Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), with its intrinsic genetic and epigenetic heterogeneity, exhibits significantly variable clinical outcomes among patients treated with the current standard regimen. Disulfidptosis, a novel form of regulatory cell death triggered by disulfide stress, is characterized by the collapse of cytoskeleton proteins and F-actin due to intracellular accumulation of disulfides. We investigated the expression variations of disulfidptosis-related genes (DRGs) in DLBCL using two publicly available gene expression datasets. The initial analysis of DRGs in DLBCL (GSE12453) revealed differences in gene expression patterns between various normal B cells and DLBCL. Subsequent analysis (GSE31312) identified DRGs strongly associated with prognostic outcomes, revealing eight characteristic DRGs (CAPZB, DSTN, GYS1, IQGAP1, MYH9, NDUFA11, NDUFS1, OXSM). Based on these DRGs, DLBCL patients were stratified into three groups, indicating that (1) DRGs can predict prognosis, and (2) DRGs can help identify novel therapeutic candidates. This study underscores the significant role of DRGs in various biological processes within DLBCL. Assessing the risk scores of individual DRGs allows for more precise stratification of prognosis and treatment strategies for DLBCL patients, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of clinical practice.
