Abstract
Objective Patients with Sjӧgren's syndrome (SS) have an increased risk of developing malignant B cell lymphomas, particularly mucosa‐associated lymphoid tissue (MALT)–type lymphomas. We have previously shown that a predominant proportion of patients with SS‐associated salivary gland MALT lymphoma express somatically hypermutated IgM with strong amino acid sequence homology with stereotypic rheumatoid factors (RFs). The present study was undertaken in a larger cohort of patients with SS‐associated MALT lymphoma to more firmly assess the frequency of RF reactivity and the significance of somatic IGV‐region mutations for RF reactivity. Methods B cell antigen receptors (BCRs) of 16 patients with SS‐associated salivary gland MALT lymphoma were analyzed. Soluble recombinant IgM was produced of 12 MALT lymphoma samples, including 1 MALT lymphoma sample that expressed an IgM antibody fitting in a novel IGHV3‐30–encoded stereotypic IGHV subset. For 4 of the 12 IgM antibodies from MALT lymphoma samples, the somatically mutated IGHV and IGKV gene sequences were reverted to germline configurations. Their RF activity and binding affinity were determined by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay and surface plasmon resonance, respectively. Results Nine (75%) of the 12 IgM antibodies identified in patients with SS‐associated salivary gland MALT lymphoma displayed strong monoreactive RF activity. Reversion of the IGHV and IGKV mutations to germline configuration resulted in RF affinities for IgG that were significantly lower for 3 of the 4 somatically mutated IgM antibodies. In stereotypic IGHV3‐7/IGKV3‐15–encoded RFs, a recurrent replacement mutation in the IGKV3‐15–third complementarity‐determining region was found to play a pivotal role in the affinity for IgG‐Fc. Conclusion A majority of patients with SS‐associated salivary gland MALT lymphoma express somatically mutated BCRs that are selected for monoreactive, high‐affinity binding of IgG‐Fc. These data underscore the notion that soluble IgG, most likely in immune complexes in inflamed tissues, is the principal autoantigen in the pathogenesis of a variety of B cell lymphomas, particularly SS‐associated MALT lymphomas.

Abstract
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is an indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma able to transform into germinal center-type diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. We describe four extraordinary cases of FL, which progressed to TdT+CD20- precursor B-lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LBL). Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis showed that all four B-LBLs had acquired a MYC translocation on transformation. Comparative genomic hybridization analysis of one case demonstrated that in addition to 26 numerical aberrations that were shared between the FL and B-LBL, deletion of CDKN2A/B and 17q11, 14q32 amplification, and copy-neutral loss of heterozygosity of 9p were gained in the B-LBL cells. Whole-exome sequencing revealed mutations in FMN2, NEB, and SYNE1 and a nonsense mutation in KMT2D, all shared by the FL and B-LBL, and TNFRSF14, SMARCA2, CCND3 mutations uniquely present in the B-LBL. Remarkably, all four FL-B-LBL pairs expressed IgG. In two B-LBLs, evidence was obtained for ongoing rearrangement of IG light chain variable genes and expression of the surrogate light chain. IGHV mutation analysis showed that all FL-B-LBL pairs harbored identical or near-identical somatic mutations. From the somatic gene alterations found in the IG and non-IG genes, we conclude that the FLs and B-LBLs did not develop in parallel from early t(14;18)-positive IG-unmutated precursors, but that the B-LBLs developed from preexistent FL subclones that accumulated additional genetic damage.

Abstract
To reveal migration trails of antigen-responsive B cells in lymphoid tissue, we analyzed immunoglobulin (Ig)M-VH and IgG-VH transcripts of germinal center (GC) samples microdissected from three reactive human lymph nodes. Single B cell clones were found in multiple GCs, one clone even in as many as 19 GCs. In several GCs, IgM and IgG variants of the same clonal origin were identified. The offspring of individual hypermutated IgG memory clones were traced in multiple GCs, indicating repeated engagement of memory B cells in GC reactions. These findings imply that recurring somatic hypermutation progressively drives the Ig repertoire of memory B cells to higher affinities and infer that transforming genetic hits in non-Ig genes during lymphomagenesis do not have to arise during a single GC passage, but can be collected during successive recall responses.

Abstract
Background—
Arteriogenesis refers to the development of collateral conductance arteries and is orchestrated by circulating monocytes, which invade growing collateral arteries and act as suppliers of cytokines and growth factors. CD44 glycoproteins are involved in leukocyte extravasation but also in the regulation of growth factor activation, stability, and signaling. Here, we explored the role of CD44 during arteriogenesis.
Methods and Results—
CD44 expression increases strongly during collateral artery growth in a murine hind-limb model of arteriogenesis. This CD44 expression is of great functional importance, because arteriogenesis is severely impaired in CD44
−/−
mice (wild-type, 54.5±14.9% versus CD44
−/−
, 24.1±9.2%,
P
<0.001). The defective arteriogenesis is accompanied by reduced leukocyte trafficking to sites of collateral artery growth (wild-type, 29±12% versus CD44
−/−
, 18±7% CD11b-positive cells/square,
P
<0.01) and reduced expression of fibroblast growth factor-2 and platelet-derived growth factor-B protein. Finally, in patients with single-vessel coronary artery disease, the maximal expression of CD44 on activated monocytes is reduced in case of impaired collateral artery formation (poor collateralization, 1764±572 versus good collateralization, 2817±1029 AU,
P
<0.05).
Conclusions—
For the first time, the pivotal role of CD44 during arteriogenesis is shown. The expression of CD44 increases during arteriogenesis, and the deficiency of CD44 severely impedes arteriogenesis. Maximal CD44 expression on isolated monocytes is decreased in patients with a poor collateralization compared with patients with a good collateralization.

Abstract
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have chemopreventive potential against colorectal carcinomas (CRCs). Inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 underlies part of this effect, although COX-2-independent mechanisms may also exist. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs appear to inhibit the initial stages of the adenoma-carcinoma sequence, suggesting a link to the APC/beta-catenin/TCF pathway (Wnt-signalling pathway). Therefore, the effect of the NSAID sulindac on nuclear (nonphosphorylated) beta-catenin and beta-catenin/TCF-mediated transcription was investigated. Nuclear beta-catenin expression was assessed in pretreatment colorectal adenomas and in adenomas after treatment with sulindac from five patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Also, the effect of sulindac sulphide on beta-catenin/TCF-mediated transcription was studied. Adenomas of FAP patients collected after treatment with sulindac for up to 6 months showed less nuclear beta-catenin expression compared to pretreatment adenomas of the same patients. Sulindac sulphide abrogated beta-catenin/TCF-mediated transcription in the CRC cell lines DLD1 and SW480, and decreased the levels of nonphosphorylated beta-catenin. As a result, the protein levels of the positively regulated TCF targets Met and cyclin D1 were downregulated after sulindac treatment. This study provides in vivo and in vitro evidence that nuclear beta-catenin localisation and beta-catenin/TCF-regulated transcription of target genes can be inhibited by sulindac. The inhibition of Wnt-signalling provides an explanation for the COX-2-independent mechanism of chemoprevention by NSAIDs.
