Research Abstract |
Malignant lymphoma possess histologic and genetic diversity, hence understanding the mechanisms of each cases is important for improving their prognosis. In our present study, we analyzed several subsets of non-Hodgkin lymphomas and found that; (1) TNFAIP3/A20 gene is frequently altered in B-cell lymphoma with NF-kB activation. (2) TNFAIP3 may be involved in lymphomagenesis through inhibiting NF-kB. (3) Our study provides a novel insight into molecular mechanisms leading to lymphoma and that specific targeting of NF-kB pathways may be advantageous for treatment.
