Outline of Final Research Achievements

Although clinical outcomes of malignant lymphoma have been improved due to the application of monoclonal antibody therapies, the outcomes of extranodal involvement including central nervous system during the clinical course are still intractable. In this study, we investigated an underlying mechanism of organ specific lymphoma development using patient derived xenograft models. We could uncover that the inhibition of cell migration was potentially associated with a pathogenesis in intravascular large B-cell lymphoma. Moreover we focused on an amplification of chromosome 19q known to be involved in extranodal B-cell lymphoma. We could also uncover SPIB, a member of the Ets family of transcription factors located on chromosome 19q, was novel poor prognostic factor in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma through an anti-apoptotic mechanism.
