Expression of IL-34 correlates with macrophage infiltration and prognosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.


ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Infiltration of macrophages through the tyrosine kinase receptor CSF1R is a poor prognosis factor in various solid tumors. Indeed, these tumors produce CSF1R ligand, macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) or interleukin-34 (IL-34). However, the significance of these cytokines, particularly, the newly discovered IL-34 in haematological malignancies, is not fully understood. We therefore analysed the role of IL-34 in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most common subtype of malignant lymphoma.

Methods

We analysed formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded lymphoma tissues of 135 DLBCL patients for the expression of IL-34 and the number of macrophages, and the survival of these patients. The expression of IL-34 in DLBCL cell lines and the activity of IL-34 to induce the migration of monocytic cells were also characterised.

Results

Several lymphoma tissues showed a clear IL-34 signal, and such signal was detectable in 36% of patients. DLBCL cell lines also expressed IL-34. Interestingly, the percentage of IL-34+ patients in the activated B-cell subtype was significantly higher than that in the germinal centre B-cell subtype. More interestingly, IL-34+ patients showed shorter survival periods and higher number of macrophages in lymphoma tissues. The recruitment of monocytes is likely the first step for the higher macrophage density in the IL-34+ lymphoma tissues. Indeed, IL-34 induced the migration of monocytic cells.

Conclusion

Our results raise the possibility that IL-34 in lymphoma tissues of DLBCL patients recruits monocytes, leading to the higher number of macrophages in the tissues and poor prognosis of patients. IL-34 may be an additional therapeutic target of DLBCL.
