Overview
Waldenström macroglobulinemia is an uncontrolled clonal proliferation of terminally differentiated B lymphocytes (plasma cells), which are normally involved in humoral immunity. Genes involved in the pathogenesis of Waldenström macroglobulinemia include MYD88-L265P, and CXCR4.
Pathophysiology
- Waldenström macroglobulinemia arises from terminally differentiated B lymphocytes, which are normally involved in humoral immunity.
- It is understood that Waldenström macroglobulinemia is mediated by 2 major factors:
- The secretion of IgM paraprotein
- Causes symptoms of hyperviscosity syndrome
- The infiltration of tissues with neoplastic lymphoplasmacytic cells
- Mainly the bone marrow, spleen,and lymph nodes
- Sometimes the liver, gastrointestinal tract, lungs, kidneys, skin, eyes, and central nervous system
- The secretion of IgM paraprotein
Genetics
- The exact pathogenesis of Waldenström macroglobulinemia is not completely understood; however, its familial pattern of involvement supports the role played by genetic factors in the pathogenesis of this disease.[1][2]
- Development of Waldenström macroglobulinemia is the result of multiple genetic mutations.[3]
- Somatic mutations as well as chromosomal abnormalities play a part in the pathogenesis of this disease:
- A mutation of the MYD88 gene (L265P) has been found in more than 90% of patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia, while it has rarely presented in patients with other types of mature B-cell tumors.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
- MYD88: The activating point mutation of MYD88 augments growth and survival of both normal and neoplastic B cells by preventing apoptosis. Point mutation of MYD88 leads to leucine to proline substitution in codon 265 (L265P) of MYD88 and produces constantly overactive protein causing proliferation of malignant cells that should normally undergo apoptosis.
- Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance patients found to have MYD88 L265P mutation have significantly higher risk of progression to Waldenström macroglobulinemia or to other lymphoproliferative disorders.
- Less commonly (30-35%), nonsense or frameshift mutations in the C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) 5338X gene have also been reported in patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia.[12]
- Patients with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia with co-existing mutation of MYD88 & CXCR4 are more likely to have hyper-viscosity syndrome and bone marrow involvement.[3]
- Somatic hypermutation in IGHV/IG gene rearrangement.[13]
- ARIDA mutations.
- A mutation of the MYD88 gene (L265P) has been found in more than 90% of patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia, while it has rarely presented in patients with other types of mature B-cell tumors.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
Cytogenetics
- Many cytogenetic abnormalities were reported in Waldenström macroglobulinemia patients including:
- Deletion (genetics) of the long arm of chromosome 6q21-22.1 (most common,50%).[14]
- Deletion of long arm of chromosome 20.
- t(9;14)(p13;q32)(50%).[13]
- Trisomy 4(20%).[13]
- Trisomy 5.
- Monosomy 8.[15]
- Deletions of regions of 13q14 that include MIRN15A and MIRN16-1.[16]
- t(11;18)(q21;q21) involving API-malt1.[16]
Epigenetics
- Three most common epigenetic causes are DNA methylation, histone acetylation, and non-coding RNAs such as miRNAs.[17]
- Up-regulation of miRNAs 155, 184, 206, 363, 494, and 542-3p occurs in Waldenström macroglobulinemia; among which miRNA-155 has a crucial role in tumor cell growth and proliferation in Waldenström macroglobulinemia.
- Gene transcription through histone acetylation occurs following increased expression of miRNA-206 and reduced expression of miRNA-9.
Associated Conditions
Several studies showed an increased incidence of following second cancers in patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia:[18]
- Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
- Myelodysplastic syndrome/Acute myeloid leukemia
- Brain tumor
- Renal MALT lymphoma [19]
Microscopic Pathology
WM/LPL is a form of an indolent (slowly growing) non-hodgkin lymphoma. LPL is called so because the lymphoma cells have the characteristics of both lymphocytes and plasma cells. After a detailed clinicopathological assessment and review of the published literature, the following diagnostic criteria was proposed for WM:[20]
- IgM monoclonal gammopathy of any concentration.
- Bone marrow infiltration by:[21][22][23]
- Small lymphocytes with clumped chromatin, inconspicuous nucleoli, and sparse cytoplasm.
- Well-formed plasma cells.
- Plasmacytoid lymphocytes (have cytologic features intermediate between above 2 extremes), in following patterns:[24][25]
- Diffuse.
- Interstitial.
- Nodular.
- Paratrabecular.
- Nodular-interstitial.
- Mixed paratrabacular-nodular.
- WM has two histologic subtypes:[25]
- Lymphoplasmacytoid (73%).
- Lymphoplasmacytic (27%).
- Following lymphoid organs are involved in WM:
- Bone marrow.
- Lymph nodes(nodal involvement is characterized by paracortical and hilar infiltration with frequent sparing of the subscapular and marginal sinuses).
- Spleen.
- The cytologic composition and the degree of plasmacytic differentiation varies from case to case.
- The bone marrow contains variable numbers of pleomorphic lymphoid cells.
- Dutcher bodies may be seen in plasma cells, as intracytoplasmic inclusions positive for periodic acid Schiff.
- Mast cell hyperplasia is common and may stimulate tumor cell proliferation and monoclonal IgM secretion.
- Gene expression profiling has indicated that lymphoid cells of WM more closely resemble those of chronic lymphocytic leukemia than those of myeloma.[26]
Immunohistochemistry
Malignant cells in Waldenström macroglobulinemia have following immunophenotypic characteristics:[23] [3]
- Express pan B-cell antigens surface with following immunophenotype:[27][28][20]
- Variable expression of:
- Following aren't expressed:
- IgM positive (mostly).
- IgG positive (few).
- IgA (rare).
- IgD negative (lack).
