Proteomics Identifies Circulating TIMP-1 as a Prognostic Biomarker for Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

ABSTRACT: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a heterogeneous disease, although disease stratification using in-depth plasma proteomics has not been performed to date. By measuring more than 1000 proteins in the plasma of 147 DLBCL patients using data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry and antibody array, DLBCL patients were classified into four proteomic subtypes (PS-I-IV). Patients with the PS-IV subtype and worst prognosis had increased levels of proteins involved in inflammation, including a high expression of metalloproteinase inhibitor-1 (TIMP-1) that was associated with poor survival across two validation cohorts (n = 180). Notably, the combination of TIMP-1 with the international prognostic index (IPI) identified 64.00% to 88.24% of relapsed and 65.00% to 80.49% of deceased patie
