ABSTRACT

O linfoma de Hodgkin clássico (LHc) caracteriza-se por apresentar 1-2% de células tumorais (Hodgkin e Reed-Sternberg, H-RS), em meio de um infiltrado inflamatório. As células H-RS são caracterizadas por alterações simultâneas e ainda não bem entendidas no ciclo celular e apoptose, e uma alta dependência das células imunes infiltrantes, tendo inclusive estas alterações sido associadas ao desfecho clínico. O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar alterações no ciclo celular e apoptose das células H-RS e a sua relação com a resposta imune local, definida pela composição do microambiente tumoral, em casos de LHc pediátricos, visando identificar cross-talks potenciais entre os dois componentes do tumor. Para isto, foram analisadas por imunohistoquímica (IHQ) os marcadores p53, p21, MDM2, nucleofosmina (NPM) H2AX, ATM, a cinética populacional (Ki-67, Histona H3, número de H-RS, uni e multinucleação), BCL2, caspase-3 (CASP3) e SURVIVINA e a fragmentação de DNA (ensaio de TUNEL) nas células H-RS, em um grupo de 87 pacientes com LHc pediátrico. Estas alterações foram analisadas em relação ao status do vírus Epstein-Barr (EBV), as sub-populações celulares do MAT e a sobrevida livre de progressão (SLP) e global (SG). Uma alta taxa de proliferação (IPC; Ki-67>50% nas H-RS) e taxa mitótica (IM; histona H3>25% nas H-RS) foram observados em 75,9% e 37,5% dos casos, sem associação com o número de células tumorais, enquanto que a expressão de p53, p21, MDM2, ATM ,H2AX, BCL2, CASP3 e SURVIVINA foram observadas em 13,4%, 69%, 83,6%, 59%, 72,7%, 56,6%, 71,4% e 52% dos casos, respectivamente. Quanto a NPM, foi identificada a expressão citoplasmática da proteína (NPMc+) em 66,2% dos casos, posteriormente confirmada por imunoflorescência e por microscopia confocal a laser...


Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) is a B-cell neoplasm characterized by two components, the malignant (Hodgkin-Reed-Sternberg, H-RS) cells which comprise 1-2% of the tumor mass, and an intense inflammatory infiltrate, the tumor microenvironment. H-RS cells exhibit simultaneous alterations in cell cycle and apoptosis and a strong dependence on infiltrating immune cells. The objective of this study was to investigate alterations of H-RS cell cycle and apoptosis and their relationship with the local immune response, defined by the TME composition, aiming to identify a potential cross-talk between the two components of the tumor, in a series of pediatric cHL. For this, different markers were analyzed by immunohistochemistry (IHC), such as H-RS population kinetics (Ki-67, histone H3, number of H-RS, uni and multinucleation), p53, p21, MDM2, nucleophosmin (NPM), pH2AX, pATM, BCL2, caspase-3 (CASP3), survivin and DNA fragmentation (TUNEL assay) in H-RS cells. These results were analyzed in respect of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) status, TME cell subpopulations and survival. A high proliferation rate (IPC; Ki-67>50% in H- RS) and mitotic rate (IM; histone H3>25% in H-RS) were seen in 75.9% and 37.5% of cases, without association with the number of tumor cells, while the expression of p53, p21, MDM2, ATM, H2AX, BCL2, CASP3, and SURVIVIN were seen in 13.4%, 69%, 83.6 %, 59%, 72.7%, 56.6%, 71.4% and 52% of cases, respectively. NPM was aberrantly localized to the cytoplasm (NPMc+) in 66.2% of cases, confirmed by immunofluorescence and confocal laser scanning microscopy. In order to disclose the causes of the aberrant localization, exon 12 mutation analysis was performed from H-RS microdissected cells (2 NPMc+ cases) and by subcloning of total DNA (4 NPMc+ cases), and no mutation were identified. FISH analysis with non-commercial probes did not identify any chromosomal translocation in the NPM1 gene...
