The eradication of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) with antibiotics induces complete remission in 75% of patients with gastric MALT lymphoma. We investigated the efficacy of H. pylori eradication and assessed the predictive value of BCL10 nuclear expression and t(11;18)(q21;q21) regarding resistance to H. pylori eradication in primary gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALT lymphoma) patients from mainland China. Twenty-two gastric MALT cases (Stage I(E)) underwent H. pylori eradication with antibiotics, and sequential endoscopic-bioptic follow-ups were performed and assessed with regular morphologic and immunohistochemical examinations. BCL10 nuclear expression and interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for MALT1 and API2/MALT1 were tested. Thirteen out of the 22 cases (59.1%) achieved complete regression (CR) after the eradication of H. pylori. The longest follow-up period in the 22 patients was 68 months, with 12 patients longer than 24 months. For the 13 CR patients, the longest follow-up period after H. pylori eradication was 53 months, with 6 patients longer than 24 months. BCL10 nuclear expression was detected by immunohistochemical staining in 9 cases, including 7 (77.8%) of 9 cases who showed no response (NR) and 2 (15.4%) of 13 patients who achieved CR following eradication therapy (P < 0.05). t(11;18)(q21;q21) was evaluated by interphase FISH in 18 cases including 11 CR and 7 NR patients after H. pylori eradication. t(11;18)(q21;q21) was found in 4 (57.1%) of 7 patients who showed NR following H. pylori eradication, but one in 11 CR patients (P < 0.05). A total of 59.1% of patients with early gastric MALT lymphoma recruited in this study achieved CR after H. pylori eradication. BCL10 nuclear expression and t(11;18)(q21;q21)-positive gastric MALT lymphomas are likely to be related to a failure to respond to H. pylori eradication in Chinese patients.
使用抗生素根除幽门螺杆菌(H. pylori)可使75%的胃黏膜相关淋巴组织淋巴瘤(MALT淋巴瘤)患者完全缓解。我们研究了中国大陆原发性胃黏膜相关淋巴组织淋巴瘤(MALT淋巴瘤)患者中幽门螺杆菌根除的疗效,并评估了BCL10核表达和t(11;18)(q21;q21)对幽门螺杆菌根除耐药性的预测价值。22例胃MALT淋巴瘤病例(I(E)期)接受了抗生素根除幽门螺杆菌治疗,并进行了序贯内镜活检随访,通过常规形态学和免疫组化检查进行评估。检测了BCL10核表达以及MALT1和API2/MALT1的间期荧光原位杂交(FISH)。22例患者中有13例(59.1%)在根除幽门螺杆菌后实现了完全缓解(CR)。22例患者的最长随访期为68个月,其中12例超过24个月。对于13例CR患者,根除幽门螺杆菌后的最长随访期为53个月,其中6例超过24个月。通过免疫组化染色检测到9例患者有BCL10核表达,其中9例中7例(77.8%)无反应(NR),而根除治疗后实现CR的13例患者中有2例(15.4%)有BCL10核表达(P<0.05)。18例患者通过间期FISH评估t(11;18)(q21;q21),其中包括根除幽门螺杆菌后11例CR患者和7例NR患者。在根除幽门螺杆菌后显示NR的7例患者中有4例(57.1%)检测到t(11;18)(q21;q21),而11例CR患者中有1例检测到(P<0.05)。本研究纳入的早期胃MALT淋巴瘤患者中,共有59.1%在根除幽门螺杆菌后实现了CR。BCL10核表达和t(11;18)(q21;q21)阳性的胃MALT淋巴瘤可能与中国患者对幽门螺杆菌根除治疗无反应有关。
