Lymphoma-associated translocation t(14;18) in blood B cells of normal
individuals

Netherlands.
Successive oncogenic steps are necessary to generate cancer. In many B-
cell lymphomas, chromosomal translocations are considered to be an early
oncogenic hit. We investigated whether the lymphoma-associated t(14;18)
involving the BCL2 oncogene can occur outside the context of malignancy. To
this end, we extensively screened blood cells from healthy blood donors by
a very sensitive seminested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for breakpoint
junctions at JH1-5 on 14q32 and the major breakpoint region of BCL2 on
18q21. In each individual, mononuclear cells, granulocytes, flow-sorted B
cells, and T cells were separately tested in five to seven independently
performed PCRs (in total, 0.5 x 10(6) to 1.0 x 10(6) cells per fraction per
individual). Amplification products that hybridized with an internal BCL2
probe and a JH probe were sequenced. Six of nine individuals harbored
t(14;18) breakpoints. Translocations were restricted to B cells, with an
estimated frequency of 1 in 10(5) or less circulating B cells. In total, 23
of 51 experiments on B cells were positive in contrast to 1 of 48 on T
cells and 2 of 47 experiments on granulocytes. Consistent with the presence
of 4.7% to 13.0% B cells in the mononuclear cell fractions, only very few
(4 of 47) tests were positive in these fractions. Sequence analysis showed
that four of six individuals harbored two to five unrelated
t(14;18)-carrying B-cell clones. All breakpoints had a structure similar to
that in follicular lymphoma. We propose that B cells with the t(14;18)
translocation are regularly generated in normal individuals, but that only
very few cells with the translocation will acquire the additional oncogenic
hits necessary to establish the malignant phenotype.
