Abstract

Follicular lymphoma (FL) is the most common indolent lymphoma originating from germinal center B cells. FL represents a clinically and biologically heterogeneous disease. Most patients have favorable outcomes, but a subset of patients experiences early progression or transformation and has a poor prognosis. Abnormalities in FL cells and tumor microenvironment have been revealed using multi-omics techniques, including genomic, epigenomic, transcriptomic and proteomic analysis. Recurrent somatic gene aberrations mainly involve epigenetic modifiers, transcription factors, oncogenic pathways and microenvironment modulators. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis show marked inter- and intra-patient FL subclone heterogeneity. In addition, a comprehensive profile of microenvironmental components is provided, unveiling the crosstalk between tumor and microenvironment that induce FL progression and facilitate immune escape. Together, these studies provide insights into the mechanisms and biomarkers of high-risk FL populations, as well as the potential targeted and immunotherapy options. Future research should focus on integrating multi-omics aberrations to optimize therapeutic strategies in FL.

Keywords: follicular lymphoma, genomics, transcriptomics, microenvironment, biomarkers, targeted therapy, immunotherapy
