Expression pattern of XBP1(S) in human B-cell lymphomas.

چکیده
The transcription factor XBP1 (X-box-binding protein 1) is essential for plasma cell (PC) differentiation and immunoglobulin secretion. XBP1 is widely expressed, but its activity is precisely controlled by mRNA splicing in response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. It is the active form of XBP1, XBP1(S), which is required for PC differentiation. The relationship between XBP1(S) expression and PC differentiation in human tissue and its expression in hematologic malignancies has eluded assessment. With a novel antibody, we now define XBP1(S) expression in a large series of normal and neoplastic lymphoid tissues. We establish that XBP1(S) provides a specific marker of advanced plasma differentiation and in lymphoid malignancies is restricted to PC-derived neoplasms and plasmablastic diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. XBP1(S) expression delineates heterogeneity amongst plasmablastic diffuse large B-cell lymphomas, identifying a distinct tumor sub-group. Furthermore, our results establish a direct and practical means of assessing ER stress in human tumors.

Bovine Leukaemia Virus onco-protein Tax antigen identification in human lymphomas tissue
Background: Bovine leukaemia virus (BLV) is the primary cause of enzootic bovine leukaemia which belongs to the HTLV/BLV group of oncogenic retroviruses including Human T-cell leukaemia virus types 1, 2, and 3 and simian T-lymphotropic virus. Due to daily consumption of milk, meat and other dairy by-products, a possible role in appearing human cancers can be assumed for BLV. Materials and Metho...

BACKGROUND Primary central nervous system lymphomas, predominantly diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (PCNS-DLBCL), are aggressive malignancies, and no histopathological variables with independent prognostic value are currently available. The aim of this study is to determine the prognostic value of histopathological variables of PCNS-DLBCL. METHODS Aggregative perivascular tumor cells (APVTs) an...
