Ferroptosis-Related Gene Signature: A New Method for Personalized Risk Assessment in Patients with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a genetically heterogeneous disease, which makes prognostic prediction challenging. The rapid development of research on ferroptosis provides the possibility of its use in prognosis in cancer patients. The aim of the current investigation was to perform a systematic study of ferroptosis and DLBCL prognosis to identify prognostic biomarkers in DLBCL.

Materials and methods

A total of 884 DLBCL patients from the Gene Expression Omnibus database were included in this study and were divided into a training set and a validation set. Univariate Cox regression analysis was used to investigate relationships between gene expression and prognostic values. Ferroptosis-related genes associated with overall survival in the training set were then extracted, and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox regression model was used to establish an eight-gene signature, comprising ZEB1, PSAT1, NGB, NFE2L2, LAMP2, HIF1A, FH, and CXCL2.

Results

The signature exhibited significant independent prognostic value in both the training set and the validation set. It also exhibited strong prognostic value in subgroup analysis. A nomogram integrating the eight-gene signature and components of the International Prognostic Index facilitated reliable prognostic prediction.

Conclusion

A novel and reliable ferroptosis-related gene signature that can effectively classify DLBCL patients into high-risk and low-risk groups in terms of survival rate was developed. It could be used for prognostic prediction in DLBCL patients. Targeting ferroptosis may be a therapeutic alternative in DLBCL.

Immunophenotypic Landscape and Prognosis-Related mRNA Signature in Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma

Project description:Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) exhibits a tightly complexity immune landscape. In this study, we intended to identify different immune phenotype and to examine the immune related mRNA signature for clinical characteristic, therapeutic responsiveness as well as risk stratification and survival prediction in DLBCL. We identified two immune infiltration subtypes of DLBCL patients based on 28 immune cell types. GSEA analysis uncovered the concordant classification of two robust significant subtypes of DLBCL. Considering the convenient application of the immune infiltration subtypes for prognostic prediction, we developed a risk score based on the differentially expressed genes between the Immunity-H and Immunity-L groups. By a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO)-Cox regression model, a sixteen-gene risk signature, comprising ANTXR1, CD3D, TIMP1, FPR3, NID2, CTLA4, LPAR6, GPR183, LYZ, PTGDS, ITK, FBN1, FRMD6, PLAU, MICAL2, C1S, was established. The comprehensive results showed that the high-risk group was correlated with lower immune infiltration, more aggressive phenotypes, lower overall survival and more sensitive to lenalidomide. In contrast, a low-risk group score was associated with higher immune infiltration, less aggressive phenotypes, better overall survival and more likely to benefit from PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. Finally, a nomogram comprised of the risk score and IPI score was verified to more accurately predict the overall survival of DLBCL than traditional clinical prediction models. Altogether, our data demonstrate the heterogeneity of immune patterns within DLBCL and deepen our molecular understanding of this tumor entity.

A novel prognostic signature based on immune-related genes of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Project description:Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) presents a great clinical challenge and has a poor prognosis, with immune-related genes playing a crucial role. We aimed to develop an immune-related prognostic signature for improving prognosis prediction in DLBCL. Samples from the GSE31312 dataset were randomly allocated to discovery and internal validation cohorts. Univariate Cox, random forest, LASSO regression and multivariate Cox analyses were utilized to develop a prognostic signature, which was verified in the internal validation cohort, entire validation cohort and external validation cohort (GSE10846). The tumor microenvironment was investigated using the CIBERSORT and ESTIMATE tools. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was further applied to analyze the entire GSE31312 cohort. We identified four immune-related genes (CD48, IL1RL, PSDM3, RXFP3) significantly associated with overall survival. Based on discovery and validation cohort analyses, this four-gene signature could classify patients into high- and low-risk groups, with significantly different prognoses. Activated memory CD4 T cells and activated dendritic cells were significantly decreased in the high-risk group, and these patients had lower immune scores. GSEA revealed enrichment of signaling pathways, such as T cell receptor, antigen receptor-mediated, antigen processing and presentation of peptide antigen via MHC class I, in the low-risk group. In conclusion, a robust signature based on four immune-related genes was successfully constructed for predicting prognosis in DLBCL patients.

Project description:Background: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a highly heterogeneous disease, and about 30%-40% of patients will develop relapsed/refractory DLBCL. In this study, we aimed to develop a gene signature to predict survival outcomes of DLBCL patients based on the autophagy-related genes (ARGs). Methods: We sequentially used the univariate, least absolute shrinkage and selector operation (LASSO), and multivariate Cox regression analyses to build a gene signature. The Kaplan-Meier curve and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were performed to estimate the prognostic capability of the gene signature. GSEA analysis, ESTIMATE and ssGSEA algorithms, and one-class logistic regression were performed to analyze differences in pathways, immune response, and tumor stemness between the high- and low-risk groups. Results: Both in the training cohort and validation cohorts, high-risk patients had inferior overall survival compared with low-risk patients. The nomogram consisted of the autophagy-related gene signature, and clinical factors had better discrimination of survival outcomes, and it also had a favorable consistency between the predicted and actual survival. GSEA analysis found that patients in the high-risk group were associated with the activation of doxorubicin resistance, NF-κB, cell cycle, and DNA replication pathways. The results of ESTIMATE, ssGSEA, and mRNAsi showed that the high-risk group exhibited lower immune cell infiltration and immune activation responses and had higher similarity to cancer stem cells. Conclusion: We proposed a novel and reliable autophagy-related gene signature that was capable of predicting the survival and resistance of patients with DLBCL and could guide individualized treatment in future.

Posttransplant diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: new genetic findings

Project description:Molecular pathogenesis of posttransplant (PT) lymphoproliferative disorder, including the most prevalent diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), is largely unknown. We have recently showed that Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)+ and EBV- PT-DLBCL are biologically different, but gene expression profile of the latter lymphoma is similar to that of immunocompetent (IC) DLBCL. To validate these findings on a genomic level, we performed array CGH analysis of 21 EBV+ and 6 EBV- PT-DLBCL, and 11 control IC-DLBCL. Genomic and transcriptomic data were subsequently integrated. Notably, EBV+ and EBV- PT-DLBCL revealed only one shared recurrent imbalance, while EBV- PT-DLBCL displayed at least 10 aberrations recurrent in IC-DLBCL, among others gain of 3/3q and 18q, and loss of 6q23/TNFAIP3 and 9p21/CDKN2A. EBV+ PT-DLBCL showed distinct aberrations, including the most prevalent gain/amplification of 9p24.1 targeting PDCD1LG2/PDL2. Significant differential representation/expression of 3p13/FOXP1 and 9p21/CDKNA2 in EBV+ PT-DLBCL when compared with EBV- PT-/IC-DLBCL, suggests that the oncogene FOXP1 and the tumor suppressor gene CDKNA2 are not implicated in pathogenesis of EBV+ PT-DLBCL. In summary, genomic profiling of PT-/IC-DLBCL confirmed biological distinctness of EBV+ and EBV- PT-DLBCL, and relationship between EBV- PT-DLBCL and IC-DLBCL. These findings support the hypothesis that EBV- PT-DLBCL are coincidental lymphomas in transplant recipients

New Insights into Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Pathobiology.

Project description:Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), accounting for about 40% of all cases of NHL. Analysis of the tumor microenvironment is an important aspect of the assessment of the progression of DLBCL. In this review article, we analyzed the role of different cellular components of the tumor microenvironment, including mast cells, macrophages, and lymphocytes, in the tumor progression of DLBCL. We examined several approaches to confront the available pieces of evidence, whereby three key points emerged. DLBCL is a disease of malignant B cells spreading and accumulating both at nodal and at extranodal sites. In patients with both nodal and extranodal lesions, the subsequent induction of a cancer-friendly environment appears pivotal. The DLBCL cell interaction with mature stromal cells and vessels confers tumor protection and inhibition of immune response while delivering nutrients and oxygen supply. Single cells may also reside and survive in protected niches in the nodal and extranodal sites as a source for residual disease and relapse. This review aims to molecularly and functionally recapitulate the DLBCL-milieu crosstalk, to relate niche and pathological angiogenic constitution and interaction factors to DLBCL progression.

BRD4 inhibition sensitizes diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cells to ferroptosis

Project description:Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most common form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, is characterized by an aggressive clinical course. In approximately one-third of DLBCL patients, first-line multi-agent immunochemotherapy fails to produce a durable response. Molecular heterogeneity and apoptosis resistance pose major therapeutic challenges in DLBCL treatment. To circumvent apoptosis resistance, the induction of ferroptosis might represent a promising strategy for lymphoma therapy. Here, a compound library targeting epigenetic modulators was screened to identify ferroptosis-sensitizing drugs. Strikingly, bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) inhibitors sensitized cells of the germinal center B cell-like (GCB) subtype of DLBCL to ferroptosis induction and the combination of BET inhibitors with ferroptosis inducers, such as dimethyl fumarate (DMF) or RSL3, synergized in the killing of DLBCL cells in vitro and in vivo. On the molecular level, the BET protein BRD4 was found to be an essential regulator of ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1) expression and to thus protect GCB DLBCL cells from ferroptosis. Collectively, we identified and characterized BRD4 as an important player in ferroptosis suppression in GCB DLBCL and provide a rationale for the combination of BET inhibitors with ferroptosis-inducing agents as a novel therapeutic approach for DLBCL treatment.

Next-generation prognostic assessment for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Project description:Current standard of care therapy for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cures a majority of patients with additional benefit in salvage therapy and autologous stem cell transplant for patients who relapse. The next generation of prognostic models for DLBCL aims to more accurately stratify patients for novel therapies and risk-adapted treatment strategies. This review discusses the significance of host genetic and tumor genomic alterations seen in DLBCL, clinical and epidemiologic factors, and how each can be integrated into risk stratification algorithms. In the future, treatment prediction and prognostic model development and subsequent validation will require data from a large number of DLBCL patients to establish sufficient statistical power to correctly predict outcome. Novel modeling approaches can augment these efforts.

Project description:Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a rare aggressive lymphoma. Although it was first described in HIV- (human immunodeficiency virus-) infected patients, PBL has been diagnosed in patients with other immunodeficiencies as well as in immunocompetent patients. PBL immunohistochemically expresses plasmacytic markers and lacks pan B-cell markers. The cells of origin of PBL are considered to be plasmablasts. MYC gene rearrangement and MYC overexpression are frequently found in PBL, but the pathogenesis of PBL is yet to be elucidated. Here, we report a case of composite lymphoma of PBL and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL); that is, PBL in the urinary bladder and DLBCL in the nasal cavity occurred simultaneously. We extracted DNA from the two lymphomas for polymerase chain reaction and sequenced the amplified immunoglobulin heavy variable genes and the complementarity-determining region- (CDR-) 3. The sequence of the CDR3 region of both tumors matched. MYC rearrangement was found in the bladder tumor but not in the nasal tumor. The patient was treated with R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and prednisone), and durable remission had been obtained. The results of the DNA analysis indicated that both PBL and DLBCL emerged from common postgerminal B cells. This case may help to elucidate the pathogenesis of PBL.

New agents and regimens for diffuse large B cell lymphoma.

Project description:As a widely recognized standard regimen, R-CHOP (rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) is able to cure two-thirds patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and the remaining patients suffer from refractory or relapsed disease due to resistance to R-CHOP and fare poorly. Unsatisfied outcomes for those relapsed/refractory patients prompted efforts to discover new treatment approaches for DLBCL, including chimeric antigen receptor T cells, bispecific T cell engagers, immunomodulatory drugs, immune checkpoint inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, molecular pathway inhibitors, and epigenetic-modifying drugs. Herein, up-to-date data about the most promising treatment approaches for DLBCL are recapitulated, and novel genetic classification systems are introduced to guide individualized treatment for DLBCL.
