Investigation of protein biomarkers in HIV positive and HIV negative associated DLBCL

Introduction: Diffused large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL) is the most common aggressive nonHodgkin lymphoma (NHL) worldwide, constituting up to 40% of all cases globally. The incidence of HIV-associated lymphoma has decreased since the introduction of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) in the mid...

description Introduction: Diffused large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL) is the most common aggressive nonHodgkin lymphoma (NHL) worldwide, constituting up to 40% of all cases globally. The incidence of HIV-associated lymphoma has decreased since the introduction of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) in the mid-1990s. However, NHL, especially DLBCL remains the most common cause of morbidity and mortality among people living with HIV/AIDS, especially in sub-Saharan Africa where 70% of the global HIV/AIDS population reside. Gene expression profiles (GEP) identified based on the cell of origin (COO) two distinct DLBCL subtypes; germinal-centre B-cell-like (GCB) and activated B-cell-like (ABC) DLBCL. These subtypes differ in their genetic abnormalities and response to treatment regimens. Aim: We aimed to investigate in detail, protein distribution profile from FFPE tissue in HIV and non-HIV related DLBCL subtypes. Methods: FFPE DLBCL lymph node tissue samples from HIV and non-HIV related DLBCL were subjected to MALDI-imaging, in order to get the spatial distribution of proteins in DLBCL tissue. Proteins were extracted from tissue samples and subjected to liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to identify proteins present in FFPE DLBCL tissue. The protein profiles from the above-mentioned samples were compared and characterized by cancer pathways. Results: This study had 12 DLBCL cases and 2 human tonsil controls diagnosed from 2009- 2011. These cases were retrieved using the NHLS database. The overall age of DLBCL patients by the time they were diagnosed ranged from 18 to 73 years, with a median age of 48 years. MALDI-IMS peak detection function identified 1466 different m/z values from both the HIV negative and HIV positive DLBCL cases. There were only 50 exclusive m/z values that distinguished the DLBCL subtypes, Using LC-MS/MS we identified a total of 88 proteins, by comparing these proteins, we observed 6 differentially expressed among the DLBCL subtypes and controls Fructose-bisphosphate aldolase C was the only significantly differentially expressed proteins between HIV negative ABC DLBCL and HIV positive ABC DLBCL subtype (p value=1,47738). 10 Conclusion: Using proteomic techniques, we identified and visualized differentially expressed protein in DLBCL subtypes and controls. The majority of these proteins belonged to glycolysis, ATP synthesis, and cellular movement.
