Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
In rare cases of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL), large cells morphologically similar to or indistinguishable from Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells of Hodgkin's disease (HD) can be found in a background of otherwise typical B-CLL. To test these HRS-like cells for a potential clonal relationship to the B-CLL cells, single cells were micromanipulated from immunostained tissue sections, and rearranged immunoglobulin genes were amplified from HRS-like cells and B-CLL cells and sequenced. The same variable (V) gene rearrangements with shared and distinct somatic mutations were found in HRS-like and B-CLL cells from 1 patient, which indicates derivation of these cells from 2 distinct members of a germinal-center B-cell clone. Separate clonal V gene rearrangements were amplified from HRS-like and B-CLL cells from 2 other patients, showing concomitant presence of 2 distinct expanded B-cell clones. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was detected in the HRS-like cells of these 2 latter cases, indicating clonal expansion of an EBV-harboring B cell in the setting of B-CLL. There is evidence that HRS-like cells in B-CLL, like HRS cells in HD, derive from germinal-center B cells. In all cases, somatic mutations have been detected in the rearranged V genes of the HRS-like cells, and in 1 of the EBV-positive HRS-like cell clones, somatic mutations rendered an originally functional V gene rearrangement nonfunctional. We speculate that the HRS-like cells in B-CLL represent potential precursors for HRS cells causing HD. |
