Molecular heterogeneity of NK/T-cell lymphoma (expression)

ABSTRACT: To investigate if biologically distinct subsets exists in extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (NKTL), we performed unsupervised integrative analyses of gene expression profiling (GEP), miRNA profiling, and copy number aberration (CNA) on 66 cases of NKTL from diverse anatomical sites. This series is the GEP data.

Project description:Primary bone diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PB-DLBCL) is a rare extranodal lymphoma subtype. This retrospective study elucidates the currently unknown genetic background of a large clinically well-annotated cohort of DLBCL with osseous localizations (O-DLBCL), including PB-DLBCL. 103 O-DLBCL patients were included and compared with 63 (extra)nodal non-osseous (NO)-DLBCLs with germinal center B-cell phenotype (NO-DLBCL-GCB). Cell-of-origin (COO) was determined by immunohistochemistry and gene-expression-profiling (GEP) using (extended)-NanoString/Lymph2Cx. Mutational profiles were identified with targeted next-generation deep-sequencing, including 52 B-cell lymphoma-relevant genes. O-DLBCLs, including 34 PB-DLBCL, were predominantly classified as GCB-phenotype based on immunohistochemistry (74%) and NanoString analysis (88%). Unsupervised hierarchical clustering of an extended-NanoString/Lymph2Cx demonstrated significantly different GEP-clusters for PB-DLBCL as opposed to NO-DLBCL-GCB (P<0.001). Expression levels of 23 genes of two different targeted GEP-panels, indicated a centrocyte–like phenotype for PB-DLBCL, whereas NO-DLBCL-GCB showed a centroblast-like constitution. PB-DLBCL had significantly more frequent mutations in four GCB-associated genes, i.e. B2M, EZH2, IRF8, and TNFRSF14, compared to NO-DLBCL-GCB (P=0.031, P=0.010, P=0.047, and P=0.003). PB-DLBCL with its corresponding specific mutational profile were significantly associated with a superior overall survival compared to equivalent Ann Arbor limited-stage I/II NO-DLBCL-GCB (P=0.011). This study is the first to demonstrate that PB-DLBCL is characterized by a GCB-phenotype, with a centrocyte-like GEP-pattern and a GCB-associated mutational profile (both involved in immune surveillance) and a favorable prognosis. These novel biology-associated features provide evidence that PB-DLBCL represents a distinct extranodal DLBCL entity and its specific mutational landscape holds potential for targeted therapies (e.g. EZH2-inhibitors). The NanoString analsyis consisted out of 219 probes for Lymph2Cx classifier (COO), MYC-activity GEP score, CNV-associated GEP signature, consensus clustering, and immune-ratio signature. This custome probeset was used to differentiate GEPs between osseous and non-osseos DLBCL of the GCB-phenotype.
