AbstractThe cellular nature of nasal T/natural killer (NK)-cell lymphomas (NLs) remains controversial. It is still debatable whether these represent T-cell lymphomas with extensive loss of surface antigens or are, in fact, true NK- cell lymphomas. They are associated closely with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), to the extent that EBV-encoded small non-polyadenylated RNAs (EBER) expression can be used as a marker for the neoplastic cells. The cell lineage of this group of lymphomas was examined further by correlating immunophenotype, genotype and EBV status with the expression of cytotoxic granule-associated proteins, perforin and T-cell intracellular antigen-1 (TIA-1) in 13 cases of NL. Combined immunophenotypic and gene rearrangement analyses demonstrated that NLs can be identified clearly as either NK-cell or T-cell tumours. Nasal NK-cell lymphomas lacked clonal rearrangement of both T-cell receptor (TCR) γ and immunogloulin heavy chain (IgH) genes and were either CD3(Leu4)- CD56+ (8 cases) or CD3(Leu4)+CD56+ (2 cases), whereas nasal T-cell lymphomas had rearranged TCRγ and germ-line IgH genes and were either CD3(Leu4)+CD56+ (2 cases) or CD3(Leu4)+CD56- (I case). Immunohistochemical (IH) studies showed that both perforin and TIA-I were expressed universally in NL, irrespective of NK- or T-cell lineage. Dual labelling of TIA-I by IH and EBER by in situ hybridisation demonstrated that the granule proteins were expressed predominantly by the EBER+ tumour cells. Our results indicate that NLs are derived from EBV-infected cytotoxic lymphocytes of both NK- and T-cell lineage. We postulate that cytotoxic lymphocytes generated during the cellular immune response to EBV infection or re-activation at the nasal region themselves may become targets for EBV infection and subsequent transformation.
