The Impact of IL-6 and IL-10 Gene Polymorphisms in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Risk and Overall Survival in an Arab Population: A Case-Control Study.

ABSTRACT: B-cell lymphomas can be classified as Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL). The incidence of NHL is variable and affected by age, gender, racial, and geographic factors. There is strong evidence that the immune-regulatory cytokines have a major role in hematologic malignancies. In this study, we analyzed the relationship between seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in two selected cytokines (IL-6 rs1800795G > C, rs1800796G > C, rs1800797G > A, IL-10 rs1800871G > A, rs1800872G > T, rs1800890A > T, rs1800896T > C) and the risk and overall survival of DLBCL patients in a Jordanian Arab population. One hundred and twenty-five DLBCL patients diagnosed at King Abdullah University Hospital (KAUH) from the period 2013-2018 and 238 matched healthy controls were included in the study. Genomic DNA was extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues. Genotyping of the genetic polymorphisms was conducted using a sequencing protocol. Our study showed no significant differences in the distribution of all studied polymorphisms of DLBCL between patients and controls. The IL-6 rs1800797 was the only SNP to show significant survival results, DLBCL subjects with the codominant model (GG/AG/AA) genotypes and recessive model (AA genotype in comparison with the combined GG/GA genotype) had worse overall survival (p = 0.028 and 0.016, respectively).

Project description:BackgroundWith the improvement of clinical treatment outcomes in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the high rate of relapse in DLBCL patients is still an established barrier, as the therapeutic strategy selection based on potential targets remains unsatisfactory. Therefore, there is an urgent need in further exploration of prognostic biomarkers so as to improve the prognosis of DLBCL.MethodsThe univariable and multivariable Cox regression models were employed to screen out gene signatures for DLBCL overall survival (OS) prediction. The differential expression analysis was used to identify representative genes in high-risk and low-risk groups, respectively, where student t test and fold change were implemented. The functional difference between the high-risk and low-risk groups was identified by the gene set enrichment analysis.ResultsWe conducted a systematic data analysis to screen the candidate genes significantly associated with OS of DLBCL in three NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets. To construct a prognostic model, five genes (CEBPA, CYP27A1, LST1, MREG, and TARP) were then screened and tested using the multivariable Cox model and the stepwise regression method. Kaplan-Meier curve confirmed the good predictive performance of this five-gene Cox model. Thereafter, the prognostic model and the expression levels of the five genes were validated by means of an independent dataset. High expression levels of these five genes were significantly associated with favorable prognosis in DLBCL, both in training and validation datasets. Additionally, further analysis revealed the independent value and superiority of this prognostic model in risk prediction. Functional enrichment analysis revealed some vital pathways responsible for unfavorable outcome and potential therapeutic targets in DLBCL.ConclusionWe developed a five-gene Cox model for the clinical outcome prediction of DLBCL patients. Meanwhile, potential drug selection using this model can help clinicians to improve the clinical practice for the benefit of patients.

Project description:Double hit lymphomas (DHL) and double expresser lymphomas (DEL) are subsets of diffuse large B cell lymphomas (DLBCL) which are being increasingly recognised as cause of treatment failure. This emphasizes the need for their separation from other DLBCL cases in order to prognosticate and administer more aggressive treatment to this set of patients. The present study was conducted with the aim to identify the DHL/DEL patients and study their distinctive clinicopathological profile and overall survival. This retrospective analysis involved 172 cases of DLBCL sub-classified on the basis of cell of origin. Immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis for MYC, BCL2, BCL6, MUM1 and CD10 was performed. Rearrangement studies were performed using break apart Fluorescent in situ hybridization. Overall survival (OS) was also evaluated. Distinctive clinical and pathological features of DHL and DEL were identified. Rearrangement study by FISH revealed seven cases of DHL (MYC + BCL2 &/or BCL6 rearrangement). Also, 20 patients (11.6%) showed a concurrent expression of BCL2 and MYC oncoproteins (DEL) on IHC. Most (6/7) DHL patients were double expressors also. The DHL patients demonstrated a significant association with female gender, high serum LDH levels (> 750 U/L) and GCB phenotype. DEL patients contrarily predominated amongst males, had intermediate LDH levels (251-500 U/L) and non GCB phenotype. The OS of the patients was 63.8% at 4 years. The OS of the DLBCL, DEL and DHL patients was 71.9%, 46.9%, and 0%, respectively at 4 years (p value 0.010). In case of DEL subtype, factors such as age < 60 years (66.7%), male sex (60.8%), nodal localization (52.5%), early disease stage (84.6%), low IPI score (60%), absence of B symptoms (50%), LDH < 250 U/L (80%) and GCB phenotype (53.3%) were associated with better OS. Further, the OS of DHL cases was 0% at 4 years. Double hit and double expresser lymphomas have poor prognostic outcomes and should be separated from DLBCL. All DELs should be tested for DHLs and especially those with immunoblastic morphology. DHL and DEL subtypes delineate the subtypes with inferior OS and reinstate the need for aggressive interventions.
