The role of TP53 mutation in transformation of follicular lymphoma (FL) to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (t-FL) was examined in a panel of 91 lymph node biopsies derived from 29 patients pre- and post-transformation. The entire TP53 coding sequence was screened and immunocytochemistry performed to determine expression of p53 and its key regulator MDM2. A total of 10 mutations were detected in eight patients (28%), although none were present at FL diagnosis. Mutations were not detected solely at the time of transformation; in three patients, mutated TP53 arose in at least one antecedent FL sample ( 6 months, 2.5 years and 4 years prior to transformation). Loss of heterozygosity at the TP53 locus occurred in 2/20 informative patients ( only in t-FL samples). p53 staining was positive in 82% (9/11) of available biopsies with a missense mutation, and negative in 71% (45/63) with wtTP53. MDM2 expression was significantly higher in t-FL samples ( mean 72% positive; 95% confidence interval ( 95% CI) 68-76%) than FL ( mean 58% positive; 95% CI 54-62%) (P < 0.001) but did not correlate with TP53 status. TP53 mutation has only a limited role in the transformation of FL, exerting a heterogeneous influence upon phenotypic change. In contrast, dysregulation of MDM2 is frequent and may provide a more rational therapeutic target.
