18F-Fluoro-deoxy-glucose positron emission tomography in lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue: histology makes the difference.

BACKGROUND: The usefulness of 2-[fluorine-18]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose Positron emission tomography (18F-FDG-PET) in lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) is still a matter of debate, and conflicting results have been reported. We have evaluated whether the histological feature of plasmacytic differentiation (PD) might explain the heterogeneous behavior of MALT lymphoma regarding 18F-FDG uptake. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 35 patients with a diagnosis of MALT lymphoma referred to our PET unit were studied. Whole-body 18F-FDG-PET scans were carried out on a General Electrics advanced PET scanner 40 min after i.v. injection of 300-380 MBq 18F-FDG. Images were reconstructed iteratively. In areas with focally elevated FDG uptake, standard uptake values (SUVs) were calculated. RESULTS: A total of 19 patients had MALT lymphoma with plasmacytic differentiation (pMALT), while MALT lymphoma without plasmacytic features was diagnosed in 16 patients. Sixteen of 19 patients with PD showed significant 18F-FDG uptake in involved sites (SUV: 3.5-11.7). By contrast, 13 of 16 patients with normal MALT lymphoma showed a false-negative 18F-FDG-PET result. Two of these patients disclosed no tracer uptake in the majority of involved sites apart from one single lesions, while three had a true-positive 18F-FDG-PET scan (SUV: 3.4-6.0). CONCLUSIONS: 18F-FDG-PET visualizes pMALT in a high proportion of patients, whereas FDG-PET results are significantly less reliable in typical MALT (P = 0.001). This finding may partly account for the heterogeneous results of 18F-FDG-PET-studies in MALT lymphoma.

MALT lymphoma associated genetic aberrations occur at different frequencies in primary and secondary intestinal MALT lymphomas.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Limited data are available on intestinal MALT lymphoma owing to its relatively rare occurrence. The frequency of associated genetic changes was therefore analysed in intestinal MALT lymphoma to determine whether primary and secondary examples may be distinguished by their genetic profile. METHODS: Patients diagnosed with MALT lymphoma involving the intestine were evaluated and compared with 71 cases with localised gastric MALT lymphoma. Paraffin embedded samples were evaluated for t(11;18)(q21;q21) by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and by fluorescence in situ hybridisation for t(14;18)(q32;q21), t(1;14)(p22;q32), and trisomies 3 and 18. RESULTS: 30 consecutive patients with MALT lymphoma involving the intestine were identified: 16 had primary intestinal lymphoma and 14 had secondary MALT lymphoma. t(11;18)(q21;q21) was found in one third of the patients, but there was a significant difference between the secondary MALT lymphomas and the primary intestinal and gastric MALT lymphoma groups (57% v 12.5%, p = 0.019, and 57% v 24%, p = 0.022). Two patients with primary intestinal MALT lymphomas were positive for t(1;14)(p22;q32) and none was positive for t(14;18)(q32;q21). Primary intestinal MALT lymphoma had a significantly higher frequency of trisomies 3 or 18 (81% v 36%, p = 0.024; 81% v 14%, p<0.001), in contrast to secondary intestinal MALT lymphomas and localised gastric MALT lymphomas. CONCLUSIONS: The genetic profile of primary intestinal MALT lymphomas appears to be different from that of secondary intestinal or local gastric MALT lymphomas. Because of the high prevalence of trisomy 3 or 18, or both, in primary intestinal lymphoma, these numerical aberrations might be regarded as a genetic hallmark of the disease.

Novel t(5;9)(q33;q22) fuses ITK to SYK in unspecified peripheral T-cell lymphoma.

Among peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL), the heterogeneous category of unspecified PTCL represents the most common subtype. Nevertheless, recurrent chromosomal translocations are unknown in this aggressive type of lymphoma. Here we describe a novel t(5;9)(q33;q22) in unspecified PTCL. Molecular analyses delineated the breakpoints to ITK and SYK resulting in a previously undescribed expression of the Syk tyrosine kinase by Itk. ITK-SYK transcripts were detected in five of 30 (17%) unspecified PTCL, but not in cases of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (n=9) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase-negative anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (n=7). In all five translocation-positive cases, the breakpoints were identical fusing the N-terminal pleckstrin homology domain and proline-rich region of ITK to the tyrosine kinase domain of SYK. Three of the five t(5;9)(q33;q22)+ unspecified PTCL shared a very similar histological pattern with predominant involvement of lymphoid follicles and the same CD3+CD5+CD4+bcl-6+CD10+ immunophenotype. These results demonstrate the presence of a recurrent t(5;9)(q33;q22) in a subset of unspecified PTCL, which may represent a novel distinct subgroup of PTCL.

'Blind' antibiotic treatment targeting Chlamydia is not effective in patients with MALT lymphoma of the ocular adnexa.

BACKGROUND: Recent results have implicated Chlamydia, especially Chlamydia psittaci, in the development of ocular adnexal lymphoma in the large majority of patients. We present our experience with ex-juvantibus antibiotic treatment in patients diagnosed with MALT lymphoma of the ocular adnexa. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis identified a total of 11 patients (six female, five male) with MALT-lymphoma of the ocular adnexa who were given doxycyclin 200 mg p.o. daily over 3 weeks. Patients were tested also for autoimmune conditions, Helicobacter status and hepatitis along with assessment of MALT-lymphoma specific genetic changes. RESULTS: After a median follow-up of 9 months, none of the patients responded to 'blind' antibiotic treatment with doxycyclin. Only one patient with bilateral conjunctival lymphoma related a short lasting subjective improvement, but was referred to alternative therapy due to progression and worsening symptoms after 6 months. CONCLUSIONS: In this uncontrolled series, no effect of 'blind' antibiotic treatment with doxycyclin could be found in our patients with MALT lymphoma of the ocular adnexa. These results are in contrast to other series and suggest a potential geographic difference in the role of Chlamydia in ocular adnexal lymphoma. Thus, antibiotic therapy without prior testing for Chlamydia should be discouraged.

Successful antibiotic treatment of Helicobacter pylori negative gastric mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphomas.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The role of antibiotic treatment in early stage gastric mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma not associated with Helicobacter pylori infection has not been investigated. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Six patients with localised gastric MALT lymphoma underwent antibiotic treatment with clarithromycin, metronidazole, and pantoprazole. Staging, including endosonography plus gastroscopy, computed tomography of the thorax and abdomen, colonoscopy, magnetic resonance imaging of the salivary glands, and bone marrow biopsy were performed to rule out distant spread of the disease. In addition, MALT specific genetic changes, including reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction for t(11;18)(q21;q21), were tested in all patients. H pylori infection was ruled out by histology, urease breath test, serology, and stool antigen testing. RESULTS: All six patients had MALT lymphoma restricted to the stomach, and no evidence of infection with H pylori was found. Only one patient tested positive for t(11;18)(q21;q21) while the remaining five displayed no genetic aberrations. Following antibiotic treatment, endoscopic controls were performed every three months. Five patients responded with lymphoma regression between three and nine months following antibiotic treatment (one partial remission and four complete responses). One patient had stable disease for 12 months and was then referred for chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with early stage gastric MALT lymphoma negative for H pylori might still benefit from antibiotic treatment as the sole treatment modality.

T(3;14)(p14.1;q32) involving IGH and FOXP1 is a novel recurrent chromosomal aberration in MALT lymphoma.

The three chromosomal translocations t(11;18)(q21;q21), t(14;18)(q32;q21), and t(1;14)(p22;q32) are associated with MALT lymphoma. In a case of MALT lymphoma of the thyroid, we observed t(3;14)(p14.1;q32) by cytogenetic analysis. Fluorescence in situ hybridization studies showed that the immunoglobulin heavy chain locus (IGH) was rearranged on chromosome 14. Long-distance inverse polymerase chain reaction identified FOXP1 as the partner gene on chromosome 3. To determine the frequency of the t(3;14)(p14.1;q32), two fluorescence in situ hybridization assays were established to screen 91 MALT lymphomas, all of which were negative for the above-mentioned three translocations, and eight splenic and six nodal marginal zone lymphomas. Overall, nine MALT lymphomas (10%) harbored t(3;14)(p14.1;q32) comprising tumors of the thyroid (three of six), ocular adnexa (four of 20), and skin (two of 20), whereas those of the stomach (n = 20), salivary gland (n = 20), and lung (n = 5) were negative as well as the splenic and nodal marginal zone lymphomas. Most t(3;14)(p14.1;q32) + MALT lymphomas harbored additional genetic abnormalities, such as trisomy 3. Further studies revealed that the three known translocations and t(3;14)(p14.1;q32) are mutually exclusive. Real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction showed upregulation of FOXP1 in cases with t(3;14)(p14.1;q32) or trisomy 3. This study identifies FOXP1 as a new translocation partner of IGH in a site-dependent subset of MALT lymphomas.

Variable frequencies of MALT lymphoma-associated genetic aberrations in MALT lymphomas of different sites.

Although several recurrent genetic aberrations are known to occur in MALT lymphoma, no comprehensive study on the most prevalent MALT lymphoma-associated genetic aberrations is available. We therefore screened 252 primary MALT lymphomas for translocations t(11;18)(q21;q21), t(14;18)(q32;q21), and t(1;14)(p22;q32), and trisomies 3 and 18. The above-listed translocations occurred mutually exclusively and were detected overall in 13.5, 10.8, and 1.6% of the cases; trisomy 3 and/or 18 occurred in 42.1%. The frequency at which the translocations occurred varied markedly with the primary site of disease. The t(11;18)(q21;q21) was mainly detected in pulmonary and gastric tumors, whereas the t(14;18)(q32;q21) was most commonly found in lesions of the ocular adnexa/orbit, skin, and salivary glands. Trisomies 3 and 18 each occurred most frequently in intestinal and salivary gland MALT lymphomas. Our results demonstrate that the three translocations and trisomies 3 and 18 occur at markedly variable frequencies in MALT lymphoma of different sites.

Circulating myeloid colony-forming cells predict survival in myelodysplastic syndromes.

The growth characteristics and the prognostic value of cytokine-stimulated myeloid colony formation from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are largely unknown. In this study we have determined the number of myeloid colony-forming units (mCFUs) in semisolid medium from 112 MDS patients and correlated them with French-American-British (FAB) type, the international prognostic scoring system (IPSS), karyotype, peripheral blood (PB) and bone marrow (BM) blast cells, cytopenias, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and survival data. Concerning the FAB classification, lower median mCFUs were found in patients with refractory anemia (RA) and refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts (RARS) compared to refractory anemia with excess of blast cells (RAEB) and refractory anemia with excess of blasts cells in transformation (RAEB-T). In vitro growth in MDS clearly correlated with the cytogenetic risk groups defined by the IPSS (30.5/10(5) PBMCs with favorable karyotypes, 191 in the intermediate prognostic group, 677 with unfavorable cytogenetics, p=0.015 favorable vs unfavorable). BM blast cells >5% (60.5 vs 255 colonies, p=0.032) as well as LDH levels above the normal limit (64.5 vs 425 colonies, p=0.045) were also associated with higher colony formation. Patients were stratified according to the number of circulating mCFUs into a low growth, intermediate growth and high growth group. Median survival was 343 days in the high growth, 1119 days in the low growth, and 2341 days in the intermediate growth group ( p=0.0002). Multivariate analyses revealed colony growth ( p=0.0056), PB blast cells ( p=0.0069), cytogenetic risk group ( p=0.024), and platelet count ( p=0.018) to predict survival in our patients. After inclusion of the IPSS risk categories, mCFU levels remained a highly predictive parameter for survival ( p=0.0056) and acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) transformation ( p=0.0003).

Amplification of the AML1(CBFA2) gene on ring chromosomes in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia and a constitutional ring chromosome 21.

In the genesis of hematologic neoplasms gene amplification is a mechanism for illegitimate activation of proto-oncogenes. We report a phenotypically normal patient with a constitutional ring chromosome 21 who developed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The leukemic cells revealed size-variable ring chromosomes 21 with amplification of the proto-oncogene AML1, located in the chromosomal band 21q22, within the rings. Hitherto, amplification of the proto-oncogene AML1-also in form of a ring chromosome-has been described recently only in one patient with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). In AML, gene amplification by ring formation has been demonstrated only in another three patients (amplification of the MLL gene in two cases and of the ETV6 gene in one case). Here we present the new evidence that the internal rearrangement of a constitutional ring chromosome 21 resulted in multiplication of a proto-oncogene in bone marrow cells and provided obviously a selective growth advantage. Moreover the amplification of ribosomal DNA was observed in the ring chromosomes of the tumor cells.

Amplification of ribosomal RNA genes in acute myeloid leukemia.

Gene amplification is a relatively rare event in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Double minutes (dmin) and homogeneously staining regions are well established phenomena as cytogenetic correlates of gene amplification. Recently, however, two additional mechanisms leading to gene amplification, i.e., segmental jumping translocations and formation of ring chromosomes, have been described. We report four patients with AML, in whom bone marrow cells exhibited amplifications of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes in the form of ring chromosomes or a hsr. In two patients, the MLL gene, and in one patient the CBFA2 gene were shown to be co-amplified with rRNA genes. In two of the four patients, multiple copies of alpha-satellite sequences of the centromeres 13 and 21, respectively, were also demonstrated. In three of the four patients, the clinical course was very aggressive, leading to death within 2-8 months. In these three patients, complex karyotype abnormalities were found, whereas the karyotype of Patient 4 was characterized only by supernumerary ring 21 chromosomes of different sizes and a trisomy 8 in half of the metaphases. Modes of origin and clinical significance of the amplification of rRNA genes are discussed.

Cytogenetic risk groups in acute myeloblastic leukaemia differ greatly in their semi-solid colony growth.

We have analysed the results of semi-solid bone marrow cultures in 296 patients with de novo acute myeloblastic leukaemia (AML) and correlated them with the leukaemic karyotype. A favourable prognostic karyotype was found in 52 patients (group A, 18.3%), an intermediate karyotype in 163 patients (group B, 57.4%), and unfavourable cytogenetics were observed in 69 patients (group C, 24.3%). Median colony growth according to the three risk groups was 2 (range 0--344) in group A, 14.5 (range 0--5000) in group B and 50.0 (0--3000) in group C (A vs. B, P < 0.001; A vs. C, P < 0.001; B vs. C, P < 0.01). Among the patients treated with chemotherapy (n = 257), median colony growth was 10 (range 0-5000) in those who achieved complete remission (CR) compared with 56.5 (range 0-1000) in patients without remission (NR) (P = 0.002). The median colony growth of all patients [13/10(5) bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs); range 0--5000] significantly discriminated between patients regarding survival (OS 11 vs. 7 months, P = 0.044). However, multiple Cox regression analysis revealed cytogenetic risk groups as the most important predictor for achieving CR, disease-free and overall survival, with colony growth adding no additional prognostic information. In 64 patients, colony growth was also investigated without the addition of exogenous cytokines. Interestingly, none of the patients with a favourable karyotype exhibited autonomous growth, whereas 50% with an intermediate and 73% of patients with an unfavourable karyotype displayed either partial or full autonomous growth in vitro (P = 0.0004). Our data suggest that the growth potential of the leukaemic clone seems to be critically influenced by the molecular changes emerging from chromosomal abnormalities.

Familial cryptic translocation with del 4q34-->qter and dup 12pter-->p13 in sibs with tracheal stenosis: clinical, classical and molecular cytogenetic studies and CGH analyses from archival placental tissues evidencing tertiary trisomy 4 in one abortion specimen.

We report on two retarded half-sibs of different sex and seemingly normal karyotype who had the same syndrome of minor anomalies, heart defect and a distal tracheal stenosis, and who shared a healthy mother. These findings raised suspicions of a cryptic chromosome translocation. A translocation t(4;12)(q34;p13), balanced in the mother and unbalanced in the sibs with loss of terminal 4q and gain of terminal 12p regions, was verified by FISH using whole chromosome painting, subtelomeric and YAC probes. Clinical features could be explained by partial monosomy 4q and partial trisomy 12p. Tracheal stenosis was interpreted as a consequence of the same developmental disturbance leading to esophageal atresia and tracheo-esophageal fistula. It was attributed to the 4q deletion in which esophageal atresia as also respiratory difficulties and airway obstructions had been described. Paraffin-embedded placental tissues were available from three of the five abortions of the mother allowing DNA extraction and comparative genome hybridization (CGH). Two of the abortion specimens had the same der(4)t(4;12)(q34;p13) unbalanced translocation as identified in the sibs. In the third abortion specimen, suspicious of triploidy because of partial hydatidiform mole, CGH uncovered a tertiary trisomy 4 resulting from a 3:1 segregation of the translocation chromosomes and their homologs during maternal meiosis I. Differences in CGH results using DNA generated directly or after DOP-PCR were explained by DNA fragmentation in paraffin-embedded tissues and unequal amplification. Am. J. Med. Genet. 94:271-280, 2000.

Low curative potential of bone marrow transplantation for highly aggressive acute myelogenous leukemia with inversioin inv (3)(q21q26) or homologous translocation t(3;3) (q21;q26).

Structural rearrangements of the long arm of chromosome 3 involving bands 3q21 and 3q26 and leading either to a paracentric inversion inv (3)(q21q26) or a translocation between both homologous chromosomes--t(3;3)(q21q26)-- have been reported in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndromes, myeloproliferative disorders, and chronic myelogenous leukemia in blast crisis. We describe three patients with de novo AML with these structural abnormalities who received multiple courses of conventional chemotherapy followed by unrelated donor (n=2) and autologous (n = 1) bone marrow transplantation (BMT). All three patients had early relapse: patients 1 and 2 had relapse 69 days and 306 days after BMT, respectively, and patient 3 immediately after autologous BMT. Despite further chemotherapy, they died without achieving another remission. These findings, together with other recorded similar cases, show that AML with structural abnormalities of the long arm of chromosome 3 as described has an extremely poor prognosis even with the most potent anti-leukemic treatment modalities.

Reciprocal translocation (3;5)(q26;q22) and possible BCHE gene involvement in an unusual myelogenous disorder with both myeloproliferative and dysplastic features.

We report on a 77-year-old male patient who presented with an unusual myelogenous disorder exhibiting both myeloproliferative and dysplastic features. The patient suffered from leukocytosis, eosinophilia, basophilia, transfusion dependent anemia, and rapidly progressing thrombocytopenia. Classical chromosome analysis and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) revealed a reciprocal t(3;5)(q26;q22). Using yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) probes, the breakpoint on chromosome 3 was localized to the butyrylcholinesterase (BCHE) gene (3q26.1-q26.2). This gene has recently been implicated in the regulation of myeloid cells. Whether the BCHE gene was also involved in the deregulation of myelopoiesis, causing the unusual clinical picture in this case, remains unknown.

Amplification of the MLL gene on double minutes, a homogeneously staining region, and ring chromosomes in five patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome.

Gene amplification is one of the mechanisms for activating proto-oncogenes resulting in an enhanced expression of the corresponding gene product. By fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), amplification of the proto-oncogene MLL has been described only in seven patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We report five new patients (four had de novo AML, one had a de novo myelodysplastic syndrome) displaying different mechanisms of MLL amplification, suspected by G-banding and confirmed by FISH analysis. In two patients, MLL was amplified on double-minute chromosomes (dmins). In both cases, an interstitial deletion in 11q23 including the MLL gene was associated with the occurrence of the dmins containing MLL. As a rarely described mechanism, MLL amplification in the form of size-variable ring chromosomes was observed in two patients. Remodeling of the ring chromosomes leads to multiple copies of MLL and obviously provided a selective growth advantage. In one of the two cases with ring chromosomes, the centromeric alpha-satellite DNA of the ring chromosome was not detectable. Our fifth patient showed the unique finding of MLL amplification within a uniformly (homogeneously?) stained region in interaction with amplified ribosomal DNA sequences. Also, one of the patients with ring chromosomes exhibited the amplification of ribosomal DNA on the ring chromosomes. The transcriptionally active genes for ribosomal RNA could probably enhance the expression of MLL. In one of our five patients, we found the new combination of concomitant amplification of the proto-oncogenes MLL and MYC.

Somatic mosaicism of a greater than 1.7-Mb deletion of genomic DNA involving the entire NF1 gene as verified by FISH: further evidence for a contiguous gene syndrome in 17q11.2.

We report on a third case with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) due to mosaicism for a gross deletion in 17q11.2 covering the entire NF1 gene. The deletion was suspected in Giemsa banded chromosomes and was confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization using the cosmids CO919 from the 5' region, GO2121 from the central, H10410 from the 3' region of the NF1 gene, and the 1.7-Mb YAC 947G11 spanning the entire 350-kb genomic DNA of the NF1 gene. The deletion was present in 33% of peripheral blood lymphocytes and 58% of fibroblasts. The clinical manifestations in this 6-year-old male patient were especially severe and extended beyond the typical features of NF1. The patient also displayed facial anomalies, severe and early-onset psychomotor retardation, seizures, spasticity, and microcephaly. These features differ from other large-deletion NF1 patients, even nonmosaic cases. The complex phenotype could be explained by the involvement of coding sequences flanking the NF1 gene, thus supporting the existence of a contiguous gene syndrome in 17q11.2.

Myeloid- and lymphoid-specific breakpoint cluster regions in chromosome band 13q14 in acute leukemia.

Abnormalities of chromosome band 13q14 occur in hematologic malignancies of all lineages and at all stages of differentiation. Unlike other chromosomal translocations, which are usually specific for a given lineage, the chromosomal translocation t(12;13)(p12;q14) has been observed in both B-cell and T-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-, TCP-ALL), in differentiated and undifferentiated acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML), and in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) at progression to blast crisis. The nature of these translocations and their pathologic consequences remain unknown. To begin to define the gene(s) involved on chromosome 13, we have performed fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using a panel of YACs from the region, on a series of 10 cases of acute leukemia with t(12;13)(p12;q14) and 1 case each with "variant" translocations including t(12;13)(q21;q14), t(10;13)(q24;q14) and t(9;13)(p21;q14). In 8/13 cases/cell lines, the 13q14 break fell within a single 1.4 Mb CEPH MegaYAC. This YAC fell immediately telomeric of the forkhead (FKHR) gene, which is disrupted in the t(2;13)(q35;q14) seen in pediatric alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Seven of the 8 cases with breaks in this YAC were AML. In 4/13 cases, the 13q14 break fell within a 1.7-Mb YAC located about 3 Mb telomeric of the retinoblastoma (RB1) gene: all 4 cases were ALL. One case of myelodysplastic syndrome exhibited a break within 13q12, adjacent to the BRCA2 gene. These data indicate the presence of myeloid- and lymphoid-specific breakpoint cluster regions within chromosome band 13q14 in acute leukemia.
