High Myc activity is an independent negative prognostic factor for diffuse large B cell lymphomas

ABSTRACT: In this study we investigated to which extend aberrant c Myc activity plays a functional role in other aNHL and whether it is independent from MYC translocations. Based on a combined microarray analysis of human germinal centre (GC) B cells transfected with c Myc and 220 aNHLs cases, we developed a ‘c Myc index’. This data set contains expresssion profiles from Germinal center B-cells transfected with control or Myc expression vectors. The corresponding lymphoma gene expression profiles are included in the series with GEO accession GSE4475. Expression profiling of germinal center B-cells extracted from human tonsils with and without ectopic expression of Myc.

Project description:MYC translocations are the biologic hallmark of Burkitt lymphomas but also occur in other mature B-cell lymphomas. If accompanied by chromosomal breaks targeting the BCL2 and/or BCL6 oncogenes, these MYC translocation-positive (MYC+) lymphomas are called double-hit lymphomas (DHLs); otherwise, the term single-hit lymphoma (SHL) is applied. In order to characterize the biologic features of these MYC+ lymphomas other than Burkitt lymphomas, we explored, after exclusion of molecular Burkitt lymphoma (mBL) as defined by gene expression profiling (GEP), the molecular, pathological and clinical aspects of 80 MYC translocation (MYC+) lymphomas (31 SHL, 26 BCL2+/MYC+, 14 BCL6+/MYC+, 6 BCL2+/BCL6+/MYC+ and 3 MYC+ lymphomas with unknown BCL6 status). Comparison of SHL and DHL revealed no difference in frequency of MYC partner (IG/non-IG), genomic complexity or MYC expression and no differences in GEP. DHL showed a more frequent GCB-like GEP and higher IGH and MYC mutation rates. GEP revealed 130 differentially expressed genes between BCL6+/MYC+ and BCL2+/MYC+ DHL. BCL2+/MYC+ DHL showed a more frequent GCB-like GEP. Analysis of all lymphomas according to MYC partner (IG/non-IG) revealed no substantial differences. In contrast to mBL and lymphomas without MYC break, SHL and DHL patients had similar poor outcome. Our data suggest that after excluding mBL, MYC+ lymphomas could be biologically widely lumped without further need for subclassification. 32 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma samples were hybridized to HG-U133A Affymetrix GeneChips. In addition, this study contains 30 already published samples, which contribute to GSE4475 (Hummel et al. 2006 (PMID 16760442)), as well as 18 already published samples from GSE22470 (Salaverria et al. 2011 (PMID 21487109)). No re-normalisation of the published samples was performed. The complete dataset representing: (1) the 32 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma Samples, (2) the 30 Samples from GSE4475 and (3) the 18 Samples from GSE22470, is linked below as a supplementary file
