Research Abstract |
Ocular adnexal marginal zone B cell lymphoma (Ocular MALT lymphoma) has been shown to possess characteristic 6q23.3 loss and the candidate gene was found to be TNFAIP3/A20 by our group. The loss was also found in about 31% of mantle cell lymphoma and 50% of ABC type diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The knock-down experiment revealed that the loss of the gene leads to activation of NF-kappaB. When the gene was knock-down in EB virus immortalized B-cell, the colony formation ability was increased, suggesting that the loss contribute B-cell lymphomagenesis.
