TOX expression in cutaneous B-cell lymphomas

Cutaneous B-cell Lymphomas

Clinical features and history Cutaneous B-cell lymphomas usually present as one or more erythematous papules or nodules that may coalesce to form plaques. They are usually localized tumors effecting one cutaneous region and rarely ulcerate. There is some regional predilection for various sub-types of tumors; follicle center lymphoma more commonly arises on the scalp, marginal zone B-cell lympho...

HLA-G protein up-regulation in primary cutaneous lymphomas is associated with interleukin-10 expression in large cell T-cell lymphomas and indolent B-cell lymphomas.

Primary cutaneous lymphomas (CLs) constitute a spectrum of diseases characterized by a clonal accumulation of lymphocytes in the skin. Most CLs display a T(h)2 cytokine profile, including expression of interleukin-10 (IL-10). Because the up-regulation of HLA-G, a nonclassical class Ib molecule inducible by IL-10, might account for the immunescape of the malignant clone, HLA-G and IL-10 expressi...

Cutaneous primary B-cell lymphomas: from diagnosis to treatment*

Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas are a heterogeneous group of mature B-cells neoplasms with tropism for the skin, whose biology and clinical course differ significantly from the equivalent nodal lymphomas. The most indolent forms comprise the primary cutaneous marginal zone and follicle center B-cell lymphomas that despite the excellent prognosis have cutaneous recurrences very commonly. The ...

Molecular analysis of cutaneous B- and T-cell lymphomas.

Among extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, primary cutaneous lymphomas (CLs) represent a consistent group of B- and T-cell malignancies. We investigated the arrangement of Ig and T-cell receptor (TCR) genes, together with the involvement of several oncogenes and the tumor-suppressor gene p53, in a panel of primary cutaneous B- and T-cell lymphomas (CBCLs and CTCLs). Southern blot analysis was pe...
