The cytogenetic and diagnostic hallmark of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is translocation t(11;14)(q13;q32), resulting in overexpression of cyclin D1. Cyclin D1 expression was analysed in 32 cases of MCL.
The t(11;14) translocation was detected by fluorescence in situ hybridisation, level of cyclin D1 mRNA by competitive RT-PCR, and level of cyclin D1 and D2 proteins by immunohistochemistry and/or immunoblotting.
In 30 cases, the presence of translocation t(11;14), a high level of cyclin D1 mRNA, and a high level of the cyclin D1 protein were confirmed. Two cyclin D1-negative cases overexpressing cyclin D2 were detected by immunoblotting.
There are rare cyclin D1-negative cases of MCL overexpressing cyclin D2. Anti-cyclin D1 antibodies with low specificity can bind both cyclin D1 and cyclin D2, thus providing false cyclin D1-positive signals in immunohistochemical analysis.
套细胞淋巴瘤(MCL)的细胞遗传学和诊断标志是易位 t(11;14)(q13;q32),导致 cyclin D1 的过表达。本研究分析了 32 例 MCL 中 cyclin D1 的表达。
通过荧光原位杂交检测 t(11;14)易位,竞争性 RT-PCR 检测 cyclin D1 mRNA 的水平,免疫组化和/或免疫印迹检测 cyclin D1 和 D2 蛋白的水平。
在 30 例病例中,证实存在易位 t(11;14)、cyclin D1 mRNA 水平高和 cyclin D1 蛋白水平高。通过免疫印迹检测到 2 例 cyclin D1 阴性但 cyclin D2 过表达的病例。
MCL 中存在罕见的 cyclin D1 阴性但 cyclin D2 过表达的病例。特异性低的抗 cyclin D1 抗体可以与 cyclin D1 和 cyclin D2 结合,从而在免疫组化分析中提供假 cyclin D1 阳性信号。
