The majority of low-grade follicular lymphomas will eventually transform to an aggressive intermediate, or high-grade lymphoma. The molecular mechanisms responsible for this transformation have not been determined. We studied serial biopsies from 34 patients with follicular lymphomas that underwent histologic transformation, for abnormalities of the p53 tumor suppressor gene by a combination of immunohistochemistry, single strand conformation polymorphism analysis (SSCP), and sequencing. We found overexpression of p53 in 10 of the 34 transformed aggressive lymphomas, 9 of which contained mutations identified by SSCP analysis and subsequent sequencing. Matched pretransformation low-grade follicular lymphoma biopsies were available for 7 of the 10 cases. None of six studied by immunohistochemistry showed overexpression of p53 and only 1 of 4 studied by SSCP/sequencing showed the presence of mutation in the pretransformation biopsy. Interestingly, an eighth p53 positive transformed lymphoma recurred with a clonally related, p53 negative low-grade lymphoma 5 years after the patient had achieved a complete remission. Immunohistochemistry also showed that several pretransformation biopsies from p53 positive transformed cases showed rare p53 positive cells and in one case we could document an increase in their number over time. Twenty-five additional low-grade follicular lymphoma biopsies were also examined. Three patients had lymphomas positive for p53 mutation. One of the three subsequently transformed within a year of the biopsy studied; the second patient had an earlier (unavailable) biopsy at a different site that showed transformed histology. The third patient was treated with ProMACE-MOPP combination chemotherapy and attained a complete remission. We conclude that (1) mutations of p53 are associated with histologic transformation in approximately 25% to 30% of follicular lymphomas and (2) p53 positive cells can be detected before histologic transformation, but do not comprise a significant percentage of the neoplastic cell population (identifiable by SSCP) until late in the disease, just before or after histologic progression. Finally, the data also suggest that p53 positive low-grade lymphomas are at risk for progression and that in this subset, aggressive therapy may be warranted.
