Abstract:
Abstract ZAP70 expression has been shown to be involved in enhanced signalling and more aggressive disease in a subset of CLL. Mechanisms regulating ZAP70 expression are unknown. We have shown previously that despite the absence of a 5’ CpG island, the methylation status of a small region of CpG dinucleotides (CpGs) correlates with the transcriptional state of the gene in both normal lymphocytes and B cell leukemias. Quantitative methylation analysis of 605 CpGs across the 28kb genomic region spanning ZAP70 was performed by MassARRAY on a panel of 17 CLL tumor cell samples, 4 lymphoid cell lin

Abstract B-cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (B-CLL) is characterized by accumulation of clonal lymphocytes resistant to apoptosis. Therefore, identification of molecules responsible for the increased resistance to apoptosis is warranted. The identified molecules could be further targeted to develop effective therapy. Emerging evidence on the mechanism of resistant to apoptosis in several cancers suggests that GLI1 transcription factor, target of hedgehog signaling, may have a potential role in the increased resistance to apoptosis in B-CLL.

Abstract Abstract 4604 Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is characterized by consistent expansion of B cells in peripheral lymphoid organs. CLL B cells express CD5 antigen, and have clonal rearrangement of immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) genes with the restricted usage of VH genes. CLL has thus been believed to represent retention or proliferation of abnormal B cell clones presumably with anti-apoptotic potential, or with deregulated response to auto-antigens. In this study, we extensively search for CLL-initiating cells by utilizing the xenogeneic transplantation system, in which human hema

Abstract Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a quintessential example of human malignancies that are caused primarily by defect in apoptosis. Defects in apoptotic pathways contribute also to chemoresistance and can promote resistance to cellular immune responses. TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL), interacts with four high affinity membrane receptors (TRAIL-R1 – R4): R1 and R2 are thought to transducer apoptotic signals, while R3 and R4 may act as “decoy” receptors, protecting cells from apoptosis. Despite its potential anti–cancer activity, TRAIL alone has a low cytotoxic activit
