RESUMO
The clinical implications of CSF-ctDNA positivity in newly diagnosed diffuse large B cell lymphoma (ND-DLBCL) remains largely unexplored. One hundred ND-DLBCL patients were consecutively enrolled as training cohort and another 26 ND-DLBCL patients were prospectively enrolled in validation cohort. CSF-ctDNA positivity (CSF(+)) was identified in 25 patients (25.0%) in the training cohort and 7 patients (26.9%) in the validation cohort, extremely higher than CNS involvement rate detected by conventional methods. Patients with mutations of CARD11, JAK2, ID3, and PLCG2 were more predominant with CSF(+) while FAT4 mutations were negatively correlated with CSF(+). The downregulation of PI3K-AKT signaling, focal adhesion, actin cytoskeleton, and tight junction pathways were enriched in CSF(+) ND-DLBCL. Furthermore, pretreatment CSF(+) was significantly associated with poor outcomes. Three risk factors, including high CSF protein level, high plasma ctDNA burden, and involvement of high-risk sites were used to predict the risk of CSF(+) in ND-DLBCL. The sensitivity and specificity of pretreatment CSF-ctDNA to predict CNS relapse were 100% and 77.3%. Taken together, we firstly present the prevalence and the genomic and transcriptomic landscape for CSF-ctDNA(+) DLBCL and highlight the importance of CSF-ctDNA as a noninvasive biomarker in detecting and monitoring of CSF infiltration and predicting CNS relapse in DLBCL.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (EBV+ DLBCL) predicts poor prognosis and CD30 expression aggravates the worse consequences. Here, we reported that CD30 positivity was an independent prognostic indicator in EBV+ DLBCL patients in a retrospective cohort study. We harnessed CRISPR/Cas9 editing to engineer the first loss-of-function models of CD30 deficiency to identify that CD30 was critical for EBV+ DLBCL growth and survival. We established a pathway that EBV infection mediated CD30 expression through EBV-encoded latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1), which involved NF-κB signaling. CRISPR CD30 knockout significantly repressed BCL2 interacting protein 3 (BNIP3) expression and co-IP assay indicated a binding between CD30 and BNIP3. Moreover, silencing of CD30 induced mitochondrial dysfunction and suppressed mitophagy, resulting in the accumulation of damaged mitochondria by depressing BNIP3 expression. Additionally, CRISPR BNIP3 knockout caused proliferation defects and increased sensitivity to apoptosis. All the findings reveal a strong relationship between mitophagy and adverse prognosis of EBV+ DLBCL and discover a new regulatory mechanism of BNIP3-mediated mitophagy, which may help develop effective treatment regimens with anti-CD30 antibody brentuximab vedotin to improve the prognosis of CD30+ EBV+ DLBCL patients.

EBV-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (EBV+ DLBCL-NOS), is an EBV-positive clonal B-cell lymphoid proliferation and circulating EBV-DNA is a great indicator for prognosis among EBV associated disease. In this retrospective study, we report 66 EBV+ DLBCL cases among 2137 DLBCL-NOS cases diagnosed from 2013 to 2021 (prevalence of 6.0%). After a median follow-up of 27 months, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) at 2 years were 39.5% ± 6.2% and 53.6% ± 6.4%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that only the biomarker of the positivity of post treatment EBV-DNA had a borderline correlation with shorter PFS and OS (PFS: P = 0.053; OS: P = 0.065). Patients were divided into three subgroups according to dynamic changes of EBV-DNA status: EBV-DNA persistently negative group, EBV-DNA persistently positive group, and EBV-DNA transformed from positive to negative group; among the three groups, patients of the persistently positive group had worst PFS and OS (P = 0.0527 and P = 0.0139, respectively). Decline in EBV copies correlated significantly with treatment response as well. In conclusion, circulating EBV-DNA level played a vital role in prognostic and monitoring marker for EBV+ DLBCL-NOS.

Lymphocyte proliferation and tumourigenesis are dependent on nucleotide synthesis to support DNA, RNA and phospholipid synthesis. Here, we identified that reprogramming of nucleotide metabolism as an important factor divides mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) into two groups with different transcriptional signalling pathways and varying prognoses. We establish a nucleotide metabolism-related prognostic model that includes six genes with different regression coefficients, which significantly predicts prognosis for MCL patients (p < 0.0001). Of these six genes, de novo CTP synthesis pathway enzyme CTPS1 whose inhibitor (STP938) is already in clinical trials for relapsed/refractory lymphomas (NCT05463263) has the highest regression coefficient. An increase in CTPS1 expression predicts adverse overall survival and progression-free survival with independent prognostic significance in 105 primary MCL samples and GEO database (GSE93291). CRISPR CTPS1 knockout causes DNA damage and proliferation defects in MCL. Additionally, MYC positively regulates CTPS1 expression, and TP53-aberrant and ibrutinib-resistant MCL cells also rely on cytidine metabolism. Furthermore, besides the obvious decreased CTP pool caused by CTPS1 deficiency, CTPS1 inhibition may also induce immune-related responses via activating dsDNA-cGAS-STING pathway, which plays a crucial role in impeding tumour growth in MCL patients.

The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of low T3 syndrome in follicular lymphoma (FL). A total of 221 FL patients with detailed serum thyroid hormone levels and other complete clinical data were enrolled. Baseline features associated with low T3 syndrome were analyzed and balanced by propensity score matching. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to determine independent risk factors for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to assess the predictive accuracy of FL international prognostic index FLIPI-1/FLIPI-2 and low T3 syndrome. A total of 22 patients (10.0%) had low T3 syndrome at diagnosis, which was associated with poor PFS and OS in the rituximab era. It is an independent prognostic factor for PFS and OS. Low T3 syndrome and FLIPI-1/FLIPI-2 significantly increased the AUC of PFS and OS compared to FLIPI-1/FLIPI-2 alone. Low T3 is a risk factor for POD24. In conclusion, low T3 syndrome may be a good candidate for predicting the prognosis of CLL in future clinical practice. Our study demonstrates that low T3 syndrome is associated with poorer survival outcomes in FL patients.

Extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTL) is an aggressive and heterogeneous disease. With standard treatment containing pegaspargase-based regimen, patients who were resistant to pegaspargase have rapidly disease progression and worse prognosis. Thus, there is an urgent requirement for constructing ENKTL cell line model to explore the mechanism of pegaspargase resistance and new molecular targeted drugs to improve prognosis. We report here on the establishment of a novel ENKTL cell line, NK-NJ. The cells were isolated from a 52-year-old Chinese man who was diagnosed with relapse/refractory (R/R) ENKTL and grow steadily in vitro. The NK-NJ cells express CD56, CD2, CD45RA with no expression of CD3, CD16, CD57, CD4, CD8, CD26, CD28, CD5, TCR, CD45RO and CD161 and showed a TCR gene unrearrangement, which suggested an origin in the NK-lineage but not T-lineage. The immunophenotypes of NK-NJ cells were consistent with the patient. Moreover, short tandem repeat (STR) profiling results also demonstrated that NK-NJ originated from the patient. NK-NJ showed complex karyotype. Target sequencing method indicated that the main mutation genes of the first-time disease progression of lymph nodal were the same as main mutation genes of the primary nasal lesions. Moreover, NK-NJ was recognized as latency I with EBER positivity and carried high EBV-DNA viral load. The chemosensitivity results suggested synthetic lethality of epigenetic drugs and PD-1 inhibitor for ENKTL patients by reasons of epigenetic drugs promoting PD-L1 expression. In conclusion, we established a new ENKTL cell line in the era of new targeted drugs. We hope that this cell line can help to further understand underlying pathogenesis of ENKTL especially for advanced ENKTL and the functional role of EBV in ENKTL pathogenetic process.
