目的初步探讨儿童成熟B细胞非霍奇金淋巴瘤(B—NHL)中BCL-2、BCL-6蛋白表达及其临床病理意义。方法收集1999—2011年复旦大学附属儿科医院血液科收治的92例初治儿童B—NHL资料,包括伯基特淋巴瘤(burkitl lymphoma,BL)53例,弥漫大B细胞性淋巴瘤(DLBCL)38例,以及介于BL与DLBCL之间未能分类的B细胞淋巴瘤(BL/DLBCL)1例。92例患儿年龄≤16岁。所有病例均经过2家三级甲等医院病理科诊断。通过免疫组织化学技术检测儿童B.NHL中BCL-2、BCL.6蛋白表达情况。结果(1)92例儿童B.NHL中47例进行BCL-2蛋白检测,BCL.2表达阳性率在BL和DLBCL中分别为9.7%(3/31)和33.3%(5/15),差异具有统计学意义(P=0.047)。BCL-2蛋白表达与性别、临床分期及预后无相关性(P〉0.05)。(2)31例儿童B—NHL进行BCL-6蛋白检测,BCL-6表达阳性组与阴性组2年EFS分别为83.3%和45.5%,差异有统计学意义(P=0.019);在临床分期为Ⅲ-Ⅳ期儿童B-NHL中,BCL-6阳性组与阴性组的2年EFS分别为80%和40%,2组差异具有统计学意义(P=0.023)。结论儿童B.NHL中BCL-2蛋白表达与病理类型有关,BL中BCL-2蛋白一般表达阴性,可用于BL与DLBCL之间的鉴别;儿童B—NHL中BCL-6表达阳性的患儿预后较好,提示BCL-6可能是B-NHL的预后因素之一。
Objective The study was designed to investigate the protein expression of BCL-2 and BCL-6 in children with B-NHL and its clinic-pathological significance. Method Between July 1999 and October 2011,92 untreated patients (age 16 years or less) with newly diagnosed B-NHL (including BL, DLBCL and BL/DLBCL) were enrolled. We use the immunohistochemical technique (Envision TM) to detect BCL-2, BCL-6 protein expression levels. The expression of BCL-2 and BCL-6 and its association with clinic-pathological features and prognosis were analyzed. Results BCL-2 protein expression was performed in 47 B-NHL, the rate of positivity in BL and DLBCL were 9.7% (3/31) and 33.3% (5/15), respectively. There was significant difference between them (P =0. 047). However, there was no association between the expression of BCL-2 and gender, stage and prognosis (P 〉 0.05 ). BCL-6protein expression was performed in 31 B-NHL, The 2-year EFS was 83.3% for children with BCL-6 protein expression, the other was 45.5%, there was significant differenee between them (P = 0. 019). Children with positive BCL-6 protein expression had better prognosis. Conclusion BCL-2 protein expression was useful for distinguish BL from DLBCL and BCL-6 protein expression is a prognosis factor of B-NHL.
