T(11;18)(q21;q21) is a specific chromosomal translocation associated with mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. It fuses the amino terminal of the API2 gene to the carboxyl terminal of the MALT1 gene and generates a chimeric fusion product. Although the translocation is frequently detected in gastric and pulmonary MALT lymphoma, its incidence in MALT lymphomas from other sites is largely unknown. It also remains unknown whether the occurrence of the translocation is influenced by the nature of preceding diseases associated with MALT lymphomas. We screened for t(11;18)(q21;q21) in 417 cases of MALT lymphoma from 8 major sites by RT-PCR. T(11;18)(q21;q21) was found at highest frequencies in MALT lymphomas from the lung (38%) and stomach (24%), and at moderate frequencies in those from the conjunctiva (19%) and orbit (14%). However, the translocation was only rarely found in MALT lymphomas from the salivary gland (1%) and was absent in those from the thyroid, skin, liver and other rare sites, and in immunoproliferative small intestinal disease (IPSID). In gastric MALT lymphoma, t(11;18)(q21;q21) was significantly associated with infection by CagA positive strains of H. pylori. As CagA positive strains of H. pylori are much more potent in induction of host inflammatory responses including activation of neutrophils, which release highly genotoxic oxygen reactive species, we therefore examined neutrophil infiltration in recognized precursors of MALT lymphoma including H. pylori associated gastritis, lymphoepithelial sialadenitis and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Neutrophil infiltration was prominent in H. pylori associated gastritis but not in lymphoepithelial sialadenitis and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Our results demonstrate that t(11;18)(q21;q21) occurs at markedly variable frequencies in MALT lymphoma of different sites and suggest that the occurrence of the translocation is influenced by the nature of pre-malignant diseases associated with MALT lymphoma. Oxidative damage might play a role in development of t(11;18)(q21;q21). CiteULike    Connotea    Del.icio.us    Digg    Reddit    Technorati    What's this?
