Targeting B-cell anergy in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
B-cell receptor (BCR) triggering and responsiveness have a crucial role in the survival and expansion of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) clones. Analysis of in vitro response of CLL cells to BCR triggering allowed the definition of 2 main subsets of patients and lack of signaling capacity was associated with constitutive activation of extracellular-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2) and nuclear ...
متن کاملMolecular pathways: targeting the microenvironment in chronic lymphocytic leukemia--focus on the B-cell receptor.
Interactions between malignant B lymphocytes and the tissue microenvironment play a major role in the pathogenesis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and other B-cell malignancies. The coexistence and coevolution of CLL cells with their tissue neighbors provided the basis for discovery of critical cellular and molecular drivers of the disease and identification of new therapeutic targets. Bo...
متن کاملTargeting B-cell receptor signaling kinases in chronic lymphocytic leukemia: the promise of entospletinib
The B-cell receptor signaling pathway has emerged as an important therapeutic target in chronic lymphocytic leukemia and other B-cell malignancies. Novel agents have been developed targeting the signaling enzymes spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK), Bruton's tyrosine kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta. This review discusses the rationale for targeting these enzymes, as well as the preclinical...
متن کاملB-cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Purpose: To review the recent major advances in the molecular and cell biology of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). Methods: Weanalyzed thenatureofmalignantB-CLLB cells and their interactions with the microenvironment. Results: B-CLL is a malignancy of a mantle zonebased subpopulation of anergic, self-reactive, activated CD51 B cells devoted to the production of polyreactive natural ...
متن کاملChronic lymphocytic leukemia: revelations from the B-cell receptor.
The finding that chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) consists of 2 clinical subsets, distinguished by the incidence of somatic mutations in the immunoglobulin (Ig) variable region (V) genes, has clearly linked prognosis to biology. Antigen encounter by the cell of origin is indicated in both subsets by selective but distinct expression of V genes, with evidence for continuing stimulation after t...
