Mechanism of NLRC5 in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma / 国际肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common malignant lymphoma in China,which mostly starting from the lymph nodes.The studies find that the expression of NLRC5,member of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor (NLR) family,is evident in the lymphoid cells,which is likely to be an important basis for lymphocyte tumorigenesis.NLRC5 can block the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB),a core component of signal transduction pathway,and affect the development of tumor.While continuing activation of NF-κB is a necessary condition for DLBCL cell survival.Therefore,NLRC5 is likely to inhibit excessive inflammation,thereby inhibiting the function of DLBCL,which promises to be a new target for immunotherapy treatment of DLBCL.
