Targetable vulnerability of deregulated FOXM1/PLK1 signaling axis in diffuse large B cell lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: FOXM1 is a transcription factor that controls cell cycle regulation, cell proliferation, and differentiation. Overexpression of FOXM1 has been implicated in various cancer types. However, the activation status and functional significance of FOXM1 in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) have not been well investigated. Using proteomic approaches, we discovered that the protein expression levels of FOXM1 and PLK1 were positively correlated in DLBCL cell lines and primary DLBCL. Expression levels of FOXM1 and PLK1 mRNAs were also significantly higher in DLBCL than in normal human B cells and could predict poor prognosis of DLBCL, particularly in patients with germinal center B cell-like (GCB) DLBCL. Furthermore, proteomic studies defined a FOXM1-PLK1 signature that consisted of
