Abstract
Although Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), tryptophan-2,3-dioxygenase (TDO), and aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) are involved in cancer immune escape, their prognostic impact on diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is unknown. To examine the prognostic impact of IDO, TDO, and AHR on patients with DLBCL. This was a retrospective study on treatment-naive patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL at the Henan Province People's Hospital between 01/2012 and 06/2015. Patients with inflammatory reactive lymph nodes were included as controls. All cases were reviewed by 2 pathologists. IDO, TDO, and AHR positivity was determined through immunochemistry. Survival was examined using the Kaplan-Meier method and multivariable Cox analyses. The positive expression of TDO (50.0% vs 16.7%,P = .005) and AHR (60.0% vs 8.3%,P < .001) were higher in DLBCL than in inflammatory control. The overall survival of IDO, TDO, and AHR positive expression in DLBCL patients was 34.6, 26.7, and 32.2 months, respectively, which is significantly shorter than that of the corresponding negative patients (49.0 months,P = .04; 58.2 months,P < .001; 58.0 months,P < .001; respectively). The multivariable analysis showed that TDO expression and Ann-Arbor stage were independently associated with PFS (TDO: HR = 8.347, 95%CI: 2.992-23.289,P < .001; stage: HR = 2.729, 95%CI: 1.571-4.739,P < .001) and OS (TDO: HR = 9.953, 95%CI: 3.228-30.686,P < .001; stage: HR = 2.681, 95%CI: 1.524-4.719,P = .001) in DLBCL patients. Overexpression of IDO, TDO, and AHR is associated with poor survival of patients with DLBCL and could be involved in the immune escape of cancer cells. Further studies are necessary to determine whether these proteins can be targeted by treatment regimens.
