Nasopharyngeal carcinoma and lymphoinfiltration.

Abstract:

:Originally referred to as 'lymphoepithelioma', undifferentiated and poorly differentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) tissues showed intense lymphoinfiltration. In a study of cryosections from 15 NPC tissues, we found that infiltrating lymphoid elements were comprised predominantly of lymphocytes, but plasma cells, follicular dendritic cells, and eosinophils were also commonly seen. Subpopulations of lymphocytes having the same phenotypes tend to aggregate, forming clusters or secondary follicles in stromatous tissues. The tumor areas were mainly infiltrated by T cells. Tumor cells and/or apparently normal epithelium in the paratumorous areas frequently expressed CD21, CD23, CD40 and a B lymphocytes carcinoma cross-reacting antigen (BLCa), all of which are involved in B cell activation and proliferation. CD21 and BLCa were strongly expressed near the surface of both squamous and columnar epithelium by those epithelial cells which are at advanced stage of differentiation, while CD40 was expressed by epithelial cells at earlier stages of differentiation located at or near the basement membrane. CD23 was mainly expressed by columnar cells and basal cells underlying squamous epithelium, but not, or weakly so, by flattened squamous cells or reserve cells underlying columnar epithelium. The large majority of tumor cells expressed CD40 and BLCa. A substantial proportion of them also expressed CD23, but the tumor cells were not reactive for CD21. Despite eosinophilic infiltration, IL-6 was not detected in tumor tissues. IL-1 was, however, detected in abundance in the cytoplasm of follicular dendritic-like cells and in the intercellular spaces in tumor areas and surrounding stromatous tissues. The immunobiology of NPC is discussed in the light of these observations.
