Follicular lymphomas recapitulate the architecture of germinal centers
(GCs) of normal secondary lymphoid follicles. Using an in vitro binding
assay, it has recently been demonstrated that the normal B lymphocytes bind
to GCs. This interaction is mediated by a receptor-ligand pair consisting
of the beta 1 integrin very late antigen 4 (VLA-4) on the B cell, and the
vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) expressed on follicular
dendritic cells (FDC). Considering the similarities between follicular
lymphomas and normal GCs, the adhesive interaction of follicular
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) cells and GCs was examined. Cells isolated
from 16 of 24 cases of follicular NHL bound to normal GCs. Neoplastic
follicles could similarly support the binding of follicular NHL cells. This
adhesion was inhibited by monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) directed against
VLA-4 and VCAM-1. This supports the hypothesis that the neoplastic
follicles used the identical adhesive interactions responsible, at least in
part, for the localization of normal B cells to GCs. Adhesion receptors
have an important role in the regulation of normal lymphoid cell
proliferation, differentiation, and localization. Therefore, an
understanding of the adhesive interaction of follicular NHL cells with GCs
may provide insight into the clinical and biologic behavior of these
diseases.
