) and elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (97 mm/h) and C-reactive protein (65.5 mg/L). Pertinent studies with negative results included antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody, antinuclear antibody, cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody, Sjogren syndrome-related antigen A, and Sjogren syndrome-related antigen B tests.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The goal of this project was to evaluate the effect of surgical treatment and the long-term survival of patients with staged IE/IIE pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. METHODS From January 2004 to December 2018, we retrospectively analysed 96 patients diagnosed with low-stage primary pulmonary MALT lymphoma according to the modified Ann Arbor staging system (IE/IIE). We compared the outcomes of different treatment modalities for staged IE/IIE MALT lymphoma. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival were estimated using Kaplan-Meier curves, and the differences were compared using the log-rank test. The Cox proportional hazards model was used in this study. RESULTS The median PFS time of low-staged MALT lymphomas was 118 months. The overall survival and PFS of the radical surgery group and the biopsy + chemotherapy group suggested no significant difference (P = 0.63, P = 0.65). Patients positive for Blc-2 and Ki-67 suffered from a compromised PFS (P = 0.023, P = 0.006). The Cox adjusted proportional hazards model analysis suggested that surgical procedures were not protective factors for patients with low-staged (IE/IIE) pulmonary MALT lymphoma, whereas being positive for Blc-2 and Ki-67 was a risk factor for patients with low-staged pulmonary MALT lymphoma (hazard ratio: 9.567; P = 0.044; hazard ratio: 6.042, P = 0.049). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggested that for staged IE/IIE pulmonary MALT lymphoma, radical surgical resection did not provide a survival benefit compared with chemotherapy after biopsy. Thus, radical surgery may be avoided unless biopsy is necessary for a diagnosis that requires sublobar resection. For those lesions that were Blc-2- or Ki-67-positive, compromised survival may be suggested.

Abstract
Objective To examine whether genetically predicted susceptibility to ten autoimmune diseases (Behçet's disease, coeliac disease, dermatitis herpetiformis, lupus, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, sarcoidosis, Sjögren's syndrome, systemic sclerosis, and type 1 diabetes) is associated with risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Design Two sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study. Setting Genome wide association studies (GWASs) of ten autoimmune diseases, NHL, and four NHL subtypes (i.e., follicular lymphoma, mature T/natural killer-cell lymphomas, non-follicular lymphoma, and other and unspecified types of NHL). Analysis We used data from the largest publicly available GWASs of European ancestry for each autoimmune disease, NHL, and NHL subtypes. For each autoimmune disease, we extracted single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) strongly associated (P < 5×10-8) with that disease and that were independent of one another (R2 < 1×10-3) as genetic instruments. SNPs within the human leukocyte antigen region were not considered due to potential pleiotropy. Our primary MR analysis was the inverse-variance weighted analysis. Additionally, we conducted MR-Egger, weighted mode, and weighted median regression to address potential bias due to pleiotropy, and robust adjusted profile scores to address weak instrument bias. We carried out sensitivity analysis limited to the non-immune pathway for nominally significant findings. To account for multiple testing, we set the thresholds for statistical significance at P < 5×10-3. Participants The number of cases and controls identified in the relevant GWASs were 437 and 3,325 for Behçet's disease, 4,918 and 5,684 for coeliac disease, 435 and 341,188 for dermatitis herpetiformis, 4,576 and 8,039 for lupus, 11,988 and 275,335 for psoriasis, 22,350 and 74,823 for rheumatoid arthritis, 3,597 and 337,121 for sarcoidosis, 2,735 and 332,115 for Sjögren's syndrome, 9,095 and 17,584 for systemic sclerosis, 18,942 and 501,638 for type 1 diabetes, 2,400 and 410,350 for NHL; and 296 to 2,340 cases and 271,463 controls for NHL subtypes. Exposures Genetic variants predicting ten autoimmune diseases: Behçet's disease, coeliac disease, dermatitis herpetiformis, lupus, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, sarcoidosis, Sjögren's syndrome, systemic sclerosis, and type 1 diabetes. Main outcome measures Estimated associations between genetically predicted susceptibility to ten autoimmune diseases and the risk of NHL. Results The variance of each autoimmune disease explained by the SNPs ranged from 0.3% to 3.1%. Negative associations between type 1 diabetes and sarcoidosis and the risk of NHL were observed (odds ratio [OR] 0.95, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.92 to 0.98, P = 5×10-3, and OR 0.92, 95% CI: 0.85 to 0.99, P = 2.8×10-2, respectively). These findings were supported by the sensitivity analyses accounting for potential pleiotropy and weak instrument bias. No significant associations were found between the other eight autoimmune diseases and NHL risk. Of the NHL subtypes, type 1 diabetes was most strongly associated with follicular lymphoma (OR 0.91, 95% CI: 0.86 to 0.96, P = 1×10-3), while sarcoidosis was most strongly associated with other and unspecified NHL (OR 0.86, 95% CI: 0.75 to 0.97, P = 1.8×10-2). Conclusions These findings suggest that genetically predicted susceptibility to type 1 diabetes, and to some extent sarcoidosis, might reduce the risk of NHL. However, future studies with different datasets, approaches, and populations are warranted to further examine the potential associations between these autoimmune diseases and the risk of NHL.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We present an updated overview of the hematological involvementassociated with sarcoidosis, including a management approach forcytopenias and revisiting the association with hematologicalmalignancies. AREAS COVERED Theetiology of cytopenias in sarcoidosis can be attributed to two majoretiopathogenic mechanisms: infiltration of hematopoietic organs suchas the spleen and bone marrow, and autoimmune-mediated cytopenias.With respect to the association with hematological malignancies, itrequires careful evaluation of patients from a chronologicalperspective. Patients must be classified into one of three pathogenicscenarios, including preexisting hematological malignancies,synchronous development of malignancy and sarcoidosis due to commonpredisposing factors, or sarcoidosis as a predisposing factor formalignancies. EXPERT OPINION The association between sarcoidosis and hematologic involvement isbest understood as a pathogenic continuum, with cytopenias andhematologic neoplasms intertwined due to various etiopathogenicmechanisms. These mechanisms include sarcoid infiltration ofhematopoietic organs, common predisposing immunogenetics for thedevelopment of autoimmune cytopenias and malignancies, and anincreased risk of neoplasm development in patients with autoimmunecytopenias. Collaboration among the main specialties involved in theclinical management of these patients is crucial for an earlymonitoring and management.

Abstract
Extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (ENMZL) of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), a rare subtype of B-cell lymphoma, is typically associated with Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) infection, especially in gastric cases. However, this article presents 2 unique cases of H pylori-negative colonic ENMZL, challenging the conventional understanding of the disease. The first case involves an 80-year-old male diagnosed with Stage 1E ENMZL in the descending colon, and the second describes a 74-year-old male with sigmoid colon ENMZL. Both cases lacked H pylori infection, adding complexity to their management. Accompanying these case studies is a comprehensive literature review, delving into the epidemiology, pathology, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of H pylori-negative ENMZL, with a focus on gastrointestinal involvement. This review highlights the importance of considering H pylori-negative cases in ENMZL diagnosis and management, illustrating the need for further research and individualized treatment approaches in this uncommon lymphoma subtype.

Abstract
Lymphoma is a heterogeneous group of malignancies arising from lymphocytes, which poses a significant challenge in terms of diagnosis and treatment due to its diverse subtypes and underlying mechanisms. This review aims to explore the shared and distinct features of various forms of lymphoma predisposing conditions, with a focus on genetic, immunological and molecular aspects. While diseases such as autoimmune disorders, inborn errors of immunity and iatrogenic immunodeficiencies are biologically and immunologically distinct, each of these diseases results in profound immune dysregulation and a predisposition to lymphoma development. Interestingly, the increased risk is often skewed towards a particular subtype of lymphoma. Patients with inborn errors of immunity in particular present with extreme forms of lymphoma predisposition, providing a unique opportunity to study the underlying mechanisms. External factors such as chronic infections and environmental exposures further modulate the risk of lymphoma development. Common features of conditions predisposing to lymphoma include: persistent inflammation, recurrent DNA damage or malfunctioning DNA repair, impaired tumor surveillance and viral clearance, and dysregulation of fundamental cellular processes such as activation, proliferation and apoptosis. Our growing understanding of the underlying mechanisms of lymphomagenesis provides opportunities for early detection, prevention and tailored treatment of lymphoma development.

Wang SS. Epidemiology and etiology of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Semin Hematol 2023; 60:255-266. [PMID: 38242772 PMCID: PMC10962251 DOI: 10.1053/j.seminhematol.2023.11.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Revised: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/21/2024]
Abstract
As the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma subtype, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) incidence patterns generally parallel that for NHL overall. Globally, DLBCL accounts for a third of all NHLs, ranging between 20% and 50% by country. Based on United States (U.S.) cancer registry data, age-standardized incidence rate for DLBCL was 7.2 per 100,000. DLBCL incidence rises with age and is generally higher in males than females; in the U.S., incidence is highest among non-Hispanic whites (9.2/100,000). Like NHL incidence, DLBCL incidence rose in the first half of the 20th century but has largely plateaued. However, there is some evidence that incidence rates are rising in areas of historically low rates, such as Asia; there are also estimates for rising DLBCL incidence in the near future due to the changing demographics in developed countries whose aging population is growing. Established risk factors for DLBCL include those that result in severe immune deficiency such as HIV/AIDS, inherited immunodeficiency syndromes, and organ transplant recipients. Factors that lead to chronic immune dysregulations are also established risk factors, and include a number of autoimmune conditions (eg, Sjögren syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis), viral infections (eg, HIV, KSHV/HHV8, HCV, EBV), and obesity. Family history of NHL/DLBCL, personal history of cancer, and multiple genetic susceptibility loci are also well-established risk factors for DLBCL. There is strong evidence for multiple environmental exposures in DLBCL etiology, including exposure to trichloroethylene, benzene, and pesticides and herbicides, with recent associations noted with glyphosate. There is also strong evidence for associations with other viruses, such as HBV. Recent estimates suggest that obesity accounts for nearly a quarter of DLBCLs that develop, but despite recent gains in the understanding of DLBCL etiology, the majority of disease remain unexplained. An understanding of the host and environmental contributions to disease etiology, and concerted efforts to expand our understanding to multiple race/ethnic groups, will be essential for constructing clinically relevant risk prediction models and develop effective strategies for disease prevention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate prevalences of head and neck cancers in patients with and those without Sjögren's syndrome using a population-based dataset. METHODS We retrieved sampled patients from Taiwan's Longitudinal Health Insurance Database. This study included 38 930 patients with Sjögren's syndrome and 155 720 propensity-score matched comparison patients without Sjögren's syndrome. RESULTS Chi-squared tests revealed that there was a statistically significant difference in the prevalences of head and neck cancers between patients with Sjögren's syndrome and comparison patients (1.77% vs. 1.22%, p < 0.001). The odds ratio for head and neck cancers for patients with Sjögren's syndrome relative to the comparison group was 1.452 (95% CI = 1.325-1.592). CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated that patients with Sjögren's syndrome face increased odds of head and neck cancers, encompassing several sites including the oral cavity, oropharynx, nasopharynx, and thyroid.

Abstract
Immune dysregulation is thought to increase the risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), but the evidence varies by subtype. We evaluated whether antinuclear antibodies (ANA), double-stranded DNA antibodies (anti-dsDNA), and extractable nuclear antigen antibodies (anti-ENA) were associated with the risk of common NHL subtypes in a nested case-control study. The autoantibodies were tested in serum collected years prior to NHL diagnosis in 832 cases and 809 controls from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial. Logistic regression was used to determine odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for the association with NHL risk. No association was observed between ANA positivity and NHL risk overall (OR: 1.18, 95% CI: 0.88-1.58); however, ANA positivity was associated with an increased risk of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (OR: 1.83, 95% CI: 1.15-2.91), with 19.7% of cases and 12.2% of controls testing positive. The presence of either anti-ENA or anti-dsDNA was associated with an increased risk of NHL (OR: 2.93, 95% CI: 1.18-7.28), particularly DLBCL (OR: 3.51, 95% CI: 1.02-12.0) and marginal zone lymphoma (OR: 8.86, 95% CI: 1.26-62.0). Our study demonstrates that autoantibodies are associated with an elevated risk of DLBCL, providing support for autoimmunity as a risk factor.

Abstract
Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a rare autoimmune intraepidermal bullous disease. PV has a major effect on morbidity as well as quality of life. There is sparse literature regarding the association between pemphigus vulgaris (PV) and comorbid malignancies. In this study we aimed to assess the risk of malignancy in a cohort of patients with PV and characterize PV-associated malignancies. Data were collected from two tertiary referral centers between the years 2008 and 2019 and compared with the national cancer registry. Of 164 patients with PV, 19 were diagnosed with malignancy: seven prior to PV diagnosis and 12 after. All cancers, solid and hematological, displayed higher incidences compared to the general population (p <0.001). In conclusion, we demonstrated higher rates of malignancies among patients with PV than in the general population. These observations suggest the need for careful assessment and follow up of patients with PV, given the possibility of associated malignancies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We undertook this study to analyze whole blood gene expression and to investigate the role of B cell genes in primary Sjögren's syndrome-related non-Hodgkin lymphoma (primary SS-NHL). METHODS Peripheral whole blood samples were collected from 345 well-phenotyped patients with primary SS enrolled in the prospective Assessment of Systemic Signs and Evolution in Sjögren's Syndrome (ASSESS) cohort. Transcriptomic analysis was performed using human Clariom S Arrays (Affymetrix). In our primary analysis, we considered patients with incident lymphoma (i-primary SS-NHL) as the case group and all patients without lymphoma as the comparison group. In our sensitivity analyses, we considered all patients with primary SS-NHL, including those with a history of lymphoma (h-primary SS-NHL), as the case group and primary SS patients without lymphoma, stratified on their risk factors of lymphoma, as the comparison group. RESULTS Twenty-one patients with primary SS-NHL (including 8 with i-primary SS-NHL and 13 h-primary SS-NHL) were eligible for transcriptomic analysis; we compared these patients to 324 primary SS controls without lymphoma, including 110 with moderate to severe disease activity and 61 with no risk factor of lymphoma. Functional clustering analyses revealed an enrichment of genes related to innate and adaptive immunity, including B cell-related genes. Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) and a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) genes were overexpressed before the occurrence of lymphoma in patients with incident lymphoma compared with patients without lymphoma. In sensitivity analyses, BTK was consistently up-regulated across all comparisons performed. BTK expression was associated with risk of lymphoma on multivariate analyses, which considered 9 validated predictors of lymphoma in primary SS. CONCLUSION BTK and APRIL were overexpressed in the peripheral blood of primary SS patients prior to lymphoma. The association between BTK, APRIL, and primary SS-NHL requires confirmation in other prospective cohorts.

Abstract
Cells utilize different metabolic processes to maintain their growth and differentiation. Tumor cells have made some metabolic changes to protect themselves from malnutrition. These metabolic alterations affect the tumor microenvironment and macroenvironment. Developing drugs targeting these metabolic alterations could be a good direction. In this review, we briefly introduce metabolic changes/regulations of the tumor macroenvironment and microenvironment and summarize potential drugs targeting the metabolism in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Abstract
Epidemiologic evidence is limited about associations between T2DM, metformin, and the risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). We aimed to examine associations between T2DM, metformin, and the risk of NHL in the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) Study. Information on T2DM status (diabetes status/types of antidiabetic drug use/diabetes duration) from study enrollment and during follow-up were assessed. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to evaluate associations of T2DM status with risks of overall NHL and its three major subtypes [diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL, n = 476), follicular lymphoma (FL, n = 301) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL, n = 136)] based on multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards models. During a median follow-up of 18.86 years (range, 0.01-25.13; SD ± 6.55), a total of 1637 women developed NHL among 147 885 postmenopausal women. Women with T2DM and with self-reported oral medication use had 38% and 55% higher risk of DLBCL, respectively [multivariable-adjusted model HR = 1.38, 95% CI (1.06-1.81) and HR = 1.55, 95% CI (1.16-2.06)] compared to the reference group (nondiabetics/untreated diabetes). Risks of NHL and DLBCL [multivariable-adjusted model: HR = 1.28, 95% CI (1.06-1.54) and HR = 1.56, 95% CI (1.13-2.14), respectively] were significantly higher in associations with relatively short duration (≤7 years) of diabetes, compared to reference group. Additionally, an increased risk of DLBCL [HR = 1.76, 95% CI (1.13-2.75)] was found in metformin users compared to the reference group. Postmenopausal women who had T2DM, who were oral antidiabetic drug users, especially metformin, and who had a shorter diabetes duration may have higher risks of DLBCL. Further well-designed research is needed to confirm our findings.

Abstract
Mature lymphoid neoplasms arise de novo or by the transformation of more indolent lymphomas in a process that relies on the stepwise accumulation of genomic and transcriptomic alterations. The microenvironment and neoplastic precursor cells are heavily influenced by pro-inflammatory signaling, regulated in part by oxidative stress and inflammation. Reactive oxygen species (ROSs) are by-products of cellular metabolism able to modulate cell signaling and fate. Moreover, they play a crucial role in the phagocyte system, which is responsible for antigen presentation and the selection of mature B and T cells under normal conditions. Imbalances in pro-oxidant and antioxidant signaling can lead to physiological dysfunction and disease development by disrupting metabolic processes and cell signaling. This narrative review aims to analyze the impact of reactive oxygen species on lymphomagenesis, specifically examining the regulation of microenvironmental players, as well as the response to therapy for B-cell-derived non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Further research is needed to investigate the involvement of ROS and inflammation in the development of lymphomas, which may unravel disease mechanisms and identify innovative therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) is an aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. There are two forms of ALCL: primary and secondary. Primary can be systemic, affecting multiple organs, or cutaneous, affecting mainly the skin. A secondary form occurs when another lymphoma undergoes an anaplastic transformation. ALCL rarely presents as initial symptoms of respiratory failure. In most of these situations, the trachea or bronchial involved with an obstruction was present. We present an unusual case of ALCL where the patient rapidly progressed to acute hypoxic respiratory failure with a patent bronchus and trachea. Unfortunately, the patient rapidly deteriorated and died before diagnosis. Only upon at autopsy, it was found that his lung parenchyma was diffusely involved with ALCL. The autopsy report showed that the patient had CD-30 anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-negative ALCL diffusely involving all lung fields.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24076102. [PMID: 37047075 PMCID: PMC10094152 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24076102] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2023] [Revised: 03/05/2023] [Accepted: 03/16/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Epidemiological evidence supports an association between cow’s milk consumption and the risk of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma worldwide. This narrative review intends to elucidate the potential impact of milk-related agents, predominantly milk-derived exosomes (MDEs) and their microRNAs (miRs) in lymphomagenesis. Upregulation of PI3K-AKT-mTORC1 signaling is a common feature of DLBCL. Increased expression of B cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) and suppression of B lymphocyte-induced maturation protein 1 (BLIMP1)/PR domain-containing protein 1 (PRDM1) are crucial pathological deviations in DLBCL. Translational evidence indicates that during the breastfeeding period, human MDE miRs support B cell proliferation via epigenetic upregulation of BCL6 (via miR-148a-3p-mediated suppression of DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) and miR-155-5p/miR-29b-5p-mediated suppression of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AICDA) and suppression of BLIMP1 (via MDE let-7-5p/miR-125b-5p-targeting of PRDM1). After weaning with the physiological termination of MDE miR signaling, the infant’s BCL6 expression and B cell proliferation declines, whereas BLIMP1-mediated B cell maturation for adequate own antibody production rises. Because human and bovine MDE miRs share identical nucleotide sequences, the consumption of pasteurized cow’s milk in adults with the continued transfer of bioactive bovine MDE miRs may de-differentiate B cells back to the neonatal “proliferation-dominated” B cell phenotype maintaining an increased BLC6/BLIMP1 ratio. Persistent milk-induced epigenetic dysregulation of BCL6 and BLIMP1 expression may thus represent a novel driving mechanism in B cell lymphomagenesis. Bovine MDEs and their miR cargo have to be considered potential pathogens that should be removed from the human food chain.

Abstract
Genomic instability and genetic mutations can lead to exhibition of several cancer hallmarks in affected cells such as sustained proliferative signaling, evasion of growth suppression, activated invasion, deregulation of cellular energetics, and avoidance of immune destruction. Similar biological changes have been observed to be a result of pathogenic viruses and, in some cases, have been linked to virus-induced cancers. Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs), once external pathogens, now occupy more than 8% of the human genome, representing the merge of genomic and external factors. In this review, we outline all reported effects of HERVs on cancer development and discuss the HERV targets most suitable for cancer treatments as well as ongoing clinical trials for HERV-targeting drugs. We reviewed all currently available reports of the effects of HERVs on human cancers including solid tumors, lymphomas, and leukemias. Our review highlights the central roles of HERV genes, such as gag, env, pol, np9, and rec in immune regulation, checkpoint blockade, cell differentiation, cell fusion, proliferation, metastasis, and cell transformation. In addition, we summarize the involvement of HERV long terminal repeat (LTR) regions in transcriptional regulation, creation of fusion proteins, expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and promotion of genome instability through recombination.

Abstract
Mature B-cell lymphomas, (B- or T-cell) lymphoblastic lymphomas (LBL), and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) correspond to about 90% of all non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) cases occurring in children and adolescents. The remaining 10% encompass a complex group of entities characterized by low/very low incidences, paucity of knowledge in terms of underlying biology in comparison to their adult counterparts, and consequent lack of standardization of care, information on clinical therapeutic efficacy and long-term survival. At the Seventh International Symposium on Childhood, Adolescent and Young Adult NHL, organized on October 20-23, 2022, in New York City, New York, US, we had the opportunity to discuss clinical, pathogenetic, diagnostic, and treatment aspects of certain subtypes of rare B- or T-cell NHL and they will be the topic of this review.

Abstract
Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas (PCBCLs) constitute a rare subset of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), with distinctive clinical and biological characteristics. The risk of autoimmune or neoplastic comorbidities in subjects with NHL has been extensively reported in the literature, but the data available are not directly applicable to PCBCLs. The aim of our study was to determine the frequency of relevant medical conditions, with a primary focus on autoimmune and neoplastic disorders, in subjects with PCBCL. We performed a retrospective observational study involving 56 patients diagnosed histologically with PCBCL and 54 sex- and age-matched controls. Our results show a statistically significant association for neoplastic comorbidities in general (41.1% vs. 22.2%, p = 0.034) and hematological malignancies specifically (19.6% vs. 1.9%, p = 0.0041) with PCBCL compared to controls. We did not highlight a statistically significant difference in the frequency of autoimmune comorbidities (21.4% vs. 9.3%, p = 0.1128) and of chronic viral hepatitis (7.1% vs. 0, p = 0.1184). Finally, type 2 diabetes (19.6% vs. 1.9%, p = 0.0041) was significantly associated with PCBCL. Our preliminary data supporting the association between PCBCLs and neoplastic disorders suggest that altered immune surveillance may be a common predisposing mechanism.

Abstract
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common form of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) with significant morbidity and mortality despite advancements in treatment. Lymphoma and autoimmune disease both result from breakdowns in normal cell regulatory pathways, and epidemiological studies have confirmed both that B-NHL is more likely to develop in the setting of autoimmune diseases and vice versa. Red cell immunity, as evidenced by direct antiglobulin test (DAT) positivity, has been linked to DLBCL and more recently the pathogenic causes of this association have begun to be better understood using molecular techniques. This project aimed to explore the relationship between red cell autoimmunity and DLBCL. DAT positivity was more common in DLBCL as compared to healthy controls (20.4% vs 3.7%, p=0.0005). Univariate analysis found a non-significant trend towards poorer overall survival in the DAT positive (DAT+) compared to the DAT negative (DAT-) groups (p=0.087). High throughput sequencing was used to compare mutations in DLBCL from DAT+ and DAT- patients. The most frequently mutated genes in 15 patient samples were KMT2D (n=13), MYOM2 (n=9), EP300 (n=8), SPEN (n=7), and ADAMTSL3 (n=7), which were mutated in both DAT+ and DAT- groups. BIRC3 (n=3), FOXO1 (n=3) and CARD11 (n=2) were found to be mutated only in samples from the DAT+ group. These gene mutations may be involved in disease development and progression, and potentially represent targets for future therapy. The immunoglobulin genotype IGHV4-34 is seen more frequently in DLBCL clones than in normal B cells and has intrinsic autoreactivity to self-antigens on red cells, which is largely mediated by two motifs within the first framework region (FR1); Q6W7 and A24V25Y.26 These motifs form a hydrophobic patch which determines red cell antigen binding and are frequently mutated away from self-reactivity in normal B cells. If this does not occur this may provide constant B cell receptor signalling which encourages lymphoma development, a theory known as antigen driven lymphomagenesis. As with previous studies, IGHV4-34 was over-represented (15.6%) in our DLBCL cohort. Furthermore, of 6 IGHV4-34-expressing DLBCL samples five had unmutated hydrophobic patch mutations providing further evidence for antigen-driven lymphomagenesis. Mutation analysis of these five samples demonstrated high frequency of mutations in several genes, including CREBBP and NCOR2. Further research could explore if mutations in CREBBP and NCOR2 work in conjunction with the preserved QW and AVY motifs to promote lymphomagenesis in IGHV4-34-expressing B cells, and if so, could guide future targeted therapy.

Abstract
A 53-year-old man who had a history of ulcerative colitis (UC) for 2 years underwent colonoscopy as regular follow-up. The results showed an elevated lesion in the descending colon, which was diagnosed as plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) based on pathological findings. In situ hybridization for the Epstein-Barr virus-encoded RNA probe was positive. Fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed rearrangement of the MYC gene. He had been taking prednisolone, 5-aminosalicylic acid, azathiopurine, and ustekinumab at the diagnosis of PBL and had multiple prior therapies for UC including infliximab, tacrolimus, and tofacitinib due to steroid dependence. PBL is a rare aggressive B cell lymphoma initially described in the oral cavity of human immunodeficiency virus positive patients and it is suspected to have an association with immunocompromised status of patients. The number of cases of PBL in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients is extremely rare. All these patients were administered immunosuppressive therapy including thiopurines or biologics. IBD patients with immunosuppressive therapy have a higher potential for developing lymphoproliferative disorders. Clinicians should be aware of the risk of lymphoma, including PBL.

Abstract
The sequential progression from chronic liver disease to cirrhosis may be a risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development. Although HCC originates from hepatitis B virus- or hepatitis C virus-associated liver cirrhosis, it has recently been reported in patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with advanced fibrosis. However, little is known about the pathophysiological mechanisms linking HCC to rheumatic disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Herein, we describe the case of HCC with NASH complicated by RA and Sjögren's syndrome (SS). A fifty-two-year-old patient with RA and diabetes was referred to our hospital for further examination of a liver tumor. She received methotrexate (4 mg/week) for 3 years and adalimumab (40 mg/biweekly) for 2 years. On admission, laboratory data showed mild thrombocytopenia and hypoalbuminemia, with normal hepatitis virus markers or liver enzymes. Anti-nuclear antibodies were positive with high titers (x640), and anti-SS-A/Ro (187.0 U/ml; normal range [NR]: ≤6.9 U/mL) and anti-SS-B/La (320 U/ml; NR: ≤6.9 U/mL) antibodies were also high. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed liver cirrhosis and a tumor in the left lobe (S4) of the liver. She was diagnosed with HCC based on imaging findings, and elevated levels of protein induced by vitamin K absence- II (PIVKA-II) were detected. She underwent laparoscopic partial hepatectomy, and histopathological examination revealed steatohepatitis HCC with background liver cirrhosis. The patient was discharged on the 8th day post-operation without any complications. At the 30 months follow-up, no significant evidence of recurrence was observed. Our case suggests that clinical screening for HCC is needed in patients with RA who are at a high risk of NASH, as they may progress to HCC even without elevated liver enzymes.

Abstract
Marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) of the breast with amyloid deposits is a very rare cause of breast malignancy. Patients who carry a diagnosis of Sjogren's syndrome (SS) have a 5-10% lifetime risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma with MALT lymphoma as the most common histologic subtype. Our case highlights the importance of routine screening mammography in the early detection of such unusual malignancies, and further interventions needed to diagnose and appropriately manage breast MALT lymphoma.

Abstract
It is well established that the male sex is associated with increased risk for, as well as poorer survival of, most cancers. A similar pattern has been described in lymphomas but has not yet been comprehensively assessed. In this nationwide population-based cohort study, we used the Swedish Lymphoma Register to investigate sex differences in lymphoma subtype incidence and excess mortality in adults (age 18-99) diagnosed in 2000-2019. Male-to-female incidence rate ratios (IRRs) and excess mortality ratios (EMRs) adjusted for age and calendar year were predicted using Poisson regression. We identified 36 795 lymphoma cases, 20 738 (56.4%) in men and 16 057 (43.6%) in women. Men were at significantly higher risk of 14 out of 16 lymphoma subtypes with IRRs ranging from 1.15 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.09-1.22) in follicular lymphoma to 5.95 (95% CI 4.89-7.24) in hairy cell leukemia. EMRs >1 were seen in 13 out of 16 lymphoma subtypes indicating higher mortality in men, although only statistically significant for classical Hodgkin lymphoma 1.26 (95% CI 1.04-1.54), aggressive lymphoma not otherwise specified 1.29 (95% CI 1.08-1.55), and small lymphocytic lymphoma 1.52 (95% CI 1.11-2.07). A corresponding analysis using data from the Danish Lymphoma Register was performed with comparable results. In conclusion, we demonstrate a significantly higher incidence and trend toward higher mortality in men for most lymphoma subtypes. Future studies with large patient material that include detailed clinicopathological prognostic factors are warranted to further delineate and explain sex differences in lymphoma survival to enable optimal management of lymphoma patients regardless of sex.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize 414 patients with primary SS who developed haematological malignancies and to analyse how the main SS- and lymphoma-related features can modify the presentation patterns and outcomes. METHODS By January 2021, the Big Data Sjögren Project Consortium database included 11 966 patients fulfilling the 2002/2016 classification criteria. Haematological malignancies diagnosed according to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification were retrospectively identified. RESULTS There were 414 patients (355 women, mean age 57 years) with haematological malignancies (in 43, malignancy preceded at least one year the SS diagnosis). A total of 376 (91%) patients had mature B-cell malignancy, nearly half had extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) (n = 197), followed by diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (n = 67), nodal MZL lymphoma (n = 29), chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) (n = 19) and follicular lymphoma (FL) (n = 17). Rates of complete response, relapses and death were 80%, 34% and 13%, respectively, with a 5-year survival rate of 86.5% after a mean follow-up of 8 years. There were significant differences in age at diagnosis (younger in MALT, older in CLL/SLL), predominant clinical presentation (glandular enlargement in MALT lymphoma, peripheral lymphadenopathy in nodal MZL and FL, constitutional symptoms in DLBCL, incidental diagnosis in CLL/SLL), therapeutic response (higher in MALT lymphoma, lower in DLBCL) and survival (better in MALT, nodal MZL and FL, worse in DLBCL). CONCLUSION In the largest reported study of haematological malignancies complicating primary SS, we confirm the overwhelming predominance of B-cell lymphomas, especially MALT, with the salivary glands being the primary site of involvement. This highly-specific histopathological scenario is linked with the overall good prognosis with a 5-year survival rate of nearly 90%.

Intracellular osteopontin protects from autoimmunity-driven lymphoma development inhibiting TLR9-MYD88-STAT3 signaling. Mol Cancer 2022; 21:215. [PMID: 36503430 PMCID: PMC9743519 DOI: 10.1186/s12943-022-01687-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2022] [Accepted: 11/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Autoimmune disorders, including Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), are associated with increased incidence of hematological malignancies. The matricellular protein osteopontin (OPN) has been linked to SLE pathogenesis, as SLE patients show increased serum levels of OPN and often polymorphisms in its gene. Although widely studied for its pro-tumorigenic role in different solid tumours, the role of OPN in autoimmunity-driven lymphomagenesis has not been investigated yet. METHODS To test the role of OPN in the SLE-associated lymphomagenesis, the SLE-like prone Faslpr/lpr mutation was transferred onto an OPN-deficient background. Spleen from Faslpr/lpr and OPN-/-Faslpr/lpr mice, as well as purified B cells, were analysed by histopathology, flow cytometry, Western Blot, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence and gene expression profile to define lymphoma characteristics and investigate the molecular mechanisms behind the observed phenotype. OPN cellular localization in primary splenic B cells and mouse and human DLBCL cell lines was assessed by confocal microscopy. Finally, gain of function experiments, by stable over-expression of the secreted (sOPN) and intracellular OPN (iOPN) in OPN-/-Faslpr/lpr -derived DLBCL cell lines, were performed for further validation experiments. RESULTS Despite reduced autoimmunity signs, OPN-/-Faslpr/lpr mice developed splenic lymphomas with higher incidence than Faslpr/lpr counterparts. In situ and ex vivo analysis featured such tumours as activated type of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (ABC-DLBCL), expressing BCL2 and c-MYC, but not BCL6, with activated STAT3 signaling. OPN-/-Faslpr/lpr B lymphocytes showed an enhanced TLR9-MYD88 signaling pathway, either at baseline or after stimulation with CpG oligonucleotides, which mimic dsDNA circulating in autoimmune conditions. B cells from Faslpr/lpr mice were found to express the intracellular form of OPN. Accordingly, gene transfer-mediated re-expression of iOPN, but not of its secreted isoform, into ABC-DLBCL cell lines established from OPN-/-Faslpr/lpr mice, prevented CpG-mediated activation of STAT3, suggesting that the intracellular form of OPN may represent a brake to TLR9 signaling pathway activation. CONCLUSION These data indicate that, in the setting of SLE-like syndrome in which double strand-DNA chronically circulates and activates TLRs, B cell intracellular OPN exerts a protective role in autoimmunity-driven DLBCL development, mainly acting as a brake in the TLR9-MYD88-STAT3 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) contributes to significant cancer burden and mortality globally. In recent years, much insight into the causes of NHL has been gained by evaluating global differences through international collaboration and data pooling. NHL comprises different subtypes that are known to behave differently, exhibit different prognoses, and start in distinct cell types (B-cell, T-cell, and NK-cell, predominantly), and there is increasing evidence that NHL subtypes have different etiologies. Classification of NHL can be complex, with varying subtype frequencies, and is a consideration when evaluating geographic differences. Because of this, international pooling of well-executed epidemiologic studies has conferred power to evaluate NHL by subtype and confidence with minimal misclassification. Given the decreasing burden in some regions while cases rise in Asia, and especially China, this report focuses on a review of the established etiology of NHL from the epidemiologic literature in recent decades, highlighting work from China. Topics covered include demographic patterns and genetic determinants including family history of NHL, as well as infection and immunosuppression, lifestyle, environment, and certain occupational exposures contributing to increased disease risk.

Efficacy of Surgery in Patients with Stage I Primary Parotid Gland Lymphoma: A Population-Based Study. JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY 2022; 2022:4977600.

Abstract
Background. Limited and controversial evidence is available on the efficacy of surgery for patients with stage I primary parotid gland lymphoma. Thus, we aimed to investigate whether surgery can enhance the prognosis of patients with stage I primary parotid gland lymphoma using large sample data. Methods. From 1998 to 2015, we searched the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program database and extracted information regarding patients with stage I primary parotid gland lymphoma; we classified these patients into surgery and nonsurgery groups. We calculated overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) using Kaplan–Meier curves and log-rank testing. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was also used to further account for confounding variables before comparing the OS and CSS again. We used the COX proportional hazard regression model in both multivariate and univariate analyses. Results. We enrolled 918 patients with stage I primary parotid gland lymphoma, among which 656 (71.5%) patients underwent surgery. Before PSM, the surgery group had better OS (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.673, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.519–0.873, and
) and CSS (HR = 0.595, 95% CI: 0.403–0.879, and
) than the nonsurgery group. After PSM, surgery was still a beneficial factor for OS (HR = 0.569, 95% CI: 0.399–0.810, and
) and CSS (HR = 0.384, 95% CI: 0.220–0.669, and
). Furthermore, in univariate and multivariate analyses, total parotidectomy significantly increased OS (
and
, respectively) and CSS (
and
, respectively). Conclusions. In summary, the prognosis of patients with stage I primary parotid gland lymphoma can be significantly improved by surgery. Moreover, total parotidectomy was a protective factor for OS and CSS before and after PSM analysis, suggesting that surgery acts as a significant component in multimodal therapy for early primary parotid gland lymphoma.

Association between Meat, Fish, and Fatty Acid Intake and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Incidence: The Japan Public Health Center-Based Prospective Study. J Nutr 2022; 152:1895-1906. [PMID: 35675313 DOI: 10.1093/jn/nxac122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2021] [Revised: 03/17/2022] [Accepted: 06/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Meat, fish, and fatty acid intakes have been reported to be associated with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), although results have been inconclusive. We hypothesized that red meat and SFA intakes increase NHL risk, and fish and PUFA intakes decrease NHL risk. OBJECTIVES We investigated the association between NHL incidence and meat, fish, and various fatty acid type intakes using the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study. METHODS The current cohort study included 93,366 participants aged 45-74 y who were eligible for analysis; they were followed up until December 2012. Participants answered an FFQ between 1995 and 1999. We analyzed the effects of meat, fish, total fatty acid, SFA, and PUFA intakes on NHL incidence using the Cox proportional hazard model. RESULTS The median age was 57 y (IQR: 51-63 y), and 46.5% of the participants were men. Participants were followed up for 1,345,001 person-years, and 230 patients with NHL were identified. Total fatty acid and SFA intakes were associated with an increased incidence of NHL, with an adjusted HR of 1.56 (95% CI: 1.04, 2.34 highest compared with lowest quartile; P-trend = 0.062), and 1.63 (95% CI: 1.11, 2.41; P-trend = 0.074), respectively. In subtype analysis, total fatty acid and SFA intakes were also associated with increased incidence of follicular lymphoma but were not significantly associated with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Conversely, total meat, processed meat, unprocessed meat, red meat, poultry, fish, MUFA, PUFA, n-3 (ω-3) PUFA, and n-6 (ω-6) PUFA intakes were not significantly associated with the incidence of NHL or its subtypes. CONCLUSIONS Total fatty acid and SFA intakes were associated with increased incidence of NHL in the Japanese adult population. Further large-scale studies are warranted to test whether fatty acid intakes affect the development of NHL.

Solitary Extramedullary Plasmacytoma of the Larynx and Secondary Laryngeal Involvement in Plasma Cell Myeloma: Single-Centre Retrospective Analysis and Systematic Literature Review. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11154390. [PMID: 35956004 PMCID: PMC9369432 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11154390] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2022] [Revised: 07/19/2022] [Accepted: 07/20/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
The involvement of the larynx in plasma cell myeloma (PCM) may manifest as solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma of the larynx (sEMP-L) or as infiltration of the larynx during newly diagnosed or relapsed systemic disease with bone marrow involvement (plasma cell myeloma with laryngeal involvement, PCM-L). To increase knowledge about these rare conditions, we performed a retrospective analysis along with a comprehensive literature review of cases of sEMP-L or PCM-L. Six patients (two sEMP-L and four PCM-L) were identified in our tertiary laryngological centre from 2009 to 2021, constituting 0.88% of all malignant laryngeal tumours. The literature search yielded 187 cases, including 152 sEMP-L and 35 sPCM-L. A comparison of baseline characteristics between sEMP-L and PCM-L performed in the combined cohort of cases from literature review and retrospective analysis revealed that patients with sEMP-L were younger (56 vs. 64 years, p ≤ 0.001) and presented less commonly with thyroid or cricoid cartilage involvement (2.2% vs. 30.8%, p ≤ 0.001). The prognosis of sEMP-L was better than PCM-L (overall survival 86% vs. 55% at 5 years, p = 0.002). Analysis of potential factors that could influence progression-free survival (PFS) in the group of sEMP-L revealed that male sex and cartilage involvement negatively affected PFS in univariate analyses, while only cartilage involvement retained statistical significance in multivariate analysis (HR = 19.94, p = 0.024). In conclusion, PCM with laryngeal involvement is sporadic. Secondary involvement of the larynx during PCM might be more common than sEMP-L and is associated with worse survival. The involvement of cartilage adversely influences the outcome of sEMP-L.

J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11154272. [PMID: 35893361 PMCID: PMC9332163 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11154272] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2022] [Revised: 07/08/2022] [Accepted: 07/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate cancer risk among individuals with connective tissue disease (CTD) in Friuli Venezia Giulia, northern Italy. Methods: A population-based cohort study was conducted based on data from health records available in the regional healthcare database. Demographic characteristics, hospital discharges, exemption from medical charges, drug prescriptions, were individually matched with data from the population-based cancer registry. Cancer risk was assessed in people diagnosed with the following diseases: systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Sjögren’s syndrome (SS), systemic sclerosis (SSc), polymyositis (PM), and dermatomyositis (DM). Results: In all, 2504 patients were followed for a total of 18,006 person-years (median follow-up: 6.8 years). After 5 and 10 years of follow-up, the cumulative cancer incidence was 2.6% and 8.5%, respectively. The most common cancers were breast (n = 34), lung (n = 24), colon–rectum–anus (n = 20), and non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) (n = 20). Overall, no excess cancer risk was noted (SIR = 0.87), whereas the number of observed NHL cases was more than two-fold significantly higher than expected (SIR = 2.52). The subgroup analysis showed a higher risk of NHL among SS patients (SIR = 3.84) and SLE patients (SIR = 2.69). Conversely, the study population showed a decreased risk for breast cancers (SIR = 0.61) and corpus uteri (SIR = 0.21). Conclusions: The incidence of NHL was higher among patients with SS and SLE. Careful surveillance for hematological malignancies in these patients is recommended.

Environmental risk factors for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: umbrella review and comparison of meta-analyses of summary and individual participant data. BMJ MEDICINE 2022; 1:e000184. [PMID: 36936582 PMCID: PMC9978687 DOI: 10.1136/bmjmed-2022-000184] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2022] [Accepted: 05/31/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Objectives To summarise the range, strength, and validity of reported associations between environmental risk factors and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and to evaluate the concordance between associations reported in meta-analyses of summary level data and meta-analyses of individual participant data. Design Umbrella review and comparison of meta-analyses of summary and individual participant level data. Data sources Medline, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science Core Collection, Cochrane Library, and Epistemonikos, from inception to 23 July 2021. Eligibility criteria for selecting studies English language meta-analyses of summary level data and of individual participant data evaluating associations between environmental risk factors and incident non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (overall and subtypes). Data extraction and synthesis Summary effect estimates from meta-analyses of summary level data comparing ever versus never exposure that were adjusted for the largest number of potential confounders were re-estimated using a random effects model and classified as presenting evidence that was non-significant, weak (P<0.05), suggestive (P<0.001 and >1000 cases), highly suggestive (P<0.000001, >1000 cases, largest study reporting a significant association), or convincing (P<0.000001, >1000 cases, largest study reporting a significant association, I2 <50%, 95% prediction interval excluding the null value, and no evidence of small study effects and excess significance bias) evidence. When the same exposures, exposure contrast levels, and outcomes were evaluated in meta-analyses of summary level data and meta-analyses of individual participant data from the International Lymphoma Epidemiology (InterLymph) Consortium, concordance in terms of direction, level of significance, and overlap of 95% confidence intervals was examined. Methodological quality of the meta-analyses of summary level data was assessed by the AMSTAR 2 tool. Results We identified 85 meta-analyses of summary level data reporting 257 associations for 134 unique environmental risk factors and 10 subtypes of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma nearly all (79, 93%) were classified as having critically low quality. Most associations (225, 88%) presented either non-significant or weak evidence. The 11 (4%) associations presenting highly suggestive evidence were primarily for autoimmune or infectious disease related risk factors. Only one association, between history of coeliac disease and risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, presented convincing evidence. Of 40 associations reported in meta-analyses of summary level data that were also evaluated in InterLymph meta-analyses of individual participant data, 22 (55%) pairs were in the same direction, had the same level of statistical significance, and had overlapping 95% confidence intervals; 28 (70%) pairs had summary effect sizes from the meta-analyses of individual participant data that were more conservative. Conclusion This umbrella review suggests evidence of many meta-analyses of summary level data reporting weak associations between environmental risk factors and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Improvements to primary studies as well as evidence synthesis in evaluations of evironmental risk factors and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are needed. Review registration number PROSPERO CRD42020178010.

Abstract
Some common clinical situations, such as splenomegaly or lymphocytosis, or less common, such as autoimmune hemolytic anemia, cold agglutinin disease, or cryoglobulinemia can lead to the diagnosis of splenic lymphoma. Splenic lymphoma is rare, mainly of non-hodgkinian origin, encompassing very different hematological entities in their clinical and biological presentation from an aggressive form such as hepato-splenic lymphoma to indolent B-cell lymphoma not requiring treatment such as marginal zone lymphoma, the most frequent form of splenic lymphoma. These entities can be challenging to diagnose and differentiate. This review presents different clinical and biological manifestations suspicious of splenic lymphoma and proposes a diagnosis work-up. We extended the strict definition of splenic lymphoma (lymphoma exclusively involving the spleen) to lymphoma thant can be revealed by a splenomegaly and we discuss the differential diagnosis of splenomegaly.

Abstract
SYK and ZAP70 nonreceptor tyrosine kinases serve essential roles in initiating B-cell receptor (BCR) and T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling in B- and T-lymphocytes, respectively. Despite their structural and functional similarity, expression of SYK and ZAP70 is strictly separated during B- and T-lymphocyte development, the reason for which was not known. Aberrant co-expression of ZAP70 with SYK was first identified in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and is considered a biomarker of aggressive disease and poor clinical outcomes. We recently found that aberrant ZAP70 co-expression not only functions as an oncogenic driver in CLL but also in various other B-cell malignancies, including acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) and mantle cell lymphoma. Thereby, aberrantly expressed ZAP70 redirects SYK and BCR-downstream signaling from NFAT towards activation of the PI3K-pathway. In the sole presence of SYK, pathological BCR-signaling in autoreactive or premalignant cells induces NFAT-activation and NFAT-dependent anergy and negative selection. In contrast, negative selection of pathological B-cells is subverted when ZAP70 diverts SYK from activation of NFAT towards tonic PI3K-signaling, which promotes survival instead of cell death. We discuss here how both B-cell malignancies and autoimmune diseases frequently evolve to harness this mechanism, highlighting the importance of developmental separation of the two kinases as an essential safeguard.

Abstract
Background Observational studies suggested that systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) might be associated with increased cancer incidence and cancer-related death, however, the results are inconsistent. We aim to comprehensively estimate the causal relationships between SLE and cancer morbidity and mortality using a meta-analysis of cohort studies and Mendelian randomization. Methods A systematic search was conducted using PubMed to identify cohort studies published before January 21, 2021. Meta-analysis was performed to calculate relative risk (RR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI). In addition, we further evaluated the potentially causal relationships identified by cohort studies using two-sample Mendelian randomization. Results A total of 48 cohort studies involving 247,575 patients were included. We performed 31 main meta-analysis to assess the cancer risk and three meta-analyses to evaluate cancer mortality in SLE patients. Through meta-analyses, we observed an increased risk of overall cancer (RR=1.62, 95%CI, 1.47-1.79, P<0.001) and cancer-related death (RR=1.52, 95%CI, 1.36-1.70, P<0.001) in patients with SLE. Subgroup analysis by site-specific cancer showed that SLE was a risk factor for 17 site-specific cancers, including six digestive cancers (esophagus, colon, anus, hepatobiliary, liver, pancreatic), five hematologic cancers (lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, leukemia, multiple myeloma), as well as cancer in lung, larynx, cervical, vagina/vulva, renal, bladder, skin, and thyroid. In addition, further mendelian randomization analysis verified a weakly association between genetically predisposed SLE and lymphoma risk (odds ratio=1.0004, P=0.0035). Conclusions Findings from our study suggest an important role of SLE in carcinogenesis, especially for lymphoma. Systematic Review Registration https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/, CRD42021243635.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association of Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and lymphoma is similar. Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) or extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma was the most common lymphomatous histology in SS patients. MALT in SS patients is frequently located in the parotid gland, while MALT lymphoma of the skin with SS is an exceedingly rare entity that needs to be recognized.
CASE SUMMARY A 60-year-old woman presented with a 3-year history of progressive dry mouth associated with a 1-year history of enlarging cutaneous nodules. Physical examination revealed two hard subcutaneous nodules on her right lower leg. The results of Schirmer’s test were positive, despite the absence of dry eyes. Labial salivary gland biopsy revealed lymphocytic infiltration and chronic inflammation with a focus score of 2. The patient was diagnosed with SS. She underwent resection of one cutaneous nodule, and histopathological analysis identified the nodule as MALT lymphoma. Her dry mouth symptoms improved, and the nodules decreased after 6 mo of treatment with hydroxychloroquine sulfate and chemotherapy (thalidomide, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone).
CONCLUSION Lymphoma is a severe complication of SS, shown by the reported unique case of cutaneous MALT lymphoma with SS.
