Project description:Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, is clinically heterogeneous: 40% of patients respond well to current therapy and have prolonged survival, whereas the remainder succumb to the disease. We proposed that this variability in natural history reflects unrecognized molecular heterogeneity in the tumors. Using DNA microarrays, we have conducted a systematic characterization of gene expression in B-cell malignancies. Here we show that there is diversity in gene expression among the tumors of DLBCL patients, apparently reflecting the variation in tumor proliferation rate, host response and differentiation state of the tumor. We identified two molecularly distinct forms of DLBCL which had gene expression patterns indicative of different stages of B-cell differentiation. One type expressed genes characteristic of germinal center B cells ('germinal center B-like DLBCL'); the second type expressed genes normally induced during in vitro activation of peripheral blood B cells ('activated B-like DLBCL'). Patients with germinal center B-like DLBCL had a significantly better overall survival than those with activated B-like DLBCL. The molecular classification of tumors on the basis of gene expression can thus identify previously undetected and clinically significant subtypes of cancer.

Project description:Transformation of Follicular Lymphoma to Diffuse Large Cell Lymphoma: Alternative Patterns with Increased or Decreased Expression of c-myc and its Regulated genes The natural history of follicular lymphoma (FL) is frequently characterized by transformation to a more aggressive diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We compared the gene expression profiles between transformed DLBCL and their antecedent FL. No genes were observed to increase or decrease their expression in all the cases of histological transformation. However, two different gene expression profiles associated with the transformation process were defined, one in which c-myc and genes regulated by c-myc showed increased expression and one in which these same genes showed decreased expression. Further, there was a striking difference in gene expression profiles between transformed DLBCL and de novo DLBCL, since the gene expression profile of transformed DLBCL was more similar to their antecedent FL than to de novo DLBCL. The study demonstrates that transformation from FL to DLBCL can occur by alternative pathways and that transformed DLBCL and de novo DLBCL have very different gene expression profiles that may underlie the different clinical behaviors of these two types of morphologically similar lymphomas.

Project description:Molecular pathogenesis of posttransplant (PT) lymphoproliferative disorder, including the most prevalent diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), is largely unknown. We have recently showed that Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)+ and EBV- PT-DLBCL are biologically different, but gene expression profile of the latter lymphoma is similar to that of immunocompetent (IC) DLBCL. To validate these findings on a genomic level, we performed array CGH analysis of 21 EBV+ and 6 EBV- PT-DLBCL, and 11 control IC-DLBCL. Genomic and transcriptomic data were subsequently integrated. Notably, EBV+ and EBV- PT-DLBCL revealed only one shared recurrent imbalance, while EBV- PT-DLBCL displayed at least 10 aberrations recurrent in IC-DLBCL, among others gain of 3/3q and 18q, and loss of 6q23/TNFAIP3 and 9p21/CDKN2A. EBV+ PT-DLBCL showed distinct aberrations, including the most prevalent gain/amplification of 9p24.1 targeting PDCD1LG2/PDL2. Significant differential representation/expression of 3p13/FOXP1 and 9p21/CDKNA2 in EBV+ PT-DLBCL when compared with EBV- PT-/IC-DLBCL, suggests that the oncogene FOXP1 and the tumor suppressor gene CDKNA2 are not implicated in pathogenesis of EBV+ PT-DLBCL. In summary, genomic profiling of PT-/IC-DLBCL confirmed biological distinctness of EBV+ and EBV- PT-DLBCL, and relationship between EBV- PT-DLBCL and IC-DLBCL. These findings support the hypothesis that EBV- PT-DLBCL are coincidental lymphomas in transplant recipients

Project description:Trabectedin is a DNA-damaging agent with a peculiar mechanism of action; it traps the DNA repair machinery leading to DNA single- and double-strand breaks, particularly in BRCA1/2-deficient tumors. We hypothesized that trabectedin-induced DNA damage might activate PARP1 (a DNA-repair machinery key player), and consequently, PARP1 inhibition would perpetuate trabectedin-induced DNA damage. In several tumor histotypes, we demonstrated a different degree of synergism between trabectedin and PARP1 inhibitors (PARP1-Is). Independent of BRCA1/2 status, PARP1 expression dictated the degree of synergism. Namely, silenced PARP1 reduced trabectedin-PARP1-Is synergism, whereas overexpressed PARP1 increased combination efficacy. High-PARP1 expression and specific gene signatures associated with DNA damage response and repair (DDR-R) were predictive of trabectedin+PARP1-I synergy. These findings pave the way for the clinical development of this novel combination therapy, as well as evaluation of PARP1 expression and DDR-R signatures in tumor samples as predictive biomarkers of response

Project description:Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a heterogeneous disease, with at least one-third of its patients not responding to the current chemotherapy regimen, R-CHOP. By gene expression profiling, patients with DLBCL can be categorized into two clinically relevant subtypes: activated B-cell (ABC) DLBCL and germinal center B-cell (GCB). Patients with ABC DLBCL have a worse prognosis, and are defined by chronic, overactive signaling through the B-cell receptor and NF-κB pathways. We examined the effects of the Src family kinase (SFK) inhibitor dasatinib in a panel of ABC and GCB DLBCL cell lines, and found that the ABC DLBCL cell lines are much more sensitive to dasatinib than the GCB DLBCL cell lines. However, using multiplexed inhibitor bead coupled to mass spectrometry (MIB/MS) kinome profiling competition and western blot analysis, both subtypes display inhibition of the SFKs in response to dasatinib after both short- and long-term treatment. MIB/MS analyses revealed several cell cycle kinases, including CDK4, CDK6, and the Aurora kinases, are inhibited by dasatinib treatment in the ABC DLBCL subtype, but not in the GCB DLBCL subtype. The present findings have important implications for the clinical use of dasatinib for the treatment of ABC DLBCL, either alone or in combination with other agents.

Project description:Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma, including two main molecular subtypes termed activated B cell-like (ABC) and germinal center B cell-like (GCB). ABC DLBCL is less curable and identification of new molecular targets is needed for the development of effective therapeutic agents. Here, we focused on EGR1, a transcription factor that is regulated by the B cell receptor and JAK1/STAT3 signaling pathway in ABC DLBCL. ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq analyses revealed that gene regulation by EGR1 in ABC DLBCL accentuates multiple oncogenic pathways, including MYC and E2F, while dampening the lethal type I IFN pathway.

Project description:Recurrences of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL) result in significant morbidity and mortality, but their underlying genetic and biological mechanisms are unclear. Clonal relationship in DLBCL relapses so far is mostly addressed by the investigation of immunoglobulin (IG) rearrangements, therefore lacking deeper insights into genome-wide lymphoma evolution. We studied mutations and copy number aberrations in 20 paired relapsing and 20 non-relapsing DLBCL cases aiming to test the clonal relationship between primaries and relapses, to track tumors’ genetic evolution and to investigate the genetic background of DLBCL recurrence. Three clonally-unrelated DLBCL relapses were identified (15%). Also, two distinct patterns of genetic evolution in clonally-related relapses were detected: (1) early-divergent/branching evolution from a common progenitor in 6 patients (30%), and (2) late-divergent/linear progression of relapses in 11 patients (65%). Analysis of recurrent genetic events identified potential early drivers of lymphomagenesis (KMT2D, MYD88, CD79B and PIM1). The most frequent relapse-specific events were additional mutations in KMT2D and alterations of MEF2B. SOCS1 mutations were exclusive to non-relapsing DLBCL, whereas primaries of relapsing DLBCL more commonly displayed gains of 10p15.3-p12.1 containing the potential oncogenes PRKCQ, GATA3, MLLT10 and ABI1. Altogether, our study expands knowledge on clonal relationship, genetic evolution and mutational basis of DLBCL relapses.
