Background: Intra-tumour heterogeneity in lymphoid malignancies encompasses selection of genetic events and epigenetic regulation of transcriptional programs. Clonal-related neoplastic cell populations are unsteadily subjected to immune editing and metabolic adaptations within different tissue microenvironments. How tissue-specific mesenchymal cells impact on the diversification of aggressive lymphoma clones is still unknown. Methods: Combining in situ quantitative immunophenotypical analyses and RNA sequencing we investigated the intra-tumour heterogeneity and the specific mesenchymal modifications that are associated with A20 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cells seeding of different tissue microenvironments. Furthermore, we characterized features of lymphoma-associated stromatogenesis in human DLBCL samples using Digital Spatial Profiling, and established their relationship with prognostically relevant variables, such as MYC. Findings: We found that the tissue microenvironment casts a relevant influence over A20 transcriptional landscape also impacting on Myc and DNA damage response programs. Extending the investigation to mice deficient for the matricellular protein SPARC, a stromal prognostic factor in human DLBCL, we demonstrated a different immune imprint on A20 cells according to stromal Sparc proficiency. Through Digital Spatial Profiling of 87 immune and stromal genes on human nodal DLBCL regions characterized by different mesenchymal composition, we demonstrate intra-lesional heterogeneity arising from diversified mesenchymal contextures and impacting on the stromal and immune milieu. Interpretation: Our study provides experimental evidence that stromal microenvironment generates topological determinants of intra-tumour heterogeneity in DLBCL involving key transcriptional pathways such as Myc expression, damage response programs and immune checkpoints.
