Abstract

B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is a class of heterogeneous diseases with variable clinical outcomes. Immunosuppression is particularly common in the subtypes of lymphoma with poor prognosis, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Using a RT-PCR array analysis, we have identified that glycosyltransferase 1 domain-containing 1 (GLT1D1), an enzyme that transfers glycosyl groups to proteins, is highly upregulated in the incurable subtype of B-cell NHL and in early relapse diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Analysis of clinical specimens revealed that GLT1D1 expression was positively correlated with the level of glycosylated programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) in B-cell NHL and that high GLT1D1 expression was associated with poor prognosis. Mechanistically, we showed that GLT1D1 transferred N-linked glycans to PD-L1, thus promoting the immunosuppressive function of glycosylated PD-L1. Downregulation of GLT1D1 resulted in a decrease of glycosylated PD-L1 and enhanced cytotoxic T-cell function against lymphoma cells. In vivo, overexpression of GLT1D1 promoted tumor growth by facilitating tumor immune escape through increased levels of PD-L1. Our work has identified GLT1D1 as a predictive biomarker for B-cell NHL. It has als...Continue Reading

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.
