Abstract
Abstract
Background
OCT-1 gene is a member of the POU-homeodomain family of transcriptional regulators of B-lymphocyte differentiation by controlling expression of B-cell specific genes. BCL-2 gene is a potent inhibitor of apoptosis and it is essential during B-cell differentiation into germinal center. These genes may be expressed in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), but the role of BCL-2 in its prognosis has been contradictory, and OCT-1 has yet to be tested.
Methods
In this study, we aimed to investigate the prognostic impact of OCT-1 and BCL-2 expression in DLBCL treated in the real world with immunochemotherapy in a single center. BCL-2 and OCT-1 genes were available in 78.5% (77/98) DLBCL patients, and the RNA for quantitative real-time PCR was isolated from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples. The values obtained for gene expression were transformed in categorical variable according to their median.
Results
Cohort median age was 54.5 years (15–84), 49 (50%) were male, 38/77 (49.4%) and 40/77 (51.9%) presented OCT-1 and BCL-2 expression ≥ median, respectively. The overall response rate (ORR) in all patients was 68.4% (67/98), 65,3% (64/98) of patients acquired complete response, and 3.1% (3/98) partial response, while 6.1% (6/98) were primary refractory. The median follow-up was 3.77 years (95% CI: 3.2–4.1), with 5.43 (95% CI: 2.2-NR) of overall survival (OS) and 5.15 years (95% CI: 2.9-NA) of progression free survival (PFS). OCT-1 ≥ median was associated with shorter OS at univariate analysis (p = 0.013; [HR] 2.450, 95% CI: 1.21–4.96) and PFS (p = 0.019; [HR] 2.270, 95%CI: 1.14–4.51) and BCL-2 gene overexpression presented worse PFS (p = 0.043, [HR] 2.008, 95% CI: 1.02–3.95). At multivariate analysis, OCT-1 overexpression was associated with poor PFS (p = 0.035, [HR] 2.22, 95% CI: 1.06–4.67).
Conclusion
In this study, we showed that overexpression of OCT1 gene was an independent prognostic factor of adverse outcomes in DLBCL.
