Analysis of Data on Fludarabine, Cyclophosphamide, and Rituximab Chemoimmunotherapy for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Shows High Patient Heterogeneity and the Need for More Consideration of Individualized Treatment

Sumario: | METHODS: Data from single-cell RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) of CLL patients were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. The R package was utilized to analyze the data, and the relation of results was predicted via the GeneMANIA website. The information of 7 samples covered three stages: observation stage, pretreatment by CIT with rituximab, fludarabine, and cyclophosphamide (pre-CIT), and post-CIT. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, and functional enrichment analyses were performed. B cell subpopulations and pseudotime trajectories analysis was conducted. RESULTS: A total of 70,659 DEGs were identified. Each patient's DEGs presented their own characteristics, with low similarity. Therefore, it is difficult to identify potential hub genes. Similarly, pathway enrichment analysis showed significant tumor heterogeneity among CLL patients. Analysis of relapsed post-CIT compared to the observation stage suggested that the TP53 pathway should be taken seriously as it is closely related to treatment strategy and patient prognosis. CONCLUSIONS: Tumor heterogeneity may be a more common manifestation of CLL. Individualized treatment should be considered for CLL. TP53 abnormality and its regulatory factors should still be the focus of CLL diagnosis and treatment. |
