Adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL) is an uncommon highly aggressive T-cell lymphoma associated with human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) infection. It is rarely encountered during pregnancy and is particularly challenging to treat due to its aggressive nature and because of the lack of robust data on optimal chemotherapy. We report a case of a Jamaican immigrant diagnosed with ATL during pregnancy.

Abstract Anti-CD45 mediated cytoreduction is an effective means for T-cell depletion in rodents and humans. In man, the CD45-specific rat monoclonal antibodies YTH24 and YTH54 are IgG2b subclass, exert a predominantly complement-dependent cytolytic activity against normal T-lymphocytes, and have been safely given to patients as part of conditioning therapies for allogeneic stem cell transplantation. The efficacy of such antibodies against human lymphoma is unknown. Therefore, we evaluated the cytolytic activity of YTH24 and YTH54 by complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), as well as by direct apoptotic and antiproliferative effects, against a panel of Hodgkin disease (HD) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) cell lines, and against primary specimens. Significant CDC activity (>50% cytolysis) of the antibodies YTH54 and YTH24 was observed against three of five T-cell lymphoma lines, but against only one of nine B-cell lymphoma lines and none of four HD cell lines. The combination of YTH54 and YTH24 induced ADCC in all T-cell lymphoma cell lines and three primary leukemic T-cell lymphoma specimens, but were ineffective in B-cell lymphoma and HD cell lines.There were only minor effects of either antibody or the combination on lymphoma cell apoptosis or cell cycle arrest. In summary, anti-CD45 mediated CDC and ADCC via the antibodies YTH24 and YTH54 are primarily effective against lymphoma cells with T-cell phenotype, and may be an immunotherapeutic tool for the treatment of human T-cell lymphoma.

Abstract Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is often challenging to diagnose and classify. Gene expression profiling was performed on 144 cases of PTCL and natural killer cell lymphoma and robust molecular classifiers were constructed for angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive (ALK+) anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL), and adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma. PTCL-unclassifiable was molecularly heterogeneous, but we were able to identify a molecular subgroup with features of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and a poor survival compared with the remaining PTCL–not otherwise specified cases. Many of the pathologic features and substantial components of the molecular signature of AITL are contributed by the follicular dendritic cells, B-cell, and other stromal components. The expression of Th17-associated molecules in ALK+ ALCL was noted and may represent aberrant activation of Th17-cell differentiation by abnormal cytokine secretion. Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma has a homogeneous molecular signature demonstrating high expression of human T-lymphotropic virus type 1–induced genes. These classifiers reflect the biology of the tumor cells as well as their microenvironment. We also constructed a molecular prognosticator for AITL that appears to be largely related to the microenvironmental signature, and the high expression of 2 immunosuppressive signatures are associated with poor outcome. Oncogenic pathways and tumor-host interactions also were identified, and these findings may lead to better therapies and outcome in the future.
