Gene-expression profile in a series of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients

ABSTRACT: PIM serine/threonine kinases are overexpressed, translocated or amplified in multiple B-cell lymphoma types. We have explored the frequency and relevance of PIM expression in different B-cell lymphoma types, and investigated whether PIM inhibition could be a rational therapeutic approach. Increased expression of PIM2 was detected in subsets of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBLC), follicular lymphoma (FL), marginal zone lymphoma-MALT type (MZL-MALT), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and nodal marginal zone lymphoma (NMZL) cases. Increased PIM2 protein expression was associated with an aggressive clinical course in ABC-DLBCL patients. Pharmacological and genetic inhibition of PIM2 revealed p4E-BP1(Thr37/46) and p4E-BP1(Ser65) as molecular biomarkers characteristic of PIM2 activity, and indicated the involvement of PIM2 kinase in regulating mTORC1. The simultaneous genetic inhibition of all three PIM kinases induced changes in apoptosis and cell cycle. In conclusion, we show that PIM2 kinase inhibition is a rational approach in DLBCL treatment, identify appropriate biomarkers for pharmacodynamic studies, and provide a new marker for patient stratification. Gene-expression profiling was conducted in a series of 114 B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients (DLBCL, FL, MALT, MCL, CLL and NMZL). Seven freshly frozen lymph nodes and six freshly frozen reactive tonsils were used as controls.

Project description:MALT lymphoma is characterized by t(11;18)(q21;q21)/API2-MALT1, t(1;14)(p22;q32)/BCL10-IGH and t(14;18)(q32;q21)/IGH-MALT1, which commonly activate the NF-ÎºB pathway. Gastric MALT lymphomas harboring such translocation do not respond to H. pylori eradication, while those without translocation can be cured by antibiotics. To understand the molecular mechanism of these different MALT lymphoma subgroups, we performed gene expression profiling analysis of 24 MALT lymphomas (15 translocation-positive, 9 translocation-negative). Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of the NF-ÎºB target genes and 4394 additional gene sets covering various cellular pathways, biological processes and molecular functions showed that translocation-positive MALT lymphomas are characterized by an enhanced expression of NF-ÎºB target genes, particularly TLR6, CCR2, CD69 and BCL2, while translocation-negative cases were featured by active inflammatory and immune responses, such as IL8, CD86, CD28 and ICOS. Separate analyses of the genes differentially expressed between translocation-positive and negative cases and measurement of gene ontology term in these differentially expressed genes by hypergeometric test reinforced the above findings by GSEA. Finally, expression of TLR6, in the presence of TLR2, enhanced both API2-MALT1 and BCL10 mediated NF-ÎºB activation in vitro. Our findings provide novel insights into the molecular mechanism of MALT lymphomas with and without translocation, potentially explaining their different clinical behaviors. This study compares MALT with other lymphomas, namely follicular lymphomas (FL) and mantle cell lymphomas (MCL), and investigates the molecular mechanisms of the lymphomagenesis between translocation-positive versus -negative MALT lymphoma cases in order to derive the pathways leading to MALT lymphoma pathogenesis. The study uses fresh frozen tissues from 24 MALT lymphoma cases with 7 FL and 7 MCL. Samples were run on the HG-U133A, HG-U133B, and HG-U133 plus2 GeneChips.
