Abstract
Objective: To investigate the IGHV mutational status and its differences from Caucasian in splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL). Methods: A retrospective study on 40 SMZL cases were performed to detect the V-D-J sequence of IGHV by plasmid cloning sequencing, comparing the data with the most homologous germ line V sequence in database, identifying the stereotype of patients through cluster analysis and alignment. The clinical and laboratory characteristics were compared between the patients with IGHV mutation and without mutations. Results: In SMZL patients, the proportion of IGHV mutations was 75%, consistent with data from Caucasian. In V region, the usage of V3-23 subtype was lower in Chinese patients compared with Caucasian (2.6% vs 18.0%, P=0.006), whereas the V2-70 subtype was used with high proportion (10.3% vs 0.8%, P=0.002). In D region, the D2-21 and D6-13 gene were used frequently (17.9% vs 2.3%, P<0.001; 12.8% vs 3.8%, P=0.046). One new stereotype was found, and the SMZL-biased V1-2 gene was mostly used (25.6%). The levels of IgG and IgA were significantly increased in IGHV without mutations as compared with mutations [10.70 (5.28-15.50) g/L vs 12.90 (7.71-23.50) g/L, 1.06 (0.21-3.13) g/L vs 1.66 (0.81-2.93) g/L, P=0.038, 0.040]. The only two 17p deletion patients were IGHV without mutaions. The progression free survival (PFS) was significantly prolonged in IGHV mutations (P=0.009), and there was no significant difference regarding to the overall survival between the two subgroups (P=0.430). Conclusion: The proportion of IGHV mutaions was similar to the data in Caucasian. There was disparity in the usage of V and D regions between Chinese and Caucasian, and the SMZL-biased V1-2 gene were used more frequently in Chinese patients. One new stereotype was identified. In the IGHV without mutations group, the levels of IgG and IgA were significantly increased.

B细胞受体(B-cell receptors,BCR)通路的活化是B细胞肿瘤发生和克隆演变的始动因素。尽管不同B细胞肿瘤其生物学行为及临床经过具有异质性,但其中大部分疾病对BCR信号通路相关的激酶抑制剂均有很好的反应性,因而针对抑制BCR通路的靶向治疗是B细胞肿瘤患者所遵从的一种治疗模式。BCR是膜结合的免疫球蛋白,后者包括重链和轻链,二者均由可变区和恒定区构成。免疫球蛋白通过可变区来识别和结合抗原,通过恒定区来启动下游效应。免疫球蛋白可变区的多样性是其特异性识别抗原的结构基础。有研究者对免疫球蛋白重链可变区(IGHV)序列进行研究,发现某些慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)患者的BCR具有高度同源性,称为典型模式(stereotyped)[1]。已有研究证实,IGHV基因的突变状态与CLL患者的预后相关[2]。对脾边缘区淋巴瘤(splenic marginal zone lymphoma,SMZL)患者IGHV基因突变状态的研究目前国内尚未见报道。由于东西方人群遗传因素、环境因素等不同,研究不同疾病背景下典型模式的差异有助于我们更深入的理解SMZL的细胞起源及发病机制。本研究旨在探讨SMZL患者IGHV突变状态及典型模式的分布情况,并与国外报道的数据[3]进行对比,探讨其与西方国家的异同。
