Abstract:
:Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and c-myc p62 oncoprotein are two nuclear proteins expressed in proliferating and transformed cells. They can be recognized immunohistochemically in paraffin sections by the monoclonal antibodies PC-10 and c-myc 1-9E10, respectively. On the other hand, nucleolar organizer regions (NORs) are loops of DNA that carry the r-RNA genes and can be visualized in paraffin sections as black dots (AgNORs) using a silver impregnation method. It has been suggested that the mean number of AgNORs may reflect the cellular kinetics of a tumor. We independently examined 200 cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas using the monoclonal antibodies PC-10 and c-myc 1-9E10, as well as the AgNOR method. Our study shows a very significant correlation between PCNA, c-myc expression, and AgNOR count on the one hand and histologic grade on the other (P < .001), although a significant overlap among the three grades exists. PC-10, c-myc 1-9E10, and AgNOR scores are all shown to be linearly related, even though significant discrepancies were observed, and the correlation is stronger between PCNA and AgNORs (PCNA v c-myc p62, r = .551; PCNA v AgNORs, r = .746; c-myc p62 v AgNORs, r = .529; P < .001). A remarkable finding is that the intermediate group of lymphomas is heterogeneous as far as the proliferative rate is concerned: diffuse large cell cleaved/non-cleaved lymphomas (category G of the Working Formulation) are characterized by a significantly higher proliferative index, as evidenced by the elevated PCNA, c-myc p62, and AgNOR scores, in comparison with the other types of intermediate-grade lymphomas (P < .001). However, the proliferative rate is lower than that of the high-grade lymphomas (PCNA, P < .05; c-myc p62, P < .001; AgNORs, P < .005). No significant difference exists between B-cell and T-cell lymphomas except for the higher expression of c-myc p62 in intermediate-grade B-cell lymphomas, obviously due to the higher proliferative rate of diffuse large cell lymphomas. Based on our findings, it appears that the combination of PCNA, c-myc p62, and AgNORs provides an accurate estimate of the proliferative rate of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas in paraffin sections. Clinical studies may show whether this information has prognostic value independent of histologic classification. In addition, our results suggest that category G (diffuse large cell) lymphomas may belong to a malignancy grade higher than the intermediate grade, a suggestion consistent with their more aggressive biologic behavior.
