To analyze the relationship between immunophenotyping profile and
main clinicopathological features and outcome in diffuse large B-cell
lymphoma (DLBCL), we studied 128 patients (59 men, 69 women; median age
65 years) consecutively diagnosed with de novo DLBCL in a single
institution. Cells from each patient were immunostained with
CD20, CD79a, CD5, CD10, bcl-6, MUM1, CD138, bcl-2, p53, p27,
and Ki-67 antibodies. Four immunophenotyping profiles were
distinguished according to the pattern of differentiation: germinal
center-CD10+ (GC-CD10+;
CD10+/Bcl-6+/MUM1 /CD138 ),
germinal center-CD10 (GC-CD10 ;
CD10 /Bcl-6+/
MUM1 /CD138 ), post-germinal center (pGC;
CD10 /bcl-6±/
MUM1+/CD138 ), and plasmablastic
(CD10 /bcl-6 /MUM1+/CD138+).
Rearrangement of bcl-2 was studied by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 57 patients. Single-antigen expression was as follows: CD5, 2%; CD10, 21%; bcl-6, 72%; MUM1, 54%; CD138, 2%; bcl-2, 59%; p53, 28%; p27, 40%. Distribution according to differentiation profiles was as follows: GC-CD10+, 24 patients, GC-CD10-,
30 patients; pGC, 60 patients; plasmablastic, 2 patients; other
patterns, 12 patients. The pGC profile was associated with primary
nodal presentation and immunoblastic morphology, whereas
GC-CD10+ tumors showed disseminated disease, centroblastic
morphology, bcl-2 rearrangement, and lower Ki-67 proliferative index.
GC-CD10 patients more often presented with primary
extranodal origin, early stage, normal lactic acid dehydrogenase (LDH)
levels, and low or low/intermediate International Prognostic Index
(IPI) scores than the others. However, no significant difference was
found in terms of response or overall survival (OS) according to these profiles. Expression of bcl-2 was associated with advanced stage, high
or high-intermediate IPI, and poor OS. Expression of bcl-2 maintained
predictive value in multivariate analysis, with stage and LDH. In
conclusion, differentiation profile was associated with particular
clinicopathological features but was not essential to predicting
outcome in DLBCL patients.
