PI3K inhibitor idelalisib enhances the anti-tumor effects of CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib via PLK1 in B-cell lymphoma.

Relapsed or refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) patients still faced with poor survival, representing an unmet clinical need. In-depth research into the disease's pathogenesis and the development of targeted treatment strategies are urgently needed. Here, we conducted a comprehensive bioinformatic analysis of gene mutation and expression using data from our center and public databases.

Clinical implications of circulating tumor DNA in predicting the outcome of diffuse large B cell lymphoma patients receiving first-line therapy.

Background: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has been proven to be a promising tumor-specific biomarker in solid tumors, but its clinical utility in risk stratification and early prediction of relapse for diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) has not been well explored.

Methods: Here, using a lymphoma-specific sequencing panel, we assessed the prognostic and predictive utilities of ctDNA measurements before, during, and after first-line therapy in 73 Chinese DLBCL patients.

Results: The pretreatment ctDNA level serving as an independent prognostic factor for both progression-free survival (PFS, adjusted HR 2.

Ibrutinib combined with low-dose histone deacetylases inhibitor chidamide synergistically enhances the anti-tumor effect in B-cell lymphoma.

Aberrant activity of histone deacetylases (HDACs) is frequently detected in B-cell lymphomas, which indicated the therapeutic implications of HDAC inhibitors for B-cell malignancies. We have discovered that lymphoma cells treated with HDAC inhibitor presented with activation of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) which played an important role in the development of B-cell malignancies. Therefore, our study intended to explore whether the addition of ibrutinib (BTK inhibitor) to chidamide (HDAC inhibitor) could generate combined anti-tumor effects in B-cell lymphomas.

Anti-CD47 immunotherapy in combination with BCL-2 inhibitor to enhance anti-tumor activity in B-cell lymphoma.

CD47 expressed on cancer cells enables macrophage immune evasion. Blocking CD47 using anti-CD47 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is a promising strategy. The anti-CD47 mAb TJC4 has anti-tumor activity but lacks hematological toxicity.
