Molecular genetic analysis of three AIDS-associated neoplasms of uncertain
lineage demonstrates their B-cell derivation and the possible pathogenetic
role of the Epstein-Barr virus

Surgeons, New York 10032.
Each of three individuals with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
developed a pleomorphic malignant neoplasm in which a precise
histopathologic diagnosis could not be rendered. In each case, the tumor
cells expressed leukocyte common antigen and a variable constellation of
antigens associated with B- and T-cell activation (HLA- DR, T9, T10, BL2,
BL3, Ki-24, BLAST-2). They lacked all B cell, T cell, myeloid, and monocyte
lineage-restricted antigens, resulting in their classification as
hematopoietic neoplasms of uncertain lineage. However, antigen receptor
gene rearrangement analysis demonstrated that each of these three neoplasms
exhibited clonal immunoglobulin heavy chain and kappa light chain gene
rearrangements and lacked T-cell receptor beta chain gene rearrangements
and therefore were B cell- derived non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL)
representative of an equivalent, relatively mature stage of B-cell
differentiation. In contrast with most AIDS-associated NHLs, each of these
three neoplasms lacked c-myc gene rearrangements and contained Epstein-Barr
virus (EBV) proteins and/or sequences. These studies demonstrate that these
three AIDS- associated neoplasms of uncertain lineage exhibit a strikingly
similar constellation of distinctly uncommon morphologic, immunophenotypic,
and molecular genetic characteristics that distinguishes them substantially
from the vast majority of NHLs that have been reported to occur in
association with AIDS. The consistent presence of EBV proteins and/or DNA
sequences suggests that the Epstein-Barr virus played a pathogenetic role
in the development of these three AIDS-associated neoplasms. Finally, these
studies further illustrate the utility of antigen receptor gene
rearrangement analysis in the diagnosis and classification of hematopoietic
neoplasms of uncertain lineage.
