Cell Proliferation in Lymphomas

Growth factor-mediated proliferation in B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.

The non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHLs) are a heterogeneous group of human lymphoid tumors, primarily of B cell lineage, which appear to represent arrested stages in B lymphocyte differentiation. Control of cell proliferation is a fundamentally important but poorly understood area of study in these tumors. We have studied a representative group of B cell NHLs to assess their potential for growth fac...

Proliferation activity in canine lymphomas.

Forty five lymphomas, 14 of T cell origin, 28 of B cell and 3 with null-cell phenotype, were included in this study. Tumors were classified according to the updated Kiel classification system adapted to canine lymphomas. The percentage of Ki67+ cells and mitotic index (MI) were estimated in each specimen. Most of lymphomas (39 of 45) had high proliferation activity. Among them in 27 cases 50-70...

MicroRNA 28 controls cell proliferation and is down-regulated in B-cell lymphomas.

Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a highly aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL), which originates from germinal center (GC) B cells and harbors translocations deregulating v-myc avian myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog (MYC). A comparative analysis of microRNAs expressed in normal and malignant GC B cells identified microRNA 28 (miR-28) as significantly down-regulated in BL, as well as in...

B-cell differentiation, apoptosis and proliferation in diffuse large B-cell lymphomas.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL) represent the most common type of adult non-Hodgkin's lymphomas in Western countries and are characterized by heterogeneous clinical, histological, immunophenotypic and genetic features. Recent investigations using cDNA and oligonucleotide microarrays have identified molecularly distinct groups of DLBCL with respect to the B-cell differentiation gene expre...
