PG - 136-42 LID - 10.3109/10428194.2013.793324 [doi] AB - Chromosomal translocations involving the immunoglobulin loci represent frequent oncogenic events in B-cell lymphoma development. Although IRF8 (ICSBP-1) protein expression has been demonstrated in germinal center B-cells and related lymphomas in a single report, the IRF8 gene was not described as an immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) translocation partner. In a discovery-driven approach we searched for new translocation partners of IGH in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) by long distance inverse polymerase chain reaction (LDI-PCR) and Sanger sequencing. A t(14;16)(q32.33;q24.1) IGH/IRF8 was detected in a CD5+de novo DLBCL, confirmed by translocation specific PCR and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis. No further IRF8 aberration could be identified either by LDI-PCR in an additional five CD5+DLBCLs or by FISH on 78 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded biopsies. Subsequent screening for IRF8 by immunohistochemistry revealed IRF8 expression in 18/78 (23%), correlating with a germinal center B-cell-like (GCB) type of DLBCL. This hitherto unknown translocation t(14;16)(q32.33;q24.1) is likely to represent the initiator of a multistep lymphomagenesis in a CD5+de novo DLBCL.
