The role of CD68+ macrophage in classical Hodgkin lymphoma patients from Egypt.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:CD68+ tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) play an important role in the progression of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). We assessed the role of CD20 and CD68 + TAM in a cohort of cHL patients from Egypt and correlated the number of CD68 + cells with patients' characteristics, response to treatment, overall and progression free survival rates (OS & PFS). METHODS:CD20 expression and CD68?+?TAM numbers were assessed in representative tumor tissues obtained from 81 cHL patients using flowcytometry (FCM), immunohistochemistry (IHC), and Rt-PCR techniques. RESULTS:The expression levels of CD68 protein by IHC was high in 27 (33.3%), moderate in 15 (18.5%), low in 15 (18.5%), and negative in 24 (29.6%) patients (p =?0.13). CD68-mRNA expression was high in 43/81(53.1%), and low in 38(46.9%) patients (p =?0.6). The number of CD68 + TAM (by FCM) was low (
