Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a heterogeneous entity. Lately, several algorithms achieving therapeutically and prognostically relevant DLBCL subclassification have been published. METHODS A cohort of 74 routine DLBCL cases was broadly characterized by immunohistochemistry (IHC), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) of the BCL2, BCL6, and MYC loci, and comprehensive high-throughput sequencing (HTS). Based on the genetic alterations found, cases were reclassified using two probabilistic tools - LymphGen and Two-step classifier, allowing for comparison of the two models. RESULTS Hans and Tally's overall IHC-based subclassification success rate was 96% and 82%, respectively. HTS and FISH data allowed the LymphGen algorithm to successfully classify 11/55 cases (1 - BN2, 7 - EZB, 1 - MCD, and 2 - genetically composite EZB/N1). The total subclassification rate was 20%. On the other hand, the Two-step classifier categorized 36/55 cases, with 65.5% success (9 - BN2, 12 - EZB, 9 - MCD, 2 - N1, and 4 - ST2). Clinical correlations highlighted MCD as an aggressive subtype associated with higher relapse and mortality. CONCLUSIONS The Two-step algorithm has a better success rate at subclassifying DLBCL cases based on genetic differences. Further improvement of the classifiers is required to increase the number of classifiable cases and thus prove their applicability in routine diagnostics.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (GI-DLBCL) is an extremely aggressive form of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (BNHL) which has complex histological characteristics and manifests a high degree of heterogeneity in terms of clinical, morphological, immunological, and genetic features. GI-DLBCL mainly spreads by infiltrating neighboring lymph nodes, and common gastrointestinal complications (GICS) such as obstruction, perforation, or bleeding, frequently arise during the progression of the disease, posing significant challenges in both diagnosing and treating the condition. Meanwhile, the incidence of GI-DLBCL has been gradually increasing in recent years, and its strong invasiveness makes it prone to being misdiagnosed or completely missed. In clinical practice, over half of the patients diagnosed with the disease are in stage III or stage IV. What makes it worse is that certain patients may not exhibit a favorable response to chemotherapy. All these lead to intricacies in management of this disease. Unfortunately, there is currently no large prospective study or evidence-based medical evidence to provide clear guidance on treatment decisions for this specific type of lymphoma. Neither do physicians have a consensus regarding the optimal approach to address this condition. Recent studies have identified the presence of various prognostic factors that significantly impact survival in GI-DLBCL, which demonstrates the unique particularity of GI-DLBCL, and could help optimize the clinical decision.

Meta-Analysis of MS-Based Proteomics Studies Indicates Interferon Regulatory Factor 4 and Nucleobindin1 as Potential Prognostic and Drug Resistance Biomarkers in Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma. Cells 2023; 12:cells12010196. [PMID: 36611989 PMCID: PMC9818977 DOI: 10.3390/cells12010196] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2022] [Revised: 12/20/2022] [Accepted: 12/26/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
The prognosis of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is inaccurately predicted using clinical features and immunohistochemistry (IHC) algorithms. Nomination of a panel of molecules as the target for therapy and predicting prognosis in DLBCL is challenging because of the divergences in the results of molecular studies. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics in the clinic represents an analytical tool with the potential to improve DLBCL diagnosis and prognosis. Previous proteomics studies using MS-based proteomics identified a wide range of proteins. To achieve a consensus, we reviewed MS-based proteomics studies and extracted the most consistently significantly dysregulated proteins. These proteins were then further explored by analyzing data from other omics fields. Among all significantly regulated proteins, interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) was identified as a potential target by proteomics, genomics, and IHC. Moreover, annexinA5 (ANXA5) and nucleobindin1 (NUCB1) were two of the most up-regulated proteins identified in MS studies. Functional enrichment analysis identified the light zone reactions of the germinal center (LZ-GC) together with cytoskeleton locomotion functions as enriched based on consistent, significantly dysregulated proteins. In this study, we suggest IRF4 and NUCB1 proteins as potential biomarkers that deserve further investigation in the field of DLBCL sub-classification and prognosis.

Abstract
Background The incidence of primary intestinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PI-DLBCL) is much lower than primary gastric DLBCL, and large-scale analyses on the clinical characteristics, molecular features, therapeutic strategies, and risk stratification have been seldomly performed in PI-DLBCL. Methods To assess prognostic model development, 107 PI-DLBCL patients diagnosed before 2014 were studied for prognosis factors including different primary involved sites and treatment strategies. For internal validation, a non-random split sample set with 77 PI-DLBCL patients after 2014 was included for validation of the prognosis factors. Results Patients with an ileocecal lesion presented with better survival time than those with non-ileocecal sites, with surgical resection significantly influencing the prognosis. Non-ileocecal patients who underwent surgery with lymphadenectomy had superior overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) compared to those receiving surgery without lymphadenectomy or those not receiving (without) surgery. For ileocecal patients, surgery with or without lymphadenectomy resulted in better OS and PFS than those without surgery. For biomarker analysis, only BCL-2 >50% or Ki67 >80% on tumor cells indicated poor clinical outcome. In multivariate analysis, age, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score, and site of origin were independent prognostic factors for inferior OS in PI-DLBCL. A prognosis model was set up based on age, ECOG score, and site of origin, and validated well. Conclusions The prognosis in patients with PI-DLBCL with ileocecal involvement showed was better than those with non-ileocecal involvement. Surgical strategy can impact the clinical outcome of PI-DLBCL patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Multiple primary malignancies in a single patient are relatively rare; however, the frequency of this has increased significantly in recent decades. Here, we retrospectively reported an unusual case of a 70-year-old man who was admitted to the hospital with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and colon cancer and aimed to explore measures to reduce missed diagnosis. Based on the data, the investigation of the related literatures, colonoscopy examination, and abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan were conducted for the detection of colon cancer. Following this, a precise diagnosis of MCL was confirmed by immunohistochemistry and bone marrow biopsy, which were performed to analyze the clinical characteristics and essentials for the diagnosis and differential of the disease. The results of colonoscopy showed that the patient had colon cancer, while the abdominal CT scan demonstrated colon cancer accompanied by multiple lymphadenopathy throughout the entire body. Besides, the results of immunohistochemistry confirmed that the patient suffered from MCL. The bone marrow biopsy revealed the active hematopoietic tissue hyperplasia but no tumor issue involvement in the bone marrow. In conclusion, our study combined the analysis and summary of the diagnosis and treatment of the colon cancer with MCL to provide clinical guidance for the rare multiple primary malignancy.

CLINICAL LYMPHOMA MYELOMA & LEUKEMIA 2020; 21:205-215. [PMID: 33139233 DOI: 10.1016/j.clml.2020.10.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2020] [Revised: 10/04/2020] [Accepted: 10/04/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) comprises approximately 30% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Multiple studies have demonstrated race-based disparities in survival among patients with DLBCL across all stages of disease, in the era both before and after rituximab. The etiology for the racial disparities in survival among patients with DLBCL is still unknown. Moreover, the Revised International Prognostic Index (R-IPI), a tool that predicts the DLBCL patients' outcome, has not yet been validated in African Americans (AA). PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a cohort study of patients diagnosed with DLBCL from January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2017, from our tumor registry in a single community-based inner-city cancer center. We abstracted demographic, clinical, histopathologic, treatment, and R-IPI variables. A total of 181 patients (47.5%) with biopsy-proven DLBCL were included in the retrospective analysis. The median age was 65 years, 47% were men, 41% were AA, and 44% were white. RESULTS The AA group had a younger median age, higher lactate dehydrogenase levels, higher frequency of B symptoms, and higher HIV infection than the non-AA group. The AA group had significantly decreased median overall survival than the non-AA group (15.7 months; 95% confidence interval, 10.3 to 23.9, vs. 93.6 months; 95% confidence interval, 61.5 to 142.6, respectively; P < .001). The survival disparities persisted after excluding patients with HIV and who did not receive chemotherapy. In addition, AA race predicts a reduced survival by univariate and multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION AA with DLBCL may have a poorer prognosis than the non-AA population. Further studies should investigate the biology of DLBCL in the AA population.

Cancer Med 2019; 8:982-989. [PMID: 30730104 PMCID: PMC6434211 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.1982] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2018] [Revised: 12/18/2018] [Accepted: 01/02/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Standard therapy for gastric diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is considered to be chemotherapy with or without involved‐field radiation therapy. Although R‐CHOP therapy alone is widely used for DLBCL with gastric lesions (DLBCL‐GL), the outcome and incidence of treatment‐related gastric complications following R‐CHOP are not well known. This study aimed to evaluate the outcome after R‐CHOP therapy in patients with gastric DLBCL including gastric complications and to identify risk factors for the complications. Consecutive patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL‐GL treated with R‐CHOP between 2003 and 2014 were retrospectively evaluated. DLBCL‐GL was defined only when pathologically confirmed in the stomach. Of the 96 patients with DLBCL‐GL, 63 patients were diagnosed with gastric symptoms. Eighty‐eight patients (92%) completed six to eight cycles of R‐CHOP. The complete remission (CR) rate was 86%, and 3‐year and 5‐year overall survival rates were 80% and 73%, respectively. Patients were well stratified according to the Revised International Prognostic Index (R‐IPI). Complication rate was 8% (8/96); seven patients had bleeding and three had stenosis. No patients had gastric perforation. Bleeding occurred during the first cycle of R‐CHOP in five patients (5/7, 71%). Patients with gastric complications had a lower R‐CHOP completion rate (50%, P = 0.001) and a lower CR rate (25%, P < 0.001) than those without complications. A low serum albumin level at diagnosis was the only risk factor identified for gastric complications (P = 0.001) and six of the eight patients with complications were shown to be at stage IV. Further studies of DLBCL‐GL are warranted to identify patients at high risk for gastric complications and to provide better treatment strategies.

Abstract
Distribution of different malignant lymphoma subtypes varies substantially in different geographic regions, even in different districts in China.In order to estimate the epidemiologic characteristics of malignant lymphoma in Hubei, China, we retrospectively analyzed a total number of 2027 newly diagnosed cases from April 2009 to April 2014 in a single institution according to the 2008 WHO classification.The median diagnosis age of all these lymphoma patients was 53 (1-99) years, and the median ages for non-(NHL) and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) were 54 (1-99) years and 38 (5-84) years, respectively. Among the included patients, mature B-cell neoplasms occupied 61.3%, mature T- and NK-cell neoplasms accounted for 21.0%, precursor lymphoid cell neoplasms made up 4.5%, and HL constituted 8.0%. The most common subtype of NHL was diffuse large B cell lymphoma (41.3%), followed by NK/T cell lymphoma (13.4%), extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) (8.0%), follicular lymphoma (6.6%), lymphoblastic lymphoma (4.9%), and mantle cell lymphoma (4.0%). Mixed cellularity lymphoma ranked first among classical HL subtypes, and there is a bimodal median age distribution revealed by our study, which is different from results reported by other regions of China. Most subtypes revealed male predominance while MALT lymphoma showed a slight female predominance. Extranodal lymphomas most frequently involved gastrointestinal tract, sinonasal region, and Waldeyer ring.In summary, the distribution of lymphoma subtypes in Hubei of China is similar to that of Asian populations, as well as other regions of China, but distinct from the Western countries.

Abstract
Cell-of-origin (COO) classification of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is increasingly important due to its prognostic significance and the development of subtype-specific therapeutics. We compared the clinical utility of the Lymph2Cx assay against four widely used immunohistochemical algorithms in 150 R-CHOP-treated DLBCL patients using archival tissue. In contrast to the predominance of germinal center B cell-like (GCB) subtype in Western populations, Lymph2Cx assay classified more than half of the Korean cases as the activated B cell-like (ABC) subtype (ABC, 83/150 [55.3%]; GCB, 51/150 [34.0%]; unclassifiable, 16/150 [10.7%]). Predominance of ABC subtype tended to be more pronounced in the nodal lymphomas than in the extranodal lymphomas. However, among the primary extranodal sites, ABC subgroups predominated in primary testicular, breast, and adrenal gland lymphomas. The classification of COO by Lymph2Cx assay did not show any significant association with clinical parameters. The overall concordance rates of the immunohistochemical algorithms with the Lymph2Cx ranged from 78.0 to 84.3%. However, 47.1-66.7% of the cases of the Lymph2Cx-defined GCB subgroup were misclassified as the non-GCB class by the IHC algorithms. The survival of Lymph2Cx-classified COO subtypes was not significantly different in the present cohort. In conclusion, ABC subtype predominated over GCB in Korean patients. There are significant discrepancies between the immunohistochemistry and Lymph2Cx classifications, especially in GCB subtype.

Abstract
Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) comprise a heterogeneous group of B-cell and T-cell neoplasms. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most common type of NHL, accounts for around 30-40% of NHL cases. However, primary hepatic location of NHLs is rare and constitutes 0.01% of all NHL cases. Due to this rarity and a lack of large randomized trails, it is still unclear what treatment should be used for primary hepatic DLBCLs. In this study, we report of a female patient with primary hepatic DLBCL who was successfully treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery. We also shortly review the literature regarding surgical treatments for primary GI tract NHLs. Taking into account our experience and the current literature, surgical treatment with postoperative chemotherapy seems to be a feasible option for patients with focal primary hepatic DLBCLs.

Clinicopathologic significance of tumor microenvironment CD11c, and FOXP3 expression in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients receiving rituximab, cyclophosphamide, anthracycline, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) combination chemotherapy. Korean J Intern Med 2017; 32:335-344. [PMID: 26968188 PMCID: PMC5339461 DOI: 10.3904/kjim.2015.161] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2015] [Revised: 07/23/2015] [Accepted: 08/13/2015] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS CD11c is a dendritic cell marker in humans, which potentially induces a cytotoxic effect on lymphoma cells. Forkhead boxP3 (FOXP3) is a regulator of T lymphocyte in the microenvironment of the lymphoma. The principal objective of this study was to determine whether the tumors' microenvironment expressions of CD11c and FOXP3 are predictive of clinical outcomes in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients receiving treatment with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, anthracycline, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) combination chemotherapy. METHODS The study population consisted of 100 patients with DLBCL. The CD11c and FOXP3 expression in primary tumors' microenvironment were evaluated using an immunohistochemistry (IHC). RESULTS CD11c and FOXP3 expression positivity in microenvironment were 25% and 35%, respectively. Each one counted for 1 point. In CD11c and FOXP3 stain, positive was counted as 0 and negative was 1. The points were separated into low risk (0 to 1) and high risk (2) groups. Only the extranodal DLBCL patient group analysis conveyed significant differences of progression-free survival (p = 0.019) and overall survival (p = 0.039) between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS We can achieve possible clinical significance of lymphoma tumor microenvironments through CD11c and FOXP3 IHC stains in extranodal DLBCL patients receiving R-CHOP therapy.

CARMA1- and MyD88-dependent activation of Jun/ATF-type AP-1 complexes is a hallmark of ABC diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. Blood 2016; 127:1780-9. [PMID: 26747248 PMCID: PMC4863344 DOI: 10.1182/blood-2015-07-655647] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2015] [Accepted: 01/01/2016] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
A hallmark of the diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of the activated B-cell (ABC) type, a molecular subtype characterized by adverse outcome, is constitutive activation of the transcription factor nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), which controls expression of genes promoting cellular survival and proliferation. Much less, however, is known about the role of the transcription factor activator protein-1 (AP-1) in ABC DLBCL. Here, we show that AP-1, like NF-κB, was controlled by constitutive activation of the B-cell receptor signaling component caspase recruitment domain-containing membrane-associated guanylate kinase 1 (CARMA1) and/or the Toll-like receptor signaling component myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88) in ABC DLBCL cell lines. In contrast to germinal center (GC) B-cell (GCB) DLBCL, ABC DLBCL cell lines expressed high levels of the AP-1 family members c-Jun, JunB, and JunD, which formed heterodimeric complexes with the AP-1 family members activating transcription factor (ATF) 2, ATF3, and ATF7. Inhibition of these complexes by a dominant-negative approach led to impaired growth of a majority of ABC DLBCL cell lines. Individual silencing of c-Jun, ATF2, or ATF3 decreased cellular survival and revealed c-Jun/ATF2-dependent control of ATF3 expression. As a consequence, ATF3 expression was much higher in ABC vs GCB DLBCL cell lines. Samples derived from DLBCL patients showed a clear trend toward high and nuclear ATF3 expression in nodal DLBCL of the non-GC or ABC subtype. These findings identify the activation of AP-1 complexes of the Jun/ATF-type as an important element controlling the growth of ABC DLBCL.
