Research Abstract |
Recent studies indicated that Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) cells derive mostly from B cells and very rarely from T cells. However it is unclear how normal lymphocytes transform and acquire molecular bases characteristic for HL. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is found in about half of HL cases, thereby thought to be an important mediator of the transformation. I n this study, We indicated EBV infection triggers expression of LMP-1, which mediates activation of CD30-ERK1/2-Ets-1-JunB-CD30 and CD30-NF-kB-CD40- NF-kB. The results indicate important roles of EBV for acquirement of biological bases of HL.
