Proteomic analysis reveals age-related differences in protein expression in Burkitt lymphoma, suggesting the role of EBV and metabolism.

The central aim is to explore the molecular heterogeneity of Burkitt lymphoma related to age and EBV infection.
Used liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry for proteomic analysis of BL tissues.
Analyzed samples from 10 FFPE BL tissues, stratified by age and EBV status.
Correlated proteomic findings with clinical data from 273 BL patients.
Pediatric patients exhibited higher lactate dehydrogenase levels and advanced tumor stages.
Adult BL showed 343 differentially expressed proteins, enriched in energy metabolism and oxidative stress pathways.
EBV-positive BL cases had distinct molecular signatures linked to purine metabolism and apoptosis.

Huang et al. (2025) studied this question.
