Project description:Clonal heterogeneity in lymphoid malignancies has been recently reported in adult T-Cell lymphoma/leukemia, peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified, and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Our analysis was extended to other types of lymphoma including marginal zone lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We examined the results of array comparative genomic hybridization analysis for 332 cases to determine if clonal heterogeneity existed in each case. Results showed that frequencies of clonal heterogeneity varied from 25% to 69% among different types of lymphoma. Multivariate analysis indicated that MCL and DLBCL with clonal heterogeneity showed a significantly poorer prognosis. Interestingly, 9p21.3 (CDKN2A/ 2B) loss and 17p13 (TP53, ATP1B2, SAT2, SHBG) loss were common regions among various types of lymphoma with clonal heterogeneity, suggesting at least in part that loss of these genes may play a role in clonal heterogeneity. We analyzed previously untreated 332 cases of lymphoma (comprising 29 cases of mantle cell lymphoma, 117 cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), 79 cases of Follicular lymphoma, 24 cases of Burkitt lymphoma, 31 cases of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, and 51 peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS)).
Project description:29 cases of RCHOP treated DLBCL were profiled for gene expression. Different integrated annalysis were performed, including mirNA differential expression between cases classified according to the COO signature (see later) and correlation tests between gene and miRNA expression. After transcriptional profiling the cases were classified according to the cell of origin based on the classifier proposed by Wright et al (Wright G, Tan B, Rosenwald A, Hurt EH, Wiestner A, Staudt LM. A gene expression-based method to diagnose clinically distinct subgroups of diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2003;100:9991-6.).
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:Follicular lymphoma (FL) is one of the most common types of indolent B-cell lymphoma in Western countries. FL commonly transforms to more aggressive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) at reported frequencies between 15 - 60%. We have used microarray comparative genomic hybridisation (aCGH) at 1 Mb resolution to study copy number changes in paired tumor samples (primary FL and a subsequent tDLBCL) as well as de novo DLBCL cases to outline genetic mechanisms of transformation from follicular lymphoma to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Single hybridization per case. 21 FL, 31 transformed DLBCL, 29 de novo DLBCL (10 GC and 19 non-GC DLBCL). Tumor labelled with Cy5 and reference with Cy3. Mixture of 20 normal male or female genomic DNA was used in sex-mismatched hybridization.
