Comparative gene expression profiling identifies common molecular signatures of NF-?B activation in canine and human diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

ABSTRACT: We present the first comparison of global transcriptional changes in canine and human diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), with particular reference to the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-?B) pathway. Microarray data generated from canine DLBCL and normal lymph nodes were used for differential expression, co-expression and pathway analyses, and compared with analysis of microarray data from human healthy and DLBCL lymph nodes. The comparisons at gene level were performed by mapping the probesets in canine microarrays to orthologous genes in humans and vice versa. A considerable number of differentially expressed genes between canine lymphoma and healthy lymph node samples were also found differentially expressed between human DLBCL and healthy lymph node samples. Principal component analysis using a literature-derived NF-?B target gene set mapped to orthologous canine array probesets and human array probesets clearly separated the healthy and cancer samples in both datasets. The analysis demonstrated that for both human and canine DLBCL there is activation of the NF-?B/p65 canonical pathway, indicating that canine lymphoma could be used as a model to study NF-?B-targeted therapeutics for human lymphoma. To validate this, tissue arrays were generated for canine and human NHL and immunohistochemistry was employed to assess NF-?B activation status. In addition, human and canine B-cell lymphoma lines were assessed for NF-?B activity and the effects of NF-?B inhibition.

Project description:In this study, we present the first comparison of global transcriptional changes taking place in canine lymphoma and human diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), with particular reference to the nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-?B) pathway. Microarray data generated from lymph nodes diagnosed with canine DLBCL and healthy lymph nodes were used for differential expression analysis, co-expression analysis and pathway analysis, and compared with analysis of publicly available microarray data from human healthy and DLBCL lymph nodes. The comparisons between species at gene level were performed by mapping the probesets in canine microarrays to orthologous genes in humans and vice versa. A considerable number of differentially expressed genes between canine lymphoma and healthy lymph node samples were also found differentially expressed between human DLBCL and healthy lymph node samples. Principal component analysis (PCA) using a literature derived 120 NF-?B target gene set mapped to 199 orthologous canine array probesets and 259 human array probesets clearly separated the healthy and cancer samples in both canine and human datasets. The analysis demonstrated that for both human and canine DLBCL there is activation of the NF-?B/p65 canonical pathway rather than the alternative pathway. This has therapeutic implications for the use of specific pathway inhibitors for the treatment of DLBCL for both species and also indicates that naturally occurring canine lymphoma could be used as a model to study therapeutic strategies for human lymphoma. The model was further validated by the identification of molecular signatures that could sub-classify canine DLBCL into activated B-cell-like (ABC) or germinal centre B-cell-like (GCB) types equivalent to human subtypes. Canine DLBCL patients were recruited via the clinical oncology service of the University of Edinburgh Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies (DJA), and the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine (DMV). Lymph node biopsy samples were taken, as part of normal diagnostic procedures, from dogs newly diagnosed with lymphoma (naïve) and samples from dogs that had relapsed following standard of care CHOP chemotherapy. Only dogs with confirmed DLBCL after pathological grading were used in this study. This included standard histopathological grading by two independent pathologists and CD3/PAX5 marker analysis. Normal lymph node samples were obtained from canines that were euthanized for non-lymphoma conditions. Microarray data were generated from 35 canine samples (25 DLBCL and 10 healthy) in total. However, data from 2 canine DLBCL samples did not meet our required quality and were removed from further analysis. Only data from 33 (23 DLBCL and 10 healthy) samples were used for analysis. The generated data were used for differential expression analysis, co-expression analysis and pathway analysis, and compared with analysis of publicly available microarray data (GSE12195) from human healthy and DLBCL lymph nodes. The comparisons between species at gene level were performed by mapping the probesets in canine microarrays to orthologous genes in humans and vice versa.
