BackgroundLymphoma-associated macrophages (LAMs) are key components in the lymphoma microenvironment, which may impact disease progression and response to therapy. There are two major subtypes of LAMs, CD68+ M1 and CD163+ M2. M2 LAMs can be transformed from M1 LAMs, particularly in certain diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL). While mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is well-known to contain frequent epithelioid macrophages, LAM characterization within MCL has not been fully described. Herein we evaluate the immunophenotypic subclassification, the expression of immune checkpoint molecule PD-L1, and the prognostic impact of LAMs in MCL.Materials and MethodsA total of 82 MCL cases were collected and a tissue microarray block was constructed. Immunohistochemical staining was performed using CD68 and CD163, and the positive cells were recorded manually in four representative 400× fields for each case. Multiplexed quantitative immunofluorescence assays were carried out to determine PD-L1 expression on CD68+ M1 LAMs and CD163+ M2 LAMs. In addition, we assessed Ki67 proliferation rate of MCL by an automated method using the QuPath digital imaging analysis. The cut-off points of optimal separation of overall survival (OS) were analyzed using the X-Tile software, the SPSS version 26 was used to construct survival curves, and the log-rank test was performed to calculate the p-values.ResultsMCL had a much higher count of M1 LAMs than M2 LAMs with a CD68:CD163 ratio of 3:1. Both M1 and M2 LAMs were increased in MCL cases with high Ki67 proliferation rates (>30%), in contrast to those with low Ki67 (<30%). Increased number of M1 or M2 LAMs in MCL was associated with an inferior OS. Moreover, high expression of PD-L1 on M1 LAMs had a slightly better OS than the cases with low PD-L1 expression, whereas low expression of PD-L1 on M2 LAMs had a slightly improved OS, although both were not statistically significant.ConclusionsIn contrast to DLBCL, MCL had a significantly lower rate of M1 to M2 polarization, and the high levels of M1 and M2 LAMs were associated with poor OS. Furthermore, differential PD-L1 expressions on LAMs may partially explain the different functions of tumor-suppressing or tumor-promoting of M1 and M2 LAMs, respectively.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a subtype of B-cell lymphoma with a large number of recurrent cytogenetic/molecular aberrations. Approximately 5–10% of patients do not respond to frontline immunochemotherapy. Despite many useful prognostic indexes, a reliable marker of chemoresistance is not available. We evaluated the prognostic impact of seven recurrent gene aberrations including tumor suppressor protein P53 (TP53) and cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A) in the cohort of 126 newly diagnosed consecutive MCL patients with bone marrow involvement ≥5% using fluorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH) and next-generation sequencing (NGS). In contrast to TP53, no pathologic mutations of CDKN2A were detected by NGS. CDKN2A deletions were found exclusively in the context of other gene aberrations suggesting it represents a later event (after translocation t(11;14) and aberrations of TP53, or ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM)). Concurrent deletion of CDKN2A and aberration of TP53 (deletion and/or mutation) represented the most significant predictor of short EFS (median 3 months) and OS (median 10 months). Concurrent aberration of TP53 and CDKN2A is a new, simple, and relevant index of chemoresistance in MCL. Patients with concurrent aberration of TP53 and CDKN2A should be offered innovative anti-lymphoma therapy and upfront consolidation with allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

Abstract INTRODUCTION. Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a well defined mature B-cell neoplasm, usually with an aggressive behaviour and a median survival of 3–5 years. It is characterized by the presence of t(11;14)(q13;q32), that leads to overexpression of CCND1. This translocation is detected by conventional cytogenetics (CC) in more than 65% of the cases. Nevertheless, cyclin D1 overexpression alone is not sufficient to give rise to a MCL. Several secondary genetic abnormalities with a potential role in the oncogenic process have been described using different molecular and cytogenetic techniques but no data from large series of MCL cases studied by CC have been correlated with survival and proliferation information. AIMS. 1. To correlate secondary chromosomal abnormalities, histological subtype and proliferative index with survival. 2. To describe the frequency of secondary chromosomal aberrations using CC and a large series of MCL patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS. We selected 145 MCL cases (94M/51F; mean age 65.4 yrs; mean survival 33 mo.), all of them with an abnormal karyotype. Histological subtype, proliferative index (Ki-67) and survival data were collected. All patients were studied by conventional GTG-banding cytogenetics, and FISH with a dual colour dual fusion CCND1/IGH probe was applied in those cases with an abnormal karyotype but without t(11;14) detected by CC. RESULTS. Translocation t(11;14) was detected as a single anomaly in 36% of patients, whereas 57% of cases displayed t(11;14) plus other additional aberrations and 6% of patients showed an abnormal karyotype without t(11;14) which was detected by FISH. We observed a total of 550 abnormalities (147 numerical and 403 structural), being the most frequent deletions of 1p (12%), 13q and 17p (10% each) and gains of 3q (9%). Recurrent breakpoints were identified at 1p31–p32, 1p21–p22, 17p13 and 1p36 (in eight, six, five and four cases, respectively). Blastoid variants of MCL displayed more karyotypic complexity with high number of structural alterations, higher number of 1p and 17p deletions, higher proliferation index and poor survival. CONCLUSIONS. 1. MCL cases associated with 17p losses (overall survival at 4 yrs: 15% vs 50%; P=0.01) and high proliferative index (15% vs 55%; P=0.005), generally corresponding to blastoid variants, display a worse outcome. 2. Our results confirm, by means of a routine technique as CC, previous observations made using more sophisticated molecular techniques in shorter series of patients.

Purpose Mantle-cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rather aggressive B-cell malignancy whose considerable variability of individual outcome is associated with clinical characteristics (Mantle Cell Lymphoma International Prognostic Index [MIPI]). The Ki-67 index is a strong independent prognostic factor; however, the biologic MIPI (MIPI-b) distinguishes only two groups, which does not appropriately depict the clinical heterogeneity. By using the cohort from the European MCL Younger and MCL Elderly trials, we aimed to evaluate the additional prognostic impact of cytology and growth pattern and to improve risk stratification with the Ki-67 index and MIPI. Patients and Methods Diagnostic tumor biopsies were reviewed by the European Mantle Cell Lymphoma Pathology Panel to determine Ki-67 index by using published guidelines, cytology, and growth pattern. We evaluated prognostic effects for overall survival (OS) by Cox regression. For the cohort used for MIPI-b development (German Low-Grade Lymphoma Study Group [GLSG] 1996 and GLSG2000), we checked whether the equally weighted combination of Ki-67 index (dichotomized at the validated 30% cutoff) and MIPI risk groups was adequate and compared the prognostic power of this modified combination to MIPI and MIPI-b for the MCL Younger/MCL Elderly cohort. Results The Ki-67 index was assessed in 508 of 832 patients (median age, 62 years). Blastoid cytology was associated with inferior OS independently of MIPI but not independently of the Ki-67 index. Growth pattern was not independently prognostic. The modified combination of the Ki-67 index and MIPI separated four groups with 5-year OS: 85%, 72%, 43%, and 17% (P < .001) and was more discriminative than MIPI and MIPI-b. Conclusion Using the Ki-67 index is superior to using cytology and growth pattern as prognostic factors in MCL. The modified combination of the Ki-67 index and MIPI showed a refined risk stratification, reflecting their strong complementary prognostic effects while integrating the most relevant prognostic factors available in clinical routine.

Abstract Background There is a consensus that younger patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) should receive intensive immunochemotherapy regimens including high-dose cytarabine, rituximab and high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell support, but the optimization of treatment for elderly or unfit patients, as well as patients with localized or indolent disease, remains a challenge. Methods Our study is based on data from the Swedish and Danish Lymphoma Registries from the period of 2000-2011, in Sweden supplemented by review of patients´ records. The Lymphoma Registries comprise >95% of all diagnosed lymphoma patients in Sweden and Denmark. Results 1389 patients were diagnosed with MCL, confirmed by positive cyclin-D1 and CD5 staining, in Sweden and Denmark between 2000 and 2011. In this population based cohort, we could confirm the prognostic impact of MIPI, but in addition, male sex was associated with inferior overall survival (OS) in multivariate analysis (HR 1.4, p<0.001). Treatment with the Nordic MCL2 regimen (n=324) was associated with superior outcome compared to the majority of other regimens (3-year OS: 80%). In patients >65 years, chlorambucil (n=132) was superior to CVP (n=35) (HR 1.8, p=0.003), when adjusted for MIPI and rituximab, but there was no significant difference between CHOP (n=311) and CHOP+Cytarabine (n=84). Rituximab (HR 1.5, p<0.001) and autologous stem cell transplantation (HR 1.9, p<0.001 ) per se were both associated with prolonged OS in multivariate analysis. Forty-three (3.1%) patients with stage I-II disease received radiotherapy as primary treatment with curative intent showing an estimated 3-year OS of 93%. A small proportion, 29 patients (2.1%), were followed without treatment. Estimated 3-year OS for this group of patients was 79%. Conclusion By a population-based approach, we were able to provide novel data on prognostic factors and primary treatment of MCL, applicable to routine clinical practice.
