Popis: Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common subtype of invasive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). DLBCL presents with variable backgrounds, which results in heterogeneous outcomes among patients. Although new tools have been developed for the classification and management of patients, 40% of them still have primary refractory disease or relapse. In addition, multiple factors regarding the pathogenesis of this disease remain unclear and identification of novel biomarkers is needed. In this context, recent investigations point to microRNAs as useful biomarkers in cancer. The aim of this systematic review was to provide new insight into the role of miRNAs in the diagnosis, classification, treatment response and prognosis of DLBCL patients. We used the following terms in PubMed" (('Non-coding RNA') OR ('microRNA' OR 'miRNA' OR 'miR') OR ('exosome') OR ('extracellular vesicle') OR ('secretome')) AND ('Diffuse large B cell lymphoma' OR 'DLBCL')" to search for studies evaluating miRNAs as a diagnosis, subtype, treatment response or prognosis biomarkers in primary DLBCL in human patient populations. As a result, the analysis was restricted to the role of miRNAs in tumor tissue and we did not consider circulating miRNAs. A total of thirty-six studies met the inclusion criteria. Among them, twenty-one were classified in the diagnosis category, twenty in classification, five in treatment response and nineteen in prognosis. In this review, we have identified miR-155-5p and miR-21-5p as miRNAs of potential utility for diagnosis, while miR-155-5p and miR-221-3p could be useful for classification. Further studies are needed to exploit the potential of this field. This study was funded by the Basque Government (IT989-16), and Bioef-EiTB maratoia (BIO15/CA/022). The funding source did not have any role in the study design, collection, analysis and interpretation of data, writing of the report, or decision to submit the article for publication.
