Project description:Gene expression profiling of biopsied human lymph node (LN) tissue comparing each patient sample against mobilised peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC), the reference channel Evaluate whether gene expression microarray can diagnose lymph node biopsies as reactive or as one of three main types of lymphoma: classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma (cHL), diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or follicular lymphoma (FL).

Two condition experiment, LN vs mobilised PBSC, 116 cases assayed, 1 replicate per array
Project description:Follicular lymphoma (FL) patient samples from lymph node biopsies were in co-culture or not with M2 macrophages (generated from healthy donors) for 48h We used microarrays to uncover the mechanisms underlying FL and macrophages crosstalk
Project description:<p>We performed exome sequencing of tumor (lymph node) and normal (skin) frozen tissue pairs from 24 patients in a discovery cohort with untreated follicular lymphoma (FL), relapsed FL, or transformed FL/iNHL (indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma). From 24 patients, 28 tumor samples were exome sequenced including 1 patient with both untreated and relapse samples and 3 patients with samples derived from both bulk lymph node and following flow-sorting to purify light chain-restricted CD19+ lymphoma cells. We developed a custom capture assay (NimbleGen) that targets 7.05 MB corresponding to the exons and splice sites of 1716 genes (WUSM-LP). The custom capture genes included somatic nucleotide variants (SNVs) identified in our exome discovery cohort (898 genes) or SNVs previously published to be recurrently mutated in B cell NHL (818 genes). This custom capture reagent was used to sequence additional FFPE samples (and corresponding normal tissue, when available) from patients with follicular lymphoma. This approach was used to identify recurrently mutated genes in pathways in FL.</p>
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE3646: Follicular lymphoma and normal lymphoid tissue comparisons GSE3647: Follicular lymphoma lymph node Abstract: Analysis of the patterns of gene expression in follicular lymphomas from 24 patients suggested that two groups of tumors might be distinguished. All patients, whose biopsies were obtained before any treatment, were treated with rituximab, a monoclonal antibody directed against the B cell antigen, CD20. Gene expression patterns in the tumors that subsequently failed to respond to rituximab appeared more similar to those of normal lymphoid tissues than to gene expression patterns of tumors from rituximab responders. These findings suggest the possibility that the response of follicular lymphoma to rituximab treatment may be predicted from the gene expression pattern of tumors. Refer to individual Series
