We investigated 59 miRNAs by RT-qPCR to establish a serum miRNA profile in dogs with B-cell and T-cell multicentric lymphoma. Multiple miRNA pruned decision tree models were used to classify BCL and TCL cases from each other and controls, and to predict prognosis in BCL cases receiving standard CHOP chemotherapy. Six individual miRNAs were differentially expressed in serum between BCL and controls, and three were differentially expressed between BCL and TCL. A three-miRNA model (miR-155-5p, miR-1 and miR-181b) could differentiate between BCL, TCL and control samples with an accuracy of 83.02%.

This study aimed to evaluate CTVT cytological characteristics to develop a predictive cytological scoring system for vincristine sulfate resistance. For this purpose, 40 cases were retrospectively analysed based on their clinical aspects and response to vincristine chemotherapy. First, cytological preparations underwent a double-blind assessment to evaluate a modified cytomorphological classification. This classification, an adaptation of a previously published system, categorised tumours based on cell shape (plasmacytic versus lymphocytic), but no association with chemoresistance was found (p = 0.083). Subsequently, a novel cytology scoring system was developed and tested to identify cases potentially associated with chemoresistance. This system was based on three criteria: anisokaryosis, mitotic count, and the presence of binucleated cells. Malignancy criteria, evaluated in 5 hotspots, were inversely associated with chemoresistance (p = 0.001), predicted by low anisokaryosis, a mitotic count of ≤ 6 in a 2.37 mm<sup>2</sup> area, and no binucleated cells.

Ultrastructural analysis of NDV-infected CMT-U27 cells with locally damaged cell membranes and swollen and ruptured mitochondria revealed the occurrence of pyroptosis. Transcriptome sequencing further identified a significant upregulation of pyroptosis-related genes, including NLRP1, NOD2, caspase-1, and GSDMD. Subsequent examination of RNA and protein expression levels of pyroptosis-related molecules in vitro indicated that NDV induces pyroptosis in CMT-U27 cells via the caspase-1/GSDMD pathway. Additionally, inhibition of the TNFα/NF-κB pathway and knockdown of NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) using small interfering RNA demonstrated that the TNFα/NF-κB pathway can regulate NDV-induced pyroptosis through the NLRP3 inflammasome. In a xenograft model, intravenous administration of NDV significantly inhibited tumour growth, and prolonged the survival time in nude mice bearing CMT-U27 cells. NDV treatment enhances intratumoural pyrotosis in tumour bearing mice.
