Arginase 1 Is a Marker of Myeloid-Mediated Immunosuppression with Prognostic Meaning in Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma
Abstract Purpose : Neutrophilia is hallmark of classic Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL), but its precise characterization remains elusive. We aimed at investigating the immunosuppressive role of high-density neutrophils in HL. Experimental design : First, N-HL function was evaluated in vitro, showing increased arginase (Arg-1) expression and activity compared to healthy subjects. Second, we measured serum level of Arg-1 (s-Arg-1) by ELISA in two independent, training (N=40) and validation (N=78) sets. Results : s-Arg-1 was higher in patients with advanced stage (p=0.045), B-symptoms (p=0.0048) and a positive FDG-PET scan after two cycles of chemotherapy (PET-2, p=0.012). Baseline levels of s-Arg-1 &g…
