Abstract

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive malignancy with a variable response to therapy. We have previously shown that DLBCL cell lines differ in their susceptibility to CD40-mediated cell death, and that resistance to CD40-targeted antibodies correlated with increased expression of markers of immature B-cell and absence of Vav-1 mRNA. We used gene expression profiling to investigate the mechanism of CD40 resistance in these cell lines, and found that resistance correlated with lack of Vav-1 and inability to activate NF B upon CD40 ligation. Analysis of tissue microarrays of 213 DLBCL cases revealed that Vav-1 expression correlated with a higher proliferative index and the presence of the post-germinal centre marker Irf-4. Our results suggest that Vav-1 expression may be associated with activated B-cell DLBCL origin and higher proliferative activity, and indicate Vav-1 as a potential marker to identify tumours likely to respond to CD40-targeted therapies.
