چکیده
Phosphorylated AKT has been detected in extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENTL). Either interleukin-2 (IL-2) or interleukin-15 (IL-15) could prevent AKT dephosphorylation and apoptosis in the NK-92 cell line model. IL-15, but not IL-2, was preferentially elevated in patients' serum. AKT and IL-15 may be important in ENTL tumor survival.

Introduction: Extranodal Natural Killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL) nasal type is a rare but well-known disease with poor prognosis. NKTCL is more prevalent in Asia and comprises about 7-10% of all non-Hodgkin lymphoma cases in this region.

PURPOSE Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKL) is closely associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). To elucidate its pathogenetic role, we examined the expression profiles of EBV-encoded proteins, especially focusing on latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Immunohistochemistry was carried out using clinical samples from ENKL cases, which were diagnosed between 1996 ...
متن کاملCLINICAL TRIALS AND OBSERVATIONS Primary radiotherapy showed favorable outcome in treating extranodal nasal-type NK/T-cell lymphoma in children and adolescents
Extranodal nasal-type natural killer (NK)/ T-cell lymphoma is rarely observed in children and adolescents. We aim to investigate the clinical features, prognosis, and treatment outcomes in these patients. Thirty-seven patients were reviewed. There were 19, 14, 2, and 2 patients with stage I, stage II, stage III, and stage IV diseases, respectively. Among the patients with stage I and II disease...

Nasal type extranodal natural killer (NK) NK-cell/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL) is a rare extranodal lymphoma of NK-cell or T-cell origin that most commonly affects immunocompetent middle-aged men of Asian or Native American descent [1]. The pathogenesis is not understood completely, but it is related in part to infection of the tumor cells with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) [2]. Around 6-7% of all non-Ho...
