چکیده

The pathogenesis of immunodeficiency-associated lymphoma is poorly understood. During the past several years, numerous lines of evidence implicating a multistep process of malignant transformation, also known as sequential pathogenesis, have emerged. Tumor-associated macrophage production of specific lymphostimulatory products has been demonstrated and hypothesized to be central to this process. While attempting to establish primary effusion lymphoma in severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice, we discovered a potential model of murine lymphomagenesis consistent with the sequential pathogenesis model. This pathogenesis-based model of lymphoma could significantly impact the current thinking about posttransplantation and other immunodeficiency-related lymphoproliferative disorders. Human primary effusion lymphoma-derived CD14+ cell-injected SCID mice developed aggressive murine large cell lymphomas. Tumor cell preparations containing CD14 cells or isolated CD14 cells induced lymphoma/lymphoproliferative diseases in 74% (20 of 27) of injected SCID mice. No tumors were induced by tumor-associated CD3 cells (0 of 4), normal human macrophages (0 of 13), or a murine macrophage cell line (0 of 10). Human macrophages were detected in tumor-bearing animals up to 6 months postinjection in association with the murine T-cell tumors but were not detected in controls or unaffected animals. These observations are consistent with the macrophage-initiated sequential pathogenesis model of disease (M. S. McGrath et al., Acquir. Immune Defic. Syndr., 8: 379-385, 1995; M. S. McGrath et al., Infectious Causes of Cancer: Targets for Intervention, pp. 231-242, Totowa, NJ: Humana Press, 2000).

Combination of Arsenic and Interferon-α Inhibits Expression of KSHV Latent Transcripts and Synergistically Improves Survival of Mice with Primary Effusion Lymphomas

BACKGROUND Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the etiologic agent of primary effusion lymphomas (PEL). PEL cell lines infected with KSHV, but negative for Epstein-Barr virus have a tumorigenic potential in non-obese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient mice and result in efficient engraftment and formation of malignant ascites with notable abdominal distension, consistent with ...

Characterization of posttransplant lymphomas that express T-cell-associated markers: immunophenotypes, molecular genetics, cytogenetics, and heterotransplantation in severe combined immunodeficient mice.

Immunosuppressed individuals are at high risk for the development of hematologic malignancies. The typical lymphomas arising in organ transplant recipients are B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas that contain Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA sequences. We investigated the characteristics of posttransplant lymphomas that lacked expression of the usual markers associated with EBV transformation. We descri...

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV or HHV8) in primary effusion lymphoma: ultrastructural demonstration of herpesvirus in lymphoma cells.

Recent molecular evidence suggests an association with a new herpesvirus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV/HHV-8), and primary effusion lymphomas (PELs). PELs have a characteristic morphology, phenotype, and clinical presentation, with malignant effusions in the absence of a contiguous solid tumor mass. We have established a cell line (KS-1) from a KSHV-positive human immunodeficie...

Shiga-like toxin purges human lymphoma from bone marrow of severe combined immunodeficient mice.

Shiga-like toxin-1 (SLT-1) is a bacterial toxin that kills cells by inhibiting protein synthesis. SLT-1 is composed of one cytotoxic A-subunit and five B-subunits that bind to CD77, a cell-surface glycolipid. In the human hematopoietic system, CD77 expression is restricted to a subset of activated B cells and derived cancers. Here we report that SLT-1 treatment of murine bone marrow ex vivo eff...

Establishing a KSHV+ cell line (BCP-1) from peripheral blood and characterizing its growth in Nod/SCID mice.

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV or HHV8) sequences are present in primary effusion lymphomas (PEL). KSHV+ cell lines have been established from such lymphomas. Here we report the first description of the establishment of a KSHV+, EBV- cell line (BCP-1) from the peripheral blood of a patient with PEL. Using this cell line and a KSHV+, EBV+ PEL cell line (HBL-6) previously establish...
