Περιγραφή
Lymphomas with T-cell phenotype represent a heterogeneous group of diseases differing in histopathology, tumour site, and cell origin. They include peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) derived from alpha beta cells, but also some recently recognized entities such as gamma delta, hepatosplenic lymphomas and natural killer (NK) cell lymphomas. Only a few studies have investigated the possibility that at least some PTCLs could be derived from lymphocytes with cytotoxic potential. In order to investigate this possibility, 60 cases of PTCL, including 27 cases expressing the alpha beta T-cell receptor (TCR alpha beta), 15 TCR gamma delta cases and 18 cases expressing neither TCR (TCR silent), as well as 14 cases of NK-cell lymphomas, were studied by immunohistochemistry for the expression of TIA-1, perforin, and granzyme B proteins. Expression of TIA-1 is characteristic of cytotoxic cells regardless of their activation status, whereas expression of perforin and granzymes is highly increased in activated cytotoxic cells and correlates with the induction of cytolytic activity. All NK-cell lymphomas (11 sinonasal, three systemic cases) expressed TIA-1, perforin, and granzyme B in most tumour cells. All gamma delta PTCLs (15 cases) expressed TIA-1 protein in most tumour cells, with a different cytotoxic antigen profile in hepatosplenic gamma delta PTCL (TIA-1+, perforin-, granzyme B-) and in non-hepatosplenic gamma delta PTCLs (three nasal, one skin, one lung), the latter expressing the three cytotoxic proteins. Of the 45 cases of alpha beta and TCR silent PTCL, 15 (33 per cent) were considered to be derived from cytotoxic lymphocytes with expression of at least one cytotoxic protein (TIA-1, 15/45; perforin, 10/41; granzyme B, 14/38) in tumour cells. This cytotoxic protein expression appeared to be related to the site of localization, since 7/13 (54 per cent) extranodal and only 8/32 (25 per cent) nodal alpha beta and TCR silent PTCLs expressed TIA-1, and to histology, since this pattern was observed in a proportion of anaplastic (6/8, 75 per cent) and pleomorphic (8/17, 47 per cent) lymphomas, but not in AILD-type NHL (0/16). Taken together, our data suggest that NK-cell lymphomas and non-hepatosplenic gamma delta PTCLs represent tumours of activated cytotoxic NK cells and gamma delta T cells, respectively; that hepatosplenic gamma delta PTCLs represent tumours of non-activated cytotoxic gamma delta T cells; and that a small proportion of alpha beta and TCR silent PTCLs, mostly extranodal cases, or nodal anaplastic lymphomas, represent tumours of cytotoxic T cells.
