Infectious agents play a critical role in MALT lymphoma development. Studies from Italy showed Chlamydia psittaci infection in 87% of ocular adnexal MALT lymphomas and complete or partial regression of the lymphoma after C. psittaci eradication in four of nine cases. However, C. psittaci was not demonstrated in ocular adnexal MALT lymphomas from the USA. This study was thus designed to investigate further the role of C. psittaci, and other infectious agents commonly associated with chronic eye disease, in the development of ocular adnexal MALT lymphoma. The presence of C. psittaci, C. trachomatis, C. pneumoniae, herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 (HSV1, HSV2), and adenovirus 8 and 19 (ADV8, ADV19) was assessed separately by polymerase chain reaction in 142 ocular adnexal MALT lymphomas, 53 non-marginal zone lymphomas, and 51 ocular adnexal biopsies without a lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD), from six geographical regions. C. psittaci was detected at similar low frequencies in non-LPD and non-marginal zone lymphoma groups from different geographical regions (0-14%). Overall, the prevalence of C. psittaci was significantly higher in MALT lymphomas (22%) than in non-LPD (10%, p=0.042) and non-marginal zone lymphoma cases (9%, p=0.033). However, the prevalence of C. psittaci infection in MALT lymphoma showed marked variation among the six geographical regions examined, being most frequent in Germany (47%), followed by the East Coast of the USA (35%) and the Netherlands (29%), but relatively low in Italy (13%), the UK (12%), and Southern China (11%). No significant differences in the detection of C. pneumoniae, C. trachomatis, HSV1, HSV2, ADV8, and ADV19 were found between lymphomas and controls from different geographical regions. In conclusion, our results show that C. psittaci, but not C. pneumoniae, C. trachomatis, HSV1, HSV2, ADV8 or ADV19, is associated with ocular adnexal MALT lymphoma and that this association is variable in different geographical areas. 相似文献

High incidence of B-cell monoclonality in follicular gastritis: a possible association between follicular gastritis and MALT lymphoma 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Many studies have indicated a close association between gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma and Helicobacter pylori ( Hp) infection. Follicular gastritis (FG), a rare type of gastritis, is also closely associated with Hp infection and histologically similar to MALT lymphoma. However, there are few studies investigating the relationship between FG and MALT lymphoma. To clarify the issue, we examined the B-cell monoclonality in FG by immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) gene rearrangement. Seventy FG patients (all Hp-positive, 23 males and 47 females, median age 33 yr) were investigated; 70 age-and gender-matched non-FG Hp-positive controls and 24 non-FG Hp-negative controls were also examined. Two gastric biopsies, one from the antrum and one from the corpus, were obtained from each patient. DNA was extracted from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded biopsy specimens. IgH gene rearrangement was examined by semi-nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In the antral mucosa, monoclonal B-cell populations were detected in 19 (32%) of 60 FG, in 6 (10%) of 60 Hp-positive controls, and in none of 20 Hp-negative controls. In the corporal mucosa, monoclonal B-cell populations were detected in 14 (30%) of 47 FG, in 6 (11%) of 54 Hp-positive controls, and in none of 20 Hp-negative controls. The incidence of monoclonal B-cell populations in the FG patients was higher than in both Hp-positive and Hp-negative controls ( P<0.05). The monoclonal B-cell populations disappeared after successful Hp eradication in 8 of 8 FG patients examined. These data suggest that FG may be strongly associated with MALT lymphoma, and that Hp eradication therapy may be indicated in FG. 相似文献

AIMS: While it may be difficult to discriminate between chronic gastritis, MALT lymphoma and a gastric location of a nodal lymphoma using histology of small endoscopic biopsies alone, additional markers like CD10, CD75 and CD43 and proliferative activity may be of value. We assessed the expression of these antigens in MALT lymphoma and their usefulness in discriminating MALT lymphoma from follicular lymphoma and from gastritis. METHODS AND RESULTS: Tissue samples of 38 patients with gastric MALT lymphoma were immunohistochemically stained for expression of CD10, CD75 and/or CD43. Proliferation index was scored using MIB-1 staining. Ten cases of nodal follicle centre B-cell lymphomas (n = 11) and 18 cases of high-grade MALT lymphoma (n = 22) showed moderate to high CD75 expression (25-100% positive cells). All tested low-grade MALT lymphomas (n = 9) and chronic gastritis (n = 6) were negative (0-25%) for CD75. All MALT lymphomas (n = 25) were negative for CD10. High-grade lymphomas show significantly higher proliferation indices (67% vs. 16%) than low-grade lymphomas. Only four of 26 MALT lymphomas were slightly positive for CD43. All gastritis biopsies (n = 4) were negative for CD43. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that combining both CD10 and CD75 may be useful in discriminating between low-grade MALT, high-grade MALT lymphoma and extranodal location of follicular lymphoma. However, CD43 expression cannot in the majority of cases be used to distinguish between low-grade MALT lymphoma and gastritis. 相似文献

AIMS: To investigate the clinicopathological differences among gastric low grade MALT lymphomas (low MALT), large B cell lymphomas with low grade components (secondary high grade MALT lymphomas, high MALT), and diffuse large B cell lymphomas without low grade features (primary high grade MALT lymphomas, DLL). METHODS: Clinicopathological and morphological characters of 126 gastric lymphoma cases were studied: 82 cases of low MALT lymphoma including 40 that were surgically resected, 17 cases of high MALT lymphoma including 13 surgically resected, and 27 cases of DLL including 12 surgically resected. RESULTS: Age ranges were as follows: low MALT lymphoma, 34 to 85 years (mean 59.9); high MALT lymphoma, 53 to 88 years (mean 68.5); DLL, 29 to 83 years (mean 62.3). The average age for low and high MALT lymphomas was significantly different (p < 0.05), but there were no differences in other comparisons. There was a female predominance of low MALT lymphoma patients (female to male ratio, 47/35), while for high MALT patients the ratio was almost even (8/9), and for DLL patients there was a male predominance (11/16). Examination of surgically resected material showed that MALT lymphomas had a wider distribution in the gastric wall than DLL. CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that at least some of the high grade gastric lymphomas, especially in patients younger than the fifth decade, do not originate from high grade transformation of low MALT lymphomas. It seems to take about one decade at least for high grade transformation of low MALT lymphomas. 相似文献

Oncoprotein MDM2 overexpression is associated with poor prognosis in distinct non-Hodgkin's lymphoma entities. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
MDM2 is an oncoprotein involved in the regulation of p53. MDM2 exerts its tumorigenic potential through p53-dependent and -independent mechanisms. It is frequently overexpressed in various malignancies. Little is known about the prognostic value of MDM2 expression in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL). We analyzed MDM2 expression immunohistochemically in 188 NHL cases from a prospective population-based NHL registry. The aim was to identify MDM2 expression profiles in various histological NHL subtypes and analyze whether MDM2 expression correlated with clinical variables and p53 status. MDM2 overexpression was present in 42 (22%) of 188 cases. The frequency was highest in aggressive/very aggressive NHL (P < .0001). Furthermore, within follicle center lymphomas, MDM2 overexpression was associated with higher-grade disease (P = .008). MDM2 overexpression was not related to a phenotype indicating altered p53. In univariate analysis MDM2 overexpression associated with short survival in follicle center lymphomas (P = .0256), extranodal marginal zone lymphomas (P < .0001), and mantle cell lymphomas (P = .0047). The relation to poor prognosis was maintained in a Cox regression analysis including known prognostic factors (relative risk 5.5, P = .0022). The results of the present study suggest that MDM2 may play a role in lymphomagenesis and lymphoma progression through p53-independent mechanisms, and that MDM2 overexpression identifies a small fraction of follicle center lymphomas, extranodal marginal zone lymphomas, and mantle cell lymphomas with poor prognosis. 相似文献

A 62-yr-old man presented with a 5-yr history of intermittent abdominal distention and pain. These symptoms persisted for several months and subsided without treatment. A diagnosis of suspected small bowel lymphoma was made based on plain radiograph and computerized tomogram findings, and he was referred to our institution for further evaluation. Segmental resection of the small intestine was performed and the diagnosis of marginal zone B-cell lymphoma associated with amyloidosis was made. This is the first case of marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) in the small intestine associated with amyloidosis in Korea. 相似文献

We report a case of crystal-storing histiocytosis (CSH) associated with mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma
of the ocular adnexa. The patient was an 81-year-old woman who presented with a 5-month history of a slowly enlarging tumor
on her left lower eyelid. The tumor was 2 cm in the largest diameter, involving both inferior oblique and inferior rectus
muscles. Histological examination revealed that the tumor was composed predominantly of sheets of spindle-shaped cells resembling
striated muscle cells, and scattered aggregates of atypical lymphoid cells at the periphery of the tumor, showing prominent
plasmacytoid differentiation. Immunohistochemical and ultrastructural analyses demonstrated that the spindle-shaped cells
were CD68-positive histiocytes containing abundant rod-like and/or rectangular crystals in their cytoplasm, consistent with
the diagnosis of CSH. The scattered aggregates of atypical lymphoid cells were diagnosed as MALT lymphoma based upon their
immunophenotype, featuring diffusely positive staining for CD20, but negative for CD3, CD5, and CD10, and monotypic expression
of IgM-kappa in cells with plasmacytoid differentiation. Although CSH is a well-recognized manifestation in lymphoproliferative
disorders in the literature, CSH complicated by MALT lymphoma has only very rarely been reported. Given the rarity of this,
difficulties in diagnosis may arise especially in cases where histiocytic proliferation overwhelms the underlying lymphoproliferative
diseases. 相似文献

Streptococcus iniae causes meningoencephalitis and death in commercial fish species and has recently been identified as an emerging human pathogen producing fulminant soft tissue infection. As identified by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), strains causing disease in either fish or humans belong to a single clone, whereas isolates from nondiseased fish are genetically diverse. In this study, we used in vivo and in vitro models to examine the pathogenicity of disease-associated isolates. Strains with the clonal (disease-associated) PFGE profile were found to cause significant weight loss and bacteremia in a mouse model of subcutaneous infection. As little as 10(2) CFU of a disease-associated strain was sufficient to establish bacteremia, with higher inocula (10(7)) resulting in increased mortality. In contrast, non-disease-associated (commensal) strains failed to cause bacteremia and weight loss, even at inocula of 10(8) CFU. In addition, disease-associated strains were more resistant to phagocytic clearance in a human whole blood killing assay compared to commensal strains, which were almost entirely eradicated. Disease-associated strains were also cytotoxic to human endothelial cells as measured by lactate dehydrogenase release from host cells. However, both disease-associated and commensal strains adhered to and invaded cultured human epithelial and endothelial cells equally well. While cellular invasion may still contribute to the pathogenesis of invasive S. iniae disease, resistance to phagocytic clearance and direct cytotoxicity appear to be discriminating virulence attributes of the disease-associated clone. 相似文献

Little is known about the temporal changes in Helicobacter pylori density and B-cell clonality during the evolution from chronic gastritis to gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. Biopsied specimens from 28 patients with chronic gastritis who developed gastric MALT lymphoma (group A) and from 24 similar patients who did not (group B) during an equivalent follow-up period (mean, 42 months) were retrospectively scored for histological features of MALT lymphoma (0 to 5) and H. pylori density (0 to 3). B-cell clonality was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). During the observation period, the H. pylori density in group A decreased significantly in comparison with group B; the mean change in H. pylori density (final minus initial density) per 1000 days was -1.4 for group A and +0.2 for group B (P < 0.005). Monoclonality was detected more frequently in group A (79%) than in group B (21%; P < 0.005), and it preceded the histological evidence of malignant transformation in 64% of those patients who showed monoclonality in group A. These results suggest that H. pylori is thus more closely associated with the precursor or initial phase in the genesis of gastric MALT lymphoma than with the later phase, as its density decreases as the tumor progresses. The detection of B-cell monoclonality by PCR is thus of possible use for predicting the histological genesis of gastric lymphoma. 相似文献

This is a case report of a 66-year-old woman who consulted us with a 1-week history of postprandial epigastric discomfort
and dyspepsia. Upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy and double-balloon enteroscopy revealed lesions in three parts:
a swelling with a shallow depression in the ampulla of Vater, flat and rough nodules in the jejunum, and a mixture of lymphoid
polyposis and rough surface of follicular lymphoma of the terminal ileum and Bauhin valve. The histological, immunophenotypic,
and molecular findings of the duodenal lesion confirmed the diagnosis of follicular lymphoma. We initially diagnosed the ileal
lesion as MALT lymphoma immunohistochemically. However, Southern blot hybridization analysis for immunoglobulin heavy chain
gene rearrangement showed identical monoclonal bands in both the duodenal and ileal lesions. The molecular cytogenetic studies
were also positive for the 14;18 translocation in both lesions. Therefore, the true diagnosis of this ileal lesion should
be a follicular lymphoma with marginal zone differentiation. Primary follicular lymphomas of gastrointestinal tract were suggested
to have intermediate features between nodal follicular lymphoma and MALT lymphoma. This case is an important clue to prove
the similarity of follicular lymphoma of gastrointestinal tract to MALT lymphoma and will be crucial in considering the therapeutic
strategy. 相似文献

Expression of adhesion molecule in low-grade B-cell mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract has been reported in recent years, but these reports have primarily focused on low-grade gastrointestinal MALT lymphoma. In this study, we examined the lymphocytic homing receptor alpha4beta7 integrin, L-selectin, and VLA-4 and mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1 (MAdCAM-1) in low-grade lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract and other organs such as the ocular adnexa and thyroid. We also observed changes in the expression pattern associated with high-grade transformation. Neoplastic cells in the gastrointestinal low-grade lymphoma and the low-grade component of high-grade MALT lymphoma were found to be alpha4beta7 integrin(+), L-selectin(+), whereas the gastrointestinal high-grade component and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma were found to be alpha4beta7 integrin(-), L-selectin(-). High endothelial venules in the gastric MALT lymphomas expressed MAdCAM-1. In the ocular adnexa low-grade MALT lymphoma, most cases were alpha4beta7 integrin(-), L-selectin(+); and in the thyroid, most cases of both low- and high-grade MALT lymphoma were alpha4beta7 integrin(-), L-selectin(-). These findings show that alpha4beta7 integrin and L-selectin may play an important role in the lymphocyte homing of gastrointestinal low-grade MALT lymphoma and in the loss of alpha4beta7 integrin expression throughout the course of high-grade progression. 相似文献

PurposeJARID2, located on chromosome 6p22.3, is a regulator of histone methyltransferase complexes that is expressed in human neurons. So far, 13 individuals sharing clinical features including intellectual disability (ID) were reported with de novo heterozygous deletions in 6p22–p24 encompassing the full length JARID2 gene (OMIM 601594). However, all published individuals to date have a deletion of at least one other adjoining gene, making it difficult to determine if JARID2 is the critical gene responsible for the shared features. We aim to confirm JARID2 as a human disease gene and further elucidate the associated clinical phenotype.MethodsChromosome microarray analysis, exome sequencing, and an online matching platform (GeneMatcher) were used to identify individuals with single-nucleotide variants or deletions involving JARID2.ResultsWe report 16 individuals in 15 families with a deletion or single-nucleotide variant in JARID2. Several of these variants are likely to result in haploinsufficiency due to nonsense-mediated messenger RNA (mRNA) decay. All individuals have developmental delay and/or ID and share some overlapping clinical characteristics such as facial features with those who have larger deletions involving JARID2.ConclusionWe report that JARID2 haploinsufficiency leads to a clinically distinct neurodevelopmental syndrome, thus establishing gene–disease validity for the purpose of diagnostic reporting. 相似文献

The “heterozygote advantage” hypothesis has been postulated regarding the role of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), where homozygous loci are associated with an increased risk of disease. In this retrospective study, we analyzed the HLA homozygosity of 3789 patients with aplastic anemia (AA), acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), multiple myeloma (MM), and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) at HLA-A, B, C, DRB1 and DQB1 loci compared to 169,964 normal controls. HLA homozygosity at one or more loci was only associated with an increased risk in NHL patients (OR = 1.28, 95% CI [1.09, 1.50], p = 0.002). This association was not seen in any of the other hematologic diseases. Homozygosity at HLA-A alone, HLA-B + C only, and HLA-DRB1 + DQB1 only was also significantly associated with NHL. Finally, we observed a 17% increased risk of NHL with each additional homozygous locus (OR per locus = 1.17, 95% CI [1.08, 1.25], p trend = 2.4 × 10?5). These results suggest that reduction of HLA diversity could predispose individuals to an increased risk of developing NHL. 相似文献

T-zone lymphoma with predominance of 'plasmacytoid T-cells' associated with myelomonocytic leukaemia--a distinct clinicopathological entity 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
In this paper we present a further case of a new clinicopathological entity combining a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma with a myelomonocytic leukaemia. The characteristic feature of the lymphoma is massive infiltration of the T-zones of lymph nodes by plasmacytoid cells originally described by Lennert in non-specific lymphadenitis. Two lymphoma cases of this type have recently been published, by Müller-Hermelink et al. who named the cells 'plasmacytoid T-cells' (PTC), and by Prasthofer et al. These three cases have similar clinical and pathological features and appear to form a distinct clinicopathological entity. In contrast to the two previously published cases the present lymphoma also contained irregular lymphoid cells accompanying the PTC in the lymph node lesion and focally infiltrating the bone marrow. An accumulation of polytypic IgG positive plasma cells was observed in the remaining lymph node follicles. Immunohistological analysis with a range of monoclonal antibodies showed the PTC of our case to be CD5(T1)+, CD4(T4)+, CD3(T3)-, CD8(T8)-, CD2(T11)-, and CD25(TAC)-, but HLA-DR+ and transferrin receptor positive. The nature of this peculiar lymphoid lesion and its relationship to myelomonocytic leukaemia are discussed. 相似文献

Siegesbeckia yellow vein virus is a distinct begomovirus associated with a satellite DNA molecule 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary Leaf samples of Siegesbeckia glabrescens showing yellow vein, enation, and stunting symptoms were collected in Guangdong province, China. A specific 500-bp product
was consistently detected in total DNA extracts, amplified with universal primers specific for members of the genus Begomovirus. Comparison of partial DNA sequences revealed that these virus isolates were identical, and therefore isolates GD13, GD24
and GD27 were selected for further sequence analysis. The complete nucleotide sequences of GD13, GD24 and GD27 were all found
to be 2768 nucleotides (nts) long, with two open reading frames (ORFs) in the virion-sense strand and four ORFs in the complementary-sense
strand, typical of the Old World begomoviruses. Sequence identities among the three isolates ranged from 99.7 to 99.8%. When
compared with other reported sequences of begomoviruses, GD13 was most closely related to papaya leaf curl China virus (AJ876548),
with a sequence identity of 76.8%. In addition, all isolates were found to be associated with DNAβ molecules. The complete
DNAβ sequences of isolates GD13, GD24 and GD27 were determined. Sequence analysis showed that they had highest sequence identity
with DNAβ of Eupatorium yellow vein virus (AJ438938) (44.0, 43.9 and 45.6% identity). GD13, GD24 and GD27 are considered to
be isolates of a distinct begomovirus species for which the name Siegesbeckia yellow vein virus (SgYVV) is proposed. 相似文献
