Fc?RIIb expression in early stage chronic lymphocytic leukemia.


ABSTRACT: In normal B-cells, B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) signaling can be negatively regulated by the low-affinity receptor Fc?RIIb (CD32b). To better understand the role of Fc?RIIb in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), we correlated its expression on 155 samples from newly-diagnosed Binet A patients with clinical characteristics and outcome. Fc?RIIb expression was similar in normal B-cells and leukemic cells, this being heterogenous among patients and within CLL clones. Fc?RIIb expression did not correlate with well known prognostic markers [disease stage, serum beta-2 microglobulin (B2M), IGHV mutational status, expression of ZAP-70 and CD38, and cytogenetics] except for a weak concordance with CD49d. Moreover, patients with low Fc?RIIb expression (69/155, 44.5%) required therapy earlier than those with high Fc?RIIb expression (86/155, 55.5%) (median 151.4 months vs. not reached; p=.071). These results encourage further investigation on the role of Fc?RIIb in CLL biology and prognostic significance in larger series of patients.

In normal B-cells, B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) signaling can be negatively regulated by the low-affinity receptor FcγRIIb (CD32b). To better understand the role of FcγRIIb in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), we correlated its expression on 155 samples from newly-diagnosed Binet A patients with clinical characteristics and outcome. FcγRIIb expression was similar in normal B-cells and leukemic cells, this being heterogenous among patients and within CLL clones. FcγRIIb expression did not corr  ...[more]
