Abstract Gene expression profiling has provided new insights into the understanding of mature B cell neoplasms by relating each one to its normal counterpart, so that they can be to some extent classified according to the corresponding normal B-cell stage. Thus, diffuse large B cell (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL) have been related to a germinal center precursor whereas mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) or marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) are more likely to derive from naïve and memory B cell, respectively. However, little is still known about the physiopathology of B-cell lymphomas and particularly the deregulated pathways involved in their oncogenesis. To further investigate that point, we performed laser capture microdissection (LCM) of the three anatomic lymphoid compartments (i.e germinal center, mantle zone and marginal zone) taken from nine normal spleens and lymph nodes and magnetic cell separation of the four normal B cell subpopulations (i.e naïve B cells, centroblasts, centrocytes and memory B cells) purified from twelve normal tonsils for gene expression profiling by cDNA microarray. These molecular profiles have been compared to those of the four most frequent mature B cell neoplasms in adult (i.e DLBCL, FL, MZL and MCL), each one isolated from five previously untreated patients. Unsupervised analysis by hierarchical clustering of the normal anatomic and cellular populations could discriminate the germinal from the extra-germinal populations by genes involved in cell proliferation (e.g. E2F5, CCNB2, BUB1B and AURKB), DNA repair (e.g. PCNA and EXO1), cytokine secretion (e.g. IL8, IL10RB, IL4R and TGFBI) and apoptosis (e.g. CASP8, CASP10, BCL2 and FAS). Supervised analysis of the comparison between each B-cell lymphoma and its anatomic and cellular physiologic equivalent identified molecular deregulations concerning several genes’families characterizing the different histologic subtypes. Genes associated with cellular adhesion and ubiquitin cycle were significantly up-regulated in MCL (FCGBP, ITGAE, USP7, VCAM1) and MZL (CTGF, CDH1, ITGAE) whereas germinal center derived lymphomas (i.e. DLBCL and FL) mainly showed up-regulation of genes involved in cell proliferation (TNFRSF17, SEPT8) and immune response (FCER1G, XBP1, IL1RN). Few deregulated genes were common to the four subtypes, principally associated with cell proliferation (CYR61, GPNMB), cytosqueleton organization (EPB41L3) and carbohydrates metabolism (GNPDA1), suggesting potential similar oncogenic pathways. Those preliminary results are compatible with both subtype-specific and overall mechanisms of lympomagenesis and should be verified in a wider range of samples to confirm the oncogenic events involved in this heterogeneous disease.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common lymphoma worldwide and consists of a heterogeneous group of cancers classified together on the basis of shared morphology, immunophenotype, and aggressive clinical behavior. It is now recognized that this malignancy comprises at least two distinct molecular subtypes identified by gene expression profiling: the activated B-cell-like (ABC) and the germinal center B-cell-like (GCB) groups—the cell-of-origin (COO) classification. These two groups have different genetic mutation landscapes, pathobiology, and outcomes following treatment. Evidence is accumulating that novel agents have selective activity in one or the other COO group, making COO a predictive biomarker. Thus, there is now a pressing need for accurate and robust methods to assign COO, to support clinical trials, and ultimately guide treatment decisions for patients. The “gold standard” methods for COO are based on gene expression profiling (GEP) of RNA from fresh frozen tissue using microarray technology, which is an impractical solution when formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPET) biopsies are the standard diagnostic material. This review outlines the history of the COO classification before examining the practical implementation of COO assays applicable to FFPET biopsies. The immunohistochemistry (IHC)-based algorithms and gene expression–based assays suitable for the highly degraded RNA from FFPET are discussed. Finally, the technical and practical challenges that still need to be addressed are outlined before robust gene expression–based assays are used in the routine management of patients with DLBCL.

Gene expression profiling has revealed that diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) consists of at least two distinct diseases. Patients with one DLBCL subtype, termed activated B cell–like (ABC) DLBCL, have a distinctly inferior prognosis. An untapped potential of gene expression profiling is its ability to identify pathogenic signaling pathways in cancer that are amenable to therapeutic attack. The gene expression profiles of ABC DLBCLs were notable for the high expression of target genes of the nuclear factor (NF)-κB transcription factors, raising the possibility that constitutive activity of the NF-κB pathway may contribute to the poor prognosis of these patients. Two cell line models of ABC DLBCL had high nuclear NF-κB DNA binding activity, constitutive IκB kinase (IKK) activity, and rapid IκBα degradation that was not seen in cell lines representing the other DLBCL subtype, germinal center B-like (GCB) DLBCL. Retroviral transduction of a super-repressor form of IκBα or dominant negative forms of IKKβ was toxic to ABC DLBCL cells but not GCB DLBCL cells. DNA content analysis showed that NF-κB inhibition caused both cell death and G1-phase growth arrest. These findings establish the NF-κB pathway as a new molecular target for drug development in the most clinically intractable subtype of DLBCL and demonstrate that the two DLBCL subtypes defined by gene expression profiling utilize distinct pathogenetic mechanisms.

Abstract Abstract 4164 Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma and is composed of heterogeneous groups of lymphoma with pathophysiological, genetic and clinical features. Gene expression profiling identified two distinct forms of DLBCL: activated B cell-like (ABC) and germinal center B-cell-like (GCB) types. ABC DLBCL shows more activated phenotype characterized with high activity of the NF-kappa B pathway and worse prognosis than GCB DLBCL. CD5-positive (CD5+) DLBCL comprises 5 to 10% of DLBCL and is one of the immunohistochemical subgroups in the 2008 WHO classification. It shows many distinct clinical characteristics with elderly onset, advanced stage at diagnosis, high serum lactate dehydrogenase level and frequent involvement of extranodal sites. Despite the use of rituximab, CD5+ DLBCL shows a poor prognosis and high incidence of central nervous system (CNS) relapse. More than 80% of patients with CD5+ DLBCL are classified as non-GCB subgroup by Hans' method; however, few molecular studies have been reported. To clarify the difference between CD5+ DLBCL and CD5-negative (CD5-) DLBCL in the gene expression profile, total RNA from 90 patients with de novo DLBCL including 33 CD5+ DLBCLs and 57 CD5- DLBCLs was examined using Agilent 44K human oligo-microarrays (Agilent 4112F). The expression of CD5 in tumor cells was confirmed by means of immunohistochemistry using frozen sections. Cases of primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma, intravascular large B-cell lymphoma and primary DLBCL of the CNS were excluded from the present study. Supervised hierarchical clustering of the expression data could separate the DLBCL cases into the two groups, CD5+ DLBCL and CD5- DLBCL. A signature gene set supervised by CD5 expression included some of the same genes (SH3BP5, CCND2, LMO2) in the predictor gene set to discriminate between GCB and ABC DLBCLs. To classify the difference between CD5+ ABC DLBCL and CD5- ABC DLBCL in the gene expression profile, the 90 DLBCLs were analyzed by the Rosenwald's gene set (NEJM, 2002). Those cases were separated with 78 ABC DLBCLs and 12 GCB DLBCLs. Incidence of CD5+ cases was 42% (33/78) in ABC DLBCLs and 0% in GCB DLBCLs. A classifier based on gene expression at supervised analysis also correctly identified CD5 expression in ABC DLBCL. Signature genes to distinguish between CD5+ ABC DLBCL and CD5- ABC DLBCL were as follows: SNAP25, SYCP3, CCNA1, MAPK4, CCNA1, LMO3, NLGN3, GRIN2A, AQP4, FGFR2, NEUROD1, KL, FGF1, SYT5, etc., were overexpressed in CD5+ ABC DLBCL, and CYP4Z1, MDM2, IL7R, GRLF1, TNFRSF9, CD1A etc., were overexpressed in CD5- ABC DLBCL. Enriched Gene Ontology (GO) categories in CD5+ ABC DLBCL were synapse, multicellular organismal process, fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling pathway, cell projection, alcohol dehydrogenase activity and glucuronosyltransferase activity. Among them, synapse was the top GO category (P=6.1E-05). In conclusion, our current study confirmed that most of CD5+ DLBCLs are classified as ABC DLBCL by gene expression profiling. Our results suggest that neurological component- and function-related genes in the CD5+ ABC DLBCL signature gene set may be related to the high frequency of CNS relapse in CD5+ DLBCL.
