Project description:We performed a comprehensive genome-wide miRNA expression profiling (MEP) of extranodal nasal-type Natural Killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTL) using formalin fixed paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPE) (n=30) and NK cell lines (n=6) in comparison with normal NK cells, with the objective of understanding the pathogenetic role of miRNA deregulation in NKTL. Total RNA, including miRNA, were extracted using Ambion Recoverall Kit and profiled using Agilent human miRNA V2.

Project description:The addition of anti-PD-1 antibody to pegaspargase, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (P-GEMOX) showed promising activity as first-line therapy in patients with advanced extranodal natural killer/T cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTL) in our previous retrospective study. Here, we assessed the clinical outcomes and multi-omics tumor profiling of sintilimab plus P-GEMOX for patients with previously untreated advanced ENKTL in this phase 2 trial.
Project description:RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as clofarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of clofarabine and to see how well it works in treating patients with T-cell or natural killer-cell lymphoma that has relapsed or not responded to previous treatment.
Project description:RNA-Seq was performed in human natural killer/T Cell Lymphoma cell line NKYS ells treated with TOX2-shRNA1, -shRNA2 or with scrambel shRNA. Total RNA was extracted using RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen). The decreased TOX2 expression was confirmed by RT-PCR. The RNA library construction and RNA-sequencing services were provided by Novogene Singapore.
Project description:Natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL) is a malignant proliferation of CD56+/cytoCD3+ lymphocytes and constitutes a heterogeneous group of aggressive lymphomas prevalent in Asian and South American populations. Molecular pathogenesis of NKTCL remains largely elusive. Here we identified somatic mutations in RNA helicase gene DDX3X. Gene expression profiling revealed an association of DDX3X mutations with activation of NF-kB and MAPK pathways. Together, our work suggests the heterogeneity of gene mutational spectrum in NKTCL.
Project description:Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with decreased overall survival in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma treated with rituximab. Natural killer cell-mediated antibody-dependent cytotoxicity is one of the main mechanisms of action of rituximab, and it has been shown to be enhanced after in vivo vitamin D supplementation. We aimed to explore molecular mechanisms behind these findings using whole transcriptome analysis of natural killer cells after vitamin D supplementation
