Recent molecular single-cell studies have shown that in
approximately 95% of cases, Reed-Sternberg cells of classic Hodgkin disease (HD) are derived from B cells of germinal center origin. Attempts to determine the cellular nature of the remaining cases have
so far failed. To clarify whether they are derived from T cells, this
study examined 791 single CD30+ Hodgkin and
Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells from 13 T-cell marker-positive cases and
from 6 cases with null-cell phenotype for rearranged T-cell
receptor-gamma (TCR- ) genes by single copy polymerase chain
reaction. Monoclonally rearranged TCR- genes were detectable in 2 of
the 13 classic HD cases with T-cell marker-positive HRS cells, with
none detectable in the null-cell cases. Eight of the T-cell
marker-positive cases and all 6 null-cell cases were also studied for
rearrangements of immunoglobulin genes. Six of the 8 T-cell
marker-positive cases harbored clonal immunoglobulin gene
rearrangements. The 2 cases without rearranged immunoglobulin genes
were those that contained clonal TCR- rearrangements and lacked
expression of the B-cell-specific activator protein. From these
findings we conclude that cases of classic HD with T-cell-derived HRS
cells definitely exist, although their overall incidence at 1% to 2%
is very low. Even within the T-cell marker-positive cases only a
minority (15%) were derived from T cells. The majority (85%)
originated from B cells, indicating that the T-cell antigens expressed
by HRS cells are, in contrast to those expressed in non-Hodgkin
lymphoma, not lineage specific.
