Non-germinal center small B-cell lymphomas represent a heterogeneous group of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, the most frequent histological subtypes being small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), splenic marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MZL), and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). In order to identify genomic signatures specific for each disease, we analyzed 128 primary tumors using high density microarrays. Several clusters of genes significantly discriminated the three histological subtypes. Genes associated with cell-adhesion, angiogenesis and inhibition of apoptosis were up-regulated in SLL. Genes associated with intracellular signalling via the AKT1 pathway were up-regulated in splenic MZL. Genes associated with cell cycle control and multidrug resistance were upregulated in MCL. Using 44 genes selected within the gene clusters discriminant for the three lymphoma subtypes, we generated a class prediction score that allowed to classify the three entities in 96% of the cases, including borderline cases. Whereas specific transcriptional profiles easily distinguished all MZL samples, SLL samples and most of the MCL samples, into separate groups, few MCL cases exhibited MZL-type transcriptional profiles. This study demonstrates that SLL, splenic MZL and MCL possess specific transcriptional profiles that may be relevant to the pathogenesis and the diagnosis of these histological subtypes.
