MicroRNA expression, chromosomal alterations, and immunoglobulin variable heavy chain hypermutations in Mantle cell lymphomas.
The contribution of microRNAs (miR) to the pathogenesis of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is not well known. We investigated the expression of 86 mature miRs mapped to frequently altered genomic regions in MCL in CD5(+)/CD5(-) normal B cells, reactive lymph nodes, and purified tumor cells of 17 leukemic MCL, 12 nodal MCL, and 8 MCL cell lines. Genomic alterations of the tumors were studied by singl...
متن کاملDevelopmental progression of equine immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region diversity.
Humoral immunity is a critical component of the immune system that is established during fetal life and expands upon exposure to pathogens. The extensive humoral immune response repertoire is generated in large part via immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chain variable region diversity. The horse is a useful model to study the development of humoral diversity because the placenta does not transfer mater...
متن کاملPrimary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas.
Primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) encompass a clinically and biologically heterogeneous group of non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs) defined by clonal proliferation of skin-homing malignant T lymphocytes and natural killer cells. They account for up to 75% to 80% of all cutaneous lymphomas. The current WHO-EORTC classification of cutaneous lymphomas with primary cutaneous manifestations lists...
متن کاملHuman heavy chain variable region gene diversity, organization, and expression.
Elucidation of the cellular and molecular mechanisms which determine the expressed antibody repertoire remains a major challenge in immunology. Knowledge of V gene diversity, organization, and expression is important to an understanding of the formation of the antibody repertoire in normal as well as diseased states. In the last few years, great advances have been made in our understanding of t...
متن کاملRearranged immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region (VH) pseudogene that deletes the second complementarity-determining region.
We have cloned two rearranged heavy chain variable region (VH) genes from the IgG-producing human cell line CESS. The VH gene, which is linked to the mu chain constant region (C mu) gene, has two deletions at residues 45-62 and 82A-90, the former of which corresponds closely to the second complementarity-determining region (CDR2). These results could indicate that translocation of CDR2 occurred...
