Connexin 43 Communication Channels in Follicular Dendritic Cell Development and in Follicular Lymphomas
Follicular dendritic cells (FDC) show homo- and heterocellular metabolic coupling through connexin 43 (Cx43) gap junctions and support B cell selection and maturation in germinal centers. In follicular lymphomas B cells escape apoptosis while FDC develop abnormally. Here we tested Cx43 channels in reactive FDC development and follicular lymphomas. In culture, the treatment of FDC-B cell cluster...
متن کاملConnexin 43 gap junction protein expression during follicular development in the porcine ovary.
Connexin 43, a member of the highly conserved connexin family of gap junction proteins, is expressed in the pig ovary. In other species, ovarian connexin 43 expression and phosphorylation are hormonally regulated. We characterized connexin 43 expression and phosphorylation in the ovaries of mature pigs during the estrous cycle and in prepubertal gilts during follicular development induced by eC...
متن کاملClonally related follicular lymphomas and histiocytic/dendritic cell sarcomas: evidence for transdifferentiation of the follicular lymphoma clone.
Rare cases of histiocytic and dendritic cell (H/DC) neoplasms have been reported in patients with follicular lymphoma (FL), but the biologic relationship between the 2 neoplasms is unknown. We studied 8 patients with both FL and H/DC neoplasms using immunohistochemistry, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for t(14;18), and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)/sequencing of BCL2 and IGH rearra...
متن کاملRegulation of Follicular Growth and Development in Sheep
This manuscript reviews the present knowledge related to folliculogenesis in sheep.Folliculogenesis starts with formation of primordial follicles before birth, present as a pool containing a certain number of follicles. By the attainment of puberty, a group of follicles from that pool starts to grow, a process known as primordial follicle activation or recruitment. The number of growing primord...
متن کاملImmunotherapy with rituximab in follicular lymphomas.
BACKGROUND Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas (NHL) represent a recent and fascinating domain of hemato-oncology, in which remarkable progress has been made. The conventional treatments of indolent lymphomas do not extend the survival rate, nor do they cure. Recent directions are centered on using several new drugs that are capable of overcoming the mechanisms that are resistant to recovery. The initiation ...
