Expression of BCL-2 oncoprotein on tumor cells and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) in meningiomas

The Expression of the antiapoptotic oncoprotein BCL-2 and its correlation to tumor grade in 62 meningiomas (48 classic, 9 atypical, and 5 anaplastic) using single and double immunohistochemistry was investigated. BCL-2 expression was found in two different cell populations identified as lymphocytes (BCL-2+CD3+) and tumor cells (BCL+/CD3–). Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) (CD3+) were found within classic (9.5% of cells), atypical (2.4% of cells), and anaplastic (1.8% of cells) meningiomas. In classic meningiomas, 66.5% of TIL were BCL-2-positive, in atypical meningiomas 79.2%, and in anaplastic meningiomas 37.9%. In 33 (68.8%) of the classic meningiomas, medium to high counts of BCL-2+ tumor cells were detected. Atypical meningiomas showed nearly equal percentages of high (two patients), medium (five patients), and low (two patients) BCL-2+ tumor cell counts, whereas anaplastic meningiomas showed only medium (two patients) and low (three patients) BCL-2 tumor cell counts or were BCL-2-negative (one patient). In summary, a significant inverse correlation between the number of BCL-2-positive tumor cells and tumor grade in meningiomas was found. These findings support the hypothesis of cell survival prolongation by the antiapoptotic ability of BCL-2 proto- oncogenes and demonstrate the prognostic relevance of BCL-2 immunoreactivity in meningiomas.

Tentorial Meningiomas. Report on Twenty-Seven Cases

Summary ? Objective. Report our experience with 27 tentorial meningiomas (TM) surgically treated between 1985 and 1998.  Methods. The records of 27 patients with TMs were retrospectively reviewed for clinical presentation, neuroradiological evaluation, surgical treatment and long-term outcome. The extent of tumor resection was scored according to the Simpson's grading for tumor removal. Long-term results were evaluated according to the Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS).  Results. The average age was 53 years. Female predominance was 74%. The most common complaints at presentation were headaches (51%), gait ataxia (33%), memory disturbances (30%) and hypo-acousia (30%). A classification of TMs into 5 subgroups according to tumor site is proposed on the basis of imaging studies. A cerebrospinal fluid shunt was established prior to direct approach in 7 patients and as the sole procedure in one inoperable patient. Twenty-seven direct approaches were undertaken in 26 patients, including 17 infratentorial and 10 supratentorial approaches. Total tumor removal was achieved in 20 patients (77%) and subtotal removal in 6 (23%). Fifteen patients (55%) experienced 22 postoperative complications. One patient died three months after a subtotal resection (mortality=3,7%). With a mean follow-up of 54 months, all 26 survivors are currently alive with 23 having resumed their normal activities and 3 needing assistance. Five of 6 patients with subtotal resection survived and were followed for a period ranging from 72 to 132 months: none showed residual tumor progression and no re-operation was considered. An additional patient experienced a ?true? recurrence 6 years after total removal, with no tumor progression 2 years after his recurrence was recognized.  Discussion. The best surgical approach to TMs is still a controversial matter. The advantages and drawbacks of conventional versus transbasal approaches are reviewed. Our experience suggests that subtotal removal can be associated with long recurrence-free intervals and preserved quality of life. TMs located at the tentorial edge carried a definitely worse prognosis than peripheral forms.     

Chromosomal losses and gains in meningiomas: Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) study of the whole genome

Abstract

We investigated chromosomal aberrations in meningiomas using newly developed comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) technique and compared the results with the proliferating potential of the tumors. This technique permits the entire genome to be surveyed in one session of experiments. Our results revealed chromosomal aberrations in 5 out of 10 (50%) of the tumor samples studied. Losses of the distal parts of chromosome 1p (5 out of 10) and 22q (3 out of 10) were the two most frequent chromosomal aberrations. Losses and/or gains in other regions were only sporadic. The MIB-1 staining indices (MIB-511 %) were 1.9 ± 0.9% (mean ± SD) in benign (n = 8)1 4.5% in atypical (n = 1)1 and 11.7% in anaplastic (n = 1) meningiomas. The comparison of MIB-51 between the tumors with (2.3 ± 0.6%) and without (7.6 ± 0.3%) chromosomal aberrations demonstrated a trend towards an increased MIB-51 in meningiomas with chromosomal aberrations (p < 0.07) by unpaired 5tudent1s t-test. This study suggests that alterations in chromosomes 1p and 22q could be a primary focus of further detailed assessment of tumorigenesis and in understanding the biological behavior of meningiomas.

Clinical features and surgical outcomes of high-grade spinal meningiomas: Report of 19 cases and literature review

High-grade spinal meningiomas (SMs) are extremely rare lesions. The true incidence, clinical features and prognosis of SMs are still unclear. To elucidate this information by using institutional data and to provide an updated review of the literature. Nineteen consecutive patients harboring 20 high-grade SMs were identified, including 15 (78.9%) female patients, with a mean age of 37.8 ± 14.9 years. The 20 tumors were most frequently located in the lumbar and lumbosacral segment (n = 6, 30.0%), followed by the cervical segment (n = 5, 25.0%), thoracolumbar junction (n = 4, 20.0%), thoracic (n = 3, 15.0%) and cervicothoracic junction (n = 2, 10.0%). The mean number of affected spinal levels was 2 ± 1. Simpson grade II and III resection were achieved for sixteen (80.0%) and four (20.0%) tumors, respectively. During a mean follow-up of 79.6 ± 39.9 months, three tumors (15.0%) recurred. Fourteen patients (73.7%) achieved excellent outcomes, three (15.7%) remained stable, one (5.3%) deteriorated, and one (5.3%) died. High-grade SMs are rare entities which consist of 5.7% SM. These lesions tend to affect young patients, with atypical meningioma being the most common pathological subtype. In our study, surgery was an effective means of treatment. Close observation is warranted after surgery because of the high recurrence rate. Recurrent patients can still benefit from a second surgery.     

Peritumoral brain edema in intracranial meningiomas evaluated by dynamic perfusion-weighted MR imaging: a preliminary study

Our objective was to semi-quantitatively evaluate the cerebral perfusion in the peritumoral brain edema of meningiomas using dynamic perfusion-weighted MR imaging. Six patients with intracranial meningiomas accompanied by peritumoral brain edema were prospectively examined by perfusion-weighted MR imaging. One patient was examined twice, once before and once 5 months after the surgical resection. The relative regional cerebral blood volume (rrCBV), the relative regional cerebral blood flow (rrCBF), and the relative regional mean transit time (rrMTT) were calculated for peritumoral brain edema and the contralateral white matter. These parameters were compared between peritumoral brain edema and the contralateral white matter. The time–concentration curve of the peritumoral brain edema was less prominent than that of the contralateral white matter, resulting in a significantly lower rrCBV (mean 46%) and rrCBF (mean 45%) in peritumoral brain edema than those of contralateral white matter. The serial perfusion-weighted MR imaging also demonstrated the recovery of these parameters after the removal of meningioma by means of surgical resection. Perfusion-weighted MR imaging can demonstrate significantly decreased rrCBV and rrCBF in peritumoral brain edema compared with those in normal white matter. Electronic Publication
