T-zone lymphoma (TZL), an indolent disease in older dogs, comprises approximately 12% of lymphomas in dogs. TZL cells exhibit an activated phenotype, indicating the disease may be antigen-driven. Prior research found that asymptomatic aged Golden Retrievers (GLDRs) commonly have populations of T-zone-like cells (phenotypically identical to TZL) of undetermined significance (TZUS).
To evaluate associations of inflammatory conditions, TZL and TZUS, using a case-control study of GLDRs.
TZL cases (n = 140), flow cytometrically diagnosed, were identified through Colorado State University's Clinical Immunology Laboratory. Non-TZL dogs, recruited through either a database of owners interested in research participation or the submitting clinics of TZL cases, were subsequently flow cytometrically classified as TZUS (n = 221) or control (n = 147).
Health history, signalment, environmental, and lifestyle factors were obtained from owner-completed questionnaires. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were estimated using multivariable logistic regression, obtaining separate estimates for TZL and TZUS (versus controls).
Hypothyroidism (OR, 0.3; 95% CI, 0.1-0.7), omega-3 supplementation (OR, 0.3; 95% CI, 0.1-0.6), and mange (OR, 5.5; 95% CI, 1.4-21.1) were significantly associated with TZL. Gastrointestinal disease (OR, 2.4; 95% CI, 0.98-5.8) had nonsignificantly increased TZL odds. Two shared associations for TZL and TZUS were identified: bladder infection or calculi (TZL OR, 3.5; 95% CI, 0.96-12.7; TZUS OR, 5.1; 95% CI, 1.9-13.7) and eye disease (TZL OR, 2.3; 95% CI, 0.97-5.2; TZUS OR, 1.9; 95% CI, 0.99-3.8).
These findings may elucidate pathways involved in TZUS risk and progression from TZUS to TZL. Further investigation into the protective association of omega-3 supplements is warranted.
T 区淋巴瘤(TZL)是老年犬的一种惰性疾病,约占犬淋巴瘤的 12%。TZL 细胞表现出活化表型,表明该疾病可能由抗原驱动。先前的研究发现,无症状的老年金毛寻回犬(GLDR)通常存在意义未明的 T 区样细胞群体(表型与 TZL 相同)(TZUS)。
通过对 GLDR 进行病例对照研究,评估炎症性疾病、TZL 和 TZUS 之间的关联。
通过科罗拉多州立大学临床免疫学实验室鉴定出 140 例经流式细胞术诊断的 TZL 病例。通过对有研究参与意愿的犬主数据库或 TZL 病例的提交诊所招募的非 TZL 犬,随后经流式细胞术分类为 TZUS(221 例)或对照(147 例)。
从犬主填写的问卷中获取健康史、特征、环境和生活方式因素。使用多变量逻辑回归估计比值比(OR)和 95%置信区间(95%CI),分别获得 TZL 和 TZUS(与对照相比)的估计值。
甲状腺功能减退(OR,0.3;95%CI,0.l - 0.7)、补充ω-3(OR,0.3;95%CI,0.l - 0.6)和疥螨病(OR,5.5;95%CI,1.4 - 21.1)与 TZL 显著相关。胃肠道疾病(OR,2.4;95%CI,0.98 - 5.8)使 TZL 的患病几率有非显著增加。确定了 TZL 和 TZUS 的两个共同关联因素:膀胱感染或结石(TZL 的 OR,3.5;95%CI,0.96 - 12.7;TZUS 的 OR,5.1;95%CI,1.9 - 13.7)和眼部疾病(TZL 的 OR,2.3;95%CI,0.97 - 5.2;TZUS 的 OR,1.9;95%CI,0.99 - 3.8)。
这些发现可能阐明 TZUS 风险以及从 TZUS 进展为 TZL 所涉及的途径。有必要进一步研究ω-3 补充剂具有的保护关联。
