Revealing the heterogeneity of treatment resistance in less-defined subtype diffuse large B cell lymphoma patients by integrating programmed cell death patterns and liquid biopsy.

Precision medicine in less-defined subtype diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) remains a challenge due to the heterogeneous nature of the disease. Programmed cell death (PCD) pathways are crucial in the advancement of lymphoma and serve as significant prognostic markers for individuals afflicted with lymphoid cancers. To identify robust prognostic biomarkers that can guide personalized management for less-defined subtype DLBCL patients, we integrated multi-omics data derived from 339 standard R-CHOP-treated patients diagnosed with less-defined subtype DLBCL from three independent cohorts.

The prognostic significance of MYC/BCL2 double expression in DLBCL in the genetic classification era.

Double expression (DE) is a World Health Organization-recognized adverse prognostic factor in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, the prognostic value of DE in the genetic subtyping era and potential mechanisms remain to be explored. We enrolled 246 DLBCL patients diagnosed between December 2021 and September 2023 in a Jiangsu Province Hospital cohort and included 930 DLBCL patients from three published studies in an external cohort.

Identify truly high-risk TP53-mutated diffuse large B cell lymphoma patients and explore the underlying biological mechanisms.

TP53 mutation (TP53-mut) correlates with inferior survival in many cancers, whereas its prognostic role in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is still in controversy. Therefore, more precise risk stratification needs to be further explored for TP53-mut DLBCL patients. A set of 2637 DLBCL cases from multiple cohorts, was enrolled in our analysis.

Analysis of CCND3 mutations in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), accounts for 30-40% of newly diagnosed lymphomas, has an overall cure rate of approximately 60%. Despite previous reports suggesting a negative prognostic association between CCND3 mutations and Burkitt lymphoma, their prognostic implications in DLBCL remain controversial. To investigate this, we evaluated CCND3 mutation status in 2059 DLBCL patient samples from four database (integrated cohort) and additional 167 DLBCL patient samples in our center (JSPH cohort).

Clinical implications of CSF-ctDNA positivity in newly diagnosed diffuse large B cell lymphoma.

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.

PRMT5 activates lipid metabolic reprogramming via MYC contributing to the growth and survival of mantle cell lymphoma.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an incurable and aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma. Increased lipid uptake, storage, and lipogenesis occur in a variety of cancers and contribute to rapid tumor growth. However, no data has been explored for the roles of lipid metabolism reprogramming in MCL.

Cause-specific mortality in a population-level cohort of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma following chemotherapy in the early 21st century.

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.

CD30 protects EBV-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cells against mitochondrial dysfunction through BNIP3-mediated mitophagy.

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.

Investigation of fatty acid metabolism in chronic lymphocytic leukemia to guide clinical outcome and therapy.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia in the West. With CLL's heterogeneity, some people still develop disease refractory and relapse despite advances in treatment. Thus, early diagnosis and treatment of high-risk CLL patients is critical.

25-Hydroxy vitamin D deficiency is an inferior predictor of peripheral T-cell lymphomas.

The aim of the study was to explore the significance and prognostic value of 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25-(OH) D) deficiency in peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs). One hundred fifty-six patients of newly diagnosed PTCLs were enrolled in the study. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to determine independent risk factors for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

Spatially Selective Solvation Structure by Electronegative Micro-Arrays for Stable Lithium-Metal Anode Interface.

For electrolytes with conventional lithium salt concentration, it is not easy to generate sufficient anion-derived beneficial inorganic components to stabilize the electrolyte-lithium metal anode interface due to the repulsion of the free-state anions by the anode. In this study, the above issues are solved through the strong interaction between electronegative materials and lithium ions (Li ). A locally high Li concentration strategy is proposed by preparing micro-arrays of electronegative nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) on the Cu foil.

Chidamide plus prednisone, cyclophosphamide, and thalidomide for relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma: A multicenter phase II trial.

Background: Although the treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) has undergone advancements during the past several years, the response rate and long-term effects with respect to patients with PTCL remain unsatisfactory-particularly for relapsed or refractory (R/R) patients. This phase II trial was designed to explore the efficacy and safety of an all-oral regimen of chidamide plus prednisone, cyclophosphamide, and thalidomide (CPCT) for R/R PTCL patients who could not tolerate the standard chemotherapy for a variety of reasons.

Methods: We conducted a multicenter phase II clinical trial in which we combined chidamide (30 mg twice weekly) with prednisone (20 mg daily after breakfast), cyclophosphamide (50 mg daily after lunch), and thalidomide (100 mg daily at bedtime) (the CPCT regimen) for a total of fewer than 12 cycles as an induction-combined treatment period, and then applied chidamide as single-drug maintenance.

m6A-Modified circTET2 Interacting with HNRNPC Regulates Fatty Acid Oxidation to Promote the Proliferation of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a hematological malignancy with high metabolic heterogeneity. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification plays an important role in metabolism through regulating circular RNAs (circRNAs). However, the underlying mechanism is not yet fully understood in CLL.
