目的探讨典型免疫表型慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)与不典型CLL在临床特征、Binet分期、淋巴细胞绝对计数(ALC)、ZAP-70蛋白表达、CD38表达、IgVH突变和遗传学特性等预后因素上的差异。方法参照英国CLL临床指南诊断评分系统,77例患者中积分5分的有61例,为典型CLL,积分为4分或3分的有16例,为不典型CLL。采用多参数流式细胞术(FCM)对77例CLL患者的外周血或骨髓标本进行免疫表型检测,包括CD5、CD19、CD23、FMC7、sIg(κ和λ)、CD20、CD79b,并检测预后相关因素ZAP-70和CD38的表达水平;采用多重RT—PCR检测IgVH基因突变状态;组合探针荧光原位杂交(FISH)技术检测分子遗传学异常。结果典型CLL与不典型CLL两组患者在性别、年龄、IgVH基因突变率、ZAP70表达上的差异均无统计学意义(P值分别为0.398、0.189、0.268和0.131);不典型CLL组中ALC≥50×10^9/L、Binet B+C期和CD38阳性率≥30%所占比例(分别为43.8%、87.5%、43.8%)明显高于典型CLL组(分别为16.4%、36.1%、16.4%)(P=0.026、P〈0.01和P=0.026);典型与不典型CLL组的分子遗传学结果也有显著差异,典型CLL组中单独伴有del(13q14)异常的比例(26.8%)大于不典型组(7.6%),而del(17p13)或del(11q22)异常的比例(12.2%)小于不典型组(46.2%)(P=0.022)。结论典型免疫表型CLL与不典型CLL在Binet分期、ALC、CD38表达和遗传学特性上有显著差异。
Objective To analyze the prognostic factors for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with typical and atypical immunophenotype. The parameters analyzed included sex, age, Binet stages, absolute lymphocyte count ( ALC), immunoglobulin heavy-chain variable region (IgVH) gene mutation status, ZAP-70 protein, CD38 expression and cytogenetic aberrations. Methods According to the clinical guideline and scoring system for CLL in Britain, among 77 patients, 61 patients with score 5 called typical immunophenotype CLL, 16 with score 4 or 3 were atypical immunophenotype CLL. Multiparameter flow cytometry was employed for immunophenotypic analysis in 77 CLL patients for CDS, CD19, CD23, FMC7, sIg, CD20, CD79b expression and ZAP-70 protein and CD38. IgVH mutation status was detected by multiplex RT-PCR and sequencing of the purified PCR amplification products. Fluorescence in situ hybridization ( FISH ) and a panel of probes were used to detect cytogenetic aberrations. Results There was no significant difference between the two groups in sex, age, ZAP-70 and IgVH mutation status ( P = 0. 398, P = 0. 189, P = 0.268 and P =0. 131, respectively). The incidence of ALC≥50×10^9/L, Binet B + C, CD38 ≥30% in atypical CLL patients(43.8%, 87.5% and 43.8%, respectively) were higher than that in typical group ( 16. 4%, 36.1% and 16.4%, respectively) (P =0.026, P 〈0.01 and P =0. 026, respectively). The proportion of typical patients (26.8%) with a 13q14 deletion as sole abnormality was higher than that of atypical patients (7.6%), and that with deletion of 11q22 or 17p13 was lower than that of atypical patients (12.2% vs 46.2% )(P = 0. 022). Conclusion There were obvious differences between the typical immunophenotype CLL and atypical CLL in ALC, Binet stages, CD38 expression level and cytogenetic aberrations.
