Richter syndrome

Condoluci, Adalgisa ; Rossi, Davide

In: Current Oncology Reports, 2021, vol. 23, no. 3, p. 10

Purpose of Review Richter syndrome (RS) is an uncommon but aggressive evolution of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL). RS is an unmet clinical need in the field of CLL. Recent advances in understanding the biology of this condition provide the rationale for testing new therapeutic concepts in order to improve the outcome of patients developing RS, which is so far...

BIRC3 is a recurrently mutated gene in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) but the functional implications of BIRC3 mutations are largely unexplored. Furthermore, little is known about the prognostic impact of BIRC3 mutations in CLL cohorts homogeneously treated with first-line fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab (FCR). By immunoblotting analysis, we showed that the non-canonical...

Role of ETS1 in the transcriptional network of diffuse large B cell lymphoma of the activated B cell-like type

Priebe, Valdemar ; Sartori, Giulio ; Napoli, Sara ; Chung, Elaine Yee Lin ; Cascione, Luciano ; Kwee, Ivo ; Arribas, Alberto Jesus ; Mensah, Afua Adjeiwaa ; Rinaldi, Andrea ; Ponzoni, Maurilio ; Zucca, Emanuele ; Rossi, Davide ; Efremov, Dimitar ; Lenz, Georg ; Thome, Margot ; Bertoni, Francesco

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a heterogenous disease that has been distinguished into at least two major molecular entities, the germinal center-like B cell (GCB) DLBCL and activated-like B cell (ABC) DLBCL, based on transcriptome expression profiling. A recurrent ch11q24.3 gain is observed in roughly a fourth of DLBCL cases resulting in the overexpression of two ETS transcription...

HTLV-1 propels thymic human T cell development in “human immune system” Rag2-/- gamma c-/- Mice

Villaudy, Julien ; Wencker, Mélanie ; Gadot, Nicolas ; Gillet, Nicolas A. ; Scoazec, Jean-Yves ; Gazzolo, Louis ; Manz, Markus G. ; Bangham, Charles R. M. ; Duc Dodon, Madeleine

In: Plos pathogens, 2011, vol. 7, no. 9, p. e1002231

Alteration of early haematopoietic development is thought to be responsible for the onset of immature leukemias and lymphomas. We have previously demonstrated that TaxHTLV-1 interferes with ß- selection, an important checkpoint of early thymopoiesis, indicating that human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) infection has the potential to perturb thymic human αβ T-cell development. To...

ACKR3 expression on diffuse large B cell lymphoma is required for tumor spreading and tissue infiltration

Puddinu, Viola ; Casella, Sabrina ; Radice, Egle ; Thelen, Sylvia ; Dirnhofer, Stefan ; Bertoni, Francesco ; Thelen, Marcus

In: Oncotarget, 2017, vol. 8, no. 49, p. 85068-85084

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most frequent lymphoma accounting for more than the 30% of the cases. Involvement of extranodal sites, such as bone marrow and central nervous system, is associated with poor prognosis. A contribution of the chemokine system in these processes is assumed as it is known as a critical regulator of the metastatic process in cancer. The atypical...
