Project description:This study performed an in-depth investigation of the immune-molecular profiles of an unique cohort of extranodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of the bone, with single primary bone (PB-)DLBCL and multiple localizations (polyostotic-DLBCL). A similar DLBCL cohort with nodal localizations only and germinal center B-cell (GCB) phenotype (nodal-DLBCL-GCB) was used as comparator. With comprehensive genomic mutational and gene gene-expression profiling (GEP), in total 103 DLBCLS were analyzed. Both molecular techniques revealed a shared mutational genomic and gene-expression transcriptomic profile for PB-DLBCL (n=51) and polyostotic-DLBCL (n=18), justifying a collective analysis as bone-DLBCL. Differential incidences of EZH2, IRF8, and HIST1H1E, and MYC mutations/rearrangements (p<0.05) confirmed the distinct oncogenic evolution of bone-DLBCL and nodal-DLBCL-GCB (n=34). Bone-DLBCL primarily exhibited an intermediate/rich immune TME GEP signature (p≤<0.005), based on published gene sets. Further unsupervised clustering identified two distinct groups, establishing a notable ‘immune-rich’ cluster dominated by bone-DLBCL (754%, p=0.0062). This immune-rich cluster demonstrated superior survival (p=≤0.0263) compared to the ‘immune-low’ cluster, which consisted mostly of nodal-DLBCL-GCB cases (61%). Gene-set enrichment analysis illustrated variations in cell proliferation and immune systemreceptor pathways for the immune-rich cluster (p<0.001), indicating a crucial role for the tumor microenvironment (TME) in disease behavior and outcome. Further supported by deconvolution applications (CIBERSORTx and single-sample gene-set enrichment analysis), The immune-rich cluster highlighted highlighting an abundantmainly regulatory T cells in immune-rich and cell proliferation in immune-low. infiltrate of NK/T, Treg, TFH and follicular dendritic cells (p<0.001). Conclusively, PB-DLBCL and polyostotic-DLBCL shared similar TME features and immune-molecular profiles. This study delineates tThe distinct immune-rich TME profile of bone-DLBCL, which is associated with a superior survival. These findings suggest that bone-DLBCL patients with immune-rich GEP might benefit from less intensive polychemotherapies and this could further shape targeted immunomodulatory strategies.

Project description:High expression of the FOXP1 transcription factor distinguishes the highly aggressive Activated B Cell (ABC) type of Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) from the more indolent Germinal Center (GCB) DLBCL subtype and is correlated with poor prognosis. A genetic or functional role for FOXP1 in lymphomagenesis and/or tumor maintenance, however, remains unknown. Here, we report that sustained expression of FOXP1 is necessary for ABC DLBCL cell line survival. Genome-wide transcript profiling reveals that FOXP1 acts directly and indirectly by enforcing expression of known ABC DLBCL hallmarks, including the classical NF-kappaB survival pathway. Our data further suggest that FOXP1 maintains the ABC subtype distinction by repressing gene expression programs dominant in GCB DLBCL and supports a model in which the target of ABC DLBCL transformation is a transitory cell type en route from the germinal center B cell to the terminally differentiated plasma cell.
Project description:Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common form of lymphoma in adults. The disease exhibits a striking heterogeneity in gene expression profiles and clinical outcomes, but its genetic causes remain to be fully defined. Through whole genome and exome sequencing, we characterized the genetic diversity of DLBCL. In all, we sequenced 73 DLBCL primary tumors (34 with matched normal DNA). Separately, we sequenced the exomes of 21 DLBCL cell lines. We identified 322 DLBCL cancer genes that were recurrently mutated in primary DLBCLs. We identified recurrent mutations implicating a number of known and not previously identified genes and pathways in DLBCL including those related to chromatin modification (ARID1A and MEF2B), NF-κB (CARD11 and TNFAIP3), PI3 kinase (PIK3CD, PIK3R1, and MTOR), B-cell lineage (IRF8, POU2F2, and GNA13), and WNT signaling (WIF1). We also experimentally validated a mutation in PIK3CD, a gene not previously implicated in lymphomas. The patterns of mutation demonstrated a classic long tail distribution with substantial variation of mutated genes from patient to patient and also between published studies. Thus, our study reveals the tremendous genetic heterogeneity that underlies lymphomas and highlights the need for personalized medicine approaches to treating these patients. 21 DLBCL cell lines and 70 DLBCL patient samples.
