Project description:We performed a veterinary clinical oncology trial in client-owned dogs to determine if immune modulating drugs could be combined in rational approaches to treat spontaneous canine diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
Project description:Primary nodal marginal B cell lymphoma (nMZoL) is rare and is histologically very variable. Its distinction from nodal diffuse large B cell lymphoma (nDLBCL) is often difficult due to the absence of specific markers for marginal zone lymphomas in general. Using a comprehensive cohort of nMZoL and a control cohort of nDLBCL we conducted a methylome analysis on subgroups of both.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE21846: Transcriptional profiling of 29 cases of diffuse large B cell lymphoma GSE21847: miRNA profiling of 29 cases of diffuse large B cell lymphoma GSE21848: miRNA profiling of 36 cases of diffuse large B cell lymphoma Refer to individual Series
Project description:Transformation of Follicular Lymphoma to Diffuse Large Cell Lymphoma: Alternative Patterns with Increased or Decreased Expression of c-myc and its Regulated genes The natural history of follicular lymphoma (FL) is frequently characterized by transformation to a more aggressive diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We compared the gene expression profiles between transformed DLBCL and their antecedent FL. No genes were observed to increase or decrease their expression in all the cases of histological transformation. However, two different gene expression profiles associated with the transformation process were defined, one in which c-myc and genes regulated by c-myc showed increased expression and one in which these same genes showed decreased expression. Further, there was a striking difference in gene expression profiles between transformed DLBCL and de novo DLBCL, since the gene expression profile of transformed DLBCL was more similar to their antecedent FL than to de novo DLBCL. The study demonstrates that transformation from FL to DLBCL can occur by alternative pathways and that transformed DLBCL and de novo DLBCL have very different gene expression profiles that may underlie the different clinical behaviors of these two types of morphologically similar lymphomas.
