Peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified- Case report.

ABSTRACT: T-cell lymphomas are rare malignancies that are often found in older individuals. Here we present the case of a 63 year old female that presented with diffuse cervical, inguinal, and axillary lymphadenopathy with associated weight loss and night sweats. The patient underwent excisional lymph node biopsy which revealed a T-cell lymphoma with findings characteristic of peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified.

Histone modifier gene mutations in peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified.

Project description:Due to heterogeneous morphological and immunophenotypic features, approximately 50% of peripheral T-cell lymphomas are unclassifiable and categorized as peripheral T-cell lymphomas, not otherwise specified. These conditions have an aggressive course and poor clinical outcome. Identification of actionable biomarkers is urgently needed to develop better therapeutic strategies. Epigenetic alterations play a crucial role in tumor progression. Histone modifications, particularly methylation and acetylation, are generally involved in chromatin state regulation. Here we screened the core set of genes related to histone methylation (KMT2D, SETD2, KMT2A, KDM6A) and acetylation (EP300, CREBBP) and identified 59 somatic mutations in 45 of 125 (36.0%) patients with peripheral T-cell lymphomas, not otherwise specified. Histone modifier gene mutations were associated with inferior progression-free survival time of the patients, irrespective of chemotherapy regimens, but an increased response to the histone deacetylase inhibitor chidamide. In vitro, chidamide significantly inhibited the growth of EP300-mutated T-lymphoma cells and KMT2D-mutated T-lymphoma cells when combined with the hypomethylating agent decitabine. Mechanistically, decitabine acted synergistically with chidamide to enhance the interaction of KMT2D with transcription factor PU.1, regulated H3K4me-associated signaling pathways, and sensitized T-lymphoma cells to chidamide. In a xenograft KMT2D-mutated T-lymphoma model, dual treatment with chidamide and decitabine significantly retarded tumor growth and induced cell apoptosis through modulation of the KMT2D/H3K4me axis. Our work thus contributes to the understanding of aberrant histone modification in peripheral T-cell lymphomas, not otherwise specified and the stratification of a biological subset that can benefit from epigenetic treatment.

Impact of Epstein-Barr Virus on Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma Not Otherwise Specified and Angioimmunoblastic T-Cell Lymphoma.

Project description:PurposeThe significance of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections for the prognosis of patients with peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs), specifically angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) and PTCL not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS), remains unclear. The Epstein-Barr encoding region can be used to detect EBV in tissue sections by in situ hybridization (ISH) and by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays of peripheral blood samples from patients with PTCLs. This study compared the outcomes patients with AITL or PTCL-NOS for whom the presence of EBV infection was assessed by these two methods.Patients and methodsThis was a retrospective study of patients newly diagnosed with AITL or PTCL-NOS. All patients were selected from a single transplantation center. EBV-positive lymphomas were detected at the time of diagnosis in tissue sections by ISH or in the blood by PCR.ResultsOut of a cohort of 140 patients with histologically confirmed AITL or PTCL-NOS, 105 were EBV-positive. The 3-year overall survival of patients with EBV-positive TCL was 43.3% compared to 68.6% in patients with EBV-negative TCL (p = .01). Patients who were treated with autologous or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (n = 28 and n = 11, respectively) or chemotherapy alone (n = 66) had 3-year survival rates of 67.0%, 62.3%, and 30.2%, respectively (p <.02). Patients with EBV-positive TCL had a better prognosis after treatment with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation compared to chemotherapy alone, but no difference was seen among patients with EBV-negative TCL.ConclusionsEBV infection was shown to negatively affect the clinical outcomes of patients with TCL. Stem cell transplantation has been found to be an effective treatment for EBV-associated lymphomas. Further investigations are warranted to determine the optimal treatment for these patients.

Identification of multiple subclones in peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified with genomic aberrations.

Project description:Peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL, NOS) with genomic aberrations has been shown to resemble lymphoma-type adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) in terms of its genomic aberration patterns, histopathology, and prognosis. We have shown recently that a majority of patients with acute-type ATLL have multiple subclones that were likely produced in lymph nodes. In this study, we analyzed whether PTCL, NOS with genomic aberrations also has multiple subclones as found in ATLL by means of high-resolution oligo-array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). Thirteen cases of PTCL, NOS were available for 44K high-resolution array CGH analysis. The results showed that 11 (84.6%) of the 13 cases had a log2 ratio imbalance, suggesting that multiple subclones exist in PTCL, NOS with genomic aberrations. In order to analyze the association between multiple subclones and prognosis, we used previous bacterial-artificial chromosome (BAC) array analyses for 29 cases and found that the existence of multiple subclones was associated with a poor prognosis (P = 0.0279).

Pathogenetic and diagnostic significance of microRNA deregulation in peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified.

Project description:Peripheral T-cell lymphomas not otherwise specified (PTCLs/NOS) are rare and aggressive tumours whose molecular pathogenesis and diagnosis are still challenging. The microRNA (miRNA) profile of 23 PTCLs/NOS was generated and compared with that of normal T-lymphocytes (CD4+, CD8+, naive, activated). The differentially expressed miRNA signature was compared with the gene expression profile (GEP) of the same neoplasms. The obtained gene patterns were tested in an independent cohort of PTCLs/NOS. The miRNA profile of PTCLs/NOS then was compared with that of 10 angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphomas (AITLs), 6 anaplastic large-cell lymphomas (ALCLs)/ALK+ and 6 ALCLs/ALK-. Differentially expressed miRNAs were validated in an independent set of 20 PTCLs/NOS, 20 AITLs, 19 ALCLs/ALK- and 15 ALCLs/ALK+. Two hundred and thirty-six miRNAs were found to differentiate PTCLs/NOS from activated T-lymphocytes. To assess which miRNAs impacted on GEP, a multistep analysis was performed, which identified all miRNAs inversely correlated to different potential target genes. One of the most discriminant miRNAs was selected and its expression was found to affect the global GEP of the tumours. Moreover, two sets of miRNAs were identified distinguishing PTCL/NOS from AITL and ALCL/ALK-, respectively. The diagnostic accuracy of this tool was very high (83.54%) and its prognostic value validated.

The survival outcome of patients with relapsed/refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma-not otherwise specified and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma.

Project description:Survival outcome of patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma-not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) who experience disease progression/relapse remains very poor. A total of 321 patients, newly diagnosed with PTCL-NOS (n = 180) or AITL (n = 141) between 1999 and 2015, were analysed. Failure-free survival (FFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated from the time of first disease progression (FFS1, OS1), from second disease progression (FFS2, OS2) and from third progression (FFS3, OS3). With a median follow-up duration of 52 months, 240 patients (135 PTCL-NOS, 105 AITL) experienced progression/relapse. In patients with PTCL-NOS, the median durations of FFS1, FFS2 and FFS3 were 3·1, 2·5 and 2·1 months, respectively. In patients with AITL, they were 5·5, 2·9 and 2·3 months, respectively. There was no improvement in FFS1 and OS1 by the time of recurrence during this period (1999-2004, 2005-2009 and 2010-2015). The median FFS after pralatrexate and romidepsin was only 3·0 and 2·5 months, respectively. The 5-year OS rates after salvage autologous and allogeneic transplant were 32% and 52%, respectively; while the 5-year OS rates for patients who did not undergo transplant was 10%. Further research for novel therapeutic approaches with higher efficacy and better safety profile are needed.

Proteomic profiling identifies outcome-predictive markers in patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified.

Project description:Peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) constitutes a heterogeneous category of lymphomas, which do not fit into any of the specifically defined T-cell lymphoma entities. Both the pathogenesis and tumor biology in PTCL-NOS are poorly understood. Protein expression in pretherapeutic PTCL-NOS tumors was analyzed by proteomics. Differentially expressed proteins were compared in 3 distinct scenarios: (A) PTCL-NOS tumor tissue (n = 18) vs benign lymphoid tissue (n = 8), (B) clusters defined by principal component analysis (PCA), and (C) tumors from patients with chemosensitive vs refractory PTCL-NOS. Selected differentially expressed proteins identified by proteomics were correlated with clinico-pathological features and outcome in a larger cohort of patients with PTCL-NOS (n = 87) by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Most proteins with altered expression were identified comparing PTCL-NOS vs benign lymphoid tissue. PCA of the protein profile defined 3 distinct clusters. All benign samples clustered together, whereas PTCL-NOS tumors separated into 2 clusters with different patient overall survival rates (P = .001). Differentially expressed proteins reflected large biological diversity among PTCL-NOS, particularly associated with alterations of "immunological" pathways. The 2 PTCL-NOS subclusters defined by PCA showed disturbance of "stress-related" and "protein metabolic" pathways. ?-Enolase 1 (ENO1) was found differentially expressed in all 3 analyses, and high intratumoral ENO1 expression evaluated by IHC correlated with poor outcome (hazard ratio, 2.09; 95% confidence interval, 1.17-3.73; P = .013). High expression of triosephosphate isomerase (TPI1) also showed a tendency to correlate with poor survival (P = .057). In conclusion, proteomic profiling of PTCL-NOS provided evidence of markedly altered protein expression and identified ENO1 as a novel potential prognostic marker.

Fusion transcripts FYN-TRAF3IP2 and KHDRBS1-LCK hijack T cell receptor signaling in peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified.

Project description:Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is a heterogeneous group of non-Hodgkin lymphomas with poor prognosis. Up to 30% of PTCL lack distinctive features and are classified as PTCL, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS). To further improve our understanding of the genetic landscape and biology of PTCL-NOS, we perform RNA-sequencing of 18 cases and validate results in an independent cohort of 37 PTCL cases. We identify FYN-TRAF3IP2, KHDRBS1-LCK and SIN3A-FOXO1 as new in-frame fusion transcripts, with FYN-TRAF3IP2 as a recurrent fusion detected in 8 of 55 cases. Using ex vivo and in vivo experiments, we demonstrate that FYN-TRAF3IP2 and KHDRBS1-LCK activate signaling pathways downstream of the T cell receptor (TCR) complex and confer therapeutic vulnerability to clinically available drugs.

Intraoral Pigmented Low-Grade Adenocarcinoma, Not Otherwise Specified: Case Report and Immunohistochemical Study.

Project description:Salivary adenocarcinoma, not otherwise specified (AdCaNOS) is a rare malignant tumor with potential diagnostic challenge, which mainly affects the parotid glands; however, the minor salivary glands can also be involved by AdCaNOS. This paper reports a case of a 45-year-old Afro-descendant woman complaining of a slow-growing mass with 6 months of evolution in the left superior vestibular fornix. Microscopic examination revealed an infiltrative epithelial neoplasm composed of predominantly solid growth pattern, arranged in a lobular configuration, admixed with glandular or ductal structures. Perineural invasion was evident. The tumor cells were polygonal or oval showing focally mild nuclear pleomorphism, and eosinophilic or clear cytoplasm. Notably, some areas exhibited intracytoplasmic pigment granules mainly in non-luminal cells, as well as sebaceous-like cells, discrete hyaline material deposition and foci of infiltration of residual salivary gland parenchyma. Tumor cells were negative for PAS, mucicarmine and Alcian blue stains. By immunohistochemistry, the tumor cells were diffuse and strongly positive for pan-cytokeratin (CK) AE1/AE3, 34betaE12 CK, vimentin, p63 and S100. CK7 and EMA strongly highlighted the ductal structures. Solid areas also showed diffuse and moderate expression of CD56. Podoplanin (D2-40), GFAP and Calponin, followed by DOG-1, were focally positive; whereas CK20, ?-SMA, h-Caldesmon, CD57, ERBB2/HER2 and p53 were negative. Ki-67 was <?2%. Consecutive serial tissue sections using CD57 confirmed the perineural invasion. Positivity for HMB-45 and MART-1/Melan-A, as well as Fontana-Masson stain (and potassium permanganate bleaching-sensitive), identified the pigment granules as melanin. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of intraoral low-grade AdCaNOS with intracytoplasmic melanin granules.
