Consistent with this observation, TCEAL7-downregulated clones showed higher levels of NF-kappaB targets, such as pro-proliferative (cyclin-D1 and cMyc), pro-angiogenic (interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)), inflammatory (intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2)) and anti-apoptotic (B-cell lymphoma-extra large (Bcl-xl)) genes when compared with vector controls.
Western blot analysis and quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) revealed that cells underexpressing CCND1 exhibited decreased multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1) and B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) expression, but enhanced apoptosis effector caspase-3 expression.
Rearrangement of the BCL1 (B-cell lymphoma 1) region on chromosome 11q13 appears to be highly characteristic of centrocytic lymphoma and also is found infrequently in other B-cell neoplasms.
The silencing of FGFR2 was demonstrated to augment the effects of cisplatin treatment, including decreasing the cell viability and inducing cell cycle arrest, which involved the increase and decrease of the durations of G1 and S phases, respectively, and a decrease in the expression levels of cyclin D1 and CDC25A, and increasing the rate of apoptosis via the intrinsic apoptosis pathway, as demonstrated by the upregulation of cleaved caspase‑3 and B‑cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl‑2)‑associated X protein and downregulation of Bcl‑2, in SUNE1 and C666‑1 cell lines.
Twenty primary central nervous system lymphomas (PCNSL) from immunocompetent patients (nineteen B-cell lymphomas and one T-cell lymphoma) were investigated for genetic alterations and/or expression of the genes BCL2, CCND1, CDK4, CDKN1A, CDKN2A, MDM2, MYC, RB1, REL, and TP53.
In order to determine if BCL1 rearrangement is associated with a particular subtype of lymphoma, we analysed 131 B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma samples by Southern blot analysis, using a BCL1 probe.
Western blotting allowed detection of the effects of emodin on the expression of estrogen receptor α, cyclin D1 and B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) and phosphatidylinostiol 3-kinases (PI3K).
Using standard histologic and genetic techniques, complemented with genome-wide aberration analysis by array comparative genomic hybridization, we characterized 2 exceptional cases of blastoid B-cell lymphomas with cyclin D1 overexpression, both bearing genetic rearrangements in the CYCLIN D1 gene locus.
Mantle cell lymphoma is an aggressive, non-curable B-cell lymphoma, characterized by the translocation t(11;14)(q13;q32) involving CCND1 and a high number of additional genetic alterations.
The mRNA and protein levels of AMFR and the downstream targets, rho‑associated, coiled‑coil containing protein kinase 2 (ROCK2), cyclin D1, and B‑cell lymphoma (Bcl)‑2, were measured using reverse transcription‑quantitatibe polymerase chain reaction and immunoblot analyses.
In vitro cultured DU145 cells were treated with miR-124 mimic and/or si-STAT3, to compare expression of STAT3, phosphorylated STAT3 (p-STAT3), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and Cyclin D1.
In our study, the contribution of each of these mRNAs to gene expression and cell proliferation has been investigated in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), a B cell lymphoma characterized by a specific gene translocation resulting in enhanced expression of cyclin D1.
Since expression of cyclin D1 in normal lymphoid cells is very low to undetectable, and only hairy-cell leukemia and very few other B-cell lymphomas show expression, immunohistochemistry for cyclin D1 provides an excellent marker for MCL.
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a unique subtype of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma characterized by chromosomal translocation t(11;14)(q13;q32), positive CD5, and nuclear cyclin D1 overexpression with unfavorable prognosis.
A proliferation-inducing ligand mediates follicular lymphoma B-cell proliferation and cyclin D1 expression through phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-regulated mammalian target of rapamycin activation.
