Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), an aggressive cancer of the B cells, is the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) worldwide. In China, the cases of DLBCL increase yearly. C-X-C chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) has been implicated in the migration and trafficking of malignant B cells in several hematological malignancies, and only a few reports have been published on the role of CXCR4 in the metastasis of DLBCL. This review summarizes the relevant perspectives on the functional mechanism, prognostic significance, and therapeutic applications of the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis in DLBCL, in particular DLBCL with bone marrow involvement.

Introduction: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common lymphatic neoplasm, accounting for about 30–40% of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma cases. Objectives: DLBCL is a progressive disease with clinical, genetic and molecular heterogeneity. The prognostic value of B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) and Ki-67 in DLBCL patients has been controversial. Patients and Methods: In this study, we investigated the correlation of BCL2 and Ki-67 expression with clinical features such as age, gender, B symptoms and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels, subtypes of DLBCL, its staging and prognosis in 36 cases of DLBCL. The expression of BCL2 and Ki-67 was measured by immunohistochemistry. Results: There was no significant correlation between BCL2 expression and staging (P=0.082), however Ki-67 expression had a significant correlation with staging (P=0.002). There was no statistically significant correlation between BCL2 and Ki-67 with prognosis of the disease. We found a significant correlation between the germinal center B-cell (GCB) and non- GCB subtypes with BCL2 expression (P=0.024), since patients with non- GCB subtype had a higher BCL2 expression. Our study also demonstrated a significant relationship between BCL2 and Ki-67 expression, therefore, with the increase of the expression of a marker, another increases (P=0.045). Conclusion: BCL2 and Ki-67 expressions were not associated with prognosis. Overexpression of Ki-67 was associated with higher clinical stages. BCL2 expression is higher in non-GCB subtype of DLBCL. Therefore, our study shows that the subsequent studies of BCL2 and other biomarkers in the DLBCL should be based on the DLBCL subtypes.

AbstractBackgroundAn enhanced International Prognostic Index (NCCN-IPI) was built to better discriminate diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients in the rituximab era. However, there is an urgent need to identify novel valuable biomarkers in the context of targeted therapies, such as immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy.MethodsGene expression data and clinical information were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets. 73 immune-related hub genes in DLBCL patients with different IPI levels were identified by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), and 4 genes were selected to construct an IPI-based immune-related prognostic model (IPI-IPM). Afterward, the genetic, somatic mutational and molecular profiles of IPI-IPM subgroups were analyzed, as well as the potential clinical response of ICB in different IPI-IPM subgroups.ResultsThe IPI-IPM was constructed base on the expression of LCN2, CD5L, NLRP11 and SERPINB2, where high-risk patients had shorter overall survival (OS) than low-risk patients, consistent with the results in the GEO cohorts. The comprehensive results showed that a high IPI-IPM risk score was correlated with immune-related signaling pathways, high KMT2D and CD79B mutation rates, high infiltration of CD8+ T cells and macrophages (M1, M2), as well as up-regulation of inhibitory immune checkpoints including PD-L1, LAG3 and BTLA, indicating more potential response to ICB therapy.ConclusionThe IPI-IPM has independent prognostic significance for DLBCL patients, which provides an immunological perspective to elucidate the mechanisms on tumor progression and drug resistance, also sheds a light on developing immunotherapy for DLBCL.
