Project description:Cross-species comparative gene expression profiling was performed to identify differentially expressed genes conserved in aggressive B lymphomas. Whole genome expression arrays from mouse B220+ splenic B cells (wild-type C57BL/6, B6) were compared to whole tumors (approximately >75% neoplastic cells) from B6.iMyc mice. Correspondingly, isolated human peripheral blood B cells were compared to human diffuse large B cell (DLBCL) whole tumors (approximately >75% neoplastic cells) DLBCL.
Project description:The distinction between the Burkitt lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is imprecise using current diagnostic criteria. We applied transcriptional and genomic profiling to molecularly define Burkitt lymphoma. Gene expression profiling employing Affymetrix GeneChips (U133A) was performed in 220 mature aggressive B-cell lymphomas, including a core group of eight Burkitt lymphomas, which fulfilled all diagnostic criteria of the WHO classification. A molecular signature of Burkitt lymphoma was generated. Chromosomal abnormalities were detected by interphase fluorescence in-situ hybridization and array comparative genomic hybridization. The molecular Burkitt lymphoma signature identified 44 cases. Fifteen of these cases lacked a morphology typical for Burkitt/Burkitt-like lymphoma. The vast majority (88%) of the 176 lymphomas without the molecular Burkitt lymphoma signature represented diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. In 20% of these cases a MYC break was detectable which was associated with complex chromosomal changes. Our molecular definition of Burkitt lymphoma sharpens and extends the spectrum of Burkitt lymphoma. In mature aggressive B-cell lymphomas without a Burkitt lymphoma signature, a chromosomal break in the MYC locus proved to be associated with adverse clinical outcome. Experiment Overall Design: 220 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and Burkitt lymphoma samples hybridized to 221 HGU133A Affymetrix GeneChips
Project description:The aim of the study was to identify molecular mechanisms involved in high risk diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (diffuse large B-cell lymphomas). <br>51 prospectively collected tumor samples from the patients treated in the Nordic phase II study with dose-dense chemoimmunotherapy followed by systemic CNS prophylaxis were analyzed by high resolution array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH). <br>The aCGH data were combined with the transcriptomics information from the exon array and the data associated with survival.

Project description:Ocular adnexal lymphoma is a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. DIA LC-MS of serum samples collected at diagnosis was performed on 38 ocular adnexal lymphomas (28 extranodal marginal zone lymphomas, and 10 diffuse large B-cell lymphomas), and 20 controls (10 idiopathic orbital inflammation, and 10 reactive lymphoid hyperplasia). Complete clinicopathologic features of these patients were collected.
Project description:In 2013, Richards, et al. reported in Cancer Research that canine b-cell lymphomas could be subclassificed by gene expression profiling as ABC-like or GCB-like, similar to their human diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. This study, therefore, sought to classify the cell line CLBL1 as either GCB or ABC.
