ABSTRACT
A hallmark of primary lymphoma of the central nervous system (CNS; PCNSL) is the strong CXCR4 expression of the tumor cells, the function of which is still unknown. In vitro treatment of BAL17CNS lymphoma cells by AMD3100, which inhibits CXCR4-CXCL12 interactions, resulted in the significantly differential expression of 273 genes encoding proteins involved in cell motility, cell-cell signaling and interaction, hematological system development and function, and immunologic disease. Among the genes down-regulated was the one encoding CD200, a regulator of CNS immunologic activity. These data directly translated into the in vivo situation; BAL17CNS CD200 expression was down-regulated by 89% (3% versus 28% CD200+ lymphoma cells) in AMD3100-treated versus untreated mice with BAL17CNS-induced PCNSL. Reduced lymphoma cell CD200 expression may contribute to the markedly increased microglial activation in AMD3100-treated mice. AMD3100 also maintained the structural integrity of blood-brain barrier tight junctions and the outer basal lamina of cerebral blood vessels. Subsequently, lymphoma cell invasion of the brain parenchyma was impaired, and maximal parenchymal tumor size was significantly reduced by 82% in the induction phase. Thus, AMD3100 qualified as a potentially attractive candidate to be included into the therapeutic concept of PCNSL. Beyond therapy, CXCR4-induced suppression of microglial activity is of general neuroimmunologic interest. This study identified CD200 expressed by the lymphoma cells as a novel mechanism of immune escape in PCNSL.
