Stasik K, Filip R. The Complex Relationship between Mechanisms Underlying Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Its Treatment, and the Risk of Lymphomas: A Comprehensive Review. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:4241. [PMID: 38673824 PMCID: PMC11049907 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25084241] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2024] [Revised: 04/06/2024] [Accepted: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
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.

Cancer Med 2024; 13:e7064. [PMID: 38457256 PMCID: PMC10923045 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.7064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2023] [Revised: 12/26/2023] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 03/10/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy was approved as a very effective salvage strategy in relapsed/refractory (R/R) B cell lymphoma, the experience in R/R gastrointestinal (GI) lymphoma is still insufficient. METHODS We summarized the efficacy and side effects of anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy in 12 patients with R/R GI lymphoma. Based on literature, the R/R GI lymphoma patients were divided into subgroups with different characteristics: Bulky/No bulky disease, Gastric/Gastrointestinal involvement, Gastrointestinal/Combined extra-gastrointestinal lesions, Ulcer/Lumps or nodules type, With/without gastrointestinal bleeding. RESULTS The objective response rate (ORR) was 66.67% in these 12 patients. The ORR was 83.33% in no bulky disease group, 80.00% in gastric involvement group, 100.00% in ulcer type group, and 80.00% in no gastrointestinal bleeding group. The CR rate was 33.33% in these 12 patients. The CR was 50.0% in no bulky disease group, 60.00% in gastric involvement group, and 80.00% in ulcer type group. The PFS and OS rate of the 12 patients at 6 months after infusion were 54.55% and 58.33%, respectively. The overall survival (OS) at 6 months was higher in no bulky disease group. There was no difference of the OS or the progression free survival (PFS) at 6 months between the other groups. The mean peak of CAR-T cells and Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) grade were higher in gastrointestinal lesions group. The mean peak of IFN-γ and CRS grade were higher in gastrointestinal bleeding group. Four out of six patients in group of gastrointestinal lesions group were patient with high tumor burden. Patients with gastrointestinal involvement only were at higher risk for gastrointestinal bleeding. CONCLUSIONS The ORR and CR of high tumor load, gastrointestinal involvement, lumps or nodules type and gastrointestinal bleeding group were lower. The CRS grade was higher in gastrointestinal lesions group and in gastrointestinal bleeding group. Patients with gastrointestinal involvement only were at higher risk for gastrointestinal bleeding.

Tissue Eng Regen Med 2023; 20:1145-1159. [PMID: 37801226 PMCID: PMC10645944 DOI: 10.1007/s13770-023-00585-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2023] [Revised: 08/06/2023] [Accepted: 08/11/2023] [Indexed: 10/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to explore the potential mechanism of action of the newly discovered hsa_circ_0128899 (circSPEF2) in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). METHODS circSPEF2, miR-16-5p and BTB and CNC homologue 2 (BACH2) expression patterns in DLBCL patients and cell lines were studied by RT-qPCR. The biological function of circSPEF2 in vitro and in vivo was investigated by function acquisition experiments. The proliferation activity of lymphoma cells was detected by MTT. Bax, Caspase-3, and Bcl-2 were determined by Western Blot. Apoptosis and the ratio of CD4 to Treg of immune cells in the co-culture system were analyzed by flow cytometry. The mechanism of action of circSPEF2 in DLBCL progression was further investigated by RIP and dual luciferase reporter experiments. RESULTS circSPEF2 was a circRNA with abnormally down-regulated expression in DLBCL. Increasing circSPEF2 expression inhibited the proliferative activity and induced apoptosis of lymphoma cells in vitro and in vivo, as well as increased CD4+T cells and decreased Treg cell proportion of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment. Mechanically, circSPEF2 was bound to miR-16-5p expression, while BACH2 was targeted by miR-16-5p. circSPEF2 overexpression-mediated effects on lymphoma progression were reversible by upregulating miR-16-5p or downregulating BACH2. CONCLUSIONS circSPEF2 can influence DLBCL progression by managing cellular proliferation and apoptosis and the proportion of immune cells Treg and CD4 through the miR-16-5p/BACH2 axis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyse the clinical characteristics and therapeutic response of Chinese patients with primary extranodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma DLBCL (PE-DLBCL). METHODS We analysed the clinical features and outcomes of 197 patients who were newly diagnosed with PE-DLBCL between January 2015 and December 2020. RESULTS The gastrointestinal tract showed the highest rate of involvement (34%), followed by the central nervous system (CNS) and intraocular system (31.5%). The 3-year overall survival (OS) rate was 81% for the entire group and 79% for those with CNS and vitreoretinal involvement. Ann Arbour stage, lactate dehydrogenase level, International Prognostic Index > 2, and complete remission (CR) were significantly related to the survival of patients with PE-DLBCL. The lack of CR was the only independent adverse prognostic factor for OS. CONCLUSION The clinical outcomes of patients with PE-DLBCL at our centre were encouraging, especially for patients with CNS and vitreoretinal involvement.

Whole-exome sequencing analysis identifies distinct mutational profile and novel prognostic biomarkers in primary gastrointestinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Exp Hematol Oncol 2022; 11:71. [PMID: 36243813 PMCID: PMC9569083 DOI: 10.1186/s40164-022-00325-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2022] [Accepted: 09/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and about 10% of DLBCL cases primarily occur in the gastrointestinal tract. Previous reports have revealed that primary gastrointestinal-DLBCL (pGI-DLBCL) harbors different genetic mutations from other nodal or extranodal DLBCL. However, the exonic mutation profile of pGI-DLBCL has not been fully addressed. Methods We performed whole-exome sequencing of matched tumor tissues and blood samples from 53 pGI-DLBCL patients. The exonic mutation profiles were screened, and the correlations between genetic mutations and clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed. Results A total of 6,588 protein-altering events were found and the five most frequent mutated genes in our pGI-DLBCL cohort were IGLL5 (47%), TP53 (42%), BTG2 (28%), P2RY8 (26%) and PCLO (23%). Compared to the common DLBCL, significantly less or absence of MYD88 (0%), EZH2 (0%), BCL2 (2%) or CD79B (8%) mutations were identified in pGI-DLBCL. The recurrent potential driver genes were mainly enriched in pathways related to signal transduction, infectious disease and immune regulation. In addition, HBV infection had an impact on the mutational signature in pGI-DLBCL, as positive HBsAg was significantly associated with the TP53 and LRP1B mutations, two established tumor suppressor genes in many human cancers. Moreover, IGLL5 and LRP1B mutations were significantly correlated with patient overall survival and could serve as two novel prognostic biomarkers in pGI-DLBCL. Conclusions Our study provides a comprehensive view of the exonic mutation profile of the largest pGI-DLBCL cohort to date. The results could facilitate the clinical development of novel therapeutic and prognostic biomarkers for pGI-DLBCL.

Abstract
Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common pathological subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and is the most common type of adult lymphoma. Due to the poor prognosis of relapsed/refractory DLBCL, new drug targets and therapeutic methods are urgently needed. We investigated the expression of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activating protein zeta (14-3-3ζ or YWHAZ) in patients with DLBCL. The purpose was to verify the expression levels of YWHAZ and PD-L1 and their relationships with the prognosis of DLBCL and to lay a foundation for further study on the role of YWHAZ and PD-L1 in DLBCL. Immunohistochemistry was used in 140 patients with DLBCL to test protein expression levels of YWHAZ and PD-L1. All patients were followed up in the hospital or by telephone or via WeChat. The positive expression rate of YWHAZ was 62.14% (87/140). The expression was negatively correlated with the positive expression of BAD (r = −0.177, P = 0.036) and positively correlated with the positive expression of BCL-2 (r = 0.180, P = 0.033). When the cut-off value for PD-L1 was established at 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%, the corresponding positive expression rates of PD-L1 were 79.66% (94/118), 51.69% (61/118), 40.68% (48/118), and 36.44% (43/118). YWHAZ significantly affected the OS of DLBCL (P ≤ 0.001). The prognosis of the patients was related to the positive expression of PD-L1 when the cut-off value of PD-L1 was 5% (P = 0.033). However, positive expression of PD-L1 was not associated with the prognosis when the cut-off values of PD-L1 were 10% (P = 0.404), 15% (P = 0.208), and 20% (P = 0.408). The positive expression of YWHAZ (hazard ratio 6.215; 95% confidence interval 3.214-12.017; P < 0.05) was an independent adverse prognostic factor for OS. YWHAZ may be an important oncogene in the occurrence and development of DLBCL and may be used as a therapeutic target. PD-L1 may be an oncogene or tumor suppressor gene in the occurrence and development of DLBCL. Different cut-off values of PD-L1 may affect the prognosis of DLBCL.

Abstract
Background Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is a rare hematological tumor that presents with extramedullary tumor masses comprising myeloid blasts. A controversial issue is whether MS involving normal hematopoietic sites (liver, spleen, and lymph nodes) should be excluded in future studies. We aimed to compare MS characteristics and outcomes involving hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic sites and construct a prognostic nomogram exclusively for the latter. Methods Data from patients diagnosed with MS between 2000 and 2018 were collected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. According to the primary site, patients were classified as having MS involving hematopoietic sites (hMS) or non-hematopoietic sites (eMS). Clinical characteristics and survival outcomes were compared between the two groups using Wilcoxon, chi-square, and log-rank tests. Cox regression analysis was used to identify eMS prognostic factors to establish prognostic nomograms. The models’ efficiency and value were assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results In total, 694 patients were enrolled, including 86 with hMS and 608 with eMS. There were no sex, race or marital status distribution differences between the two groups. Patients with eMS had better overall and cancer-specific survival rates than those with hMS. Additionally, prognostic factor effects differed between the two groups. Patients with eMS were randomly divided into the training (number of patiens, n=425) and validation cohorts (n=183). Age, first primary tumor, primary site, and chemotherapy were used to establish nomograms. The C-index values of overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) nomograms were 0.733 (validation: 0.728) and 0.722 (validation: 0.717), respectively. Moreover, ROC, calibration curves, and DCA confirmed our models’ good discrimination and calibration ability and potential clinical utility value. Conclusion Our study described the differences between patients with eMS and those with hMS. Moreover, we developed novel nomograms based on clinical and therapeutic factors to predict patients with eMS’ 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates.

Abstract
Background Primary gastric lymphoma (PGL) is the most common extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Due to the rarity of the disease, it is important to create a predictive model that provides treatment and prognosis for patients with PGL and physicians. Methods A total of 8898 and 127 patients diagnosed with PGL were obtained from the SEER database and from our Cancer Center as training and validation cohorts, respectively. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to investigate independent risk factors for the construction of predictive survival nomograms, and a web nomogram was developed for the dynamic prediction of survival of patients with PGL. The concordance index (C-index), calibration plot, and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve were used to evaluate and validate the nomogram models. Results There were 8898 PGL patients in the SEER cohort, most of whom were married men over the age of 60, 16.1% of the primary tumors were localized in the antrum and pylori of the stomach, which was similar to the composition of 127 patients in the Chinese cohort, making both groups comparable. The Nomogram of overall survival (OS) was compiled based on eight variables, including age at diagnosis, sex, race, marital status, histology, stage, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Cancer-specific survival (CSS) nomogram was developed with eight variables, including age at diagnosis, sex, marital status, primary tumor site, histology, stage, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The C-index of OS prediction nomogram was 0.948 (95% CI: 0.901–0.995) in the validation cohort, the calibration plots showed an optimal match and a high area below the ROC curve (AUC) was observed in both training and validation sets. Also, we established the first web-based PGL survival rate calculator (https://yangjinru.shinyapps.io/DynNomapp/). Conclusion The web dynamic nomogram provided an insightful and applicable tool for evaluating PGL prognosis in OS and CSS, and can effectively guide individual treatment and monitoring.

A Novel Defined Super-Enhancer Associated Gene Signature to Predict Prognosis in Patients With Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. Front Genet 2022; 13:827840. [PMID: 35774514 PMCID: PMC9237400 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2022.827840] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2021] [Accepted: 05/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a genetically heterogeneous disease that can have profound differences in survival outcomes. A variety of powerful prognostic factors and models have been constructed; however, the development of more accurate prognosis prediction and targeted treatment for DLBCL still faces challenges. An explosion of research on super-enhancer (SE)–associated genes provide the possibility to use in prognostication for cancer patients. Here, we aimed to establish a novel effective prognostic model using SE-associated genes from DLBCL. Methods: A total of 1,105 DLBCL patients from the Gene Expression Omnibus database were included in this study and were divided into a training set and a validation set. A total of 11 SE-associated genes (BCL2, SPAG16, PXK, BTG1, LRRC37A2, EXT1, TGFBR2, ANKRD12, MYCBP2, PAX5, and MYC) were initially screened and identified by the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) penalized Cox regression, univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis. Finally, a risk score model based on these 11 genes was constructed. Results: Kaplan–Meier (K–M) curves showed that the low-risk group appeared to have better clinical survival outcomes. The excellent performance of the model was determined via time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. A nomogram based on the polygenic risk score was further established to promote reliable prognostic prediction. This study proposed that the SE-associated-gene risk signature can effectively predict the response to chemotherapy in DLBCL patients. Conclusion: A novel and reliable SE-associated-gene signature that can effectively classify DLBCL patients into high-risk and low-risk groups in terms of overall survival was developed, which may assist clinicians in the treatment of DLBCL.

[PMID: 35579082 PMCID: PMC9357607 DOI: 10.1111/cas.15402] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2022] [Revised: 05/07/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common lymphoid malignancy with a high relapse rate of up to 40%. The prognosis of the disease needs improvement and requires a understanding of its molecular mechanism. We investigated the mechanisms of DLBCL development and its sensitivity to chemotherapy by focusing on circPCBP2/miR‐33a/b/PD‐L1 axis. Human DLBCL specimens and cultured cancer cell lines were used. Features of circPCBP2 were systematically characterized through Sanger sequencing, Actinomycin D, RNase R treatment, and FISH. The expression levels of circPCBP2, miR‐33a/b, PD‐L1, stemness‐related markers, ERK/AKT and JAK2/STAT3 signaling were measured using qRT‐PCR, western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. Stemness of DLBCL cells was assessed through spheroid formation assay and flow cytometry. Cell viability and apoptosis upon cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) treatment were determined using MTT assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Interactions of circPCBP2‐miR‐33a/b and miR‐33a/b‐PD‐L1 were validated using dual luciferase activity assay and RNA‐RIP. Nude mouse xenograft model was used to assess the function of circPCBP2 in DLBCL growth in vivo. circPCBP2 was upregulated in human DLBCL specimens and cultured DLBCL cells while miR‐33a/b was reduced. Knockdown of circPCBP2 or miR‐33a/b overexpression inhibited the stemness of DLBCL cells and promoted cancer cell apoptosis upon CHOP treatment. circPCBP2 directly bound with miR‐33a/b while miR‐33a/b targeted PD‐L1 3’‐UTR. circPCBP2 disinhibited PD‐L1 signaling via sponging miR‐33a/b. miR‐33a/b inhibitor and activating PD‐L1 reversed the effects of circPCBP2 knockdown and miR‐33a/b mimics, respectively. circPBCP2 knockdown restrained DLBCL growth in vivo and potentiated the anti‐tumor effects of CHOP. In conclusion, circPCBP2 enhances DLBCL cell stemness but suppresses its sensitivity to CHOP via sponging miR‐33a/b to disinhibit PD‐L1 expression. circPCBP2/miR‐33a/b/PD‐L1 axis could serve as a diagnosis marker or therapeutic target for DLBCL.

Abstract
Objective The purpose of this study is to establish an accurate prognostic model based on important clinical parameters to predict the overall survival (OS) of elderly patients with primary gastrointestinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (EGI DLBCL). Methods The Cox regression analysis is based on data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Results A total of 1,783 EGI DLBCL cases were eligible for the study [median (interquartile range, IQR) age, 75 (68–82) years; 974 (54.63%) males], of which 1,248 were randomly assigned to the development cohort, while 535 were into the validation cohort. A more accurate and convenient dynamic prognostic nomogram based on age, stage, radiation, and chemotherapy was developed and validated, of which the predictive performance was superior to that of the Ann Arbor staging system [C-index:0.69 (95% CI:0.67–0.71) vs. 56 (95%CI:0.54–0.58); P < 0.001]. The 3- and 5-year AUC values of ROC curves for 3-year OS and 5-year OS in the development cohort and the validation cohort were were alll above 0.7. Conclusion We establish and validate a more accurate and convenient dynamic prognostic nomogram for patients with EGI DLBCL, which can provide evidence for individual treatment and follow-up.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Anorectal melanoma (AM) is a rare but aggressive tumour with limited information in the existing literature. This study aimed to assess the effect of surgical treatment for AM and predict the prognosis of affected patients. DESIGN A retrospective cohort study. SETTING Data of patients diagnosed with AM between 1975 and 2016 in the USA were collected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. PARTICIPANTS This study enrolled a total of 795 patients with AM from the SEER database and the validation cohort comprised 40 patients with AM enrolled from Chinese institutes. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Overall survival (OS) and AM-specific survival (AM-SS). RESULTS A total of 795 patients with AM diagnosed between 1975 and 2016 were enrolled in this study. Data over the past four decades showed a trend of increase in incidence rate. A nomogram based on a multivariate Cox regression model was generated to predict AM-SS. The C-index of the nomogram was 0.74 (95% CI 0.71 to 0.77) on internal verification. In the validation cohort, the C-index of the nomogram was 0.72 (95% CI 0.68 to 0.76). The results of propensity score matching (PSM) analysis showed that patients who underwent surgical treatment achieved significant survival (OS: log-rank=17.41, p<0.001; AM-SS: log-rank=14.55, p<0.001). Patients who underwent surgery were stratified into local and extended surgery subgroups. AM-SS and OS were also compared after PSM, but the results were not significantly different between the two surgery subgroups (all p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS The nomogram based on the analysis of SEER data showed good performance in predicting OS and AM-SS. Patients with AM can benefit from surgery; however, extensive surgery and appendectomy may not improve AM-SS or OS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Primary Sjögren's Syndrome (pSS) carries the highest risk for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) development among systemic autoimmune diseases. However, the paucity of data on the long-term survival of those patients and the lack of established predictors for each lymphoma histologic subtype prompted our present study. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 121 patients diagnosed with NHL according to the WHO classification criteria. All patients fulfilled the 2016 ACR-EULAR classification criteria for pSS. Cumulative clinical, laboratory, radiologic, treatment regimens and histologic data were recorded, harmonized, and analyzed. Overall survival (OS) and event free survival (EFS) curves were calculated. A Mucosa Associated Lymphoid Tissue lymphoma (MALTL) prediction model was developed by applying innovative data driven analysis of clinical features present at the time of pSS diagnosis. RESULTS MALTLs constituted the majority of lymphomas (92/121, 76,0%) followed by Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphomas (DLBCL) (11/121, 9.0%) and Nodal Marginal Zone Lymphomas (NMZL) (8/121, 7%). MALTLs show salivary glands localization, limited disease and often bone marrow and nodal involvement. The 10-year OS and EFS rates were 79% and 45,5% for MALTLs, 40,9% and 24,2% for DLBCL and 46% and 31% for NMZL. Cryoglobulinemia, focus score and the total EULAR SS Disease Activity Index (ESSDAI) composite index at pSS diagnosis were proven independent MALTL predictors. Even though MALTLs have a comparatively good survival outlook, they are accompanied by frequent events throughout their clinical course. CONCLUSIONS Common features of pSS, present at diagnosis, can predict future lymphomagenesis meriting a more intensive follow up plan.

Abstract
Objective Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL). The aim of this study was to assess the clinico pathological characteristics of DLBCL specifically, among the affected individuals residing in Northern areas of Pakistan who had not been previously included in major lymphoma studies due to their remote location. Results Mean age of the patients was 49.7 years. Male: female ratio was 1.5:1. Primary site was lymph node in 99 (71.74%) patients, out of which, 36 (26.09%) patients had B symptoms and 19 (13.77%) patients had stage IV disease. 39 (28.26%) patients had primary extra nodal involvement, 4 (2.90%) patients had B symptoms and 3 (2.17%) had stage IV disease. Extra nodal sites involved in primary extra nodal DLBCL were gastrointestinal tract (GIT) 19 (48.72%), tonsils 6 (15.38%), spine 4 (10.26%), soft tissue swelling 3 (7.69%), parotid gland 2 (5.13%), thyroid 2 (5.13%) central nervous system (CNS) 1 (2.56), breast 1 (2.56%) and bone marrow 1 (2.56%). Our study revealed increased percentage of patients with nodal DLBCL in stage IV and with B symptoms. Few patients with primary extra nodal DLBCL had B symptoms and stage IV disease at presentation. GIT was the most common site of involvement in primary extra nodal DLBCL. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s13104-021-05768-5.

Abstract
Objective Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common histopathological type of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which may arise from various extranodal sites. Little is known about the clinical characteristics and survival outcomes of primary DLBCL of the urinary tract (UT). Thus, we conducted this study to explore the independent prognostic factors of patients with UT-DLBCL using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Materials and Methods We searched the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database for the data of patients diagnosed with UT-DLBCL between 1975 and 2016. Data, including demographic tumour stage and therapeutic strategies, such as surgical resection, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, were collected. The impact of these factors on survival outcomes, including overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS), was analysed using Kaplan–Meier curves. Results Four-hundred and eighty-nine patients who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the data analysis. The median age was 69 years old. Most cases of UT-DLBCL (72.39%) originated from the kidney, followed by the urinary bladder (24.95%). Both surgical resection and chemotherapy can significantly improve OS and DSS. Patients older than 75 years had the worst survival outcomes. Stage IV DLBCL may be a poor prognostic factor. Conclusion To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest population-based study of UT-DLBCL. Advanced age, male gender, lack of surgical resection or chemotherapy, and stage IV DLBCL were poor prognostic factors.

Abstract
Purpose Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a genetically heterogeneous disease, which makes prognostic prediction challenging. The rapid development of research on ferroptosis provides the possibility of its use in prognosis in cancer patients. The aim of the current investigation was to perform a systematic study of ferroptosis and DLBCL prognosis to identify prognostic biomarkers in DLBCL. Materials and Methods A total of 884 DLBCL patients from the Gene Expression Omnibus database were included in this study and were divided into a training set and a validation set. Univariate Cox regression analysis was used to investigate relationships between gene expression and prognostic values. Ferroptosis-related genes associated with overall survival in the training set were then extracted, and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox regression model was used to establish an eight-gene signature, comprising ZEB1, PSAT1, NGB, NFE2L2, LAMP2, HIF1A, FH, and CXCL2. Results The signature exhibited significant independent prognostic value in both the training set and the validation set. It also exhibited strong prognostic value in subgroup analysis. A nomogram integrating the eight-gene signature and components of the International Prognostic Index facilitated reliable prognostic prediction. Conclusion A novel and reliable ferroptosis-related gene signature that can effectively classify DLBCL patients into high-risk and low-risk groups in terms of survival rate was developed. It could be used for prognostic prediction in DLBCL patients. Targeting ferroptosis may be a therapeutic alternative in DLBCL.

Genomic Mutation Profile of Primary Gastrointestinal Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. Front Oncol 2021; 11:622648. [PMID: 33747936 PMCID: PMC7973209 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.622648] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2020] [Accepted: 02/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Primary gastrointestinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (GI-DLBCL) is the most common gastrointestinal lymphoma, but its genetic features are poorly understood. We performed whole-exome sequencing of 25 primary tumor samples from patients with GI-DLBCL and 23 matched normal tissue samples. Oncogenic mutations were screened, and the correlations between genetic mutations and clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed. Twenty-five patients with GI-DLBCL were enrolled in the genetic mutation analysis with a median of 184 (range 79–382) protein-altering variants per patient. We identified recurrent oncogenic mutations in GI-DLBCL, including those in TP53, MUC16, B2M, CCND3, HIST1H1C, NEB, and ID3. Compared with nodal DLBCL, GI-DLBCL exhibited an increased mutation frequency of TP53 and reduced mutation frequencies of PIM1, CREBBP, BCL2, KMT2D, and EZH2. Moreover, GI-DLBCL exhibited fewer MYD88 and CD79B mutations than DLBCL in the testis and central nervous system. GI-DLBCLs with HLA-B, MEF2A, RHOA, and NAV3 mutations exhibited a tendency toward a high proliferation index. MUC16 and ETV6 mutations often occurred in tumors with early clinical staging. Our data provide a comprehensive understanding of the landscape of mutations in a small subset of GI-DLBCLs. The genetic mutation profiles of GI-DLBCL differ from those of nodal DLBCL and DLBCL in immune-privileged sites. The different mutated genes are related to the NF-κB and JAK-STAT pathways, and the different pathogenetic mechanisms leading to the development of DLBCL may be influenced by the tissue microenvironment. Differences in genetic alterations might influence the clinicopathological characteristics of GI-DLBCL.

Abstract
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a biologically and clinically heterogenous disease. Identifying more precise and individual survival prognostic models are still needed. This study aimed to develop a predictive nomogram and a web-based survival rate calculator that can dynamically predict the long-term cancer-specific survival (CSS) of DLBCL patients. A total of 3,573 eligible patients with DLBCL from 2004 to 2015 were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database. The entire group was randomly divided into the training (n = 2,504) and validation (n = 1,069) cohorts. We identified six independent predictors for survival including age, sex, marital status, Ann Arbor stage, B symptom, and chemotherapy, which were used to construct the nomogram and the web-based survival rate calculator. The C-index of the nomogram was 0.709 (95% CI, 0.692–0.726) in the training cohort and 0.700 (95% CI, 0.671–0.729) in the validation cohort. The AUC values of the nomogram for predicting the 1-, 5-, and 10- year CSS rates ranged from 0.704 to 0.765 in both cohorts. All calibration curves revealed optimal consistency between predicted and actual survival. A risk stratification model generated based on the nomogram showed a favorable level of predictive accuracy compared with the IPI, R-IPI, and Ann Arbor stage in both cohorts according to the AUC values (training cohort: 0.715 vs 0.676, 0.652, and 0.648; validation cohort: 0.695 vs 0.692, 0.657, and 0.624) and K-M survival curves. In conclusion, we have established and validated a novel nomogram risk stratification model and a web-based survival rate calculator that can dynamically predict the long-term CSS in DLBCL, which revealed more discriminative and predictive accuracy than the IPI, R-IPI, and Ann Arbor stage in the rituximab era.

The incidence and mortality trends of bone lymphoma in the United States: An analysis of the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. J Bone Oncol 2020; 24:100306. [PMID: 32760645 PMCID: PMC7390813 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbo.2020.100306] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2020] [Revised: 07/05/2020] [Accepted: 07/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
The incidence rates of bone lymphoma had sharply increased for the early decades. The incidence trend of bone lymphoma has stabilized in recent years. The mortality had sharply increased from 1985 to 2016 without a turn point. The incidence and mortality by various characteristics had similar patterns.
Background In recent years, studies on bone lymphoma and its histologic types have reached a mature stage. However, reports on the incidence and incidence-based mortality trends of bone lymphoma are scanty. Methods Patients with bone lymphoma in the U.S. were selected from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (1975–2016), and categorized based on age, sex, race, tumor location, SEER Historic Stage A and histologic type. Data on the incidence (1975–2016) and incidence-based mortality (1985–2016) were directly obtained from the SEER program. Annual percentage change (APC) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using the joinpoint regression analysis program. Results Overall, 13,058 bone lymphoma cases diagnosed in resident patients of the U.S. were included in incidence analysis between 1975 and 2016 as follows: 6080 cases in 1975–1999, 3796 cases in 2000–2009, and 3182 cases in 2010–2016. Of these cases, 6888 died of bone lymphoma between 1985 and 2016. The overall incidence rates dramatically increased from 0.89 per 100,000 person-years in 1975 to 1.36 per 100,000 person-years in 2016. Incidence trend sharply increased from 1975 to 2009, and then stabilized between 2009 and 2016. Overall incidence-based mortality trends sharply increased from 1985 to 2016 without a joinpoint. Following the demographic and tumor characteristics, the trends of incidence and incidence-based mortality exhibited similar patterns. Conclusion Considering various characteristics (age, sex, race, tumor location, SEER Historic Stage A, and histologic type), we established that the incidence trend of bone lymphoma has sharply been increasing over the decades, however, in the recent years, the trend has stabilized. Besides, between 1985 and 2016, the incidence-based mortality had been sharply increasing without a turning point. These findings could give insights for clinicians to elaborately assess the epidemiology and risk factors of bone lymphoma.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Metabolic tumor volume (MTV) is a promising indicator of prognosis in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The aim of the present study is to evaluate the different methods for the calculation of the basal metabolic tumor volume with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in the patients with DLBCL, relating each one of the volumes measured with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). METHODOLOGY This is a retrospective analytical cohort study, in which 34 patients underwent to 18F-FDG PET/CT baseline prior to treatment. We compared three SUV thresholds 2.5, SUV 40% of the maximum SUV and SUV mean hepatic uptake (PERCIST) for the calculation of MTV and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) biomarkers, relating them to the PFS and OS. The best predictive model was selected based on the Akaike's information criterion (AIC) after performing a Cox proportional hazards regression. RESULTS In relation to the PFS, they show statistically significant differences: MTV 2.5, TLG 2.5, MTV 40, TLG 40, MTV and TLG calculated with the PERCIST threshold. Among these, the one that has a lower AIC is MTV 2.5, so it is considered the best parameter to predict the PFS. With respect to OS, it shows statistically significant differences: MTV 2.5, VMT and TLG calculated with the PERCIST threshold. Among these three, the one with the lowest AIC is MTV 2.5, which is why it is considered the best parameter to predict OS. In addition, a higher value of MTV and total tumor glycolysis (TLG), is associated with worse PFS and OS CONCLUSION: The MTV calculated with the threshold SUV 2.5 seems to be the best parameter to predict PFS and OS in patients diagnosed with DLBCL with 18F-FDG PET/CT.
