Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells represent an expansion of a
single clone originating from a germinal center B-cell with functional

transcription

Single cell studies aimed at clarifying the nature and clonality of
Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells of classical Hodgkin's disease
(HD) have so far produced conflicting results. Using an improved single
cell procedure, the HRS cells of 25 patients with nodular sclerosing HD
lacking B- and T-cell antigens, with and without Epstein-Barr virus
infection, were analyzed for the presence of immunoglobulin (Ig) gene
rearrangements. One patient with HD developed follicular lymphoma 2 years later. Both lymphomas originated from a common precursor
identified as a germinal center B cell. The data show that all but one
of the investigated cases harbored rearranged Ig genes, which were
clonal in all instances and carried a high load of somatic mutations.
The Ig coding capacity was preserved in 18 of the 24 cases (75%) with
rearrangements. However, expression of Ig messenger RNA was not
detectable in the HRS cells with the exception of Ig kappa light chain
expression in some tumor cells of 1 case. The lack of Ig gene
transcription in HRS cells was confirmed by analyzing the HD cell lines
L428 and KM-H2 in transient transfection experiments. An Ig
promoter/enhancer reporter construct showed virtually no activity in
these cells compared to 5 control B-cell lines. We conclude that (1)
classical HD is a B-cell lymphoma in most instances, (2) HRS cells are
clonal without any exception, (3) they are derived from germinal center
B-cells that (4) mostly lack crippling mutations but (5) have
consistently lost their Ig gene transcription ability, due to
functional defects in the Ig gene regulatory elements.
