Surprisingly cMO and iMO from DLBCL showed common deregulated pathways with an enrichment for FCGR3A, CD36, FCGR1A, CYBB, AIM2, STAT6, FCGR2A, CCR2, NLRC4, S100A8, and CD14. These genes are broadly expressed in cMO in healthy samples (2, 5) and our results suggest that iMO and cMO are tumor-educated and polarized to a common inflammatory phenotype in DLBCL. This evidence concerns the gene CD36 and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
