Gene expression and immunohistochemical profiling of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) have revealed important prognostic subgroups: germinal center B-cell-like (GCB-like) DLBCL and activated B cell-like (ABC-like) DLBCL. Although few reports on high-risk DLBCL are available, the prognosis for the GCB-like subgroup has been shown to be better than that of the ABC-like subgroup. The role of Bcl-2 as a predictor of survival in DLBCL cases is unclear and its expression varies between the two subgroups of DLBCL. In this study, we analyzed the frequency and prognostic impact of Bcl-2 protein expression in high-risk DLBCL cases.
Retrospective cohort study among DLBCL patients treated at Hospital das Clínicas, Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo (HC-FMUSP).
The prognostic impact of the expression of the proteins CD10, Bcl-6, MUM1 (multiple myeloma oncogene-1) and Bcl-2 on high-risk DLBCL cases was evaluated by means of immunohistochemistry. Seventy-three patients aged 18-60 years were evaluated for all these markers.
Twenty-four cases (32.9%) were GCB-like and 49 (67.1%) were ABC-like, with no difference regarding complete remission, disease-free survival or overall survival rates. Twenty-seven patients (37%) showed Bcl-2 expression, which was the only independent factor predicting a worse prognosis for overall survival according to multivariate analysis.
Bcl-2 protein was expressed in 37% of the high-risk DLBCL patients, without any difference between the ABC-like DLBCL and GCB-like DLBCL cases.
弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL)的基因表达和免疫组化分析揭示了重要的预后亚组:生发中心B细胞样(GCB样)DLBCL和活化B细胞样(ABC样)DLBCL。尽管关于高危DLBCL的报道较少,但已表明GCB样亚组的预后优于ABC样亚组。Bcl-2作为DLBCL病例生存预测指标的作用尚不清楚,且其在DLBCL的两个亚组中的表达有所不同。在本研究中,我们分析了高危DLBCL病例中Bcl-2蛋白表达的频率及其对预后的影响。
对圣保罗大学医学院临床医院(HC-FMUSP)治疗的DLBCL患者进行回顾性队列研究。
通过免疫组化评估蛋白CD10、Bcl-6、多发性骨髓瘤癌基因1(MUM1)和Bcl-2的表达对高危DLBCL病例的预后影响。对73例年龄在18至60岁之间的患者进行了所有这些标志物的评估。
24例(32.9%)为GCB样,49例(67.1%)为ABC样,在完全缓解率、无病生存率或总生存率方面无差异。27例患者(37%)表现出Bcl-2表达,根据多变量分析,这是预测总生存预后较差的唯一独立因素。
37%的高危DLBCL患者表达Bcl-2蛋白,ABC样DLBCL和GCB样DLBCL病例之间无任何差异。
