  2. 1. Burkitt lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma – therapeutic strategies and pathogenetic mechanisms

    Author : Tove Wästerlid; Tumörmikromiljö; []
    Keywords : Burkitt Lymphoma; Chemotherapy; SOX11; Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; Prognostic factors; Rituximab;

    Abstract : Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a rare, aggressive disorder constituting 1% of all non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is more common, accounting for 30% of malignant lymphoma. Standard treatment for adult BL and for certain subgroups of patients with DLBCL remains to be defined due to paucity of randomised trials performed. READ MORE

  4. 2. p53 inactivation by point mutations and splice site mutations in human and mouse tumors

    Author : Kristinn P Magnússon; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : p53; Burkitt Iymphoma; apoptosis; alternative splicing; mutation; ascites;

    Abstract : The p53 tumor suppressor gene is frequently mutated in human tumors. p53 induces cell cycle arrest and/or apoptosis in response to cellular stress, such as DNA damage, hypoxia and certain activated oncogenes like c-myc. The status of p53 in Burkitt's Iymphoma (BL) cell lines was investigated. The majority of BL lines expressed mutated p53 protein. READ MORE

  5. 3. Characteristics of EBV-infected B cell lines and B-CLL clones which determine their interaction with lymphocytes

    Author : Javier Federico Avila-Carino; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : EBV; Burkitt Iymphoma; CLL; MLC; antiviral response phenotype; cytokines.;

    Abstract : The results concerning T Iymphocyte mediated recognition of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) carrying Burkitt Iymphoma (BL) cell lines and EBV-infected chronic Iymphocytic leukemia (CLL) B cells contribute to the understanding of the generally harmless host-EBV interaction and may be extrapolated to the fate of normal B cells after EBV infection. The phenotype of EBV negative BL lines resembles resting B cells. READ MORE

  6. 4. In silico analysis of pathways targeted by EBV infection and malignant transformation

    Author : Ramakrishna Rao Sompallae; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Bioinformatics; systems biology; gene expression analysis; Epstein-Barr virus; Burkitt s lymphoma;

    Abstract : Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous γ-herpes virus with dual cell tropism for human B-lymphocytes and epithelial cells. EBV infection is linked to several malignancies such as Burkitt s lymphoma (BL) and nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). READ MORE

  7. 5. Functional characterization of the alternative reading frame protein p14ARF

    Author : Mikael Lindström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : p14ARF; p19ARF; alternative reading frame; CDKN2A; p53; B23; nucleophosmin; Burkitt´s lymphoma; nucleolus; senescence; Myc; E2F; phosphorylation; RNA interference; ribosome biogenesis;

    Abstract : A deeper understanding of the molecular events underlying tumor development is a prerequisite for the design of novel and efficient therapies. Inactivation of the p53 and retinoblastoma (Rb) tumor suppressor pathways appears as a common theme in most malignant human tumors. READ MORE
