- Abstract
Aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas are a heterogeneous group of diseases and our concepts are evolving as we learn more about their clinical, pathologic, molecular genetic features. Session IV of the 2020 EAHP Workshop covered aggressive, predominantly high-grade B-cell lymphomas, many that were difficult to classify. In this manuscript, we summarize the features of the submitted cases and highlight differential diagnostic difficulties. We specifically review issues related to high-grade B-cell lymphomas (HGBCLs) with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements including TdT expression in these cases, HGBCL, not otherwise specified, large B-cell lymphomas with IRF4 rearrangement, high-grade/large B-cell lymphomas with 11q aberration, Burkitt lymphoma, and pleomorphic mantle cell lymphoma. Since the workshop, the 5th edition of the WHO Classification for Haematolymphoid Tumours (WHO-HAEM5) and International Consensus Classification (ICC) 2022 were published. We endeavor to use the updated terminology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Session 3 of the 2021 European Association for Haematopathology/Society for Hematopathology Workshop focused on mediastinal large B cell lymphomas and surrounding gray areas. One half of the session was dedicated to primary mediastinal large B cell lymphoma (PMBL) and included cases with classic clinicopathologic features, as well as cases with either morphologic or immunophenotypic variation, and PMBL-like cases with primary extramediastinal disease. The role of additional immunophenotyping and/or molecular testing to aid in the diagnosis of PMBL was discussed. The second half of the session focused on mediastinal and non-mediastinal gray zone lymphomas (GZL) with features intermediate between diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL). Several cases illustrating the current challenges in separating this entity from PMBL/DLBCL and CHL were presented. There was discussion regarding the clinical and genetic differences between mediastinal and non-mediastinal GZLs. Rare cases of PMBL and GZL associated with EBV or follicular lymphoma were reviewed. Finally, several cases included in the session highlighted composite or sequential CHL and PMBL/DLBCL and/or GZL, highlighting challenges in separating such cases from GZL. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Lymphomas with plasmablastic features are a heterogeneous group of aggressive and mostly uncommon neoplasms of varied aetiologies, presenting in immunocompetent individuals as well as in immunodeficiency, associated with EBV and Kaposi sarcoma virus infections, and some as progression from indolent B-cell lymphomas. They show overlapping diagnostic features and pose a differential diagnosis with other aggressive B-cell lymphomas that can downregulate the B-cell expression programme. The spectrum of rare reactive proliferations and all lymphomas defined by plasmablastic features, together with an expanding range of poorly characterised, uncommon conditions at the interface between reactive lymphoid proliferations and neoplasia submitted to the session V of the 20
th European Association for Haematopathology/Society for Hematopathology lymphoma workshop are summarised and discussed in this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) is a common vasospastic disorder that causes severe pain and ulcers, but despite its high reported heritability, no causal genes have been robustly identified. We conducted a genome-wide association study including 5,147 RP cases and 439,294 controls, based on diagnoses from electronic health records, and identified three unreported genomic regions associated with the risk of RP (p < 5 × 10
−8 ). We prioritized ADRA2A (rs7090046, odds ratio (OR) per allele: 1.26; 95%-CI: 1.20-1.31; p < 9.6 × 10−27 ) and IRX1 (rs12653958, OR: 1.17; 95%-CI: 1.12–1.22, p < 4.8 × 10−13 ) as candidate causal genes through integration of gene expression in disease relevant tissues. We further identified a likely causal detrimental effect of low fasting glucose levels on RP risk (rG = −0.21; p-value = 2.3 × 10−3 ), and systematically highlighted drug repurposing opportunities, like the antidepressant mirtazapine. Our results provide the first robust evidence for a strong genetic contribution to RP and highlight a so far underrated role of α2A -adrenoreceptor signalling, encoded at ADRA2A, as a possible mechanism for hypersensitivity to catecholamine-induced vasospasms. Raynaud's phenomenon is a common vasospastic disorder, but the genetic origins of the condition are not well understood. Here, the authors find common genetic variants associated with Raynaud's phenomenon, and find genes putatively involved in the disorder. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

- Abstract
Session 4 of the 2021 European Association of Haematopathology/Society for Hematopathology Workshop focused on nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL). First, the spectrum of immunophenotypic variations in NLPHL and the defining criteria for classic Hodgkin Lymphoma (CHL) were discussed. The added value of further immunophenotypic characterization of both tumor cells and microenvironment to support the differential diagnosis was presented. Next, unusual cases with combined growth patterns and evolution of morphological features over time were presented to explore the clinicopathological impact of presumed high-risk patterns. Based on a large collection of cases, the defining morphological, immunophenotypical, and gene expression features of T-cell/histiocyte-rich large B-cell lymphoma (THRLBCL) and THRLBCL-like NLPHL (pattern E) were reviewed to explore this challenging differential diagnosis and critically evaluate whether aggressive behavior and transformation of NLPHL can be predicted in practice.

Lymph node-infiltrating T cells have been of particular interest in classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). High rates of complete therapeutic responses to antibody-mediated immune checkpoint blockade, even in relapsed/refractory patients, suggest the existence of a T cell-dominated, antigen-experienced, functionally inhibited and lymphoma-directed immune microenvironment. We asked whether clonally expanded T cells (1) were detectable in cHL lymph nodes, (2) showed characteristic immune phenotypes, and (3) were inhibited by immune checkpoint molecule expression. We applied high-dimensional FACS index sorting and single cell T cell receptor αβ sequencing to lymph node-infiltrating T cells from 10 treatment-naïve patients. T cells were predominantly CD4
+ and showed memory differentiation. Expression of classical immune checkpoint molecules (CTLA-4, PD-1, TIM-3) was generally low (< 12.0% of T cells) and not different between CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Degrees of clonal T cell expansion varied between patients (range: 1–18 expanded clones per patient) and was almost exclusively restricted to CD8+ T cells. Clonally expanded T cells showed non-naïve phenotypes and low checkpoint molecule expression similar to non-expanded T cells. Our data suggest that the therapeutic effects of immune checkpoint blockade require mechanisms in addition to dis-inhibition of pre-existing lymphoma-directed T cell responses. Future studies on immune checkpoint blockade-associated effects will identify molecular T cell targets, address dynamic aspects of cell compositions over time, and extend their focus beyond lymph node-infiltrating T cells.

Histological sections of the lymphatic system are usually the basis of static (2D) morphological investigations. Here, we performed a dynamic (4D) analysis of human reactive lymphoid tissue using confocal fluorescent laser microscopy in combination with machine learning. Based on tracks for T-cells (CD3), B-cells (CD20), follicular T-helper cells (PD1) and optical flow of follicular dendritic cells (CD35), we put forward the first quantitative analysis of movement-related and morphological parameters within human lymphoid tissue. We identified correlations of follicular dendritic cell movement and the behavior of lymphocytes in the microenvironment. In addition, we investigated the value of movement and/or morphological parameters for a precise definition of cell types (CD clusters). CD-clusters could be determined based on movement and/or morphology. Differentiating between CD3- and CD20 positive cells is most challenging and long term-movement characteristics are indispensable. We propose morphological and movement-related prototypes of cell entities applying machine learning models. Finally, we define beyond CD clusters new subgroups within lymphocyte entities based on long term movement characteristics. In conclusion, we showed that the combination of 4D imaging and machine learning is able to define characteristics of lymphocytes not visible in 2D histology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) is a rare lymphoma of B-cell origin with frequent expression of functional B-cell receptors (BCRs). Here we report that expression cloning followed by antigen screening identifies DNA-directed RNA polymerase beta’ (RpoC) from Moraxella catarrhalis as frequent antigen of BCRs of IgD
+ LP cells. Patients show predominance of HLA-DRB1*04/07 and the IgVH genes encode extraordinarily long CDR3s. High-titer, light-chain-restricted anti-RpoC IgG1/κ-type serum-antibodies are additionally found in these patients. RpoC and MID/hag, a superantigen co-expressed by Moraxella catarrhalis that is known to activate IgD+ B cells by binding to the Fc domain of IgD, have additive activation effects on the BCR, the NF-κB pathway and the proliferation of IgD+ DEV cells expressing RpoC-specific BCRs. This suggests an additive antigenic and super-antigenic stimulation of B cells with RpoC-specific IgD+ BCRs under conditions of a permissive MHC-II haplotype as a model of NLPHL lymphomagenesis, implying future treatment strategies.

- Abstract
Nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) is a subtype of Hodgkin lymphoma that frequently shows a nodal growth pattern with abundant reactive B cells in the microenvironment. Early NLPHL cases can be particularly difficult to differentiate from progressively transformed germinal centers (PTGC). Since PTGC have been described to be IgG4 associated in a relatively high proportion of cases, the aim of the present study was to determine if IgG4 immunostaining can be helpful in the differential diagnosis between NLPHL and PTGC. We furthermore aimed to learn if LP cells can express IgG4. For this purpose, 58 cases of PTGC and 56 cases of NLPHL were assessed using IgG4 immunostaining. We could confirm that a significant number of PTGC cases showed high numbers of IgG4-positive plasma cells (22/58, 38%), whereas hot spot areas of IgG4-positive plasma cells were not found in any of the NLPHL cases. In lymph node areas with the differential diagnosis of NLPHL and PTGC, IgG4 immunostaining can therefore provide a helpful diagnostic tool to rule out NLPHL when a high number of IgG4-positive plasma cells are encountered. We also assessed 13 cases with a combination of NLPHL and PTGC in the same lymph node. Five of these cases presented hot spot areas of IgG4-positive plasma cells in the PTGC regions, while no significant numbers of IgG4-positive plasma cells were observed in the NLPHL part of the lymph node. LP cells were never IgG4 positive. Furthermore, immunoglobulin heavy chain rearrangements of single IgG4-positive plasma cells were analyzed, revealing a polyclonal plasma cell population. In summary, our data suggest that IgG4 immunostaining can provide additional information in the diagnostic workup of cases with the differential diagnosis of NLPHL and PTGC. IgG4's inefficiency in clearing antigens may explain why lymph nodes with PTGC are usually strongly enlarged and develop a high number of hyperplastic germinal centers. Polyclonal immunoglobulin heavy chain rearrangements in IgG4-positive plasma cells further support the hypothesis that PTGC represent a misled immune reaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Rhabdomyomas are rare striated muscle-type tumors arising in the heart or in soft tissues. Using a monoclonal antibody specific for the cardiac isoform of α-actin (α-cardiac actin, α-CAA), differential expression patterns in striated muscle tissues were reported previously. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether the α-actin isoform specificity is maintained in rhabdomyomas according to their origin, comparing extracardiac to cardiac rhabdomyomas. We immunohistochemically investigated adult extracardiac (pharyngeal) rhabdomyomas (n = 4) and cardiac rhabdomyomas (n = 7) employing isoform-specific monoclonal antibodies. The extracardiac rhabdomyomas revealed only a few scattered α-CAA-positive tumor cells (antibody cAc1-20.42) while the cardiac rhabdomyomas exhibited abundant expression of α-CAA, indicating a close relatedness to cardiac muscle fibers. The α-skeletal actin (α-SKA) specific monoclonal antibody (3B3) produced the reverse results. General sarcomeric antibodies (HHF35 and Alpha Sr-1) displayed strong positivity in all rhabdomyomas studied. Alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) was negative or heterogeneously positive in extracardiac and cardiac rhabdomyomas. Our results suggest that despite similar morphology, the intrinsic differential alpha-actin isoform specificity of mature skeletal vs. cardiac muscle is maintained in extracardiac and cardiac rhabdomyomas. Thus, adult extracardiac rhabdomyomas differentiate towards mature skeletal muscle although they may exhibit centrally placed nuclei like cardiac muscle cells, while cardiac rhabdomyomas reflect true cardiac muscle differentiation. Our findings appear to indicate a different biological nature of cardiac and extracardiac rhabdomyomas, probably related to a different cell of origin. To our knowledge, this is the first report suggesting a derivation of extracardiac and cardiac rhabdomyomas from skeletal and cardiac muscle cells, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Although down-regulation of GNG7 in cancer was reported before, its role in carcinogenesis is poorly understood. It belongs to a family of large G-proteins that may be involved in cell-contact-induced growth arrest and function in tumor suppression. In the present study, we stained immunohistochemically 188 tumors derived from larynx or floor of the mouth for GNG7 protein and confronted it with clinicopathologic data. Moreover, we performed bisulfite pyrosequencing to analyze GNG7 promoter methylation. We identified recurrent loss of GNG7 protein expression in 68/188 (36%) cases and promoter hypermethylation in (42/98; 43%) primary tumors, predominantly in young patients (p < 0.001). Loss of GNG7 expression correlated with hypermethylation of GNG7 promoter region (p < 0.001). Moreover, loss of GNG7 protein expression correlated with tumor size (p = 0.012) and lack of cervical metastasis (p = 0.02) whereas sustained expression correlated with keratinization (p = 0.008). Taken together, loss of GNG7 protein expression is a frequent event in head and neck cancer. Moreover, our data suggest that hypermethylation of the promoter region of GNG7 is probably the mechanism of the observed inactivation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
