Non-IG::MYC in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma confers variable genomic configurations and MYC transactivation potential. (PubMed, Leukemia)

Translocation breakpoint analyses of 8 cases by TLC-based NGS showed no obvious genomic configuration that enables MYC transactivation in 3 of the 4 cases with non-IG::MYC, while a typical promoter substitution or IGH super enhancer juxtaposition in the remaining cases. The findings potentially explain variable MYC expression in DLBCL with MYC translocation, and also bear practical implications in its routine assessment.

Deciphering the Clinical Benefit of Pola-R-CHP versus R-CHOP in Different Genetic Subtypes Beyond Cell of Origin in the POLARIX Study (ASH 2023)

Introduction: In the POLARIX study, polatuzumab vedotin in combination with rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone (Pola-R-CHP) demonstrated prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) vs rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) in patients (pts) with previously untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL; NCT03274492; Tilly et al. In this exploratory biomarker analysis, we recapitulated that pts with molecularly defined DLBCL subtypes, including EZB and MCD by LymphGen and DZsig+ by RNAseq, have poor outcomes with R-CHOP therapy. In pts with the EZB and MCD subtypes, Pola-R-CHP appeared to improve 2-year PFS compared with R-CHOP. Pts with GCB DLBCL who were DZsig+ significantly benefited from Pola-R-CHP vs R-CHOP.

Clinicopathologic and mutational profiles of primary breast diffuse large B cell lymphoma in a male patient: case report and literature review. (PubMed, World J Surg Oncol)

We reported a relatively rare PB-DLBCL in a male, non-GBC phenotype, dual-expression type. It is worth mentioning that this case had IgH/BCL6 fusion, nonsense mutations in TNFAIP3, frameshift mutations in PRDM1, and missense mutations in CREBBP, DTX1, and FOXO1. To the best of our knowledge, this case is the first report of genomic mutational profiles of PB-DLBCL in males.

Chromosomal Aberration t(14;17)(q32;q21) Simultaneously Activates HOXB5 and miR10a in Triple-Hit B-Cell Lymphoma. (PubMed, Biomedicines)

Functional investigations showed that HOXB5 represses the apoptotic driver BCL2L11 and promotes survival in the presence of etoposide, and that miR10a inhibits BCL6 and may thus play an oncogenic role in later stages of lymphomagenesis. Collectively, we characterize triple-hit B-cell line SC-1 and identify the aberrant expression of HOXB5 and miR10a, both novel oncogenes in B-cell lymphoma.

EZH2 inhibitor DZNep blocks cell proliferation of GCB-DLBCL cells by upregulating p16. (PubMed, Leuk Lymphoma)

These results suggest that DZNep may have potential as a novel therapeutic agent for DFLBL therapy. This agent may serve as a novel molecular agent to be applied to GCB DLBCL.

Comparison Between Integrated Genomic DNA/RNA Profiling and Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization in the Detection of MYC, BCL-2, and BCL-6 Gene Rearrangements in Large B-Cell Lymphomas: An Update (USCAP 2022)

CGP appears more sensitive than FISH in detection of IGH-BCL2 and IGH-MYC rearrangements. FISH testing is superior for detection of non-IGH-MYC. Neither FISH nor CGP detect all DHLs.

Molecular Characterization of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Associated to Hepatitis C Virus Infection (ASH 2021)

Twenty-seven pts (50%) received rituximab-enriched protocols, 23 pts (43%) were treated with chemotherapy alone, 1 pt (2%) with surgery alone, 3 pts (5%) were lost to follow up...The prevalence of the BN2 cluster and enrichment of mutations of genes involved in NOTCH pathway seem to indicate a preferential marginal-zone origin in HCV-positive DLBCL. In addition, our data confirm the absence of BCL2 translocation in this subset of DLBCL and show a high prevalence of mutated genes within the epigenetic and immune regulation pathways in HCV-positive DLBCL, pointing out their compelling role in the pathogenesis and suggesting potential implications for molecularly targeted therapies.
