Abstract
SHP-1 is an important negative regulator involved in signaling through receptors for cytokine/growth factors, and differential patterns of SHP-1 expression in several types of B-cell lymphomas closely resemble the patterns seen in their normal B cell counterparts. In an effort to elucidate the origin of primary central nervous system lymphomas (PCNSL), the present study assessed 32 cases of PCNSL. Tumors were subclassified according to WHO classification and were evaluated by immunohistochemistry for expression of antigens associated with germinal center (GC) (CD10, Bcl-6) and non-GC stages (SHP-1, CD138). Twenty-nine cases showed diffuse large-cell centroblastic morphology, whereas three cases showed diffuse large-cell immunoblastic morphology. The immunophenotypes of PCNSL were as follows: SHP-1+/Bcl-6-/CD10-/CD138- (12 of 32 cases); SHP-1+/Bcl-6+/CD10-/CD138- (15 of 32 cases); SHP-1+/Bcl-6+/CD10+/CD138- (two of 32 cases); SHP-1+/Bcl-6-/CD10+/CD138- (one of 32 cases); and SHP-1-/Bcl-6-/CD10-/CD138- (two of 32 cases). These results indicate that PCNSL might be distinct lymphomas that originate from a late germinal center to an early postgerminal center.Keywords
