Impact of metformin use on the outcomes of newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: The diabetes mellitus (DM) drug metformin targets mechanistic/mammalian target of rapamycin and inhibits lymphoma growth in vitro. We investigated whether metformin affected outcomes of newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL, n = 869) and follicular lymphoma (FL, n = 895) patients enrolled in the Mayo component of the Molecular Epidemiology Resource cohort study between 2002 and 2015. Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, prognostic index and treatment were used to estimate the association of metformin exposure (No DM/No metformin; DM/No metformin; DM/Metformin) with event-free (EFS), lymphoma-specific (LSS) and overall (OS) survival. Compared to No DM/No metformin DLBCL patients, there was no association of DM/Metformin (n = 48; HR = 1·05, 95% CI 0·59-1·89) or DM/No metformin(n = 54; HR = 1·41, 95% CI 0·88-2·26) with EFS; results were similar for LSS and OS. Compared to No DM/No metformin FL patients, there was no association of DM/Metformin (n = 37; HR = 1·16, 95% CI 0·71-1·89) or DM/No metformin (n = 19; HR = 1·16, 95% CI 0·66-2·04) with EFS; results were similar for LSS. However, DM/Metformin was associated with inferior OS (HR = 2·17; 95% CI 1·19-3·95) compared to No DM/No metformin. In conclusion, we found no evidence that metformin use was associated with improved outcomes in newly diagnosed DLBCL and FL.

Project description:IntroductionSoluble MHC class I-related chain A (sMICA) and B (sMICB) play a critical role tumor evolution and poor prognosis through an immune evasion mechanism. Thus, this study determines the interaction between sMICA/sMICB and the tumor immune environment in newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (ND-DLBCL).MethodsWe analyzed sMICA/sMICB, cytokine in serum, and macrophage polarization analysis in tissue samples before the first chemotherapy administration. This research was performed to investigate the correlation between sMICA/sMICB expression and treatment outcomes as well as their influence on the immune system within ND-DLBCL.ResultsOf the 262 patients, 47.3% (n = 124) presented stage III or IV at diagnosis and 50.8% (n = 133) had a high International Prognostic Index (IPI ≥ 3). The patients with high (p = 0.034 and 0.004), elevated lactate dehydrogenase (p = 0.002 and 0.030), advanced stage (p = 0.003 and 0.012), and higher IPI risk (p = 0.009, and 0.032) correlated with the detection of sMICA or sMICB. The median progression-free survival (PFS) of patients with sMICA (p = 0.006) or sMICB (p =0.032) was inferior. Among the patients with advanced-stage or high IPI, those with sMICA or sMICB presented an inferior PFS and OS compared to those without. TNF-a, a pro-inflammatory cytokine, showed statistical significance with detected sMICA (p = 0.035) or sMICB (p = 0.044). Among anti-inflammatory cytokines, IL-1RA (P-value = 0.013) and IL-10 (p = 0.005) were associated with detecting sMICB, but not sMICA. In tissue samples, sMICA or sMICB detection did not correlate with the CD68/CD163 ratio.DiscussionConclusively, the identification of sMICA/sMICB presented unfavorable immunochemotherapy outcomes, and it was assumed that sMICA or sMICB and various cytokines interact, but the relationship with macrophage differentiation is unclear. Therefore, further research is needed to determine the relationship between sMICA/sMICB and tumor microenvironment in DLBCL.
