Abstract
Background: B-Cell Lymphoproliferative Disorders (B-LPDs) are a group of heterogenous disorders characterised by the accumulation of B-cells in peripheral blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes and spleen. They have a variable disease course and outcome and many share similar features making differential diagnosis challenging. Therefore, accurate diagnosis is fundamental in particular for determining treatment options. Immunophenotyping by flow cytometry plays a crucial role in the diagnosis of B-LPDs. However, overlapping immunophenotyping patterns exist and the use of novel monoclonal antibodies has become increasingly important in immunophenotyping analysis. More recently differential expression of CD200 has been reported in various B-LPDs and that CD200 may improve the differentiation between chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). In this study CD200 expression is evaluated in different B-LPDs. Methods: A total of 100 samples were collected and analysed by immunophenotyping flow cytometry over a period of 1 year (2017-2018), by a panel of monoclonal antibodies including CD200. The percentage of CD200 and its expression intensity was evaluated and compared between different groups of B-LPDs. Results: All of the 50 cases of CLL expressed CD200 with moderate to bright intensity, 6 MCL cases lacked the expression of CD200. Furthermore, all 5 cases of hairy cell leukaemia (HCL) expressed CD200. Out of all B-LPDs evaluated, CD200 expression in HCL cases was noted to be the brightest. The other 39 cases were not found to be B-LPDs. Conclusion: CD200 has an important role in differentiating CLL from MCL, HCL has a consistent bright expression of CD200. By adding CD200 to the combinations of markers in routine testing panel, Immunophenotyping by flow cytometry can be an effective tool in the diagnosis of B-LPDs especially in cases with atypical immunophenotyping pattern. Our result support that CD200 can be added to routine testing panel as it is useful in differentiating them.

Abstract
A diagnosis of typical chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) requires the presence of ≥5000 clonal B-lymphocytes/μL, the coexistence of CD19, CD20, CD5, and CD23, the restriction of light chain immunoglobulin, and the lack of expression of antigens CD22 and CD79b. Atypical CLL (aCLL) can be distinguished from typical CLL morphologically and immunophenotypically. Morphologically atypical CLL cells have been defined mainly as large, atypical forms, prolymphocytes, or cleaved cells. However, current aCLL diagnostics rely more on immunophenotypic characteristics rather than atypical morphology. Immunophenotypically, atypical CLL differs from classic CLL in the lack of expression of one or fewer surface antigens, most commonly CD5 and CD23, and the patient does not meet the criteria for a diagnosis of any other B-cell lymphoid malignancy. Morphologically atypical CLL has more aggressive clinical behavior and worse prognosis than classic CLL. Patients with aCLL are more likely to display markers associated with poor prognosis, including trisomy 12, unmutated IGVH, and CD38 expression, compared with classic CLL. However, no standard or commonly accepted criteria exist for differentiating aCLL from classic CLL and the clinical significance of aCLL is still under debate. This review summarizes the current state of knowledge on the morphological, immunophenotypic, and genetic abnormalities of aCLL.

Bailly C, Thuru X. Targeting of Tetraspanin CD81 with Monoclonal Antibodies and Small Molecules to Combat Cancers and Viral Diseases. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15072186. [PMID: 37046846 PMCID: PMC10093296 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15072186] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2023] [Revised: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 04/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Tetraspanin CD81 plays major roles in cell-cell interactions and the regulation of cellular trafficking. This cholesterol-embarking transmembrane protein is a co-receptor for several viruses, including HCV, HIV-1 and Chikungunya virus, which exploits the large extracellular loop EC2 for cell entry. CD81 is also an anticancer target implicated in cancer cell proliferation and mobility, and in tumor metastasis. CD81 signaling contributes to the development of solid tumors (notably colorectal, liver and gastric cancers) and has been implicated in the aggressivity of B-cell lymphomas. A variety of protein partners can interact with CD81, either to regulate attachment and uptake of viruses (HCV E2, claudin-1, IFIM1) or to contribute to tumor growth and dissemination (CD19, CD44, EWI-2). CD81-protein interactions can be modulated with molecules targeting the extracellular domain of CD81, investigated as antiviral and/or anticancer agents. Several monoclonal antibodies anti-CD81 have been developed, notably mAb 5A6 active against invasion and metastasis of triple-negative breast cancer cells. CD81-EC2 can also be targeted with natural products (trachelogenin and harzianoic acids A-B) and synthetic compounds (such as benzothiazole-quinoline derivatives). They are weak CD81 binders but offer templates for the design of new compounds targeting the open EC2 loop. There is no anti-CD81 compound in clinical development at present, but this structurally well-characterized tetraspanin warrants more substantial considerations as a drug target.
