Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (H/RS) cells show B-cell differentiation immunophenotypes, primarily late germinal center (GC) or post-GC. A subset exhibits indeterminate profiles, suggesting incomplete or ongoing differentiation.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Immunology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) is a malignancy of lymphocytes.
  • Understanding the cellular origin and differentiation pathway of Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (H/RS) cells is crucial for elucidating cHL pathogenesis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the B-cell differentiation immunophenotypes of H/RS cells in cHL.
  • To investigate the histogenesis of cHL by characterizing H/RS cell differentiation markers (bcl6, CD10, MUM1, CD138).

Main Methods:

  • Immunohistochemical analysis of bcl6, CD10, MUM1, and CD138 expression on H/RS cells.
  • Classification of 101 cHL cases into distinct immunophenotypic groups based on marker expression.

Main Results:

  • Three major immunophenotypes were identified: late germinal center (GC)/early post-GC (59%), post-GC (24%), and indeterminate (18%).
  • Most cHL cases showed immunophenotypes consistent with late GC/early post-GC or post-GC B-cell differentiation.
  • The indeterminate group displayed mixed expression patterns not seen in normal B-cells, suggesting aberrant differentiation.

    • Conclusions:

    • H/RS cells in most cHL cases originate from late GC or post-GC B-cells.
    • A subset of cHL cases exhibits indeterminate immunophenotypes, indicating incomplete or ongoing differentiation of H/RS cells.
    • These findings contribute to understanding the complex B-cell differentiation pathways in classical Hodgkin lymphoma.
