CD20 expression, TrkB activation and functional activity of diffuse large B cell lymphoma-derived small extracellular vesicles.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) including exosomes, carrying the CD20, could be involved in immunotherapy resistance in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We have reported endogenous brain-derived neurotrophic factor/TrkB (tropomyosin-related kinase B) survival axis in DLBCL. Here, we performed a comparative study of sEV production by germinal centre B cell (GCB) and activated B cell (ABC)-DLBCL cell lines, and analysed TrkB activation on this process.

Methods

GCB (SUDHL4 and SUDHL6) and ABC (OCI-LY3, OCI-LY10 and U2932) cell lines were used. sEVs were characterised using nanoparticle tracking analysis technology and western blot. CD20 content was also analysed by enzyme-linked immunoassay, and complement-dependent cytotoxicity of rituximab was investigate
