More ZAP for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
نویسنده
چکیده
Antigen stimulation of the leukemic clone is increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of CLL. Chen and colleagues provide evidence that expression of ZAP-70 in CLL B cells renders IgM signaling more effective and thereby could contribute to the more rapidly progressive clinical course of ZAP-70-positive CLL.

Expression of ZAP-70 is associated with increased B-cell receptor signaling in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
We examined isolated leukemia B cells of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) for expression of zeta-associated protein 70 (ZAP-70). CLL B cells that have nonmutated immunoglobulin variable region genes (V genes) expressed levels of ZAP-70 protein that were comparable to those expressed by normal blood T cells. In contrast, CLL B cells that had mutated immunoglobulin variable V gene...
متن کاملZAP-70 is a novel conditional heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) client: inhibition of Hsp90 leads to ZAP-70 degradation, apoptosis, and impaired signaling in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
The zeta-associated protein of 70 kDa (ZAP-70) is expressed in patients with aggressive chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). We found that ZAP-70+ CLL cells expressed activated heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp90) with high binding affinity for Hsp90 inhibitors, such as 17-allyl-amino-demethoxy-geldanamycin (17-AAG), whereas normal lymphocytes or ZAP-70- CLL cells expressed nonactivated Hsp90. Activate...

Introduction: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most frequent leukemia in adults living in Western countries. with a diverse clinical course that due to life expectancy less than two years between patients finding ,new therapeutic strategies is essential for it. Curcumin as the biologic active of turmeric, has many biological properties such as anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-diab...
متن کاملIMMUNOBIOLOGY ZAP-70 enhances IgM signaling independent of its kinase activity in chronic lymphocytic leukemia
We transduced chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells lacking ZAP-70 with vectors encoding ZAP-70 or various mutant forms of ZAP-70 and monitored the response of transduced CLL cells to treatment with F(ab)2 anti-IgM (anti). CLL cells made to express ZAP-70, a kinasedefective ZAP-70 (ZAP-70-KA369), or a ZAP-70 unable to bind c-Cbl (ZAP-YF292) experienced greater intracellular calcium flux and ...
متن کاملZAP-70 expression identifies a chronic lymphocytic leukemia subtype with unmutated immunoglobulin genes, inferior clinical outcome, and distinct gene expression profile.
The presence or absence of somatic mutations in the expressed immunoglobulin heavy chain variable regions (IgVH) of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells provides prognostic information. Patients whose leukemic cells express unmutated IgVH regions (Ig-unmutated CLL) often have progressive disease, whereas patients whose leukemic cells express mutated IgVH regions (Ig-mutated CLL) more often ...
