Project description:Gene expression profiling of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)-derived cell lines exposed to the pan-PIM inhibitor MEN1703 was performed to investigate transcriptional consequences of PIM kinase inhibition in DLBCL and to identify treatment-related changes in the signalling pathways.
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:Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is currently divided into three main molecular subtypes, defined by gene expression profiling (GEP): Germinal Center B-cell like (GCB), Activated B-Cell like (ABC), and Primary Mediastinal B-cell Lymphoma (PMBL). DLBCL subtypes were determined according to patients' gene expression profiles.
Project description:To understand the biological function of GSTT1 deletion in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), we identified genes that are expressed differently in lymph node tissues from DLBCL patients collected at diagnosis with GSTT1 deletion (4 cases) compared to those without GSTT1 deletion (4 cases).
Project description:JAK kinases classically signal by activating STAT transcription factors, but can also regulate gene expression by epigenetically phosphorylating histone H3 on tyrosine 41 (H3Y41-P). In diffuse large B cell lymphomas (DLBCL), JAK signaling is a feature of the ABC subtype and is triggered by autocrine production of IL-6 and IL-10. Whether this signaling involves STAT activation, epigenetic modification of chromatin or both mechanisms is unknown. Here we use genetic and pharmacological inhibition to show that JAK1 signaling sustains the survival of ABC DLBCL cells. While STAT3 contributed to the survival of ABC DLBCL cell lines, forced STAT3 activity could not protect these cells from death following JAK1 inhibition, suggesting epigenetic JAK1 action. JAK1 regulated the expression of nearly 3,000 genes in ABC DLBCL cells, and the chromatin surrounding many of these genes was modified by H3Y41-P marks that were diminished by JAK1 inhibition. These JAK1 epigenetic target genes encode important regulators of ABC DLBCL proliferation and survival, including IRF4, MYD88 and MYC. A small molecule JAK1 inhibitor cooperated with the BTK inhibitor ibrutinib in reducing IRF4 levels and acted synergistically to kill ABC DLBCL cells, suggesting that this combination should be evaluated in clinical trials.
Project description:The aggressive B cell lymphoma diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a heterogeneous entity that requires more precise monitoring and prognosis molecular tools. Extracellular vesicles that are secreted by all cell types are currently recognized as serving as a proxy for the cell of origin. Utilizing cutting-edge mass spectrometry, the current study described and assessed the plasma small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) proteome's diagnostic and prognostic potential. The presence of DLBCL has a significant impact on the sEV proteome, and several proteins substantially correlate with DLBCL.Nevertheless, no proteins that highly correlated with non-GCB or GCB were found.
Project description:We performed a veterinary clinical oncology trial in client-owned dogs to determine if immune modulating drugs could be combined in rational approaches to treat spontaneous canine diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
