Abstract

The most common type of primary testicular lymphoma is diffuse large B-cell type, which has a poor prognosis relative to other extra-nodal diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL). These constitute a heterogeneous group of lymphomas with germinal center B-cell-like and activated B-cell-like subtypes. Such a distinction theoretically utilizes the immunohistochemical expression of CD10, Bcl-6, and MUM1. The purpose of this study was that we could stratify primary testicular lymphoma of diffuse large B-cell type according to this scheme, and further elucidate the reason why primary testicular diffuse large B-cell lymphoma possesses a poor clinical outcome. Seventeen Chinese patients with primary testicular DLBCL were examined by means of a 3-antibody panel (CD10, Bcl-6, MUM1). Among these 17 cases, 16 were assigned to the activated B-cell-like subtypes. One case was classified as germinal center B-cell-like type. Twelve of these 17 cases expressed high proliferative activity (>or=40% Ki-67 labeling). The majority of primary testicular DLBCLs have activated B-cell-like subtype characteristics and high proliferative activity. These features might be a significant factor; moreover, they are associated with poor prognosis.

B cells: Gene Expression

B lymphocytes are white blood cells that play a role in the adaptive immune system by secreting antibodies. Here is the latest research on gene expression in B cells.

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.

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.
