AbstractLymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) of the lung is a recently recognized primary non-small cell lung carcinoma with distinct clinicopathological features and an aetiological association with Epstein- Barr virus (EBV) infection. The tumour consists of clusters and sheets of poorly or undifferentiated tumour cells in close association with numerous mononuclear inflammatory cells, including a rich component of tumour- associated macrophages (TAMs). To investigate the molecular mechanism leading to the TAM-rich stroma, the expression of a monocyte-specific chemotactic and activating factor, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), was studied by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and in situ hybridization (ISH), and the presence of TAMs was demonstrated by immunohistochemistry in nine LELCs. The results were compared with those found in 17 conventional non-small cell lung carcinomas. RT-PCR showed specific MCP-1 amplification in both LELCs and non-LELCs, but ISH demonstrated a unique and extensive expression of MCP-1 transcripts by the tumour cells of LELCs only, while TAMs, stromal fibroblasts, and endothelial cells formed the major source of MCP-1 in non-LELCs. TAMs in LELCs were more abundant and showed a close topographical relationship with the MCP-1- expressing tumour cells. The results indicate that tumour cell expression of MCP-1 in LELCs is an important mechanism contributing to their distinctive morphological features. This is the first study that demonstrates the in vivo upregulation of a monocyte-specific chemokine by EBV-related carcinomas, illustrating an interesting aspect of tumour biology in EBV-related neoplasms.
