Abstract
Background: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most common type of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL), has a lethal nature. Thus, the establishment of a novel model to predict the prognosis of DLBCL and guide its therapy is an urgency. Meanwhile, pyroptosis is engaged in the progression of DLBCL with further investigations required to reveal the underlying mechanism. Methods: LASSO regression was conducted to establish a risk model based on those PRGs. External datasets, RT-qPCR and IHC images from The Human Protein Alta (HPA) database were utilized to validate the model. ssGSEA was utilized to estimate the score of immune components in DLBCL. Results: A model based on 8 PRGs was established to generate a risk score. Validation of the model confirmed its robust performance. The risk score was associated with advanced clinical stages and shorter overall survivals. Two novel second-line chemotherapies were found to be potential treatments for high-risk patients. The risk score was also found to be correlated with immune components in DLBCL. Conclusion: This novel model can be utilized in clinical practices to predict the prognosis of DLBCL and guide the treatment of patients at high risk, providing an overview of immune regulatory program via pyroptosis in DLBCL.
