Objective:To explore the effect of TP53 mutation variant allele frequency(VAF)on the prognosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL)patients.Methods:This study included 155 patients with DLBCL who were first diagnosed in the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from March 2009 to March 2022. Complete clinical data and paraffin-embedded tumor tissue samples were obtained,and DNA was extracted from tumor tissues.The gene mutation profile of DLBCL patients was detected and analyzed by second-generation sequencing technology.Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the mutation status of TP53 gene and the relationship between mutation VAF and OS.Cox regression univariate and multivariate analysis was use to analyze the independent factors affecting OS.A nornogram model for predicting 1,3,and 5 years OS in DLBCL patients were established to evaluated the performance of the model based on C-index and calibration curves.Results:The average value of TP53 mutation VAF in male DLBCL patients was significantly higher than that in female patients (P<0.05 ).Patients with TP53 mutantion had shorter OS than those with wild-type patients (P=0.030).The optimal VAF threshold for TP53 mutation based on OS stratification was 33.61%(P<0.001),and patients with TP53 mutation VAF≥34%had shorter OS than those with TP53 mutation VAF<34%and wild-type patients (P<0.001).Multivariate Cox analysis showed that TP53 mutation VAF≥34% was an independent poor predictor of OS (HR=4.05,P<0.001),and IPI score ≥3 was an independent predictor of OS poor (HR=2.27,P=0.008).In combination with factors with independent prognostic significance obtained from multi-factor analysis,we constructed a nomogram model for predicting 1-year,3-year,5-year OS in DLBCL patients.The results showed that the C index of TP53-mutated VAF combined with IPI model was 0.743,which predicted the value of 1-year,3-year,and 5-year OS in DLBCL patients.Calibration curves show that the model has good agreement between predicted and actual survival of DLBCL patients at 1-year,3-year,and 5-year. Conclusion:TP53 mutant VAF has prognostic value in DLBCL patients,and TP53 mutant VAF≥34% is an independent risk factor for OS in DLBCL patients.The prognosis model of TP53 mutation VAF combined with IPI nomogram constructed in this study has good predictive performance for DLBCL patients.

Objective: To investigate the distribution characteristics of LymphGen genotyping in a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) population and verify its prognostic value. Methods: We collected the clinical data and paraffin-embedded tumor tissue samples of 155 patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL in the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from June 2014 to December 2020. DNA was extracted from tumor tissue and 475 gene mutations were detected by next-generation sequencing technology. We investigated the distribution of LymphGen genotyping in the DLBCL population, patients with different COO genotypes in the Xinjiang region, and their effects on PFS and OS. Results: ①Among 155 patients, 105 patients (67.7%) could be genotyped, including 14 (9.0%) for MCD, 26 (16.8%) for BN2, 10 (6.5%) for N1, 8 (5.2%) for EZB, 27 (17.4%) for A53, and 20 (12.9%) for ST2. ②The distribution of each gene subtype was different in different cell origin (COO) types (P=0.021) . ST2 was dominant in the germinal center type (GCB) group (28.8%) , and A53 and MCD were dominant in the non-GCB group (35.8%, 17.0%) . The BN2 type was the most common in both groups (23.1%, 26.4%) . ③There were statistically significant differences in progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) among different gene subtypes (P=0.031 and 0.005, respectively) . N1 and A53 had poor prognosis. The 2-year PFS and OS rates of N1 were both (21.3±18.4) %, and the 3-year PFS and OS rates of A53 were (60.9±11.3) %, (46.8±10.9) %, respectively. ④ The 3-year PFS and OS rates of MCD were the best, but the 5-year PFS and OS rates were worse. ⑤In the ROC curve of LymphGen genotyping for OS prediction, the AUC was 0.66, showing a certain degree of differentiation. Conclusion: LymphGen genotyping in the DLBCL population was different from previous reports and was of great significance for the prognosis of patients with DLBCL.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the expression level of miR-181b in CD19+ B lymphocytes of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), to analyze the relationship between its expression and the prognosis of CLL patients, and to predict the potential target gene of miR-181b in CLL by using bioinformatics.
METHODS:
Eight-four patients with CLL treated in People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from June 2013 to June 2018 were selected. and 20 healthy people were selected as control group. RNA was extracted from CD19+B lymphocytes of peripheral blood by magnetic bead sorting, the expression level of miR-181b was detected, and it's expression differences in different IPI groups were analyzed. The correlation between the expression level of miR-181b and PFS of CLL patients also was analyzed. miR-181b target genes were predicted by online database and literatures, and gene annotation analysis and relevant signal pathway analysis were performed for candidate target genes.
RESULTS:
The expression level of miR-181b in CLL patients was significantly lower than that in control group (P<0.01); The expression level of miR-181b in the low-risk group was higher than that in high-risk group and extremely high-risk group (P<0.05), but there was no statistical difference between low-risk group and medium-risk group (P=1.00). The expression level of miR-181b in medium-risk group was higher than that in high-risk group and extremely high-risk group (P<0.05), but there was no difference between high-risk group and extremely high-risk group (P=1.00). ROC curve results showed that the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.792 (P<0.01).When the expression level of miR-181b was at the threshold value of 0.279, it showed a better sensitivity (62.9%) and specificity (91.8%). Survival analysis results suggested that compared with the high expression group, the miR-181b low expression group had poor PFS (log rank: P=0.047). Prediction of miR-181b by using the starBase, targetscan and picTar database and its combination with literature reports indicated that CARD11, ZFP36L1, RUNX1, NR4A3, ATP1B1, PUM1 and PLAG1 related with blood diseases, and up-regulated CARD11 and ZFP36L1 participated in lymphoid tumor formation by promoting cell proliferation and inhibiting cell aging.
CONCLUSION
The expression level of miR-181b in CLL group are significantly lower than that in the controls group, and the low expression of miR-181b relates with poor prognosis of CLL patients. Through bioinformatics prediction and combined with literature reports, it is speculated that CARD11 and ZFP36L1 as target genes of miR-181b may be participated in the occurrence and development of CLL. Further experiments are needed to verify this result.
