Abstract
ABSTRACT Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an uncommon mature B-cell lymphoma that presents a clinical spectrum ranging from indolent to aggressive disease, with challenges in disease management and prognostication. MCL is characterized by significant genomic instability, affecting various cellular processes, including cell cycle regulation, cell survival, DNA damage response and telomere maintenance, NOTCH and NF-κB/ B-cell receptor pathways, and chromatin modification. Recent molecular and next-generation sequencing studies unveiled a broad genetic diversity among the 2 molecular subsets, conventional MCL (cMCL) and leukemic nonnodal MCL (nnMCL), which may partially explain their clinical heterogeneity. Some asymptomatic and genetically stable nnMCL not requiring treatment at diagnosis may eventually progress clinically. Overall, the high proliferation of tumor cells, blastoid morphology, TP53 and/or CDKN2A/B inactivation, and high genetic complexity influence treatment outcome in cases treated with standard regimens. Emerging targeted and immunotherapeutic strategies are promising for refractory or relapsed cases and a few genetic and nongenetic determinants of refractoriness have been reported. This review summarizes the recent advances in MCL biology, focusing on molecular insights, prognostic markers, and novel therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Quadruple-hit lymphomas are extremely rare non-Hodgkin lymphomas with a reported dismal prognosis in the few reported cases. A "quadruple hit" has been defined by the presence of concurrent MYC, BCL2, BCL6, and CCND1 chromosomal rearrangements. We report a new case of a quadruple hit lymphoma in a 73-year-old Hispanic man who presented with an enlarging left-sided neck mass. Computed tomography showed a 1.9-cm mass in left the tonsil with bulky cervical lymphadenopathy. The presence of all four chromosomal rearrangements can reportedly occur with disease progression in both diffuse large B-cell lymphomas and mantle cell lymphomas. Further characterization of the tumor by next-generation sequencing may be of benefit to delineate between these two possibilities. Immunohistochemistry (IHC), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and next-generation sequencing were used to confirm and classify the diagnosis. Histologic sections of the cervical lymph node demonstrated an atypical lymphoid infiltrate with large and pleomorphic cells, which were positive for CD20, CD10, BCL1 (Cyclin D1), BCL2, BCL6, and cMYC and negative for CD5 and SOX11 on immunohistochemistry with a Ki-67 proliferative index of 70%. FISH demonstrated MYC, BCL2, BCL6, and CCND1 rearrangements and the diagnosis of high-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC, BCL2, BCL6, and CCND1 was rendered. Our patient was treated with dose adjusted etoposide, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, prednisone, and rituximab chemotherapy and has been in remission for 20 months.

Abstract
Steroids are potential anti-leukemia agents, and Epigynum auritum is a Yunnan folk medicine with high levels of androsterone, pregnane, and steroid derivatives. However, the underlying therapeutic mechanism of androsta-4,6,8,14-tetraene-3,11,16-trione (ATT), an androsterone isolated from Epigynum auritum, is not yet clear. This study aimed to explore the anti-leukemia mechanism of ATT using molecular biology, network pharmacology, and molecular docking technology. The cell viability results showed that ATT had an anti-proliferation effect in acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells (CEM/C1, MOLT-4, Jurkat, BALL-1, Nalm-6, and RS4;11). Further studies showed that ATT reduced the mitochondrial membrane potential in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines (BALL-1, Nalm-6, and RS4;11) and induced cell cycle arrest in MOLT-4 and BALL-1. ATT induced BALL-1 cell apoptosis by activating Caspase 3/7 activity and causing DNA fragmentation. Network pharmacology results suggested that ATT exerts its anti-leukemia activity via the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. In addition, molecular docking analysis showed that ATT had high scores in docking with PTGS2, NR3C1, and AR. Western blotting results showed that ATT reduced the relative protein level of P-PI3K and P-Akt, thereby increasing the relative level of pro-apoptosis protein Bax and reducing the relative level of anti-apoptosis protein Bcl-2, the apoptosis downstream protein pro-caspase3, and cell proliferation-related proteins (P-GSK3B and CyclinD1). In conclusion, these results demonstrated that ATT could be a potential candidate drug with apoptosis-induction and cell cycle arrest effects for further investigation in acute lymphoblastic leukemia therapy.

Identification of CD5/SOX11 double-negative pleomorphic mantle cell lymphoma. Virchows Arch 2024:10.1007/s00428-024-03813-9. [PMID: 38733379 DOI: 10.1007/s00428-024-03813-9] [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: 12/10/2023] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
Cyclin D1 protein-positive diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) has an immunophenotype of CD5(-) cyclin D1(+) SOX11(-), and most cases lack a CCND1 rearrangement and have a gene expression profile of DLBCL. Rarely, cyclin D1 protein-positive DLBCL harbors a CCND1 rearrangement, and some genetic copy number features typical of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) have been detected. Since gene expression studies have not been performed, whether such CCND1-rearranged cases represent cyclin D1 protein-positive DLBCL or CD5/SOX11 double-negative pleomorphic MCL remains unclear. To date, no cases of CD5/SOX11 double-negative MCL have been reported. In this study, we collected eight cases initially diagnosed as cyclin D1 protein-positive DLBCL, including four with a CCND1 rearrangement and four without. Immunohistochemically, all four CCND1-rearranged cases had >50% of tumor cells positive for cyclin D1 protein, whereas only one (25%) non-rearranged case had >50% positive tumor cells. Analysis of genome-wide copy number, mutational, and gene expression profiles revealed that CCND1-rearranged cases were similar to MCL, whereas CCND1-non-rearranged cases resembled DLBCL. Despite the SOX11 negativity by immunohistochemistry, CCND1-rearranged cases had a notable trend (P = 0.064) of higher SOX11 mRNA levels compared to non-rearranged cases. Here, we show for the first time that CCND1 rearrangement could be useful for identifying CD5/SOX11 double-negative pleomorphic MCL in cases diagnosed as cyclin D1 protein-positive DLBCL. Cases with >50% cyclin D1 protein-positive tumor cells immunohistochemically and higher SOX11 mRNA levels are more likely to have a CCND1 rearrangement, and fluorescence in situ hybridization can be used to detect the rearrangement.

Cytogenetics in the management of mature B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas: Guidelines from the Groupe Francophone de Cytogénétique Hematologique (GFCH). Curr Res Transl Med 2023; 71:103425.

Abstract
Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) consist of a wide range of clinically, phenotypically and genetically distinct neoplasms. The accurate diagnosis of mature B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma relies on a multidisciplinary approach that integrates morphological, phenotypical and genetic characteristics together with clinical features. Cytogenetic analyses remain an essential part of the diagnostic workup for mature B-cell lymphomas. Karyotyping is particularly useful to identify hallmark translocations, typical cytogenetic signatures as well as complex karyotypes, all bringing valuable diagnostic and/or prognostic information. Besides the well-known recurrent chromosomal abnormalities such as, for example, t(14;18)(q32;q21)/IGH::BCL2 in follicular lymphoma, recent evidences support a prognostic significance of complex karyotype in mantle cell lymphoma and Waldenström macroglobulinemia. Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization is also a key analysis playing a central role in disease identification, especially in genetically-defined entities, but also in predicting transformation risk or prognostication. This can be exemplified by the pivotal role of MYC, BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements in the diagnostic of aggressive or large B-cell lymphomas. This work relies on the World Health Organization and the International Consensus Classification of hematolymphoid tumors together with the recent cytogenetic advances. Here, we review the various chromosomal abnormalities that delineate well-established mature B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma entities as well as newly recognized genetic subtypes and provide cytogenetic guidelines for the diagnostic management of mature B-cell lymphomas.

Abstract
Emerging entities and molecular subgroups in large B-cell lymphomas (LBCLs) were discussed during the 2022 European Association for Haematopathology/Society for Hematopathology workshop in Florence, Italy. This session focused on newly recognized diseases and their diagnostic challenges. High-grade/large B-cell lymphoma with 11q aberration (HG/LBCL-11q) is defined by chromosome 11q-gains and telomeric loss. FISH analysis is recommended for the diagnosis. HG/LBCL-11q can occur in the setting of immunodeficiency, including ataxia-telangiectasia, and predominates in children. The morphological spectrum of these cases is broader than previously thought with often Burkitt-like morphology and coarse apoptotic bodies. It has a Burkitt-like immunophenotype (CD10+, BCL6+, BCL2-) but MYC expression is weak or negative, lacks MYC rearrangement, and is in contrast to Burkitt lymphoma 50% of the cases express LMO2. LBCL with IRF4 rearrangement (LBCL-IRF4) occurs mainly in the pediatric population but also in adults. LBCL-IRF4 has an excellent prognosis, with distinguishing molecular findings. IRF4 rearrangements, although characteristic of this entity, are not specific and can be found in association with other chromosomal translocations in other large B-cell lymphomas. Other molecular subgroups discussed included primary bone diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PB-DLBCL), which has distinctive clinical presentation and molecular findings, and B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) with IGH::MYC translocation recently segregated from Burkitt lymphoma with TdT expression. This latter disorder has molecular features of precursor B-cells, often tetrasomy 1q and recurrent NRAS and KRAS mutations. In this report, novel findings, recommendations for diagnosis, open questions, and diagnostic challenges raised by the cases submitted to the workshop will be discussed.

Abstract
This is a case of acute onset unilateral Bell's Palsy during COVID-19 illness, coinciding with development of progressive leg pain, weakness, and sensation change. The patient was ultimately found to have a large B-cell lymphoma mass invading the sciatic nerve, lumbosacral plexus and the spinal canal with compression of cauda equina consistent with neurolymphomatosis. Although COVID-19 infection has been associated with Bell's palsy, Bell's palsy has also been reported with lymphoid malignancy. We review current literature on the association of Bell's palsy with COVID-19 infection and lymphoid malignancy, as well as review the diagnostic challenges of neurolymphomatosis. Providers should be aware of the possible association of Bell's palsy as harbinger of lymphoid malignancy.

Abstract
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive and heterogenous group of diseases and the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. In the past decade, there has been an explosion in molecular profiling that has helped to identify subgroups and shared oncogenic driving mechanisms. Since the 2017 World Health Organization (WHO) classification, additional studies investigating these genomic abnormalities and phenotypic findings have been reported. Here we review these findings in DLBCL and address the proposed changes by the 2022 International Consensus Classification.

Abstract
The International Clinical Advisory Committee reviewed advances in our understanding of the clinicopathologic and biologic features of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma, B-cell prolymphocytic leukaemia, and mantle cell lymphoma since the revised 4th edition of the WHO Classification of Tumours of the Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues. Discussions amongst pathologists, clinicians, and molecular geneticists around these diseases focussed on incorporating new knowledge into the next classification system. In this manuscript, we review these disease entities and incorporate results of these deliberations, including advances in our understanding of early lesions and transformation.

Abstract
Since the publication of the Revised European-American Classification of Lymphoid Neoplasms in 1994, subsequent updates of the classification of lymphoid neoplasms have been generated through iterative international efforts to achieve broad consensus among hematopathologists, geneticists, molecular scientists, and clinicians. Significant progress has recently been made in the characterization of malignancies of the immune system, with many new insights provided by genomic studies. They have led to this proposal. We have followed the same process that was successfully used for the third and fourth editions of the World Health Organization Classification of Hematologic Neoplasms. The definition, recommended studies, and criteria for the diagnosis of many entities have been extensively refined. Some categories considered provisional have now been upgraded to definite entities. Terminology for some diseases has been revised to adapt nomenclature to the current knowledge of their biology, but these modifications have been restricted to well-justified situations. Major findings from recent genomic studies have impacted the conceptual framework and diagnostic criteria for many disease entities. These changes will have an impact on optimal clinical management. The conclusions of this work are summarized in this report as the proposed International Consensus Classification of mature lymphoid, histiocytic, and dendritic cell tumors.
