چکیده

The World Health Organisation classification reports three subcategories of Burkitt's lymphoma (BL)--endemic, non-endemic, and immunodeficiency associated--proposed to reflect the major clinical and genetic subtypes of this disease. These different types of BL have been reviewed and studied by immunohistochemistry and molecular methods. The results point out the heterogeneity of BL and suggest that AIDS related BL may have a different pathogenesis from that of classic BL.

There are some evidences on involvement of ABL2 in a number of cancers, especially ABL2 overexpression was observed in Raji, a Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) cell line. Therefore ABL2 overexpression may be involved in pathogenesis of Burkitt's lymphoma. The aim of this study was to evaluate ABL2 significance in BL. For this purpose 20 formaldehyde fixed paraffin embedded blocks – 16BL and 4 normal lym...

A biologic definition of Burkitt's lymphoma from transcriptional and genomic profiling.

BACKGROUND The distinction between Burkitt's lymphoma and diffuse large-B-cell lymphoma is unclear. We used transcriptional and genomic profiling to define Burkitt's lymphoma more precisely and to distinguish subgroups in other types of mature aggressive B-cell lymphomas. METHODS We performed gene-expression profiling using Affymetrix U133A GeneChips with RNA from 220 mature aggressive B-cell...

Detection of genomic aberrations in molecularly defined Burkitt's lymphoma by array-based, high resolution, single nucleotide polymorphism analysis.

BACKGROUND Knowledge about the genetic lesions that occur in Burkitt's lymphoma, besides the pathognomonic IG-MYC translocations, is limited. DESIGN AND METHODS Thirty-nine molecularly-defined Burkitt's lymphomas were analyzed with high-resolution single-nucleotide polymorphism chips for genomic imbalances and uniparental disomy. Imbalances were correlated to expression profiles and selected ...

c-Myc proteolysis by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway: stabilization of c-Myc in Burkitt's lymphoma cells.

The c-Myc oncoprotein is a transcription factor which is a critical regulator of cellular proliferation. Deregulated expression of c-Myc is associated with many human cancers, including Burkitt's lymphoma. The c-Myc protein is normally degraded very rapidly with a half-life of 20 to 30 min. Here we demonstrate that proteolysis of c-Myc in vivo is mediated by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. In...

Mantle cell lymphoma: identifying novel molecular targets in growth and survival pathways.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) remains one of the more challenging sub-types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This entity, which is only approximately 10 years old, is characterized by response to many different chemotherapy regimens, though the duration of those responses remains often times quite short. Retreatment with second and third line combination regimens results in shorter and shorter durations o...
