SUMMARY: The CD20+ variant of angiocentric T-cell lymphoma is an unusual type of T-cell lymphomas that present cystic changes in organs because of ischaemic necroses. The purpose of this study was to describe a case of CD20+angiocentric T-cell lymphoma, discussing its clinical, histopathological and immunohistochemical features, to analyze its proliferation kinetics and to consider its possible relationship to the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) to understand better the pathobiological nature of the disease. METHODS: The clinical, histopathological, immunohistochemical and single-cell DNA cytophotometric features of the case were analyzed. In addition in situ hybridization was performed to detect EBV. RESULTS: The 24 years old woman was admitted to our Institute because of pain in the abdominal region and weight loss. There were enlarged lymph nodes on the neck, and biopsy was done. Histological diagnosis: angiocentric T-cell lymphoma, CD20+ variant. CD3, CD43, CD45RA and CD45R0 antigens were positive in the atypic lymphoid cells of the tumour and in cells infiltrating the vascular wall. DNA index was 0.8589 (hypodiploid). Tumour cells in G1 phase: 47%, S phase: 45.4%, G2 phase: 7.6%. Combined chemotherapy was administered because of clinical stadium IV/B of malignant lymphoma (5 CHOP-Bleo, CEPP, CEP, CMVE treatment). The disease showed gradual progression and the patient died 14 months after the first symptoms had appeared. CONCLUSIONS: In the last 13 years there were 5 cases of angiocentric T-cell lymphoma at our Institute. The CD20+ variant is rare, its clinical symptoms are special, the prognosis is unfavourable. The cause why we demonstrate this case is to call attention to a new treatment for these patients by immunotherapy using monoclonal antibodies against CD20 antigen. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is predominantly a nodal disease, but extranodal involvement can occur during the disease course or as the primary presentation. We report two rare cases of ALCL presenting with a pleural effusion, mimicking primary effusion lymphoma (PEL). CASES: Two patients, a 47-year-old woman and an 81-year-old man, presented with a pleural effusion for investigation. The pleural fluid contained abundant, large, lymphoid cells with marked nuclear atypia. These neoplastic cells strongly expressed CD30 and EMA and showed a T-cell phenotype (CD3+CD45RO+ for case 1 and CD4+ for case 2). Case 1, in addition, showed ALK1 expression. The tumor cells in both cases were negative for human herpes virus type 8 (HHV8) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). ALCL shows overlapping cytologic features with PEL, but the T-cell phenotype, ALK1 expression in case 1, lack of association with HHV8 and EBV, HIV seronegativity and subsequent discovery of nodal disease in case 2 were all in favor of ALCL over PEL. CONCLUSION: In rare cases a pleural effusion is the presenting feature of ALCL, and distinction from PEL depends on correlation with clinical findings, detailed immunophenotyping and study of the status of HHV8 and EBV. 相似文献

Two gammaherpesviruses, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) (Lymphocryptovirus genus) and Kaposi''s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) (Rhadinovirus genus) have been implicated in the etiology of AIDS-associated lymphomas. Homologs of these viruses have been identified in macaques and other non-human primates. In order to assess the association of these viruses with non-human primate disease, archived lymphoma samples were screened for the presence of macaque lymphocryptovirus (LCV) homologs of EBV, and macaque rhadinoviruses belonging to the RV1 lineage of KSHV homologs or the more distant RV2 lineage of Old World primate rhadinoviruses. Viral loads were determined by QPCR and infected cells were identified by immunolabeling for different viral proteins. The lymphomas segregated into three groups. The first group (n = 6) was associated with SIV/SHIV infections, contained high levels of LCV (1–25 genomes/cell) and expressed the B-cell antigens CD20 or BLA.36. A strong EBNA-2 signal was detected in the nuclei of the neoplastic cells in one of the LCV-high lymphomas, indicative of a type III latency stage. None of the lymphomas in this group stained for the LCV viral capsid antigen (VCA) lytic marker. The second group (n = 5) was associated with D-type simian retrovirus-2 (SRV-2) infections, contained high levels of RV2 rhadinovirus (9–790 genomes/cell) and expressed the CD3 T-cell marker. The third group (n = 3) was associated with SIV/SHIV infections, contained high levels of RV2 rhadinovirus (2–260 genomes/cell) and was negative for both CD20 and CD3. In both the CD3-positive and CD3/CD20-negative lymphomas, the neoplastic cells stained strongly for markers of RV2 lytic replication. None of the lymphomas had detectable levels of retroperitoneal fibromatosis herpesvirus (RFHV), the macaque RV1 homolog of KSHV. Our data suggest etiological roles for both lymphocryptoviruses and RV2 rhadinoviruses in the development of simian AIDS-associated lymphomas and indicate that the virus-infected neoplastic lymphoid cells are derived from different lymphocyte lineages and differentiation stages. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: Primary lymphoma of adrenal glands is rare, and non-B-cell lymphoma associated with pyothorax is also very rare. Here we report the first autopsy case of non-B-cell lymphoma in bilateral adrenal glands of a 79-year-old woman with pyothorax who had an aggressive clinical course. Immunohistochemically, tumor cells showed CD3+, CD45RO+, CD5-, CD7-, CD4-, CD8-, CD10-, CD20-, CD30-, CD79a-, CD138-, CD56-, granzyme B-, TIA-1+ and ALK-. In addition, tumor cells were strongly EBER1-positive by in situ hybridization. In genomic DNA of tumor cells, T-cell receptor rearrangements were not detected by southern blotting. We finally diagnosed this case as extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (nasal type).Virtual SlidesThe virtual slide(s) for this article can be found here: http://www.diagnosticpathology.diagnomx.eu/vs/8050621197741854. 相似文献

Cross-sectional studies have shown that the capacity of CD8+ cells from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) SIVmac-infected macaques to suppress the replication of human and simian immunodeficiency viruses in vitro depends on the clinical stage of disease, but little is known about changes in this antiviral activity over time in individual HIV-infected patients or SIV-infected macaques. We assessed changes in the soluble factor-mediated noncytolytic antiviral activity of CD8+ cells over time in eight cynomolgus macaques infected with SIVmac251 to determine the pathophysiological role of this activity. CD8+ cell-associated antiviral activity increased rapidly in the first week after viral inoculation and remained detectable during the early phase of infection. The net increase in antiviral activity of CD8+ cells was correlated with plasma viral load throughout the 15 months of follow-up. CD8+ cells gradually lost their antiviral activity over time and acquired virus replication-enhancing capacity. Levels of antiviral activity correlated with CD4+ T-cell counts after viral set point. Concentrations of beta-chemokines and interleukin-16 in CD8+ cell supernatants were not correlated with this antiviral activity, and alpha-defensins were not detected. The soluble factor-mediated antiviral activity of CD8+ cells was neither cytolytic nor restricted to major histocompatibility complex. This longitudinal study strongly suggests that the increase in noncytolytic antiviral activity from baseline and the maintenance of this increase over time in cynomolgus macaques depend on both viral replication and CD4+ T cells. 相似文献

Effective, vaccine-induced CD8+ T-cell responses should recognize infected cells early enough to prevent production of progeny virions. We have recently shown that Gag-specific CD8+ T cells recognize simian immunodeficiency virus-infected cells at 2 h postinfection, whereas Env-specific CD8+ T cells do not recognize infected cells until much later in infection. However, it remains unknown when other proteins present in the viral particle are presented to CD8+ T cells after infection. To address this issue, we explored CD8+ T-cell recognition of epitopes derived from two other relatively large virion proteins, Pol and Nef. Surprisingly, infected cells efficiently presented CD8+ T-cell epitopes from virion-derived Pol proteins within 2 h of infection. In contrast, Nef-specific CD8+ T cells did not recognize infected cells until 12 h postinfection. Additionally, we show that SIVmac239 Nef downregulated surface major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) molecules beginning at 12 h postinfection, concomitant with presentation of Nef-derived CD8+ T-cell epitopes. Finally, Pol-specific CD8+ T cells eliminated infected cells as early as 6 h postinfection, well before MHC-I downregulation, suggesting a previously underappreciated antiviral role for Pol-specific CD8+ T cells. 相似文献

Lymph node aspirates from 18 peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTLs) were analyzed. Cytologic and immunocytologic studies were performed on Cytospin preparations using the alkaline phosphatase-antialkaline phosphatase method with a panel of monoclonal antibodies (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD19 and CD30). The cytologic diagnosis was confirmed by histologic investigation. Nine lymph node aspirates from patients with Lennert's lymphoma, angioimmunoblastic (AILD)-type PTL and pleomorphic small-cell-type PTL were composed predominantly of small-to-intermediate-sized lymphocytes. An admixture of plasma cells, eosinophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes with an irregular nucleus, granula in the cytoplasm or abundant cytoplasm was also seen. Nine lymph node aspirates from patients with T-immunoblastic lymphoma, pleomorphic large-cell-type PTL and large-cell anaplastic (Ki-1+) lymphoma showed marked cytologic heterogeneity. Immunocytologic investigation of the aspirates using the antibodies CD3, CD4, CD8, CD19 and CD30 was helpful for the differentiation of PTLs from reactive lymphadenopathy and other malignant lymphomas. A strong predominance of CD3+ cells was found in only seven cases. The aspirates expressed a helper/inducer phenotype in 11 cases and a suppressor/cytotoxic phenotype in 4 cases. A T-cell phenotype not corresponding to the normal T-cell phenotype was found in nine cases. In 15 of the 18 cases, the number of CD19+ cells was found to be less than 15%. The large cells of the large-cell anaplastic (Ki-1+) lymphoma expressed the antigens CD30 and CD45 and were negative for CD15. These findings indicate that immunocytologic studies can be used in improving the cytologic diagnosis of PTLs. 相似文献

Gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) is an early target of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) and a site for severe CD4+ T-cell depletion. Although antiretroviral therapy (ART) is effective in suppressing HIV replication and restoring CD4+ T cells in peripheral blood, restoration in GALT is delayed. The role of restored CD4+ T-cell help in GALT during ART and its impact on antiviral CD8+ T-cell responses have not been investigated. Using the SIV model, we investigated gut CD4+ T-cell restoration in infected macaques, initiating ART during either the primary stage (1 week postinfection), prior to acute CD4+ cell loss (PSI), or during the chronic stage at 10 weeks postinfection (CSI). ART led to viral suppression in GALT and peripheral blood mononuclear cells of PSI and CSI animals at comparable levels. CSI animals had incomplete CD4+ T-cell restoration in GALT. In PSI animals, ART did not prevent acute CD4+ T-cell loss by 2 weeks postinfection in GALT but supported rapid and complete CD4+ T-cell restoration thereafter. This correlated with an accumulation of central memory CD4+ T cells and better suppression of inflammation. Restoration of CD4+ T cells in GALT correlated with qualitative changes in SIV gag-specific CD8+ T-cell responses, with a dominance of interleukin-2-producing responses in PSI animals, while both CSI macaques and untreated SIV-infected controls were dominated by gamma interferon responses. Thus, central memory CD4+ T-cell levels and qualitative antiviral CD8+ T-cell responses, independent of viral suppression, were the immune correlates of gut mucosal immune restoration during ART. 相似文献

Tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) have been associated with survival in classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) and other lymphoma types. The maturation and differentiation of tissue macrophages depends upon interactions between colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) and its ligands. There remains, however, a lack of consistent information on CSF1R expression in TAMs. A new monoclonal antibody, FER216, was generated to investigate CSF1R protein distribution in formalin fixed tissue samples from 24 reactive lymphoid tissues and 187 different lymphoma types. We also analysed the distribution of CSF1R+, CD68+ and CD163+ macrophages by double immunostaining, and studied the relationship between CSF1R expression and survival in an independent series of 249 cHL patients. CSF1R+ TAMs were less frequent in B-cell lymphocytic leukaemia and lymphoblastic B-cell lymphoma than in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, peripheral T-cell lymphoma, angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma and cHL. HRS cells in cHL and, with the exception of three cases of anaplastic large cell lymphoma, the neoplastic cells in NHLs, lacked detectable CSF1R protein. A CSF1R+ enriched microenvironment in cHL was associated with shorter survival in an independent series of 249 cHL patients. CSF1R pathway activation was evident in the cHL and inactivation of this pathway could be a potential therapeutic target in cHL cases. 相似文献

Neoplastic lymphocytes with a hairy appearance were detected in the ascitic fluid from a case of retroperitoneal malignant lymphoma. Although the tumor cells resembled those of hairy-cell leukemia (HCL), no leukemic change was observed, and the anatomic location of the neoplastic cells was different from that seen in HCL. The tumor cells were positive for some immunohistochemical markers of HCL (i.e., CD1 9 and SIg) but were negative for others (CD11c, CD25 and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase). Immunocytofluorometric and postmortem histologic studies showed the lesion to be a well-differentiated B-cell lymphocytic lymphoma with plasmocytic differentiation in some cells. 相似文献

In an attempt to determine why high frequencies of circulating virus-specific CD8+ T cells are unable to control human immunodeficiency virus and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) replication, we assessed the functional nature of SIV-specific CD8+ lymphocytes. After vaccination and early after infection, nearly all tetramer-staining CD8+ cells produced gamma interferon in response to their specific stimulus. However, by 4 months postinfection with pathogenic SIVmac239, signs of functional impairment in the CD8+ T-cell compartment were detected which might prevent these T cells from efficiently controlling the infection during the chronic phase. 相似文献

CD8(+) T lymphocytes appear to play a role in controlling human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication, yet routine immunological assays do not measure the antiviral efficacy of these cells. Furthermore, it has been suggested that CD8+ T cells that recognize epitopes derived from proteins expressed early in the viral replication cycle can be highly efficient. We used a functional in vitro assay to assess the abilities of different epitope-specific CD8+ T-cell lines to control simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) replication. We compared the antiviral efficacies of 26 epitope-specific CD8+ T-cell lines directed against seven SIV epitopes in Tat, Nef, Gag, Env, and Vif that were restricted by either Mamu-A*01 or Mamu-A*02. Suppression of SIV replication varied depending on the epitope specificities of the CD8+ T cells and was unrelated to whether the targeted epitope was derived from an early or late viral protein. Tat(28-35)SL8- and Gag(181-189)CM9-specific CD8+ T-cell lines were consistently superior at suppressing viral replication compared to the other five SIV-specific CD8+ T-cell lines. We also investigated the impact of viral escape on antiviral efficacy by determining if Tat(28-35)SL8- and Gag(181-189)CM9-specific CD8+ T-cell lines could suppress the replication of an escaped virus. Viral escape abrogated the abilities of Tat(28-35)SL8- and Gag(181-189)CM9-specific CD8+ T cells to control viral replication. However, gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) enzyme-linked immunospot and IFN-gamma/tumor necrosis factor alpha intracellular-cytokine-staining assays detected cross-reactive immune responses against the Gag escape variant. Understanding antiviral efficacy and epitope variability, therefore, will be important in selecting candidate epitopes for an HIV vaccine. 相似文献

The thymus is responsible for de novo production of CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells and therefore is essential for T-cell renewal. The goal of this study was to assess the impact of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection on the production of T cells by the thymus. Levels of recent thymic emigrants within the peripheral blood were assessed through quantification of macaque T-cell receptor excision circles (TREC). Comparison of SIV-infected macaques (n = 15) to uninfected macaques (n = 23) revealed stable or increased TREC levels at 20 to 34 weeks postinfection. Further assessment of SIV-infected macaques (n = 4) determined that TREC levels decreased between 24 and 48 weeks postinfection. Through the assessment of longitudinal time points in three additional SIVmac239-infected macaques, the SIV infection was divided into two distinct phases. During phase 1 (16 to 30 weeks), TREC levels remained stable or increased within both the CD4 and CD8 T-cell populations. During phase 2 (after 16 to 30 weeks), TREC levels declined in both T-cell populations. As has been described for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients, this decline in TREC levels did at times correlate with an increased level of T-cell proliferation (Ki67(+) cells). However, not all TREC decreases could be attributed to increased T-cell proliferation. Further evidence for thymic dysfunction was observed directly in a SIVmac239-infected macaque that succumbed to simian AIDS at 65 weeks postinfection. The thymus of this macaque contained an increased number of memory/effector CD8(+) T cells and an increased level of apoptotic cells. In summary, reduced levels of TREC can be observed beginning at 16 to 30 weeks post-SIV infection and correlate with changes indicative of dysfunction within the thymic tissue. SIV infection of macaques will be a useful model system to elucidate the mechanisms responsible for the thymic dysfunction observed in HIV-infected patients. 相似文献

Human and simian immunodeficiency virus (HIV and SIV, respectively) infections are characterized by gradual depletion of CD4+ T cells. The underlying mechanisms of CD4+ T-cell depletion and HIV and SIV persistence are not fully determined. The Nef protein is expressed early in infection and is necessary for pathogenesis. Nef can cause T-cell activation and downmodulates cell surface signaling molecules. However, the effect of Nef on the cell cycle has not been well characterized. To determine the role of Nef in the cell cycle, we investigated whether the SIV Nef protein can modulate cell proliferation and apoptosis in CD4+ Jurkat T cells. We developed a CD4+ Jurkat T-cell line that stably expresses SIV Nef under the control of an inducible promoter. Alterations in cell proliferation were determined by flow cytometry using stable intracytoplasmic fluorescent dye 5- and 6-carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester and bromodeoxyuridine incorporation. Apoptotic cell death was measured by annexin V and propidium iodide staining. Our results demonstrated that SIV Nef inhibited Fas-induced apoptosis in these cells and that the mechanism involved upregulation of the Bcl-2 protein. SIV Nef suppressed CD4+ T-cell proliferation by inhibiting the progression of cells into S phase of the cell cycle. Suppression involved an upregulation of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors p21 and p27 and the downregulation of cyclin D1 and cyclin A. In summary, inhibition of apoptosis by Nef can lead to persistence of infected cells and can support viral replication. In addition, a Nef-mediated delay in cell cycle progression may contribute to CD4+ T-cell anergy/depletion seen in HIV and SIV disease. 相似文献

We report the first characterization of a mouse T-lymphoma cell line that surprisingly expresses cytoplasmatic (cy) yCD4. Phenotypically, LBC cells are CD5+, CD8+, CD16+, CD24+, CD25+, CD2-/dim, CD3-/dim, TCRbeta-/dim, TCRgammadelta, CD154 , CD40-, and CD45R. Coexpress cyTCRbeta, cyCD3, cyCD4, and yet lack surface CD4 expression. Transplantation of LBC cells into mice resulted in an aggressive T-lymphoblastic lymphoma that infiltrated lymph nodes, thymus, spleen, liver, ovary, and uterus but not peripheral blood or bone marrow. LBC cells display a modal chromosome number of 39 and a near-diploid karyotype. Based on the characterization data, we demonstrated that the LBC cell line was derived from an early T-cell lymphocyte precursor. We propose that the malignant cell transformation of LBC cells could coincide with the transition stage from late double-negative, DN3 (CD4- CD8 CD44-/low, CD25+) or DN4 (CD4-low, CD8-/low, CD44-, CD25-) to double-positive (DP: CD4+CD8+) stage of T-cell development. LBC cells provide a T-lymphoblastic lymphoma model derived from a malignant early T-lymphocyte that can be potentially useful as a model to study both cellular regulation and differentiation of T-cells. In addition, LBC tumor provides a short latency neoplasm to study cellular regulation and to perform preclinical trials of lymphoma-relatel clisorders. 相似文献

A chimeric HLA-DR4-H2-E (DR4) homozygous transgenic mouse line spontaneously develops diverse hematological malignancies with high frequency (70%). The majority of malignancies were distributed equally between T and B cell neoplasms and included lymphoblastic T cell lymphoma (LTCL), lymphoblastic B cell lymphoma (LBCL), diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the histiocyte/T cell rich variant of DLBCL (DLBCL-HA/T cell rich DLBCL), splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL), follicular B cell lymphoma (FBL) and plasmacytoma (PCT). Most of these neoplasms were highly similar to human diseases. Also, some non-lymphoid malignancies such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and histiocytic sarcoma were found. Interestingly, composite lymphomas, including Hodgkin-like lymphomas, were also detected that had CD30+ Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg (H/RS)-like cells, representing a tumor type not previously described in mice. Analysis of microdissected H/RS-like cells revealed their origin as germinal center B cells bearing somatic hypermutations and, in some instances, crippled mutations, as described for human Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Transgene integration in an oncogene was excluded as an exclusive driving force of tumorigenesis and age-related lymphoma development suggests a multi-step process. Thus, this DR4 line is a useful model to investigate common molecular mechanisms that may contribute to important neoplastic diseases in man. 相似文献

T-cell receptor (TCR) complementarily determining region 3 (CDR3) spetratyping analysis was employed to assess the ability of an AIDS virus to disrupt CD4 + T-cell repertoires during the primary infection. Rhesus and pig-tailed macaques infected with simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)mac 251 and SIVsmmFGb, respectively, were evaluated. Following SIV infection, the macaques exhibited an apparent decline of CD4 + peripheral blood lymphocyte (PBL) counts, which was associated with a change in CDR3 profiles from multiple-length distribution to one- or two-length dominance in the selected TCR Vbeta-expressing CD4 + PBL subpopulations. Molecular analysis of the perturbed cell subpopulations suggested that the CD4 + T cells bearing the dominant CDR3 length were clonally expanded. These results indicate that SIV infection can induce a disruption of macaque CD4 + T-cell repertoires during the primary infection. The finding in this study, therefore, suggests that the virus-induced clonal dominance can contribute to the disruption of CD4 + T-cell repertoires. 相似文献

Cytologic features of NK/T-cell lymphoma 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
OBJECTIVE: To describe the diagnostic cytologic features of NK/T-cell lymphoma. STUDY DESIGN: The cytologic features of 3 cases of natural killer cell (NK)/T-cell lymphoma were studied and correlated with histology. Immunohistochemistry for CD56, T-cell intracellular antigen (TIA-1) and EBV-encoded small nuclear RNAs (EBER) in situ hybridization was reviewed. RESULTS: The lymphomas have mixed-sized cells with eccentric, round to ovoid nuclei; 1 or 2 prominent nucleoli; and abundant, clear to pale, eosinophilic cytoplasm. Mitotic figures, necrotic debris and tingible body macrophages are common accompaniments. In fluid, the lymphoma cells appear more shrunken. A clot section of 1 case was positive for CD56, TIA-1 and EBER. CONCLUSION: Helpful cytologic features for the diagnosis of NK/T-cell lymphoma are described. Immunohistochemistry for CD56, TIA-1 and EBER in situ hybridization are very helpful adjuncts for the diagnosis. 相似文献
