Perrone G, Rigacci L, Roviello G, Landini I, Fabbri A, Iovino L, Puccini B, Cencini E, Orciuolo E, Bocchia M, Bosi A, Mini E, Nobili S. Validation of single nucleotide polymorphisms potentially related to R-CHOP resistance in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients. CANCER DRUG RESISTANCE (ALHAMBRA, CALIF.) 2024; 7:21. [PMID: 38835350 PMCID: PMC11149109 DOI: 10.20517/cdr.2024.10] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024]
Abstract
Aim: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Despite the availability of clinical and molecular algorithms applied for the prediction of prognosis, in up to 30%-40% of patients, intrinsic or acquired drug resistance occurs. Constitutional genetics may help to predict R-CHOP resistance. This study aimed to validate previously identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the literature as potential predictors of R-CHOP resistance in DLBCL patients, SNPs. Methods: Twenty SNPs, involved in R-CHOP pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics or other pathobiological processes, were investigated in 185 stage I-IV DLBCL patients included in a multi-institution pharmacogenetic study to validate their previously identified correlations with resistance to R-CHOP. Results: Correlations between rs2010963 (VEGFA gene) and sex (P = 0.046), and rs1625895 (TP53 gene) and stage (P = 0.003) were shown. After multivariate analyses, a concordant effect (i.e., increased risk of disease progression and death) was observed for rs1883112 (NCF4 gene) and rs1800871 (IL10 gene). When patients were grouped according to the revised International Prognostic Index (R-IPI), both these SNPs further discriminated progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of the R-IPI-1-2 subgroup. Overall, patients harboring the rare allele showed shorter PFS and OS compared with wild-type patients. Conclusions: Two out of the 20 study SNPs were validated. Thus, these results support the role of previously identified rs1883112 and rs1800871 in predicting DLBCL resistance to R-CHOP and highlight their ability to further discriminate the prognosis of R-IPI-1-2 patients. These data point to the need to also focus on host genetics for a more comprehensive assessment of DLBCL patient outcomes in future prospective trials.

Abstract
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a severe non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Life expectancy has improved with rituximab, but cause-specific mortality data is lacking. Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database to study 27,449 individuals aged 20-74 years diagnosed with primary DLBCL who received chemotherapy between 2000 and 2019, we calculated standardized mortality rate (SMR) and excess absolute risk (EAR) and examined the connection between age, sex, time after diagnosis, and cause of death. Based on 12,205 deaths, 68.7% were due to lymphoma, 20.1% non-cancer causes, and 11.2% other cancers. Non-cancer mortality rates (SMR 1.2; EAR, 21.5) increased with DLBCL compared to the general population. The leading non-cancer death causes were cardiovascular (EAR, 22.6; SMR, 1.6) and infectious (EAR, 9.0; SMR, 2.9) diseases with DLBCL. Risks for non-cancer death and solid neoplasms are highest within the first diagnosis year, then decrease. Among socioeconomic factors, being white, being married, and having a higher income were favorable factors for reducing non-cancer mortality. To improve survival, close surveillance, assessment of risk factors, and early intervention are needed.

Abstract
Background S100A8, a calcium-binding protein belonging to the S100 family, is involved in immune responses and multiple tumor pathogens. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is one of the most common types of B-cell lymphoma and remains incurable in 40% of patients. However, the role of S100A8 and its regulation of the immune response in DLBCL remain unclear. Methods The differential expression of S100A8 was identified via the GEO and TCGA databases. The prognostic role of S100A8 in DLBCL was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier curve. The function enrichment of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) was explored through GO, KEGG, GSEA, and PPI analysis. In our cohort, the expression of S100A8 was verified. Meanwhile, the biological function of S100A8 was applied after the inhibition of S100A8 in an in vitro experiment. The association between S100A8 and immune cell infiltration and treatment response in DLBCL was analyzed. Results S100A8 was significantly overexpressed and related to a poor prognosis in DLBCL patients. Function enrichment analysis revealed that DEGs were mainly enriched in the IL-17 signaling pathway. Our cohort also verified this point. In vitro experiments suggested that inhibition of S100A8 should promote cell apoptosis and suppress tumor growth. Single-cell RNA sequence analysis indicated that S100A8 might be associated with features of the tumor microenvironment (TME), and immune infiltration analyses discovered that S100A8 expression was involved in TME. In terms of drug screening, we predicted that many drugs were associated with preferable sensitivity. Conclusion Elevated S100A8 expression is associated with a poor prognosis and immune infiltration in DLBCL. Inhibition of S100A8 could promote cell apoptosis and suppress tumor growth. Meanwhile, S100A8 has the potential to be a promising immunotherapeutic target for patients with DLBCL.

Abstract
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of lymphoma. Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles have excellent anti-tumor properties in the biomedical field. The present study aimed to explore the underlying mechanism by which ZnO nanoparticles induce toxicity in DLBCL cells (U2932) via the PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy pathway. After U2932 cells were exposed to various concentrations of ZnO nanoparticles, the cell survival rate, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, cell cycle arrest, and changes in the expression of PINK1, Parkin, P62, and LC3 were monitored. Moreover, we investigated monodansylcadaverine (MDC) fluorescence intensity and autophagosome and further validated the results using the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA). The results showed that ZnO nanoparticles could effectively inhibit the proliferation of U2932 cells and induce cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phases. Moreover, ZnO nanoparticles significantly increased ROS production, MDC fluorescence intensity, autophagosome formation, and the expression of PINK1, Parkin, and LC3, and decreased the expression of P62 in U2932 cells. In contrast, the autophagy level was reduced after the intervention of the 3-MA. Overall, ZnO nanoparticles can trigger PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy signaling in U2932 cells, which may be a potential therapeutic approach for DLBCL.

Abstract
R-CHOP standard chemotherapy is successful in about 60% of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients. Unresponsive patients have a poor prognosis, and predictive biomarkers of response to R-CHOP are lacking. We conducted the first prospective GWAS study aimed at exploring constitutional biomarkers predictive of R-CHOP efficacy and toxicity. Overall, 216 any-stage chemonaïve DLBCL patients candidate to R-CHOP were enrolled. The median age of the 185 eligible patients was 59.2 years, 49.7% were women and 45.4% were stage I-II patients. According to the Revised International Prognostic Index (R-IPI), 14.1%, 56.8% and 29.2% were in the very good, good and poor prognosis groups, respectively. Of the patients, 85.9% produced a complete response. Highly significant associations (i.e., p < 5 × 10-8) were found between progression-free survival (PFS) and six SNPs (i.e., rs116665727, rs1607795, rs75614943, rs77241831, rs117500207, rs78466241). Additionally, five SNPs (i.e., rs74832512, rs117500207, rs35789195, rs11721010, rs12356569) were highly associated with overall survival (OS). Wild-type patients showed a prolonged PFS or OS compared with patients carrying deleterious alleles (p < 0.001). No association with the adequate significant threshold was observed between SNPs and the objective response or toxicity. In the future, these SNPs, alone or in combination, after a proper validation in an independent cohort, could contribute to improving the prediction of R-CHOP response.

Abstract
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a highly heterogeneous malignancy. Epidemiologically, the incidence of DLBCL is higher in men, and the female sex is a favorable prognostic factor, which can be explained by estrogen. This study aimed to explore the potential targets of the estrogen receptor (ER) signaling pathway and provide a meaningful way to treat DLBCL patients. Datasets were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Representative gene sets estrogen receptor pathways, and growth regulatory pathways were identified based on Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) analysis. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) were used for function and pathway analysis. STRING and Cytoscape were used to construct the interaction network, and the MCODE plug-in performed the module analysis. GEPIA, TCGA, and LOGpc databases were used for expression and predictive analysis. The Human Protein Atlas (HPA) database was used to analyze the protein expression levels, cBioPortal was used to explore genetic alterations, and ROC analysis and prognostic assessment were used to predict the diagnostic value of genes. Finally, BJAB cells were treated with ER inhibitor fulvestrant and specific shRNA, and the expression of hub genes was verified by RT-qPCR. We identified 81 overlapping DEGs and CDC6, CDC20, KIF20A, STIL, and TOP2A as novel biomarkers affecting the prognosis of DLBCL. In addition, the STAT and KRAS pathways are considered potential growth regulatory pathways. These results hold promise for new avenues for the treatment of DLBCL patients.

Abstract
To investigate the effect of Apatinib (an inhibitor targeting VEGFR‐2) enhances chemosensitivity of ABT‐199 on diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Viability assay and flow cytometric assay for determining apoptosis, cell cycle, mitochondrial membrane potential, reactive oxygen species and immunoblotting were used to explore the combination effect in DLBCL cell lines, DLBCL patient samples, and DLBCL mouse models. RNA sequencing assay helped identify mechanisms of ABT‐199 plus Apatinib. The results show that ABT‐199 combined with Apatinib inhibited cell proliferation, reduced colony‐forming capacity, and induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in DLBCL cells. Mechanistically, the combination therapy inhibited tumour cell growth and promoted tumour cell death by regulating EDN1 and MAPK‐related pathways and activating the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. The effect of the combination therapy was also validated in primary DLBCL blasts and xenograft mouse models. Our findings indicate that Apatinib enhances the chemosensitivity of ABT‐199 and might serve as a promising therapeutic strategy for DLBCL.

Abstract
Background: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a genetically heterogeneous disease that can have profound differences in survival outcomes. A variety of powerful prognostic factors and models have been constructed; however, the development of more accurate prognosis prediction and targeted treatment for DLBCL still faces challenges. An explosion of research on super-enhancer (SE)–associated genes provide the possibility to use in prognostication for cancer patients. Here, we aimed to establish a novel effective prognostic model using SE-associated genes from DLBCL. Methods: A total of 1,105 DLBCL patients from the Gene Expression Omnibus database were included in this study and were divided into a training set and a validation set. A total of 11 SE-associated genes (BCL2, SPAG16, PXK, BTG1, LRRC37A2, EXT1, TGFBR2, ANKRD12, MYCBP2, PAX5, and MYC) were initially screened and identified by the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) penalized Cox regression, univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis. Finally, a risk score model based on these 11 genes was constructed. Results: Kaplan–Meier (K–M) curves showed that the low-risk group appeared to have better clinical survival outcomes. The excellent performance of the model was determined via time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. A nomogram based on the polygenic risk score was further established to promote reliable prognostic prediction. This study proposed that the SE-associated-gene risk signature can effectively predict the response to chemotherapy in DLBCL patients. Conclusion: A novel and reliable SE-associated-gene signature that can effectively classify DLBCL patients into high-risk and low-risk groups in terms of overall survival was developed, which may assist clinicians in the treatment of DLBCL.
