Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) have been ascribed both pro- and anti-tumor properties, but the majority of clinical cancer studies have shown that the presence of a high number of TAM is related to poor prognosis, suggesting that TAM predominantly exert pro-tumoral activity. The prognostic role of TAM in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), however, is so far unknown. Therefore, TAM were immunohistochemically stained with a CD68 antibody in a retrospective, population-based study including 176 DLBCL patients treated with curative intent. With the exception that patients >60 years of age had a larger number of CD68+ cells (1143 vs 1018 cells/mm2 ; P = 0.05), no significant differences were found between the number of CD68+ cells and other clinical factors. Similarly, germinal center B-cell (GCB)/non-GCB immunophenotype or low/high Ki-67 percentage were not associated with CD68 expression. Finally, no significant correlation was found between the number of CD68+ cells and progression-free survival ( P = 0.34) or overall survival ( P = 0.94). These data indicate that the pro-tumor effect of TAM has limited clinical relevance in DLBCL patients, which could imply that therapeutic strategies aimed at enhancing their anti-tumor activity are of continuous clinical interest. 相似文献

An 85-year-old man presented with pain and numbness in the left buttock, and physical examination revealed an approximately 7 cm mass extending from the first to the third sacral vertebrae; biopsy of the mass led to the diagnosis of CD10-negative, BCL6-weakly positive, MUM1-positive, non-germinal center (non-GC) type diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Furthermore, serological testing showed negative results for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) revealed a MYC translocation. Radiographs showed no remarkable osteolytic bone destruction, and the patient was staged with Stage IAE. After 8 cycles of rituximab therapy and 6 cycles of CHOP therapy, complete remission has been maintained until now, approximately 1 year after the treatment. Primary sacral lymphoma is very rare, with only 6 reported cases, including the present one. A review of the reported cases revealed that the disease predominantly affects elderly men, is usually non-GC-type DLBCL and stage IAE, measures approximately 2-7 cm in diameter in general, and does not show early recurrence after chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy. There is no report in the literature yet of primary sacral DLBCL with MYC translocation, and this is the first case report. On the other hand, 35 cases of CD10-negative DLBCL with MYC translocation, including the present one, have been reported, and a review of the reported cases showed that the disease predominantly affects Asians, middle-aged or elderly men, shows positivity for either BCL6 or MUM1 and negativity for EBV, and has a high international prognostic index and poor prognosis. 相似文献

Lymphoma of different histologic type can occur in the same patient. Here, we describe a 64-year-old male patient with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) who subsequently developed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). At the time of initial diagnosis, histologic examination of a left inguinal lymph node of the patient and a monoclonal pattern of TCRβ gene rearrangement showed typical features of AITL, and there was no evidence of a monoclonal B-cell population. Twenty-six months later, he had generalized lymphadenopathy and organs involvement by DLBCL. A monoclonal IgH gene rearrangement proved de novo development of secondary B-cell lymphoma and excluded relapse of a primary composite lymphoma. The in situ hybridization analysis showed Epstein-Barr-encoded RNA (EBER) sporadic positivity in sample collected from AITL but extensive positivity in the immunoblasts collected from DLBCL. Our observation supports the hypothesis that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is etiologically related to AITL in this case. Clonal expansion of EBV-associated DLBCL is a secondary event in AITL via EBV infection or reactivation. 相似文献

Variability in immunophenotype in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and its clinical relevance 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the single largest category of lymphoma, is a clinically and biologically heterogeneous disease entity. Clinically, patients differ in their mode of presentation and respond variably to therapy. A combination of clinical parameters can be used to predict the patient's response to therapy and survival. The pathological variability of DLBCL is expressed in morphology, immunophenotype, cytogenetic and molecular genetic features. Numerous markers detectable by immunohistochemistry and linked to different aspects of tumour biology have been studied in DLBCL, including lineage-associated and immune markers, proliferation and apoptosis markers, cell adhesion molecules, and more recently stage-specific markers of B-cell differentiation. This review summarizes these studies in regard to their clinical significance and in the light of recent advances in our understanding of the molecular pathology and histogenesis of DLBCL. 相似文献

AIMS: Inhibition of apoptosis is important in the pathogenesis of lymphomas. c-FLIP, a regulator of caspase 8-mediated apoptosis, plays an important role in protecting normal B and T cells from apoptosis and possibly also in lymphomas. Because of contradictory reports about immunohistochemical detection of c-FLIP expression, the aim was to test the specificity of four antibodies in c-FLIP-transfected cells and subsequently to investigate expression of c-FLIP in different types of lymphoma. METHODS AND RESULTS: Two of four antibodies were specific. In primary lymphomas c-FLIP expression was restricted to Hodgkin's lymphomas (> 90%) and diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (44%). Burkitt lymphomas and indolent B-cell lymphomas were negative in all cases. No expression was detected in primary T-cell lymphomas, although expression was observed in one relapsed ALK+ anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Expression of c-FLIP was inversely correlated with caspase 8 activation. CONCLUSIONS: c-FLIP is important in escape of B cells from apoptosis during normal follicle centre cell reaction and may thus be an important early event in the development of B-cell-derived lymphomas. Moreover, non-specific staining of frequently used antibodies might explain discrepancies in different reports of c-FLIP expression. 相似文献

We conducted a trial testing a CD20-specific CAR coupled with CD137 and the CD3ζ moiety in patients with chemotherapy refractory advanced diffuse large B cell lymphomas (DLBCL). Seven patients were enrolled. One of the two patients with no bulky tumor obtained a 14-month durable and ongoing complete remission by cell infusion only, and another attained a 6-month tumor regression. Four of five patients with bulky tumor burden were evaluable for clinical efficacy, three of which attained 3- to 6-month tumor regression. Delayed toxicities related to cell infusion are directly correlated to tumor burden and tumor-harboring sites, and mainly included cytokine release symptoms, tumor lysis symptoms, massive hemorrhage of the alimentary tract and aggressive intrapulmonary inflammation surrounding extranodal lesions. These results show firstly that anti-CD20 CART cells can cause prolonged tumor regression in combination with debulking conditioning regimens for advanced DLBCL. This study is registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01735604. 相似文献

Cotta C V, Coleman J F, Li S & Hsi E D (2011) Histopathology 59 , 1194–1203 Nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma and diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma: a study of six cases concurrently involving the same site Aims: Nodular lymphocyte‐predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) is a slowly progressing neoplasm with a favourable prognosis. However, in a minority of cases (3–12%) it progresses to a clonally related diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL), diagnosed between 6 months and 24 years after NLPHL. This study investigated six cases of NLPHL and DLBCL at the same location. Methods and results: The patients were five men and one woman. In four cases, the site was an axillary lymph node, and in two it was inguinal. In all cases, NLPHL areas had typical morphological and immunophenotypic features. DLBCL involvement was multifocal, diffuse, and characterized by large centroblastic and anaplastic cells. Immunohistochemical studies showed DLBCL cells to be positive for CD20, CD45, and BCL6. In one case, DLBCL cells were positive for BCL2, and in two cases they were positive for MUM‐1. There were no networks of follicular dendritic cells (FDC) associated with DLBCL. Rosettes of PD‐1‐positive and CD57‐positive cells surrounding malignant cells in NLPHL were absent in DLBCL. All the cases were negative for Epstein–Barr virus. No translocations involving MYC were identified in DLBCL. Treatment and outcome were known in four cases. All of these patients were treated with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R‐CHOP), and this was followed by clinical remission (CR). Conclusions: In adequately sampled tumors, DLBCL can be associated with NLPHL at diagnosis. Diffuse architecture, loss of FDC networks, sometimes immunophenotype shift are characteristics of DLBCL associated with NLPHL. Treatment with R‐CHOP usually leads to CR. 相似文献

We investigated the expression and clinical significance of leptin receptor (OBR), p-STAT3 and p-AKT in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) by immunohistochemical analysis. Immunohistochemistry revealed high expression of OBR, p-STAT3 and p-AKT in 45.0% (36/80), 28.8% (23/80) and 18.8% (15/80) cases of DLBCL, respectively, and minimal staining in 100% (20/20) cases of RLH (P < 0.05). Compared with GCB group, the non-GCB group had higher p-STAT3 expression rate (21/57 vs. 2/23, P < 0.01). The expression of OBR was positively related with that of p-STAT3 and p-AKT in DLBCL patients (P < 0.05). Our data suggest that OBR stimulates the JAK/STAT and PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and induces the phosphorylation of STAT3 and AKT. This may be involved in carcinogenesis and prognosis of DLBCL. The specific inhibitions could interfere in the combination of leptin with OBR and obstruct the JAK/STAT and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways, which could lead to new research and treatment strategies for DLBCL treatment. 相似文献

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) rarely involves the duodenum, and its clinicopathological characteristics have not been well elucidated. We performed clinicopathological examinations and identified 15 patients with duodenal DLBCL using 18 gastric or colonic DLBCL as a control. Eleven of the 15 patients (73%) were subclassified by immunohistochemical analysis according to the Choi algorithm as germinal center B-cell-like (GCB) type, whereas the 18 control gastric and colonic DLBCL were predominantly subclassified as activated B-cell-like (ABC) type. The classifications according to organ involvement were statistically significant (P= 0.011 and P= 0.035). Macroscopically, the GCB lesions were varied, while all ABC lesions were ulcerative. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis revealed a higher frequency of t(14;18) translocation in patients with duodenal DLBCL (3 of 13) as compared with non-duodenal gastrointestinal tract DLBCL (0 of 18), however, the difference was not significant (P = 0.064). Furthermore, the three patients with t(14;18) translocations were classified as GCB. In addition, overall survival of patients was statistically different between those with and without t(14;18) translocation (P= 0.040). In conclusion, duodenal DLBCL predominantly exhibits GCB-type tumors and the frequency of t(14;18) translocation appears to be higher in duodenal GCB-type DLBCL compared to non-duodenal tumors. 相似文献

Methods and results: Double immunohistochemical staining of HLA‐DR/CD68 (M1) or CD163/CD68 (M2) was performed in 101 cases of DLBCL. CD68+ cells represent the total number of TAMs. The average number of double‐positive cells was counted, and the cut‐off value was set at the mean number of counts, i.e. 30.7 and 27.0 for M1 TAMs and M2 TAMs, respectively. That for total TAMs was set at the 90th percentile number of total counts, i.e. 132.3. Cases were categorized into three pairs: high (34 cases) and low (67 cases) M1 TAM groups, high (39 cases) and low (62 cases) M2 TAM groups, and high (10 cases) and low (91 cases) total TAM groups. The difference in overall survival rates was statistically significant between the high and low M2 TAM groups (P < 0.01) and between the high and low total TAM groups (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that the presence of a bulky mass and a higher number of M2 TAMs were significant factors for poor prognosis (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Estimation of specific type of macrophages, of the M1 and M2 types, is superior to the estimation of TAMs as a whole (CD68+ cells) for prediction of the prognosis of DLBCL patients. 相似文献

Introduction
Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Although gender has not been included in prognostic systems, male gender has been found as a bad prognostic indicator in Hodgkin lymphoma, follicular lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The relationship between gender and prognosis is not clear in patients with DLBCL treated with rituximab-containing regimens. The aim of this meta-analysis is to determine the prognostic/predictive role of gender in patients with DLBCL treated with rituximab-containing regimens.Material and methods
We systematically searched for studies investigating the relationships between gender and prognosis in DLBCL treated with rituximab-containing regimens. After careful review, survival data were extracted from eligible studies. A meta-analysis was performed to generate combined hazard ratios for overall survival, disease-free survival (DFS) and event-free survival (EFS).Results
A total of 5635 patients from 20 studies were included in the analysis. Our results showed that male gender was associated with poor prognosis in terms of overall survival (OS) (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.155; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.037–1.286; p < 0.009). The pooled hazard ratio for DFS and EFS showed that male gender was not statistically significant (HR = 1.219; 95% CI: 0.782–1.899; p = 0.382, HR = 0.809; 95% CI: 0.577–1.133; p = 0.217).Conclusions
The present meta-analysis indicated male gender to be associated with a poor prognosis in patients with DLBCL treated with rituximab-containing regimens. 相似文献18.

Some histone deacetylases (HDACs) promote tumor cell growth and pan‐ or selective HDAC inhibitors are active in some cancers; however, the pivotal HDAC enzyme and its functions in human diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) remain largely unknown. Using NanoString nCounter assays, we profiled HDAC mRNA expression and identified HDAC6 as an upregulated HDAC family member in DLBCL tissue samples. We then found that HDAC6 plays an oncogenic role in DLBCL, as evidenced by its promotion of cell proliferation in vitro and tumor xenograft growth in vivo. Mechanistically, the interaction between HDAC6 and HR23B downregulated HR23B expression, thereby reducing the levels of casitas B‐lineage lymphoma (c‐Cbl), an E3 ubiquitin ligase for hepatocyte growth factor receptor (MET), which resulted in the inhibition of MET ubiquitination‐dependent degradation. In addition, enhanced HDAC6 expression and decreased HR23B expression were correlated with poor overall survival rates among patients with DLBCL. Taken together, these results establish an HDAC6–HR23B–MET axis and indicate that HDAC6 is a potent promoter of lymphomagenesis in DLBCL. Thus, a therapeutic strategy based on HDAC6 inhibitors in combination with MET inhibitors is promising. Copyright © 2018 Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland.

A case of sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP) associated with liver cirrhosis (LC) and complicated by diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is reported herein. A 49-year-old Japanese man had undergone peritoneo-venous shunt against refractory ascites due to hepatitis C virus-positive uncompensated LC for 2 years. After he received a diagnosis of DLBCL of the left neck lymph node 3 months before his death, palliative care was given because of his poor general condition. He developed severe abdominal distention and pain over 1 week and was found to have marked ascites and whole bowel lumped together on abdominal CT. At autopsy, the peritoneum was covered with a thick white membrane and the bowel could not be distinguished, which was macroscopically characterized by a cocoon-like appearance. Histology indicated a proliferation of diffusely thickened or hyalinized fibrocollagenous tissue in the entire peritoneum with a slight chronic inflammatory infiltrate and without remarkable change of mucosa. A diagnosis of SEP, also known as abdominal cocoon, was established based on these features. Additionally, in the abdominal cavity, a large amount of serous ascites and multiple peritoneal nodules or masses involved by DLBCL were recognized. To the authors' knowledge this is the first case report of SEP associated with LC and complicated by the invasion of DLBCL in the abdominal cavity. 相似文献

Aigner F, Korol D, Schmitt A M & Kurrer M O (2012) Histopathology 60, 774–784 Extranodal diffuse large B cell lymphoma of cutaneous follicle centre lymphoma type: a study of 24 patients with non‐cutaneous primary limited stage extranodal diffuse large B cell lymphoma in support of a new concept Aims: Follicle centre cell lymphoma of small cell type showing either a follicular or diffuse growth pattern similar to cutaneous follicle centre lymphoma (cFCL) has been recognized in extranodal non‐cutaneous sites. Our aim was (i) to investigate whether diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of cFCL type could be identified in extranodal non‐cutaneous sites and (ii) whether clinical characteristics similar to primary cFCL could be recognized. Methods and results: Of 24 extranodal non‐cutaneous DLBCLs, nine (38%) had large centrocytoid morphology and 15 (62%) were either ‘centrocytoid and centroblastic’ or ‘centroblastic and immunoblastic’. Six centrocytoid cases were Irf‐4 negative, Bcl‐6 positive and at most weakly CD10‐ or Bcl‐2‐positive by immunohistochemistry, consistent with DLBCL of cFCL type. All patients with cFCL type were stage IE and were significantly younger than other patients. Recurrences occurred in two patients and were exclusively extranodal. Conclusion: Our results suggest that DLBCL of cFCL type can be identified in extranodal non‐cutaneous sites and shows clinical characteristics similar to genuine cFCL. We propose to expand the concept of cFCL to encompass large cell lymphomas in extranodal sites. 相似文献
