While severe immune dysregulation is an established risk factor for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), it is unclear whether subclinical immune system function influences lymphomagenesis. To address this question, we conducted a nested case-control study within the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial to investigate whether circulating levels of cytokines and other immune markers are associated with future risk of NHL. Selected cytokines [interleukin (IL)-4, IL-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α] and other immune markers [soluble TNF receptor 1 (sTNF-R1), sTNF-R2, C-reactive protein (CRP), sCD27] were measured in prediagnostic serum specimens from 297 incident NHL cases and 297 individually matched controls. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) relating quartiles of analyte concentration to NHL risk were calculated using conditional logistic regression. Statistically significant associations with increased NHL risk were observed for elevated serum levels of sTNF-R1 (quartile 4 vs. quartile 1: OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.1–2.8; Ptrend=0.02) and sCD27 (OR 5.3, 95% CI 2.9–9.4; Ptrend<0.0001). These associations remained in analyses of cases diagnosed 6+ years following blood collection (sTNF-R1: OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.0–4.0, Ptrend=0.01; sCD27: OR 4.1, 95% CI 1.9–8.5, Ptrend=0.0001). Elevated levels of IL-10, TNF-α and sTNF-R2 were also significantly associated with increased risk of NHL overall; however, these associations weakened with increasing time from blood collection to case diagnosis, and were null for cases diagnosed 6+ years post-collection. Our findings for sTNF-R1 and sCD27, possible markers for inflammatory and B-cell stimulatory states respectively, support a role for subclinical inflammation and chronic B-cell stimulation in lymphomagenesis.
