Virchows Arch 2023:10.1007/s00428-023-03508-7. [PMID: 36754897 DOI: 10.1007/s00428-023-03508-7] [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: 01/10/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2023] [Accepted: 01/31/2023] [Indexed: 02/10/2023]
Abstract
Diagnosis of histiocytosis can be difficult and one of the biggest challenges is to distinguish between reactive and neoplastic histiocytes on histology alone. Recently, OCT2 nuclear expression was reported in Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD). Our purpose was to expand the testing of OCT2 on a broader variety of sporadic or H syndrome-related histiocytoses. Cases of histiocytoses were retrieved from the files of Ambroise Paré Pathology Department. All slides and molecular analyses were reviewed, and staining was completed with immunohistochemistry for OCT2. A total of 156 samples from different localizations were tested. Among sporadic cases, 52 patients had RDD, and 10 patients had mixed histiocytosis combining RDD with Erdheim Chester disease (ECD, n = 8), Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH, n = 2) or juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG, n = 1). All these patients were positive for OCT2 in RDD characteristic histiocytes. Twenty-three patients had ECD and all but two (91% - 21/23) were negative for OCT2. By contrast, OCT2 was positive in 11/27 (41%) LCH and 6/16 (38%) JXG. Among the 10 samples of H syndrome-associated histiocytosis, 3 had typical RDD histology, 6 had unclassified histiocytosis, and one had mixed RDD-LCH; all were positive for OCT2. On 16 samples of granulomatous lymphadenitis, OCT2 was negative in epithelioid histiocytes. Our study shows that OCT2 has a sensitivity of 100% for RDD cases and mixed histiocytoses with an RDD component. It is negative in 92% of ECD but expressed in at least 38% of LCH, JXG, and C group histiocytoses. Finally, OCT2 is positive in all H syndrome-related histiocytoses, independent of their histology.

Immunohistochemical expression of transcription factors PAX5, OCT2, BCL6 and transcription regulator P53 in Non-Hodgkin lymphomas: A diagnostic cross-sectional study. Ann Med Surg (Lond) 2022; 78:103786. [PMID: 35600178 PMCID: PMC9119824 DOI: 10.1016/j.amsu.2022.103786] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2022] [Revised: 05/08/2022] [Accepted: 05/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Non-Hodgkin lymphoma represents a heterogeneous group of tumors that constitute the seventh most common malignancy. Immunohistochemistry plays a major role in the detection of specific cell receptors. Transcription factors are a heterogeneous group of genes that play a critical role in the commitment, differentiation, and proliferation of specific cell types. Methods Paraffin-embedded tissue sections of non-Hodgkin lymphoma cases were selected, classified, and evaluated before staining with immunohistochemical markers (PAX5, OCT2, BCL6, and P53). Expression of the aforementioned markers was compared with histological subtypes and grades of lymphoma cases. Means of expression were also compared among histological subtypes. Results A total of 55 cases of NHL including 26 cases of low-grade lymphomas and 29 cases of high-grade lymphomas were included in the study. DLBCL and FL were the most common subtypes of high-grade and low-grade lymphomas respectively. Both PAX5 and OCT2 were positive in 44 cases of NHL (80%) including all cases of B-cell lymphomas. BCL6 and P53 demonstrated positive expression in 29.1% and 67.3% respectively. Interestingly, we found a significant association between the histological subtypes and the aforementioned markers (P-value<0.05). Discussion Expression of PAX5, OCT2, BCL, and P53 played a major role in the diagnosis and grading of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in our study. Both PAX5 and OCT2 provided more accuracy and specificity in the diagnosis of B-cell neoplasms compared to the classical B-cell markers. BCL6 expression reflected its role in germinal center formation in normal and malignant lymphoid tissues, and expression of P53 mirrored the accumulation of gene mutations in more aggressive lymphoma subtypes. Conclusion In this manuscript, we aimed to present a unique study that highlights the immunohistochemical expression of all the aforementioned factors among various histological subtypes of non-Hodgkin lymphomas with disparities in histological aggressiveness, highlighting a promising diagnostic and prognostic panel for non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Transcription factors are essential for the differentiation of B-cells. PAX5 and OCT2 provide more accuracy in the diagnosis of lymphomas. BCL6 expression reflects its role in germinal center formation. P53 expression is higher in aggressive subtypes.

Abstract
CONTEXT.— Plasmablastic morphology can be seen in several uncommon lymphoproliferative neoplasms. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish these neoplasms from each other. OBJECTIVE.— To review the current understanding of major lymphoproliferative neoplasms with plasmablastic morphology; summarize the clinical, morphologic, immunophenotypic, cytogenetic, and molecular characteristics of each disease entity; and highlight a practical approach for differential diagnosis. DATA SOURCES.— Peer-reviewed medical literature and the authors' personal experience. CONCLUSIONS.— Plasmablastic lymphoma; plasmablastic myeloma; primary effusion lymphoma; human herpesvirus 8-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified; and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive large B-cell lymphoma are major lymphoproliferative neoplasms with plasmablastic morphology. These neoplasms share many common morphologic and immunophenotypic characteristics. Definitive diagnosis requires a thorough understanding of disease phenotype and diagnostic criteria of each category. Recognition of expression pattern of Epstein-Barr virus-encoded small RNA, human herpesvirus 8, and ALK in these neoplasms is critical for diagnosis in cases with typical presentation. Additional ancillary studies and clinical findings may help in difficult cases.

Plasmablastic Lymphoma, a Rare Entity in Bone Marrow with Unusual Immunophenotype and Challenging Differential Diagnosis. Case Rep Hematol 2019; 2019:1586328. [PMID: 31565447 PMCID: PMC6745100 DOI: 10.1155/2019/1586328] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2018] [Revised: 07/08/2019] [Accepted: 08/14/2019] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is an aggressive malignancy that usually occurs in the setting of immunosuppression. The immunohistochemical profile of PBL is that of terminally differentiated B lymphocytes. CD138, CD38, and MUM1 are usually immunopositive. However, pan B-cell markers such as CD20 and PAX-5 are usually negative. MYC rearrangement is the most commonly encountered genetic alteration, with immunoglobulin (IG), especially immunoglobulin heavy (IGH) chain, being the most frequent partner. We report a case of PBL in a 48-year-old human immunodeficiency virus- (HIV-) positive male who was admitted to the hospital with signs and symptoms suspicious for tumor lysis syndrome. Bone marrow examination revealed hypercellular marrow with trilineage hypoplasia and sheets of intermediate to large neoplastic cells with basophilic vacuolated cytoplasm comprising the majority of cellular elements of the bone marrow. The neoplastic cells were negative for conventional B-cell, T-cell, plasma cell, and myeloid markers, while flow cytometric analysis revealed an abnormal CD45-dim population that was partially weakly positive for CD71 and CD79b. The diagnosis was initially thought to be a high-grade primitive hematopoietic neoplasm, possibly an acute undifferentiated leukemia. BOB-1, however, was immunopositive in the neoplastic cells, confirming its B-cell origin. MYC was positive by immunohistochemistry and break-apart FISH, as were CD45, MUM-1, and EMA immunostains. There was immunoglobulin kappa (IGK) light chain gene rearrangement by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Additionally, Epstein–Barr virus- (EBV–) encoded small RNAs (EBER) were positive by in situ hybridization (ISH). The tumor proliferation index by Ki-67 immunostaining approached 95%. Although the tumor cells were negative for CD38 and CD138, the diagnosis of PBL was still rendered. We recommend using a broad spectrum of B-cell markers, including BOB-1 and OCT-2, in such challenging cases of B-cell lymphomas with no expression of conventional B-cell markers. We also emphasize that the negative CD38 and CD138 should not exclude PBL from the differential diagnosis.

Abstract
Disease causes large economic losses to the pig industry worldwidely, immunity plays an important role in the process of resistance to disease. In the present study, to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying different levels of disease resistance, we obtained the miRNA and mRNA expression profiles from the spleens of three groups of sows, including 180-day-old Queshan Black (Q-F), 3-day-old Yorkshire (Y-N) and 180-day-old Yorkshire (Y-F) pigs. The results showed that 85 miRNAs and 5093 genes were differentially expressed in Y-F vs Y-N, and 20 miRNAs and 1283 genes were differentially expressed in Q-F vs Y-F. Gene ontology analysis of these differentially expressed genes revealed their critical roles in response to immune response-related signaling pathways. To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying immune diversity based on differentially expressed miRNAs and genes, the regulatory network between the node miRNAs and genes were established using Cytoscape. The results showed that the identified candidate miRNAs and genes were associated with immune response, and also indicated their potential roles in disease resistance variance between different pig breeds and stages. From the above, this research detected the key factors that were involved in disease resistance, and provide useful information for disease resistance breeding.

Abstract
Rare B-cell neoplasms with plasmablastic differentiation may aberrantly express CD3 by immunohistochemical staining, which places a great challenge for diagnosis. We here studied 17 cases of CD3+ plasmablastic B-cell neoplasms, including 12 plasmablastic lymphomas and 5 plasmablastic plasma cell myelomas. All 17 cases occurred in the extranodal sites with a male predominance (13/17). Four cases were initially misinterpreted by outside institutions, among which three were diagnosed as 'peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified' and one was classified as 'poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma'. The plasmablastic cells were present in all 17 cases diffusely or in a subset of tumor cells. CD3 expression was mostly diffuse (12/17) and moderate to strong (11/16) with a cytoplasmic staining pattern (14/16). Other T-cell markers were nearly absent, including CD2 (0/10), CD4 (1/13), CD5 (0/14), CD7 (0/11), and CD8 (0/13). CD138 was positive in all 17 cases and CD79a was variably positive in 8 of 14 cases. Only one case had immunoreactivity to CD20 (1/17) and PAX5 (1/12). CD56 expression and EBV infection were detected in 8/15 and 6/17, respectively. No HHV8 infection was noted in all 11 cases tested. Most cases (11/13) revealed either kappa or lambda light chain restriction. Of the nine cases studied, six had clonal IGH rearrangements but no clonal TRG rearrangements. Our study further emphasizes that the accurate classification of CD3+ plasmablastic neoplasms requires thorough morphologic examination, incorporation of more B-cell and T-cell markers in addition to CD3 and CD20, frequent addition of CD138 staining, and utilization of necessary molecular and genetic studies.
