The genome of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is, in addition to the translocation t(11;14), characterized by a high number of secondary chromosomal gains and losses that likely account for the varying survival times of MCL patients. We investigated 77 primary MCL tumors with available clinical information using high resolution RNA expression and genomic profiling and applied our recently developed gene expression and dosage integrator (GEDI) algorithm to identify novel genes and pathways that may be of relevance for the pathobiology of MCL. We show that copy number neutral loss of heterozygosity (CNN-LOH) is common in MCL and targets regions that are frequently affected by deletions. The molecular consequences of genomic copy number changes appear complex, even in genomic loci with identified tumor suppressors, such as the region 9p21 containing the CDKN2A locus. Moreover, the deregulation of novel genes such as CUL4A, ING1 and MCPH1 may affect the two crucial pathogenetic mechanisms in MCL, the disturbance of the proliferation and DNA damage response pathways. Deregulation of the Hippo pathway may have a pathogenetic role in MCL, since decreased expression of its members MOBKL2A, MOBKL2B and LATS2 was associated with inferior outcome also in an independent validation series of 32 MCL.

View SamplesFollicular lymphoma (FL) is genetically characterized by the presence of the t(14;18)(q32;q21) chromosomal translocation in approximately 90% of cases. In contrast to FL carrying the t(14;18), their t(14;18)-negative counterparts are less well studied regarding their immunohistochemical, genetic, molecular and clinical features. Within a previously published series of 184 FL grade 1-3A with available gene expression data, we identified 17 FL lacking the t(14;18). Comparative genomic hybridization and high resolution SNP array profiling demonstrated that gains/amplifications of the BCL2 gene locus in 18q were restricted to the t(14;18)-positive FL subgroup. A comparison of gene expression profiles revealed an enrichment of germinal center B-cell associated signatures in t(14;18)-positive FL, whereas activated B-cell like, NFB, proliferation and bystander cell signatures were enriched in t(14;18)-negative FL. These findings were confirmed by immunohistochemistry in an independent validation series of 84 FL, in which 32% of t(14;18)-negative FL showed weak or absent CD10 expression and 91% an increased Ki67 proliferation rate. Although overall survival did not differ between FL with and without t(14;18), our findings suggest distinct molecular features of t(14;18)-negative FL.
Follicular lymphomas with and without translocation t(14;18) differ in gene expression profiles and genetic alterations.

View SamplesThe assignment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma into cell-of-origin (COO) groups is becoming increasingly important with the emergence of novel therapies that have selective biological activity in germinal center B-cell-like (GCB) or activated B-cell-like (ABC) groups. The LLMPP's Lymph2Cx assay is a parsimonious digital gene-expression (NanoString) based test for COO assignment in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPET) routinely produced in standard diagnostic processes. The 20-gene assay was trained using 51 FFPET biopsies; the locked assay was then validated using an independent cohort of 68 FFPET biopsies. Comparisons were made with COO assignment using the original COO model on matched frozen tissue. In the validation cohort the assay was accurate, with only one case with definitive COO being incorrectly assigned, and robust, with >95% concordance of COO assignment between 2 independent laboratories. These qualities, along with the rapid turn-around-time, make Lymph2Cx attractive for implementation in clinical trials and, ultimately, patient management.

View SamplesWe performed array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) and gene expression profiling in 203 samples of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). By gene expression, at least three molecular subtypes of DLBCL termed as germinal center B cell-like (GCB) DLBCL, activated B cell-like (ABC) DLBCL, and primary mediastinal B cell lymphoma (PMBL) can be distinguished. Combining gene expression profiling and aCGH, revealed copy number abnormalities that had strikingly different frequencies in the three molecular DLBCL subtypes. These data provide genetic evidence that the DLBCL subtypes are distinct diseases that utilize different oncogenic pathways.

View SamplesDespite advances in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) treatment, about 20% of patients still die due to progressive disease. Current prognostic models predict treatment outcome with imperfect accuracy, and clinically relevant biomarkers are yet to be established that improve upon the International Prognostic Scoring (IPS) system. We analyzed 130 frozen diagnostic lymph node biopsies from classical HL patients by gene expression profiling to describe cellular signatures correlated with treatment outcome.

In this study, we examine the gene expression changes in four hypothalamic nuclei across 24-hour food deprived versus ad libitum fed mice. Overall design: Using mice with paternal deletion of the Snord116 cluster, we laser-captured microdissected four hypothalamic nuclei for RNA sequencing: the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH), arcuate nucleus (ARC), dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH) and paraventricular nucleus (PVN). Samples were taken from male mice in either the fed or 24-hour fasted state.
