Reproducibility of Gene Expression Signatures in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: Multiple gene expression profiles have been identified in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Besides the cell of origin (COO) classifier, no signatures have been reproduced in independent studies or evaluated for capturing distinct aspects of DLBCL biology. We reproduced 4 signatures in 175 samples of the HOVON-84 trial on a panel of 117 genes using the NanoString platform. The four gene signatures capture the COO, MYC activity, B-cell receptor signaling, oxidative phosphorylation, and immune response. Performance of our classification algorithms were confirmed in the original datasets. We were able to validate three of the four GEP signatures. The COO algorithm resulted in 94 (54%) germinal center B-cell (GCB) type, 58 (33%) activated B-cell (ABC) type, and 23 (13%) unclassified cases. The MYC-classifier revealed 77 cases with a high MYC-activity score (44%) and this MYC-high signature was observed more frequently in ABC as compared to GCB DLBCL (68% vs. 32%, p < 0.00001). The host response (HR) signature of the consensus clustering was present in 55 (31%) patients, while the B-cell receptor signaling, and oxidative phosphorylation clusters could not be reproduced. The overlap of COO, consensus cluster and MYC activity score differentiated six gene expression clusters: GCB/MYC-high (12%), GCB/HR (16%), GCB/non-HR (27%), COO-Unclassified (13%), ABC/MYC-high (25%), and ABC/MYC-low (7%). In conclusion, the three validated signatures identify distinct subgroups based on different aspects of DLBCL biology, emphasizing that each classifier captures distinct molecular profiles.

Project description:Background: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of lymphoma which that highly aggressive and heterogeneous. Glycolysis has been implicated in the regulation of tumor microenvironment (TME) and development. In this study, we aimed to establish a glycolysis-related prognostic model for the risk stratification, prognosis prediction, and immune landscape evaluation in patients with DLBCL. Methods: Three independent datasets GSE181063, GSE10846, and GSE53786 containing gene expression profiles and clinical data were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The glycolysis-related prognostic model was developed with Cox and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selector Operation (LASSO) regression and validated. A nomogram integrating clinical factors and glycolytic risk scores was constructed. The composition of the TME was analyzed with the ESTIMATE algorithm and single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA). Results: A glycolytic risk model containing eight genes was developed. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) for the 1-, 3-, and 5-year was 0.718, 0.695, and 0.688, respectively. Patients in the high-risk group had significantly lower immune scores, elevated tumor purity, and poorer survival compared with those in the low-risk group. The nomogram constructed based on glycolytic risk score, age, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG-PS), use of rituximab, and cell of origin (COO) displayed better prediction performance compared with the International Prognostic Index (IPI) in DLBCL. The glycolytic risk score was negatively correlated with the infiltration level of activated CD8 T cells, activated dendritic cells, natural killer cells, and macrophages and immune checkpoint molecules including PD-L2, CTLA4, TIM-3, TIGIT, and B7-H3. Conclusion: These results suggested that the glycolytic risk model could accurately and stably predict the prognosis of patients with DLBCL and might unearth the possible explanation for the glycolysis-related poor prognosis.
