Histological subtypes drive distinct prognostic immune signatures in classical Hodgkin lymphoma.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) is a highly curable disease, with about 80% of patients cured using standard first-line chemotherapy. However, outcomes for relapsed/refractory patients re-main unfavorable and there is a critical lack of predictive biomarkers for early identification of these patients who may benefit from new therapeutic strategies. Here we evaluated the dynamic expression of 571 immune-related genes in a cohort of 42 cHL using NanoString technology. We identified a 19-genes immune signature predictive of relapse at the time of diagnosis, which was found to be strongly dependent on histological subtype. Moreover, comparative analyses be-tween paired diagnostic/relapsed biopsies of nodular sclerosis cHL showed 134 differentially expressed genes, highlighting an immune contexture shift at relapse not found in the mixed-cellularity subtype. Overall, these results strongly suggest that the predictive value of immune signature in cHL is influenced by histological subtype, a criterion that should be con-sidered when assessing new immunotherapy strategies.
