MOLECULAR CLASSIFICATION OF PRIMARY MEDIASTINAL LARGE B CELL LYMPHOMA USING FORMALIN‐FIXED, PARAFFIN‐EMBEDDED TISSUE SPECIMENS – AN LLMPP PROJECT
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Introduction: Primary mediastinal large B cell lymphoma (PMBCL) is recognized as a distinct lymphoma entity in the current World Health Organization classification. However, the diagnosis relies on integration of clinical characteristics and presentation since a reliable distinction from diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) solely based on morphological or immunophenotypic features can be difficult. Gene expression profiling studies provided evidence that PMBCL can be distinguished from DLBCL on a molecular level and supported a strong relationship between PMBCL and classical Hodgkin lymphoma. Because these studies were performed using snap-frozen tissue, the molecular classification of PMBCL has not penetrated into clinical practice. We sought to develop a robust and accurate molecular assay for the distinction of PMBCL from DLBCL based on gene expression measurements in routinely available formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) biopsies. Methods: All cases used in this study were centrally reviewed by a panel of expert hematopathologists in the Lymphoma and Leukemia Molecular Profiling Project consortium. Gene selection was performed using data previously generated on Affymetrix U133 plus 2.0 microarrays and the NanoString platform. The training cohort for the new assay, termed Lymph3Cx, consisted of 68 cases (48 DLBCL and 20 PMBCL); the independent validation cohort comprised 88 PMBCL and 78 DLBCL cases. Cases were required to have a tumor content of ≥60% and nucleic acids were extracted from 10 mm FFPE scrolls. Digital gene expression was performed on 200 ng RNA using NanoString technology. Results: The final Lymph3Cx gene set consisted of 64 probes and included the previously described 20 genes of the Lymph2Cx assay. A probabilistic model accounting for classification error was trained to produce model scores that best distinguished between DLBCL and PMBCL. Cut-points were defined at the 0.1 and 0.9 probability scores. The model, including coefficients and thresholds was then “locked” and applied to the independent validation cohort. The assay yielded gene expression data of sufficient quality in 157/166 cases (94.6%). Among the pathologically-defined PMBCL, 85% were classified as such based on the molecular signature. Ten percent of cases were assigned to the “uncertain” category and 5% showed a molecular signature of DLBCL. Among the pathologically-defined DLBCL cases, 83% were classified as DLBCL by the assay, 14% were “uncertain” and 3% were predicted to be PMBCL. Conclusion: The newly developed and validated Lymph3Cx assay distinguishes PMBCL and DLBCL based on gene expression signatures and shows high concordance with the pathological classification of an expert hematopathologist panel. Future studies will be needed to determine Lymph3Cx's utility for routine diagnostic purposes and therapeutic decision making. Keywords: gene expression profile (GEP); primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMLBCL).
