Knowledge of the role of cell-cycle regulators in the pathogenesis of
acquired immune deficiency syndrome-related non-Hodgkin's lymphomas
(AIDS-NHLs) is scarce. Here we analyzed 86 systemic AIDS-NHLs and 20
AIDS-primary central nervous system lymphomas for expression of
p27(Kip1), a negative regulator of cell-cycle progression belonging to
the Kip family of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors. In parallel, we
investigated the relationship between p27(Kip1), the lymphoma
proliferation index, Epstein-Barr virus status, expression of cellular
cyclin D3 and cyclin D1, and B-cell differentiation stage. We report
that AIDS-immunoblastic lymphomas (AIDS-IBLs), either systemic or
primarily localized to the central nervous system, consistently express
p27(Kip1) protein (19 of 24 and 10 of 14, respectively) despite the high
proliferative rate of the lymphoma clone, suggesting a failure of
p27(Kip1) to inhibit the cell cycle in AIDS-IBL. Conversely, the
remaining systemic AIDS-NHLs and AIDS-primary central nervous system
lymphomas preferentially fail to express p27(Kip1). Expression of
p27(Kip1) in Epstein-Barr virus-positive AIDS-NHLs generally associates
with latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) expression and is related to a
late stage of B-cell differentiation, characterized by the
BCL-6-/MUM1+/syn-1+/- phenotypic profile, whereas it seems to be
unrelated to the expression of cellular cyclins. In B cells in vitro,
induction of LMP-1 expression under the control of inducible promoters
up-regulates expression of p27(Kip1), thus providing a putative
mechanistic explanation for the association between LMP1 and p27(Kip1)
observed in vivo. Overall, these data show that AIDS-IBL pathogenesis is
characterized by loss of the inverse relationship between p27(Kip1)
positivity and tumor growth fraction that is otherwise generally
observed in normal lymphoid tissues and in most other types of NHLs.

Hepatitis C virus-Epstein-Barr virus interaction in patients with AIDS.

Immortalization of B cells by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and their
subsequent proliferation leads to B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in
immunocompromised patients. The role of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in
B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has recently been raised, and an
interaction between HCV and EBV is supported by recent in vitro
experiments. The aim of this study was to investigate in vivo
interactions between HCV and EBV in patients with AIDS, i.e., patients
exposed to the risk of EBV-related B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. A
total of 135 patients were prospectively studied. Serological and
molecular markers of HCV, EBV, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
infection were sought. All the patients harbored latent EBV infection,
and 20% had detectable HCV RNA in serum. No significant relationship was
found between HIV, HCV, and EBV viral load in peripheral blood
mononuclear cells or plasma. There was no difference between
anti-HCV-positive and -negative patients or between HCV RNA-positive and
-negative patients with regard to the prevalence of EBV markers,
especially EBV replication markers. The presence of EBV replication
markers was not related to HCV RNA seropositivity or to HCV viral load.
Five patients subsequently developed B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, none
of whom had markers of EBV or HCV replication. These results argue
against an in vivo interaction between HCV and EBV in patients with
AIDS, and against a role of HCV infection in the occurrence of B-cell
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in these patients. Copyright 2002 Wiley-Liss,

Trends in Kaposi's sarcoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma incidence in the
United States from 1973 through 1998.

BACKGROUND: The incidence of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) and non-Hodgkin's
lymphoma (NHL) in the general population has markedly increased since
the onset of the AIDS epidemic in 1981. However, during the 1990s, the
dynamics of the AIDS epidemic changed, as human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV) infection rates slowed and effective antiretroviral therapies were
introduced. We examined the impact of these changes on the general
population incidence of KS and NHL. METHODS: Age-standardized incidences
for KS and NHL from 1973 through 1998 were obtained from nine
population-based cancer registries that participate in the Surveillance,
Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program. RESULTS: During the
mid-1990s, KS incidence declined sharply in all nine registries.
Decreases in KS incidence were most evident in San Francisco, where KS
rates among white men had risen from 0.5 per 100 000 people per year in
1973 to between 31.1 and 33.3 from 1987 through 1991 and then declined
to 2.8 in 1998. With background NHL incidence in the general population
being much higher than that for KS, changes in incidence related to the
AIDS epidemic were most evident in subgroups at high risk of AIDS. In
San Francisco, NHL rates among white men rose from 10.7 in 1973 to a
peak of 31.4 in 1995 and then declined to 21.6 in 1998. NHL types that
were most highly AIDS-associated declined most steeply, whereas the
incidence of NHL types not associated with AIDS was either stable or
increasing. CONCLUSION: Changes in KS and NHL incidence since the mid
1990s may reflect declines in the number of individuals with AIDS and
improved immune function in such individuals following the introduction
of effective antiretroviral therapies in the 1990s. Notably,
non-AIDS-associated NHL incidence has continued to increase steadily
through 1998.
