To investigate the role of the cell cycle regulators p21(Waf1), p27(Kip1), retinoblastoma (Rb), and cyclin D1 in Richter's transformation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), we analyzed 19 CLL and eight Richter's syndrome (RS) tumors, previously characterized for p53 and ARF/INK4a abnormalities. p21(Waf1)immunohistochemical expression was negative in 12 of 15 CLL (80%), whereas it was moderate or strong in three of seven RS (43%). p21(Waf1) gene was in germline configuration in all the tumors analyzed. Four immunohistochemical patterns of p53 and p21(Waf1) expression were observed: (1) p53-/p21- in 10 of 15 CLL (67%), but only in two of six RS (33%); (2) p53+/p21+ in three CLL (20%) and two RS (33%); (3) p53-/p21+ in one RS; and (4) p53++/p21- in two CLL and one RS. Two p53+/p21+ CLL evolved into RS. p53 mutations clustered around the p53++/p21- (two CLL and one RS) and p53-/p21- (one CLL and one RS) tumors. While the majority of CLL displayed strong p27 immunoreactivity, RS tumors were constantly p27-negative. p27(Kip1) gene was in germline configuration in all the tumors analyzed. Most CLL cases were negative for Rb expression. In contrast, all RS exhibited strong Rb expression. Cyclin D1 overexpression was only detected in one CLL evolving into RS and one RS. In conclusion, a p53+/p21- immunohistochemical pattern is shown exclusively by p53-mutated CLL/RS. Additionally, our results suggest a possible implication of moderate/strong p21(Waf1) expression, loss of p27 expression, and cyclin D1 overexpression in the Richter's transformation of CLL.
