Abstract

Primary cutaneous CD30 (Ki-1)+ large cell lymphoma (KiL) and lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) type A are collectively termed as primary cutaneous CD30-positive lymphoproliferative disorders. We examined the cytokine profile of skin-infiltrating cells and the therapeutic efficacy of recombinant interferon-gamma (rIFN-gamma) in primary cutaneous KiL and LyP type A. By reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, mRNAs for interleukin-4 (IL-4) and IL-10 were detected in the dermis of skin lesions in all cases (three cases of KiL and four cases of LyP). In addition, tissue from one KiL patient transcribed IL-2 and IFN-gamma messages, and one LyP patient showed IL-2 mRNA. In contrast, normal skin from ten healthy donors contained mRNA for IL-2 or IFN-gamma, or both, but not for IL-4. Before the therapeutic trial of rIFN-gamma, the response of skin lesions was assessed by a predictive skin test with local injection of rIFN-gamma (0.5 x 10(6) Japan Reference Units [JRU; 1 JRU roughly corresponds to 4 NIH units]) for 3 consecutive days in two KiL and two LyP patients. Numbers of skin-infiltrating CD30+ cells were decreased, and transcription of mRNA for IL-4 and IL-10 was downregulated after the skin test in one KiL and two LyP cases. ...Continue Reading

B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.
