Immunohistochemical Stains

The distinction between classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is not problematic in most instances. In rare situations, HL may present with a sinusoidal infiltrative pattern that may mimic ALCL. It is important to use a battery of immunohistochemical stains to differentiate between these two entities as therapy and clinical behavior are different. We present a case of a young woman who presents with the very unusual intrasinusoidal infiltrative pattern.

It is well recognized that the AP-1 transcription factor BATF3 is constitutively expressed in Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells, but its potential as a diagnostic marker for classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) has not yet been addressed. In this study, we performed immunohistochemistry and analyzed the BATF3 expression in lymphoma cells on 218 lymphoma samples belonging to 14 different lymphoma entities. We observed varying degrees of BATF3 expression in nearly half of the cases (n = 100) with BATF3 expression being a constitutive feature of cHL (n = 53) and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). By scoring BATF3 expression (BATF3-score) we observed constitutively high BATF3-scores in cHL and ALCL and low to moderate BATF3-scores in all other entities examined. Western blot analysis confirmed BATF3 protein expression in cell lysates from cHL cell lines (n = 7). Thus, BATF3 can be considered a useful IHC marker for the diagnosis of cHL as it is highly sensitive and sufficiently specific when analyzed by BATF3-scoring.

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) and classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) are lymphomas that contain CD30-expressing tumor cells and have numerous pathological similarities. Whereas ALCL is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage, cHL more frequently presents with localized disease. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the different clinical presentation of ALCL and cHL. Chemokine and chemokine receptor expression were similar in primary ALCL and cHL cases apart from the known overexpression of the chemokines CCL17 and CCL22 in the Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells of cHL. Consistent with the overexpression of these chemokines, primary cHL cases encountered a significantly denser T cell microenvironment than ALCL. Additionally to differences in the interaction with their microenvironment, cHL cell lines presented a lower and less efficient intrinsic cell motility than ALCL cell lines, as assessed by time-lapse microscopy in a collagen gel and transwell migration assays. We thus propose that the combination of impaired basal cell motility and differences in the interaction with the microenvironment hamper the dissemination of HRS cells in cHL when compared with the tumor cells of ALCL.
