The diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is particularly important for clinical management because of a remarkable prognostic difference between MCL and other types of B-cell lymphoma. In addition to immunohistochemical analysis, we have established a 5' exonuclease-based real-time reverse transcriptase-mediated quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RQ-PCR) method to detect cyclin D1 overexpression for the diagnosis of MCL. The RQ-PCR could detect cyclin D1 overexpression in all nine examined MCL cases, in contrast genomic PCR detected t(11;14) in only two of nine cases. By RQ-PCR the expression of G6PDH was significantly higher in myeloid leukemias than those in B-cell lymphomas (P = 0.018). As a result, cyclin D1/G6PDH ratio ranged from 0.78 to 12.4 (mean, 1.83) in MCL, exclusively higher than those in other B-cell lymphoma (0.00009 ~ 0.16) and myeloid leukemia (0.00011 ~ 0.085). The high expression of cyclin D1 in certain myeloid leukemias was identified to reflect their proliferative activity and not to represent the oncogenic overexpression. The 95% confidence interval of the cyclin D1/G6PDH ratio was 0.29 ~ 11.1 for MCL, 0.014 ~ 0.25 for other B-cell lymphomas and 0.000014 ~ 0.083 for myeloid leukemia, suggesting that a cutoff value can be set at 0.25. The RQ-PCR of cyclin D1 is convenient and especially useful for the diagnosis of MCL.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a distinct entity of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma with characteristic clinicopathological and molecular-genetic features and poor prognosis.1 Cyclin D1 overexpression as a result of t(11;14)(q13;q32) translocation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of MCL.1 We recently clarified that the overexpression of cyclin D1 plays a key role in the diagnosis of MCL, especially in the differential diagnosis from MCL-like low-grade B-cell lymphoma.2 However, the overexpression of cyclin D1 has not yet been included in the diagnostic criteria of MCL in the World Health Organization classification,3 which might be caused by some technical problems for immunohistochemistry. Cyclin D1 overexpression at the mRNA level can be detected by Northern blotting4 or by reverse transcriptase-mediated polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), but Northern blotting is sometimes hampered by RNA degradation in the specimens and by complicated procedures. The RT-PCR assay is likely to amplify faint physiological cyclin D1 derived from nonoverexpressing lymphomas or contaminating normal cells,5 thus necessitating special techniques such as competitive6 or quantitative PCR.7 However, these techniques require modifications after PCR and can be complicated and time consuming, so that these methods are currently not considered convenient for routine diagnostic use.8 This prompted us to investigate a simple, clear, reliable, and reproducible procedure. In this report, we describe a real-time reverse transcriptase-mediated quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RQ-PCR) detection method of cyclin D1 overexpression for the diagnosis of MCL.

Patient Samples

A total of 37 biopsy lymph node samples that were snap-frozen and stored were used in this study. They consisted of 9 MCLs, 3 MCL-like low-grade B-cell lymphomas, 10 diffuse large B-cell lymphomas, 10 follicular lymphomas, and 5 reactive lymphadenitis. Because of occasional cyclin D1 expression in myeloid leukemia,4,6 frozen bone marrow cells from acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients were also included. Diagnostic immunohistochemistry for cyclin D1 overexpression in B-cell lymphomas was performed as previously described.2 The patient materials were used with the informed consent and approval by the institutional review board of the Aichi Cancer Center.

Cell Lines

Cell lines used in this study were SP-49,9 SUDHL-4,10 SUDHL-610 (B-cell lymphoma), HL-60,11 MEG-01,12 Kasumi-1,13 NKM-1,14 NOMO-1,15 ME-1R,16 IMS-M1,17 HEL,18 CMK,19 K562,20 U93721 (myeloid leukemia), AST-1,22 and Hut10223 (T-cell lymphoma). SP-49, HL-60, MEG-01, Kasumi-1, NKM-1, NOMO-1, ME-1R, IMS-M1, and AST-1 overexpressed cyclin D1 by Northern blotting.4

Northern Blotting and Real-Time RT-PCR

Total RNA was extracted from the patient samples, as well as from 16 leukemia/lymphoma cell lines, and Northern blotting was performed as described previously.4

The real-time quantitative cyclin D1 assay was performed in a PRISM 7700 Sequence Detector (Applied Biosystems Japan, Tokyo, Japan). cDNA transcribed from 100 ng of total RNA was mixed with 0.5 µmol/L cyclin D1 primers and 0.2 µmol/L TaqMan probe labeled with 5'-FAM (6-carboxy fluorescein) and 3'-TAMRA (6-carboxy-tetramethyl rhodamine), and was amplified in a 25 µl volume using the TaqMan PCR core reagents kit (Applied Biosystems Japan). Samples were amplified with a precycling hold at 95°C for 10 minutes, followed by 45 cycles of denaturation at 95°C for 15 seconds, annealing at 60°C for 30 seconds, and extension at 72°C for 30 seconds. The primers used were 5'-ACAAACAGATCATCCGCAAACAC-3' (sense) and 3'-TGTTGGGGCTCCTCAGGTTC-5' (anti-sense), and the TaqMan probe was 5'-FAM-ACATCTGTGGCACAGAGGGCAACG-TAMRA-3'. The copy number of cyclin D1 in each sample was calculated with a standard curve generated from serially diluted (100 to 107 copies) plasmids containing cyclin D1 cDNA.

For external control, the glucose-6-phospate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) gene was amplified using oligonucleotides 5'-CATGGTGCTGAGATTTGCCAAC-3' (sense) and 5'-TCAACACCTTGACCTTCTCATCAC-3' (anti-sense), and was analyzed with 5'-FAM-ATCCGGGACGTGATGCAGAACCACCTAC-TAMRA-3' TaqMan probe under the same conditions as that for cyclin D1. The amplification was duplicated for each sample and the mean values were used to calculate cyclin D1/G6PDH ratio.

Genomic PCR for the Detection of t(11;14)

Genomic PCR was performed as previously described24 with some modifications. DNA amplification was performed with a hold at 94°C for 3 minutes, followed by 35 cycles of denaturation at 94°C for 1 minute, followed by annealing at 66°C for 2 minutes, and extension at 72°C for 1 minute. PCR products were electrophoresed on 2% agarose gels, transferred to a nylon membrane (Hybond-N; Amersham-Japan, Tokyo, Japan) and hybridized with a [{gamma}-32P]ATP-labeled MCL-2 oligonucleotide.

For the control of genomic PCR, a variable region of the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene was amplified with FR2A, LJH, and VLJH primers as previously described.25

Statistical Analysis

The Mann-Whitney test and the Kruskal-Wallis test were performed to examine the difference of results by disease subtypes. The Smirnov’s test was used to identify an extreme data. Data were analyzed with the Microsoft Excel 97 (Microsoft-Japan, Tokyo, Japan) and Statcel softwares (OMS, Tokorozawa, Japan).

Quantitative Cyclin D1 Expression

The real-time RT-PCR amplification of the serially diluted cyclin D1 plasmid controls showed a logarithmic signal increase (Figure 1A) . The standard curve was generated by using the Ct at which the fluorescence signal of the reporter dye rose above the baseline signal (Figure 1B) . The results from the cell line cDNA and patient samples were plotted on the standard curve, and the estimated copy numbers of the cyclin D1 gene was calculated as well as for the G6PDH gene (Figure 2) . For example, SP-49, a MCL cell line,9 was found to contain 2.9 x 106 copies of the cyclin D1 gene in 100 ng cDNA, and HL60 1.9 x 104 copies. Patient samples of MCL contained an average of 3.6 x 105 copies of cyclin D1, and those of MCL-like low-grade B-cell lymphomas 1.1 x 103, of DLB 2.0 x 104, of follicular lymphomas 2.0 x 104, and of reactive lymphadenitis 1.7 x 104 (Table 1) . One AML patient shown to be positive for cyclin D1 by Northern blotting had 8.0 x 104 copies of cyclin D1 in the sample, whereas those from other AML patients contained an average of 7.0 x 102 copies (Figure 3A) . These results correlated well with those obtained with Northern blotting and immunohistochemistry (data not shown).

  		Figure 3. Cyclin D1 expression level and cyclin D1/G6PDH ratio by real-time RT-PCR. Patient samples and cell lines that are positive (open circles) and negative (filled circles) for cyclin D1 as detected by Northern blotting are plotted for cyclin D1 expression level (A) and cyclin D1/G6PDH (B). The cyclin D1/G6PDH ratio from all patients with MCL exceeded 0.7 (range, 0.78 ~ 12.4) and the geometric mean value was 1.8 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.29 ~ 11.1]. The ratios from other patients were exclusively <0.2 and the geometric mean value was 0.044 (95% CI: 0.014 ~ 0.25) for other B-cell lymphomas excluding one extreme value (*, judged by Smirnov’s test). The cyclin D1/G6PDH ratio of SP-49 was 8.2, whereas that of other cell lines ranged from 0.11 to 3.1 x10 -5.

 
Genomic PCR for t(11;14)

Genomic PCR detected t(11;14) only in two of the nine MCL patients with the primer sets examined. No other patient samples of B-cell lymphomas or B-cell lines including SP49 showed positive PCR results for the genomic PCR for t(11;14), although clonal immunoglobulin heavy-chain gene rearrangement was identified in each sample.

Correction of Cyclin D1 Expression by G6PDH

The average copy numbers of control G6PDH was 2.9 x 105 for MCL, 3.2 x 105 for other B-cell lymphomas, and 9.5 x 105 for AML, thus with a significantly higher copy numbers for AML (P = 0.018, Mann-Whitney’s U test). The resultant cyclin D1/G6PDH ratio showed a sharp division into two categories. The cyclin D1/G6PDH ratio of all MCL cases exceeded 0.7 (range, 0.78 ~ 12.4) and that of the SP-49 cell line was 8.2, whereas all of the other cases showed the ratio below 0.2 (Table 1) . One case of MCL-like low-grade B-cell lymphomas (* in Figure 3B ) showed exceptionally low levels of both the cyclin D1 expression and the cyclin D1/G6PDH ratio (P < 0.00001 by Smirnov’s extreme test). The 95% confidence interval of the cyclin D1/G6PDH ratio was 0.29 ~ 11.1 for MCL, 0.014 ~ 0.25 for other B-cell lymphoma excluding the one case with extreme value, 0.023 ~ 0.085 for reactive lymphadenitis, and 0.00014 ~ 0.083 for AML. These data showed that a cutoff value of cyclin D1/G6PDH for the diagnosis MCL can be set at 0.25 in our system.

We have identified that the RQ-PCR detection of cyclin D1 supplemented by the external control G6PDH is particularly useful for the diagnosis of MCL. Although the overexpression of cyclin D1 readily detectable by Northern blotting,4 this methodology is not widely used for clinical diagnosis, which might be because of complicated procedures or some technical problems.8 The RQ-PCR is a rapid and reproducible method, and does not require detection steps after PCR, such as gel electrophoresis, densitometry, Southern blotting, and hybridization. Although our present system requires two separated reactions, the PQ-PCR is convenient enough for the routine diagnostic use as well as immunohistochemistry2 or fluorescence in situ hybridization.26 A multiplex RQ-PCR using probes labeled with different fluorescent dyes may enable the examination with one reaction.

The PQ-PCR of cyclin D1 is more sensitive than genomic PCR of t(11;14) for the molecular diagnosis of MCL. The genomic PCR could detect t(11;14) only in two of the nine MCL patients and the detection rate was consistent with the results in the literature. Because of the widely scattered locations of the breakpoint of t(11;14) on chromosome 11, its detection rate by the genomic PCR has been reported as 30 to 50%.7,27-30 Also, the genomic detection by Southern blotting is not sufficient for the initial diagnosis of MCL because of the wide-range breakpoint distribution31 or the presence of variant translocations.32 Although the real-time PCR for genomic t(11;14) is sensitive enough for the detection of minimal residual disease, the application is restricted to the patients with a detectable breakpoint.33,34

Increased expression of cyclin D1 has been described in a part of myeloid leukemias by Northern blotting4 as well as competitive quantitative PCR,6 although its pathological significance was unclear. Our present result with RQ-PCR of cyclin D1 alone also showed high expression level in AML samples. However, the expression level of G6PDH was also significantly high in AML, which might be dismissed in Northern blot or nonquantitative PCR analyses. The high copy number of G6PDH in AML patients and cell lines indicates their proliferative activity. Evaluating cyclin D1 expression with the cyclin D1/G6PDH ratio allowed for correction of the cyclin D1 expression accompanying cell proliferation, and makes it possible to identify aberrant cyclin D1 expression in MCL specifically. The high expression of cyclin D1 in a part of myeloid leukemias reflects their proliferative activity and does not represent the oncogenic overexpression. Weak expression of cyclin D1 without any 11q13 translocations has also been described in hairy cell leukemia,35 but we could not examine hairy cell leukemia cases because of its uncommonness in Japan. The expression mechanism of cyclin D1 in hairy cell leukemia should be clarified by future investigations.
