Single-cell transcriptomic and spatial analysis reveal the immunosuppressive microenvironment in relapsed/refractory angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma.

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is a kind of aggressive T-cell lymphoma with significant enrichment of non-malignant tumor microenvironment (TME) cells. However, the complexity of TME in AITL progression is poorly understood. We performed single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-seq) and imaging mass cytometry (IMC) analysis to compare the cellular composition and spatial architecture between relapsed/refractory AITL (RR-AITL) and newly diagnosed AITL (ND-AITL).

Although rearrangement of the MYC oncogene (MYC-R) is frequently observed in aggressive B-cell lymphomas, it is extremely rare in T-cell malignancies. A 64-year-old man who had been under observation for several years because of asymptomatic pulmonary extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALToma) was admitted to our hospital because of poor general condition and hypotension. Blood tests revealed thrombocytopenia and elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase levels, whereas computed tomography revealed systemic lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly.

Sustained yet non-curative response to lenalidomide in relapsed angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma with acquired chidamide resistance: a case report with 10-year follow-up, genetic insights and literature review.

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is an aggressive subtype of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) characterized by its T-follicular helper (TFH) phenotype. Relapsed and refractory disease is common in AITL and often associated with a poor prognosis. The presence of epigenetic abnormalities, immune dysregulation, hyperinflammation and active angiogenesis in AITL offers potential targets for histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors and immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs).

The role of stem cell transplant (auto and allo) in PTCL and CTCL.

In contrast to B-cell lymphoma, the advent of modern targeting drugs and immunotherapeutics has not led to major breakthroughs in the treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) to date. Therefore, both autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) continue to play a central role in the management of PTCL. Focusing on the most common entities (PTCL not otherwise specified, angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, and ALK-negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma), we summarize evidence, indications, and points to consider for transplant strategies in PTCL by treatment line.

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma: Current Diagnostic Insights and Advances.

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), or nodal T-follicular helper cell lymphoma, angioimmunoblastic type, is a rare and aggressive type of T-cell lymphoma characterized by a spectrum of clinical and histopathological features that can present diagnostic challenges. Derived from T-follicular helper cells, the genesis of AITL is thought to be a multistep process involving mutations in epigenetic regulatory genes such as TET2 and DNMT3A, followed by driver mutations in RHOA and IDH2 which promote clonal expansion as well as a characteristic inflammatory milieu. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of AITL, including its clinical presentation, epidemiology, pathogenesis, histomorphology and treatment options.

A Phase 2 study of acimtamig (AFM13) in patients with CD30-positive, relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphomas.

Background: Patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) generally have poor prognoses and limited treatment options.

Materials & Methods: This study evaluated the efficacy of a novel CD30/CD16A bispecific innate cell engager, acimtamig (AFM13), in patients with R/R PTCL. Patients included those with CD30 expression in ≥1% of tumor cells and who were R/R following ≥1 prior line of systemic therapy.

Dual epigenetic therapy plus chemotherapy in peripheral T cell lymphoma with T follicular helper phenotype.

The nonrandomized phase II study by Ding et al. explored the combination of azacitidine and chidamide with or without GemOx chemotherapy in relapsed/refractory peripheral T cell lymphoma and demonstrated that the dual epigenetic therapy is safe and efficacious, particularly in the angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma subset. Further investigation into adding chemotherapy is warranted, building on the promising results seen in this trial.

Prognostic Utility of a Novel Prognostic Model Consisting of Age, CRP, Ki67, and POD24 in Patients with Angioimmunoblastic T-Cell Lymphoma.

Unlabelled: To find the independent factors affecting the prognosis of AITL patients, establish a novel predictive model, and stratify the prognosis of AITL patients. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 86 patients diagnosed with AITL in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from December 2010 to March 2022. The clinical features, recurrence time, and death time of patients were collected and analyzed statistically.
