The aim of this study was to analyze the relations between differentiation immunophenotypes and the status of apoptosis and proliferation in diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. Therefore, the bcl6/CD10/MUM1/CD138 differentiation immunophenotypic profiles were studied in relation to (a) the apoptotic index, (b) the apoptosis-associated bcl2 family proteins bcl2, bcl-xl, bax, bak, bad and bid, (c) the proliferation index (Ki67) and (d) the cell cycle proteins cyclin A, cyclin B1, cyclin D3, cyclin E, p53, Rb, p16 and p27 in 79 cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. Two major differentiation immunophenotypic profiles were distinguished: the germinal center B-cell-like profile; 31 cases (bcl6+/CD10+/-/MUM1-/CD138-: 29 cases and bcl6-/CD10+/MUM1-/CD138-: two cases) and the nongerminal center B-cell-like profile (bcl6+/-/CD10-/MUM1+/CD138-); 48 cases. The expression of bax, bak and bid and the apoptotic index were significantly higher in the germinal center B-cell-like profile than in the nongerminal center B-cell-like profile (P=0.045, 0.018, 0.003 and 0.034, respectively). In contrast, the expression of bcl-xl was significantly lower in the germinal center B-cell-like profile than in the nongerminal center B-cell-like profile (P=0.026). The expression of bcl6 and CD10 showed significant positive correlation with the expression of bax (r=0.659, P<0.001 and r=0.240, P=0.033, respectively), bak (r=0.391, P<0.001 and r=0.233, P=0.039, respectively) and bid (r=0.652, P<0.001 and r=0.238, P=0.035, respectively) and significant negative correlation with the expression of bcl-xl (r=-0.536, P<0.001 and r=-0.250, P=0.029, respectively). The expression of MUM1 showed significant negative correlation with the expression of bax (r=-0.276, P=0.014) and bid (r=-0.266, P=0.018) and significant positive correlation with the expression of bcl-xl (r=0.238, P=0.037). The above findings indicate that diffuse large B-cell lymphomas with germinal center B-cell-like immunophenotypic profile are associated with increased apoptosis status, high expression of the proapoptotic proteins bax, bak and bid and low expression of the antiapoptotic protein bcl-xl.

Controversy still exists over the response to therapy and prognosis of patients with primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBL). Recent data from the International Extranodal Lymphoma Study Group (IELSG) suggest that a MACOP-B (methotrexate, adriamycin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisone, bleomycin) chemotherapy regimen followed by radiotherapy may be a better induction strategy than other previously used treatments. Although the pathobiology of PMBL has been widely studied, its precise histology, phenotype, and molecular characteristics are still not clear. To date, phenotypic analysis has revealed the following phenotype: positivity for CD45 and CD20, but negativity for CD3, CD10, CD21, Class I/II major histocompatibility antigens, and a variety of other immunohistochemical markers. CD79a is generally detected, despite an absence of surface immunoglobulins (Igs). CD30 staining is observed in most cases, but is weaker and less homogeneous than in classic Hodgkin's lymphoma or anaplastic large cell lymphoma. BCL-2 protein is usually expressed but there are few data describing the expression of MUM1/IRF4, PAX5/BSAP, BCL-6, or the B-cell transcription factors BOB.1, Oct-2, and PU.1. Cytogenetic studies reveal gains in segments of chromosome 9p, including amplification of the REL proto-oncogene and the tyrosine kinase gene JAK2. Other molecular findings include: C-myc mutations or rearrangements, p53 mutations, IgV(H), gene mutations, and bcl-2 and mal over-expression. bcl-6 mutations and bcl-2 gene rearrangements are generally absent, suggesting that PMBL is of pre-germinal center (GC) origin. However, two recent reports show isotype-switched Ig genes with a high frequency of somatic hypermutations as well as variants in the 5' noncoding region of the bcl-6 gene. The IELSG collected 137 PMBL cases for extensive pathologic review. Histologically, the lymphomatous growth was predominantly diffuse with sclerosis that induced compartmentalized cell aggregation. It consisted of large cells with varying degrees of nuclear polymorphism and clear to basophilic cytoplasm. Molecular analysis was performed on 40 cases and showed novel findings. More than half of the cases displayed bcl-6 gene mutations, which usually occurred together with functioning somatic IgV(H) gene mutations, and BCL-6 and/or MUM1/IRF4 expression. The present study supports the concept that PBML is derived from activated GC or post-germinal center cells. However, it differs from other aggressive B-cell lymphomas in that it shows defective Ig production despite the expression of Oct-2, BOB.1, and PU.1 transcription factors, and a lack of IgV(H) gene crippling mutations.

The present study has compared immunohistological marker expression profiles and genomic imbalances in seven African endemic Burkitt's lymphomas (eBLs) with those in ten European B-cell lymphomas with MYC rearrangement as shown by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis. eBLs showed a typical histomorphology and a homogeneous immuno-profile: CD10+, CD38+, CD77+, bcl-2-, and IgM+. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA was present in all cases. On comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), only three out of six eBLs showed imbalances (median number of imbalances = 2), with gains on chromosome 17 in two eBLs. The European lymphomas were all highly proliferating, with a Ki-67 index of at least 90%, and included seven with morphology typical of sporadic Burkitt's lymphoma (sBL) and three immunoblastic diffuse large B-cell lymphomas with MYC rearrangement (MYCre+DLBCL). In contrast to eBL, the immuno-profiles of the European lymphomas were less homogeneous and inconsistent for CD10, CD38, CD77, IgM and bcl-2 expression. EBV DNA was not detected. In five of seven sBLs, CGH showed a higher number of imbalances (median = 6), with recurrent gains on chromosome 1q (3/7) and losses on 12q and 17p (2/7), whereas all three MYCre+DLBCLs had fewer imbalances (median = 4), with gains on 17q in two of three lymphomas. It is concluded that eBL has a homogeneous immunohistology and few secondary genomic aberrations, whereas MYC-rearranged and highly proliferating European B-cell lymphomas are a heterogeneous group that includes sBL and a subgroup of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas.

Characteristically, mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) expresses surface immunoglobulin (sIg), CD19, CD20, and CD5 and lacks CD10 and CD23. Rare CD5-MCL variants have been described. This report describes a case of leukemic MCL with morphologically and immunophenotypically distinct classic MCL and blastoid-variant MCL (BV-MCL) components. The classic MCL had typical morphologic features and immunophenotype (kappa sIg light chain-restricted and CD5+; CD10- and CD23-). The BV-MCL had larger nuclei and open chromatin; these cells also were kappa sIg light chain-restricted; however, they were CD10+ and CD5-. Fluorescence in situ hybridization studies demonstrated cyclin D1-immunoglobulin heavy chain gene fusion in both components; the bone marrow biopsy cellularity was replaced by CD10+ and cyclin D1+ and CD5-BV-MCL. This case illustrates the phenotypic heterogeneity of MCL and underscores the need for histopathologic correlation and, in some instances, ancillary genetic studies to accurately classify B-cell lymphomas.

To assess the distribution of lymphomas in Taiwan according to the WHO (World Health Organization) classification, 175 recently diagnosed cases of malignant lymphomas were studied and the clinicopathologic data were analyzed. B-cell lymphomas accounted for 57.1% of cases, T-cell lymphomas 38.9%, and Hodgkin's lymphoma 4%. Extranodal lymphomas predominated (55.4%). The most common subtype of B-cell lymphoma was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (33.1%). All tumor types believed to be derived from germinal center (GC) B-cells including follicular lymphoma (4.6%), Burkitt lymphoma (1.7%), Hodgkin lymphoma (4.0%), and GC-like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (as defined by combined expression of bc1-6 and CD10) were rather uncommon as compared to frequencies seen in series from Western countries. The common T-cell lymphomas included nasal and extranasal NK/T cell lymphoma (7.4%), mycosis fungoides (7.4%), and unspecified peripheral T-cell lymphoma (6.9%). Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma was very uncommon and accounts for only 0.6%. The proportional increase in T-cell lymphomas that were unrelated to type I human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV-1) may be linked to differential Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) oncogenesis. The survival data revealed that mantle cell lymphoma, NK/T-cell lymphoma, unspecified peripheral T-cell lymphoma, and subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma had an aggressive course. Our results confirm the utility of the WHO classification scheme for prognostic stratification and further highlight the distinctive distribution pattern of malignant lymphoma in Taiwan including the higher relative incidence of T cell lymphomas and the rarity of germinal center-derived B-cell tumors.

SHP-1 is an important negative regulator involved in signaling through receptors for cytokine/growth factors, and differential patterns of SHP-1 expression in several types of B-cell lymphomas closely resemble the patterns seen in their normal B cell counterparts. In an effort to elucidate the origin of primary central nervous system lymphomas (PCNSL), the present study assessed 32 cases of PCNSL. Tumors were subclassified according to WHO classification and were evaluated by immunohistochemistry for expression of antigens associated with germinal center (GC) (CD10, Bcl-6) and non-GC stages (SHP-1, CD138). Twenty-nine cases showed diffuse large-cell centroblastic morphology, whereas three cases showed diffuse large-cell immunoblastic morphology. The immunophenotypes of PCNSL were as follows: SHP-1+/Bcl-6-/CD10-/CD138- (12 of 32 cases); SHP-1+/Bcl-6+/CD10-/CD138- (15 of 32 cases); SHP-1+/Bcl-6+/CD10+/CD138- (two of 32 cases); SHP-1+/Bcl-6-/CD10+/CD138- (one of 32 cases); and SHP-1-/Bcl-6-/CD10-/CD138- (two of 32 cases). These results indicate that PCNSL might be distinct lymphomas that originate from a late germinal center to an early postgerminal center.

The associated poor prognosis and potentially aggressive behavior of mantle cell lymphoma and its blastoid variants make differentiation from other non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphomas especially important. We present a case of mantle cell lymphoma with a marked leukemic component, which demonstrated both a typical nodular mantle cell pattern and Burkitt lymphoma within a single lymph node removed at the time of splenectomy. The presence of CD5, CD10, and Bcl-1 co-expression by immunohistochemistry and detectable t(11;14) and cMYC gene rearrangement by FISH analyses in the Burkitt region support a transformation of mantle cell lymphoma over a concomitant malignancy. A limited number of mantle cell lymphomas demonstrating dual t(11;14) and chromosome 8q24 cMYC gene rearrangements have been previously reported in the literature. They demonstrate an extremely aggressive course with a very poor prognosis. Although the accelerated terminal phase of this patient's clinical course mirrors these previous published cases; none have described the combined morphologic and immunophenotypic features of Burkitt lymphoma reported here. This case provides further support for the aggressive nature of these lymphomas and demonstrates the utility of flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and cytogenetic techniques in avoiding potential errors in their diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment.

Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1) is a stromal factor with multiple functions. Overexpression of TIMP-1 correlates with aggressive clinical behavior of a spectrum of tumors. Here, for the first time, we address the role of TIMP-1 in the pathogenesis of B-cell lymphomas. An Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-negative Burkitt lymphoma cell line with ectopic TIMP-1 expression (TIMP-1JD38) was used to identify genes induced/repressed by TIMP-1. Differentially expressed genes were analyzed by cDNA microarray, and they were validated by immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and Western blotting. Analysis revealed changes of genes coding for B-cell growth/differentiation, transcription, and cell cycle regulators. TIMP-1 repressed expression of germinal center (GC) markers CD10, Bcl-6, PAX-5 and up-regulated plasma cell-associated antigens CD138, MUM-1/IRF-4, XBP-1, and CD44, suggesting a plasma cell differentiation. This is accompanied by activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT-3) and switch to cyclin D2 expression. However, TIMP-1JD38 cells expressed an inactive form of XBP-1, lacking antibody production/secretion. This incomplete plasmacytic differentiation occurs without altering cell proliferation, and despite c-Myc deregulation, indicating an arrested plasmacytic/plasmablastic stage of differentiation. Further validation in human lymphoma cell lines and in primary B-cell tumors demonstrated a predominant TIMP-1 expression in tumors with plasmacytic/plasmablastic phenotypes, including multiple myelomas. These findings strongly support TIMP-1 as an important factor in the pathogenesis of plasmacytic/plasmablastic tumors.

CD10 is one of the hallmarks of germinal center B-cells where follicular lymphomas (FL) originate. It has not been clearly established, however, whether CD10(+) diffuse B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL) are genetically similar to FL. We therefore examined 19 CD10(+) DLBCL and 40 FL by means of comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) and tissue-fluorescence in situ hybridization (T-FISH). Chromosomal imbalance was more frequently detected in CD10(+) DLBCLs (19/19) than in FLs (24/40). Significant differences were found in eight frequently imbalanced regions, namely those with gains of chromosomes 7q and 12 and those with losses of chromosomes 1p, 4p, 6q, 15q, 16p and 17. Amplification of the 3q region where BCL6 is located is reported to occur frequently in DLBCL, but it was only found in one of the 19 CD10(+) DLBCL cases we examined. The involvement of t(14;18) in CD10(+)+ DLBCL (31%) and in FL (73%) was significantly different (P = 0.0064). The CGH pattern of CD10(+) DLBCL with t(14;18) was also different from that of FL with t(14;18). Taken together, our results indicate that CD10(+) DLBCL constitutes a unique subtype entity with genetic characteristics significantly different from those of FL and DLBCL.

CD10 expression is considered as a marker of centrofollicular-derived diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL). The aim of our study was to determine retrospectively among 98 patients with DLBCL, enrolled in the LNH93 trial of the Groupe d'Etude des Lymphomes de l'Adulte (GELA) and homogeneously treated with high-dose cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone (CHOP)-like regimen [doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vindesine, bleomycin and prednisone (ACVBP)], the expression of CD10 using immunohistochemistry and its correlation with morphological features and clinical parameters. Of the 98 patients studied, 33 (34%) expressed CD10. There was no correlation among clinical parameters, International Prognostic Index risk groups and CD10 expression, with the exception of lactic dehydrogenase levels, which were lower in CD10-negative cases (P=0.005). There was no significant correlation between CD10 expression and morphological subtyping of DLBCL. Indeed, centrofollicular-derived DLBCL may present with numerous immunoblasts or as an immunoblastic lymphoma. Overall survival rate and event-free survival were not significantly different according to CD10 expression (P=0.44 and P=0.34 respectively). Therefore, it appears that CD10 expression does not influence survival or event-free survival in DLBCL.
