Peripheral T cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS), is a heterogeneous disease with respect to clinicopathological features. Cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1) has been reported to be ectopically expressed in adult T cell leukaemia/lymphoma (ATLL). However, the frequency of CADM1 expression remains unknown in peripheral T cell lymphomas. In the current study, CADM1 expression was analysed in 88 PTCL-NOS patients. CADM1 was expressed in 14 of 88 (15.9%) PTCL-NOS cases, and its expression was associated with C-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CCR4) expression and nuclear atypia. CADM1-positive PTCL-NOS cases (10/74) had a significantly poorer prognosis than CADM1-negative cases (64/74) (P = 0.001). Multivariate analysis confirmed that CADM1 expression was an independent prognostic factor in PTCL-NOS. These findings suggest that CADM1 expression is a novel prognostic factor for PTCL-NOS.
外周T细胞淋巴瘤,非特殊类型(PTCL-NOS)在临床病理特征方面是一种异质性疾病。据报道,细胞粘附分子1(CADM1)在成人T细胞白血病/淋巴瘤(ATLL)中异位表达。然而,CADM1在外周T细胞淋巴瘤中的表达频率尚不清楚。在本研究中,分析了88例PTCL-NOS患者的CADM1表达情况。88例PTCL-NOS病例中有14例(15.9%)表达CADM1,其表达与C-C趋化因子受体4(CCR4)表达及核异型性相关。CADM1阳性的PTCL-NOS病例(10/74)的预后明显比CADM1阴性病例(64/74)差(P = 0.001)。多因素分析证实,CADM1表达是PTCL-NOS的一个独立预后因素。这些发现表明,CADM1表达是PTCL-NOS的一个新的预后因素。
