Transcription profiling of human pulmonary MALT lymphoma

ABSTRACT: Molecular pathways activated in MALT lymphoma are not well defined. In this study, we perform gene expression profiling on 35 pulmonary MALT lymphoma using fresh frozen biopsy samples Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was extracted from fresh frozen tisues of 35 newly diagnosed Pulmonary MALT, as defined by WHO classification, and hybridized to Affymetrix U133plus2 chip. Gene expression profile from other B and T cell malignancies and normal cellular and tissue counterpart were obtained from published dataset for comparison.

We conducted comprehensive gene expression profiling (GEP) of primary pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma (n = 33) and compared the results to GEP of other B- and T-cell lymphomas and normal lymphocytes to identify novel markers and deregulated pathways. MALT has a prominent T-cell signature and a marginal zone/memory B-cell profile. Four novel transcripts were specifically overexpressed in MALT, and 2 of these, MMP7 and SIGLEC6, were validated at the protein level. GEP a ...[more]

Project description:MALT lymphoma is characterized by t(11;18)(q21;q21)/API2-MALT1, t(1;14)(p22;q32)/BCL10-IGH and t(14;18)(q32;q21)/IGH-MALT1, which commonly activate the NF-ÎºB pathway. Gastric MALT lymphomas harboring such translocation do not respond to H. pylori eradication, while those without translocation can be cured by antibiotics. To understand the molecular mechanism of these different MALT lymphoma subgroups, we performed gene expression profiling analysis of 24 MALT lymphomas (15 translocation-positive, 9 translocation-negative). Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of the NF-ÎºB target genes and 4394 additional gene sets covering various cellular pathways, biological processes and molecular functions showed that translocation-positive MALT lymphomas are characterized by an enhanced expression of NF-ÎºB target genes, particularly TLR6, CCR2, CD69 and BCL2, while translocation-negative cases were featured by active inflammatory and immune responses, such as IL8, CD86, CD28 and ICOS. Separate analyses of the genes differentially expressed between translocation-positive and negative cases and measurement of gene ontology term in these differentially expressed genes by hypergeometric test reinforced the above findings by GSEA. Finally, expression of TLR6, in the presence of TLR2, enhanced both API2-MALT1 and BCL10 mediated NF-ÎºB activation in vitro. Our findings provide novel insights into the molecular mechanism of MALT lymphomas with and without translocation, potentially explaining their different clinical behaviors. This study compares MALT with other lymphomas, namely follicular lymphomas (FL) and mantle cell lymphomas (MCL), and investigates the molecular mechanisms of the lymphomagenesis between translocation-positive versus -negative MALT lymphoma cases in order to derive the pathways leading to MALT lymphoma pathogenesis. The study uses fresh frozen tissues from 24 MALT lymphoma cases with 7 FL and 7 MCL. Samples were run on the HG-U133A, HG-U133B, and HG-U133 plus2 GeneChips.
