A form of undifferentiated malignant LYMPHOMA usually found in central Africa, but also reported in other parts of the world. It is commonly manifested as a large osteolytic lesion in the jaw or as an abdominal mass. B-cell antigens are expressed on the immature cells that make up the tumor in virtually all cases of Burkitt lymphoma. The Epstein-Barr virus (HERPESVIRUS 4, HUMAN) has been isolated from Burkitt lymphoma cases in Africa and it is implicated as the causative agent in these cases; however, most non-African cases are EBV-negative.

Epstein-barr virus regulates c-MYC, apoptosis, and tumorigenicity in Burkitt lymphoma. (1/1897)

Loss of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genome from Akata Burkitt lymphoma (BL) cells is coincident with a loss of malignant phenotype, despite the fact that Akata and other EBV-positive BL cells express a restricted set of EBV gene products (type I latency) that are not known to overtly affect cell growth. Here we demonstrate that reestablishment of type I latency in EBV-negative Akata cells restores tumorigenicity and that tumorigenic potential correlates with an increased resistance to apoptosis under growth-limiting conditions. The antiapoptotic effect of EBV was associated with a higher level of Bcl-2 expression and an EBV-dependent decrease in steady-state levels of c-MYC protein. Although the EBV EBNA-1 protein is expressed in all EBV-associated tumors and is reported to have oncogenic potential, enforced expression of EBNA-1 alone in EBV-negative Akata cells failed to restore tumorigenicity or EBV-dependent down-regulation of c-MYC. These data provide direct evidence that EBV contributes to the tumorigenic potential of Burkitt lymphoma and suggest a novel model whereby a restricted latency program of EBV promotes B-cell survival, and thus virus persistence within an immune host, by selectively targeting the expression of c-MYC.  (+info)

Differential expression and phosphorylation of CTCF, a c-myc transcriptional regulator, during differentiation of human myeloid cells. (2/1897)

CTCF is a transcriptional repressor of the c-myc gene. Although CTCF has been characterized in some detail, there is very little information about the regulation of CTCF activity. Therefore we investigated CTCF expression and phosphorylation during induced differentiation of human myeloid leukemia cells. We found that: (i) both CTCF mRNA and protein are down-regulated during terminal differentiation in most cell lines tested; (ii) CTCF down-regulation is retarded and less pronounced than that of c-myc; (iii) CTCF protein is differentially phosphorylated and the phosphorylation profiles depend on the differentiation pathway. We concluded that CTCF expression and activity is controlled at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels.  (+info)

Involvement of wiskott-aldrich syndrome protein in B-cell cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase pathway. (3/1897)

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) has been shown to play a role in normal B-lymphocyte development. Defective expression of Btk leads to human and murine immunodeficiencies. However, the exact role of Btk in the cytoplasmic signal transduction in B cells is still unclear. This study represents a search for the substrate for Btk in vivo. We identified one of the major phosphoproteins associated with Btk in the preB cell line NALM6 as the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP), the gene product responsible for Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, which is another hereditary immunodeficiency with distinct abnormalities in hematopoietic cells. We demonstrated that WASP was transiently tyrosine-phosphorylated after B-cell antigen receptor cross-linking on B cells, suggesting that WASP is located downstream of cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases. An in vivo reconstitution system demonstrated that WASP is physically associated with Btk and can serve as the substrate for Btk. A protein binding assay suggested that the tyrosine-phosphorylation of WASP alters the association between WASP and a cellular protein. Furthermore, identification of the phosphorylation site of WASP in reconstituted cells allowed us to evaluate the catalytic specificity of Btk, the exact nature of which is still unknown.  (+info)

Analysis of the interaction of monoclonal antibodies with surface IgM on neoplastic B-cells. (4/1897)

In vitro studies identified three Burkitts lymphoma cell lines, Ramos, MUTU-I and Daudi, that were growth inhibited by anti-IgM antibody. However, only Ramos and MUTU-I were sensitive to monoclonal antibodies (mAb) recognizing the Fc region of surface IgM (anti-Fc mu). Experiments using anti-Fc mu mAb (single or non-crossblocking pairs), polyclonal anti-mu Ab, and hyper-crosslinking with a secondary layer of Ab, showed that growth inhibition of B-cell lines was highly dependent on the extent of IgM crosslinking. This was confirmed by using Fab', F(ab')2 and F(ab')3 derivatives from anti-Fc mu mAb, where increasing valency caused corresponding increases in growth arrest and apoptosis, presumably as a result of more efficient BCR-crosslinking on the cell surface. The ability of a single mAb to induce growth arrest was highly dependent on epitope specificity, with mAb specific for the Fc region (C mu2-C mu4 domains) being much more effective than those recognizing the Fab region (anti-L chain, anti-Id and anti-Fd mu, or C mu1). Only when hyper-crosslinked with polyclonal anti-mouse IgG did the latter result in appreciable growth inhibition. Binding studies showed that these differences in function were not related to differences in the affinity, but probably related to intrinsic crosslinking capacity of mAb.  (+info)

Differential responses to CD40 ligation among Burkitt lymphoma lines that are uniformly responsive to Epstein-Barr virus latent membrane protein 1. (5/1897)

Ligation of CD40 on the surface of B cells induces multiple phenotypic effects, many of which are mimicked by the EBV latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) through its interaction with downstream components of the CD40 signaling pathway. Because the effects of LMP1 have been most closely studied in human Burkitt Lymphoma (BL) cell lines retaining a tumor biopsy-like phenotype in vitro, we have examined the response of a panel of such lines to CD40 ligation. Two distinct patterns of response were observed that were unrelated to the surface level of CD40 or to the EBV genome status of the lines. Following exposure to either CD40-specific mAbs or the soluble trimeric ligand (sCD40L), high responder (HR) lines showed rapid aggregation, activation of NF-kappa B, up-regulation of cell surface markers ICAM-1/CD54 and Fas/CD95, and growth inhibition. Aggregation was seen at lower doses than those required to elicit the other effects. By contrast, low responder (LR) lines showed no detectable response to CD40 mAbs, while their responses to sCD40L were limited to activation of NF-kappa B and up-regulation of CD95 only. However, in transfection experiments, LMP1 uniformly induced the full spectrum of phenotypic effects in both HR and LR lines. We conclude that some BL cell lines show a highly restricted response to CD40 ligation but remain fully susceptible to LMP1.  (+info)

Restricted low-level human antibody responses against Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded latent membrane protein 1 in a subgroup of patients with EBV-associated diseases. (6/1897)

Human antibody responses to latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) in patients with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-related disease syndromes were analyzed in detail. Only by immunoblot analysis with purified recombinant LMP1 and by IFA on recombinant LMP1-expressing insect cells could human antibodies directed against LMP1 be detected. Low serum levels of LMP1-directed antibodies could be detected in 3 of 8 EBV-positive Hodgkin's disease patients, 3 of 40 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients, 2 of 23 Burkitt's lymphoma patients, and 1 of 27 non-Burkitt's lymphoma patients. No LMP1-directed antibodies could be detected in healthy EBV carriers, infectious mononucleosis patients, or patients with chronic EBV disease. All sera contained significant levels of EBV antibodies directed against the immunodominant EBV proteins and peptides. From this study, it can be concluded that LMP1 is a protein with a very low immunogenicity for the humoral immune response in humans.  (+info)

Induction of lytic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in EBV-associated malignancies using adenovirus vectors in vitro and in vivo. (7/1897)

The consistent presence of EBV genomes in certain tumor types (in particular, AIDS-related central nervous system lymphomas and nasopharyngeal carcinomas) may allow novel, EBV-based targeting strategies. Tumors contain the latent (transforming) form of EBV infection. However, expression of either of the EBV immediate-early proteins, BZLF1 and BRLF1, is sufficient to induce lytic EBV infection, resulting in death of the host cell. We have constructed replication-deficient adenovirus vectors expressing the BZLF1 or BRLF1 immediate-early genes and examined their utility for killing latently infected lymphoma cells in vitro and in vivo. We show that both the BZLF1 and BRLF1 vectors efficiently induce lytic EBV infection in Jijoye cells (an EBV-positive Burkitt lymphoma cell line). Furthermore, lytic EBV infection converts the antiviral drug, ganciclovir (GCV), into a toxic (phosphorylated) form, which inhibits cellular as well as viral DNA polymerase. When Jijoye cells are infected with the BZLF1 or BRLF1 adenovirus vectors in the presence of GCV, viral reactivation is induced, but virus replication is inhibited (thus preventing the release of infectious EBV particles); yet cells are still efficiently killed. Finally, we demonstrate that the BZLF1 and BRLF1 adenovirus vectors induce lytic EBV infection when they are directly inoculated into Jijoye cell tumors grown in severe combined immunodeficiency mice. These results suggest that induction of lytic EBV infection in tumors, in combination with GCV, may be an effective strategy for treating EBV-associated malignancies.  (+info)

Deregulation of the proto-oncogene c-myc through t(8;22) translocation in Burkitt's lymphoma. (8/1897)

In Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) cells the proto-oncogene c-myc is juxtaposed to one of the immunoglobulin (Ig) loci on chromosomes 2, 14, or 22. The c-myc gene becomes transcriptionally activated as a consequence of the chromosomal translocation and shows preferential usage of promoter P1 over P2, a phenomenon referred to as promoter shift. In order to define the responsible regulatory elements within the Ig lambda locus, we studied the effect of the human Ig lambda enhancer (HuE lambda) on c-myc expression after stable transfection into BL cells. A 12 kb genomic fragment encompassing HuE lambda, but not HuE lambda alone, strongly activated c-myc expression and induced the promoter shift. To identify additional elements involved in c-myc deregulation, we mapped DNaseI hypersensitive sites within the 12 kb lambda fragment on the construct. Besides one hypersensitive site corresponding to HuE lambda, three additional sites were detected. Two of these elements displayed enhancer activity after transient transfection. The third element did not activate c-myc transcription, but was required for full c-myc activation and promoter shift. Deletion analyses of the c-myc promoter identified the immediate promoter region as sufficient for activation by the Ig lambda. locus, but also revealed that induction of the promoter shift requires additional upstream elements.  (+info)

What is Burkitt Lymphoma?. Burkitt lymphoma is a form of non-Hodgkins lymphoma which is a type of cancer that starts in the b-cells. Burkitt lymphoma is one of the fastest growing tumors. Burkitt lymphoma attacks the immune system and is fatal if not treated in a timely manner. There are three types of Burkitts lymphoma endemic, sporadic, and immunodeficiency- associated.. What causes Burkitt lymphoma? Who is affected?. The exact cause of Burkitt lymphoma is unknown, but there are factors associated with the disease such as Epstein-Barr. Individuals who are immunosuppressed have a higher risk factor for Burkitt lymphoma. Burkitt lymphoma primarily affects African children, and malaria may make children more vulnerable.. What are the symptoms of Burkitt lymphoma?. There are many symptoms associated with Burkitt lymphoma, including:. ...
An eight year old English boy presented with an abdominal undifferentiated Burkitt-like lymphoma. Lymphoma cells from ascitic fluid were cultured on a human embryo fibroblast feeder layer and, after a short lag period, a cell line (DH-BL) was established which, like the original tumour, was both negative for the Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen (EBNA) and expressed a monoclonal pattern of surface immunoglobulin (alpha lambda). DH-BL also possessed the Burkitt-related 8:14 chromosome translocation in all metaphases analysed; no other chromosomal abnormalities were present. The cell surface phenotype of the original biopsy cells and the cultured tumour cells in early passage were investigated using a panel of monoclonal antibodies to B lineage-associated antigens. These antibodies had recently been used to characterise African endemic Burkitts lymphoma (BL) biopsy cells and their derived cell lines. The cell surface phenotype of this English EBNA negative Burkitt-like lymphoma biopsy was ...
Burkitt lymphoma (BL) (or small noncleaved cell lymphoma) is one of the highly aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) that is characterized by the translocation and deregulation of the c-myc gene on chromosome 8. Malignant small noncleaved lymphoma, a historical term, was used to describe this disease in patients presenting with a soli...
Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is characterized by overexpression of the c-myc oncogene, which in the vast majority of cases is a consequence of an IGH/MYC translocation. While myc is the seminal event, BL is a complex amalgam of genetic and epigenetic changes causing dysregulation of both coding and non-coding transcripts. Emerging evidence suggest that abnormal modulation of mRNA transcription via miRNAs might be a significant factor in lymphomagenesis. However, the alterations in these miRNAs and their correlations to their putative mRNA targets have not been extensively studied relative to normal germinal center (GC) B cells. Using more sensitive and specific transcriptome deep sequencing, we compared previously published small miRNA and long mRNA of a set of GC B cells and eBL tumors. MiRWalk2.0 was used to identify the validated target genes for the deregulated miRNAs, which would be important for understanding the regulatory networks associated with eBL development. We found 211 differentially expressed
Burkitt are highly aggressive lymphomas. As such, the goal of treatment is usually to cure the disease with aggressive therapy. From OncologyChannel: Small noncleaved cell lymphoma (SNCL) is a classification that, in general, has been replaced by the terms Burkitt lymphoma and Burkitt-like (or non-Burkitt) lymphoma. In children, most SNCLs are Burkitt lymphomas, whereas most adult SNCLs are Burkitt-like lymphomas. Burkitts lymphoma tends to occur most often in children and in adults with compromised immune systems. There are three distinct forms of this disease: endemic, sporadic, and immunodeficient.. ...

Our laboratory is studying how antibody-forming cells respond to antigen by undergoing somatic hypermutation and class switch recombination so that they can produce higher affinity antibodies with more useful effector functions. The molecular and biochemical mechanisms of antibody variable region hypermutation and class switch recombination is being studied in mice that have mutations in various repair proteins in collaboration with Dr. Winfried Edelmann. In order to examine detailed molecular mechanisms, we are also studying how mutation is targeted to antibody genes and some oncogenes in human Burkitts lymphoma cell lines which are undergoing variable region mutation in culture. These cell lines and genetically defective mice are being used to study the role of activation induced deaminase (AID), mismatch repair and error prone polymerases in the variable region hypermutation and isotype switching. The analysis of these events also involves the examination of AID activity biochemically and, ...
Migration of metastatic tumor cells from the bloodstream into lymph nodes is thought to be facilitated by expression of the chemokine receptors CCR7, CXCR4 and, for B cell-derived tumors, CXCR5. Expression of their respective chemokine ligands (CCL19, CCL21, CXCL12 and CXCL13) by endothelial cells inside the lymph nodes facilitates the trans-endothelial migration (TEM) of these cells through high endothelial venules into the lymph node parenchyma. It is known that CXCR7, a second CXCL12 receptor, regulates TEM of CXCR4+CXCR7+ tumor cells towards a CXCL12 source. In this study, we set out to assess the potential stimulation by CXCL12 of tumor cell TEM towards other chemokines and whether CXCR7 might be able to regulate such effects. The human Burkitts lymphoma cell line NC-37, which expresses CXCR4, CXCR5, CXCR7 and CCR7, was selected as a model system. TEM of these cells through a human HUVEC endothelial cell monolayer was used as the main model system for these studies. Regulation of their TEM

The nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PADPRP) is thought to play a role in DNA recombination, replication, and repair. In view of the implication of these processes in tumorigenesis, and based on preliminary evidence which indicated the presence of an extraneous polymorphic restriction fragment for murine PADPRP loci in strains of mice susceptible to plasmacytomas, we investigated correlations between the restriction fragment length polymorphism of the PADPRP gene(s) and human Burkitt lymphoma. No increase in the frequency of polymorphisms on chromosome 1 (containing the active gene) or on chromosome 14 (a pseudogene) was observed. However, restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of PADPRP sequences on chromosome 13 (either a processed pseudogene or a gene with extensive identity to PADPRP) revealed that of 19 DNA samples derived from endemic Burkitt lymphoma all contained at least one copy of a rare allele (B). Simple two-allele (A/B) polymorphisms in this PADPRP-like locus ...

Burkitts lymphoma is an aggressive malignancy with high risk of metastasis to extranodal sites, such as bone marrow and central nervous system. The prognosis of metastatic Burkitts lymphoma is poor. Here we sought to identify a role of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) in the metastasis of Burkitts lymphoma cells. Burkitts lymphoma cells were pharmacologically treated with niltubacin, tubacin or sodium butyrate (NaB) or transfected with siRNAs to knock down the expression of HDAC6. Cell migration and invasion ability were measured by transwell assay, and cell cycle progression was analyzed by flow cytometry. Cell adhesion and proliferation was determined by CellTiter-Glo luminescent cell viability assay kit. Cell morphological alteration and microtubule stability were analyzed by immunofluorescence staining. Effect of niltubacin, tubacin and NaB on acetylated tubulin and siRNA efficacy were measured by western blotting. Suppression of histone deacetylase 6 activity significantly compromised the

The p53 tumor suppressor pathway limits oncogenesis by inducing cell cycle arrest or apoptosis. A key p53 target gene is PUMA, which encodes a BH3-only proapoptotic protein. Here we demonstrate that Puma deletion in the Emu-Myc mouse model of Burkitt lymphoma accelerates lymphomagenesis and that approximately 75% of Emu-Myc lymphomas naturally select against Puma protein expression. Furthermore, approximately 40% of primary human Burkitt lymphomas fail to express detectable levels of PUMA and in some tumors this is associated with DNA methylation. Burkitt lymphoma cell lines phenocopy the primary tumors with respect to DNA methylation and diminished PUMA expression, which can be reactivated following inhibition of DNA methyltransferases. These findings establish that PUMA is silenced in human malignancies, and they suggest PUMA as a target for the development of novel chemotherapeutics.. ...

The expression of several microRNAs (miRNAs) is known to be changed in Burkitt lymphoma (BL), compared to its normal counterparts. Although for some miRNAs, a role in BL was demonstrated, for most of them, their function is unclear. In this study, we aimed to identify miRNAs that control BL cell growth. Two BL cell lines were infected with lentiviral pools containing either 58 miRNA inhibitors or 44 miRNA overexpression constructs. Eighteen constructs showed significant changes in abundance over time, indicating that they affected BL growth. The screening results were validated by individual green fluorescent protein (GFP) growth competition assays for fifteen of the eighteen constructs. For functional follow-up studies, we focused on miR-26b-5p, whose overexpression inhibited BL cell growth. Argonaute 2 RNA immunoprecipitation (Ago2-IP) in two BL cell lines revealed 47 potential target genes of miR-26b-5p.

Burkitts lymphoma (BL) cell lines carry a translocated c-myc gene and, in 60-80% of cases, exhibit mutations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene. We examined the potential role of the p53 gene in BL tumorigenicity using an in vitro assay that measures p53-dependent cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase of the cell cycle and an in vivo athymic murine model that detects differences in the tumorigenicity of BL cell lines. A highly significant inverse correlation was found between the ability of BL cells to arrest in G1 after irradiation and their tumorigenicity in athymic mice, consistent with the notion that loss of p53 function is associated with increased tumorigenicity. Inactivation of wild-type (wt) p53 function by expression of the human papillomavirus E6 protein in the AG876V BL cell line, which carries both wt and mutant p53 proteins, rendered the cell line significantly more tumorigenic in athymic mice. Transfection of the wt p53 gene into the p53 mutant and highly tumorigenic BL-41 cell line ...

Burkitts lymphoma is a sort of aggressive B-cell lymphoma. This condition is most usually observed in youngsters and isolated into three types:. - Endemic - this is generally seen in children living in Africa. Usually, this kind of Burkitts lymphoma affects the facial bones such as the jaw, the intestines such as the distal ileum and cecum. Other stomach parts such as the ovaries and kidneys can also be affected.. - Sporadic/Non-African - found outside of Africa and affects the same parts as that of the endemic mixed bag.. - Immunodeficiency associated - this kind of Burkitts lymphoma is usually seen in HIV patients or patients taking insusceptible suppressive drugs.. Causes. Alongside the stated associated factors, Burkitts lymphoma is exceptionally joined with Epstein-Barr virus and jungle fever. The virus creates a change inside the B-cells, a kind of lymphocyte found in the safe system. Exposure to jungle fever weakens the cells resistance to the virus effects, making it one of the ...

Burkitts Lymphoma n. (Medicine / Pathology) a rare type of tumour of the white blood cells, occurring mainly in Africa and associated with infection by Epstein-Barr virus. From MedTerms: A type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that most often occurs in young people between the ages of 12 and 30, accounting for 40% to 50% of childhood NHL. The disease usually causes a rapidly growing tumor in the abdomen. Up to 90% of these tumors are in the abdomen. Other sites of involvement include the testis, sinuses, bone, lymph nodes, skin, bone marrow, and central nervous system. Burkitt lymphoma is a small noncleaved cell lymphoma of B-cell origin. About 25% of Burkitt lymphomas contain Epstein-Barr virus genomes. Burkitt lymphoma is due to a characteristic chromosomal translocation, usually a t(8;14) translocation or, less often, a t(8;22) or t(2;8) translocation. Each of these translocations juxtaposes the c-myc oncogene with immunoglobulin locus regulatory elements, resulting in the inappropriate ...

Background: The epidemiology of Burkitt Lymphoma (BL) shows that the endemic type is mainly confined to equatorial Africa and has a very close association with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), while the sporadic variant shows only a 20% association with EBV and is seen mainly in Europe and North America. An immunodeficent form of BL has been described more recently. This study aimed to describe the epidemiological characteristics and survival of children presenting with BL to Tygerberg Hospital, Cape Town, in South Africa. Methods: A retrospective, descriptive study reviewed all pediatric cases of Burkitt lymphoma at Tygerberg Hospital Oncology Unit between 1 January 1995 and 31 December 2010. The following data were analysed: age at diagnosis, gender, anatomic site, race, socio-economic demographic (rural vs. urban), treatment protocol, side effects, viral characteristics and survival. All cases were confirmed by histology and reviewed by a tumour board. Results: A total of 51 patients with ...

Background. Between 1991 and 1997, limited funding at times restricted available treatment for children with Burkitt lymphoma (BL) to cyclophosphamide (CPM) monotherapy at Lilongwe Central Hospital, Malawi. Our objective was to assess long-term survival in Malawian children with Burkitt lymphoma (BL) who had received one or more treatments with intravenous CPM at 40 mg/kg/dose at 14-day intervals. Procedure and Results. The study population consisted of 92 children in whom BL had been confirmed on fine needle aspirates (FNA), a home address had been documented on discharge from hospital, and the treatment records could be verified. Only the clinical site(s) of disease had been recorded. The M:F ratio was 1.4 and median age 8 years. A clinical officer on motorcycle attempted to locate the given addresses and interview parents or other sources. In 19 patients, the address was incorrect. Of 73 evaluable patients, 40 children are alive at a mean follow-up time of 59 (range: 29-104) months. The ...

Ruth was 9 years old when she first came to St Marys Hospital Lacor in Gulu. She is from a village in Lira, the district that borders Gulu in northern Uganda. Her father brought her to St Marys in June 2019 after she experienced a one-month history of progressive and painful abdominal swelling. When she was admitted to our hospital, Ruth was quite ill. Her nutritional status was very poor and she had severe wasting. Upon examination, she had a grossly distended abdomen and an ill-defined mass that was palpable and very large. She underwent blood work, a chest x-ray and an ultrasound of her abdomen. The ultrasound revealed that she had multiple tumors in her liver, a separate large mass within her abdominal cavity as well as fluid in the abdomen. A biopsy of the large abdominal mass was performed which confirmed that she had Burkitt lymphoma.. Ruth required supportive care, including nutritional support, and was started on first-line (FL) chemotherapy for Burkitt lymphoma that consisted of ...
Indeed, infection by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) has been recognized as a critical driver of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue B-cell lymphoma, which is often reversible by antibiotic therapy. Likewise, chronic B-cell activation in the context of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection was identified as a causative agent in the etiology of HCV-associated diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. Key evidence for this concept comes from a recent study on the role of Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) in the etiology of endemic Burkitt lymphoma (5). In a genetic mouse model for chronic recurrent malaria infection, this study demonstrated that chronic B-cell activation in this model causes aberrant activation of AID and AID-mediated genomic instability leading to B-cell lymphoma. Of note, development of B-cell lymphoma in this model was critically dependent on protracted AID activity (somatic hypermutation and class-switch recombination) in the presence of plasmodium infection.. Initial genetic lesions ...
Apoptosis resistance is the major cause of chemotherapy failure in most kinds of cancers, including Burkitt lymphomas (BL). To elucidate molecular mechanisms regulating the development of apoptosis resistance, a panel of 15 BL cell lines was investigated for apoptosis induction upon treatment with microtubule inhibitors taxol, nocodazole and vincristine. Significant differences were observed in the extent of apoptosis induction among BL cell lines examined. Interestingly, cell lines exhibiting resistance to taxol- or nocodazole-induced apoptosis, showed development of polyploidy (,4N) and vice versa, displaying an inverse relationship between apoptosis and polyploidy induction. Further, in sensitive cell lines taxol-induced apoptosis was accompanied by caspase activation, Bid cleavage and Mcl-1 down-regulation. In contrast, most apoptosis resistant cell lines exhibited a loss of Bax and Bak expression and showed prolonged mitotic arrest with ,4N DNA content upon treatment. To gain mechanistic ...
In Burkitt lymphoma the c-myc gene, the cellular homologue of the viral oncogene v-myc, has been implicated in the aetiology of this human B-cell malignancy. Burkitt lymphoma cells possess specific chromosomal rearrangements involving the region proximal to the c-myc gene and one of the three human immunoglobulin loci. The nature of the effect exerted by the immunoglobulin loci on the translocated c-myc gene is controversial: whereas some reports have suggested c-myc transcription is elevated in Burkitt lymphoma cells, others have suggested the level of transcription is unaffected by the translation. Recently, transcription enhancer elements have been identified in the intron between the JH and C mu segments of the heavy-chain immunoglobulin gene in mice. If similar enhancers exist in humans they may lead to increased transcription of the translocated c-myc gene and thus contribute to oncogenesis in Burkitt lymphoma. We report here the identification of an enhancer element adjacent to the human C mu
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been causally associated with at least five human malignancies. The exact contributions made by EBV to these cancers remain unknown. We demonstrate that one viral protein found in all EBV-associated malignancies, Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA-1), is required for survival of one of these cancers, EBV-positive Burkitts lymphoma. Inhibition of EBNA-1 decreases survival of these tumor cells by inducing apoptosis. Expression of EBNA-1 in uninfected cells also can inhibit apoptosis induced by expression of p53 in the absence of the EBV genome. Our findings demonstrate that EBNA-1 is critical for the continued survival of EBV-associated Burkitts lymphoma, and, by extension, for the other B cell tumors with which EBV is associated. Efficient inhibitors of EBNA-1s functions would likely prove useful in the therapy of EBV-associated malignancies.

Despite the established role of the transcription factor MYC in cancer, little is known about the impact of a new class of transcriptional regulators, the long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), on MYC ability to influence the cellular transcriptome. Here, we have intersected RNA-sequencing data from two MYC-inducible cell lines and a cohort of 91 B-cell lymphomas with or without genetic variants resulting in MYC overexpression. We identified 13 lncRNAs differentially expressed in IG-MYC-positive Burkitt lymphoma and regulated in the same direction by MYC in the model cell lines. Among them, we focused on a lncRNA that we named MYC-induced long noncoding RNA (MINCR), showing a strong correlation with MYC expression in MYC-positive lymphomas. To understand its cellular role, we performed RNAi and found that MINCR knockdown is associated with an impairment in cell cycle progression. Differential gene expression analysis after RNAi showed a significant enrichment of cell cycle genes among the genes ...

The c-Myc oncoprotein promotes proliferation and apoptosis, such that mutations that disable apoptotic programmes often cooperate with MYC during tumorigenesis. Here we report that two common mutant MYC alleles derived from human Burkitts lymphoma uncouple proliferation from apoptosis and, as a result, are more effective than wild-type MYC at promoting B cell lymphomagenesis in mice. Mutant MYC proteins retain their ability to stimulate proliferation and activate p53, but are defective at promoting apoptosis due to a failure to induce the BH3-only protein Bim (a member of the B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl2) family) and effectively inhibit Bcl2. Disruption of apoptosis through enforced expression of Bcl2, or loss of either Bim or p53 function, enables wild-type MYC to produce lymphomas as efficiently as mutant MYC. These data show how parallel apoptotic pathways act together to suppress MYC-induced transformation, and how mutant MYC proteins, by selectively disabling a p53-independent pathway, enable ...
SAL is a Gb3 (Galα1-4Galβ1-4Glc)-binding lectin with three SUEL-type lectin domains which was purified from catfish eggs. The lectin depleted expression of mRNA coding multidrug resistant protein, MRP1, time- and dose-dependently through binding with Gb3 glycosphingolipid which is highly expressed on human Burkitts lymphoma Raji cells. This interaction inhibited the excretion of chemotherapy drugs. The administration of vincristine could effectively killed Raji cells even at l/10 lower concentration than the lethal-doses, if co-treatment with SAL was conducted. The Japanese Association for Marine Biology (JAMBIO) in MEXT Japan identified this research as a leading edge topic as part of their 2012 research activities reporting. These results were possible through the work of Assist. Profs. Yuki Fujii (Nagasaki International University and adjunct researcher of Yokonama City University) and Shigeki Sugawara (Tohoku Pharmaceutical University), Assoc. Prof. Sarkar M.

Impaired apoptosis is considered a prerequisite for the development of most, if not all, cancers, but the mechanisms that guarantee sustained survival of most cancer cells remain unknown. Members of the BCL-2 family of proteins are key regulators of apoptosis and include proteins essential for cell survival and those required to initiate cell death. Studies with transgenic mice have shown that over-expression of BCL-2 or related pro-survival family proteins, such as BCL-XL or MCL-1, can promote tumorigenesis, particularly in conjunction with mutations that deregulate cell cycle control, such as deregulated c-MYC expression. It is, however, not known whether expression of pro-survival BCL-2 family members under endogenous control is required to maintain survival of cells undergoing neoplastic transformation. Using Eµ-Myc transgenic mice, a well-characterized model of human Burkitts lymphoma, and other murine cancer models, we investigated the role of BCL-2 pro-survival proteins when expressed ...
In raising murine hybridoma antibodies against Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-induced membrane antigens (MA), we found one antibody that blocked the release of infectious EBV from cultured P3HR-1 cells. This monoclonal antibody (mAb) recognized a 200 kD, phosphonoacetic acid-sensitive (late) MA, and did not directly neutralize virus without complement. When this mAb was added to 33 degrees C-cultured, spontaneously EBV-producing P3HR-1 cells, the intracellular expression of viral capsid antigen and infectious virus was not inhibited, but the appearance of infectious virus in the culture medium was significantly reduced. The duration of this suppression was dependent upon the concentration of the mAb, an effect being observed to a 1:4 X 10(5) titer of the ascites mAb preparation. A more acute effect of suppression of EBV release was observed in a second model of 12-o-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate and n-butyrate induction of EBV in 37 degrees C-cultured P3HR-1 cells. Again, intracellular infectious ...
Endemic Burkitt is highly associated with EBV infection. , 30% of sporadic Burkitt lymphomas are EBV positive.. HIV-associated Burkitt is associated with HIV or other causes of immunodeficiency.. Epidemiology:. Endemic Burkitt lymphoma is endemic to equatorial Africa and South America. The sporadic and endemic types are more common in children while the HIV-associated type is more common in adults.. Clinical features:. Sporadic Burkitt often presents as an abdominal mass. It can be a cause for ileus. Endemic Burkitt usually presents as a mass in the maxilla or mandibula.. Pathology:. The tumor cells have very high rate of proliferation, and apoptosis is widespread. Tingible body macrophages phagocytose the apoptotic bodies, which causes the starry sky pattern on histology.. Treatment:. Burkitt tumours are highly chemosensitive. Patients with large tumours are at increased risk for tumor lysis syndrome.. ...

The Epstein-Barr Virus Capsid Antigen (VCA) IgM ELISA Kit is intended for the measurement of IgM antibodies to Epstein-Barr Virus Capsid Antigen (VCA) in a sample. This kit utilizes Epstein-Barr VCA antigen (P3H3 cell extract, cultured in human Burkitt lymphoma cells).
en] Paravertebral malignant tumors constitute 4.8% of cancer cases in pediatric oncology and are mostly composed of neuroblastoma (46.4%) and soft tissue sarcomas (35.7%). We describe the case of a Caucasian 6-year-old boy who was admitted for middle back pain radiated to limbs and progressively increasing weakness of the legs, suggesting a spinal cord disease. The exploration revealed two paravertebral masses extending through the neural foraminae into the epidural space. The association with elevated serum neuron specific enolase suggested at first the diagnosis of neuroblastoma, but the pathological examination revealed a Burkitts lymphoma. This is a rare location of sporadic Burkitts lymphoma with neurologic syndrome as first symptoms ...
Mild hyperthermia is known to enhance apoptosis in a range of normal and neoplastic cell populations. Studies of tumours previously shown to respond to heating in this manner might be expected to provide insights not only into the mechanism of hyperthermic cell killing, but also into the apoptotic process in general. In the present study, cell death induced by 43°C heating for 30 min in two human Burkitts lymphoma lines, BM 13674 and WW1, and in murine mastocytoma P‐815 × 2·1 was found to be exclusively apoptotic in type, identification being based on light and electron microscopic appearances and on the presence of internucleosomal cleavage of DNA into fragments that are multiples of 180-200 base pairs, which was demonstrated by agarose gel electrophoresis. The heat‐induced apoptosis was prevented by the presence of zinc sulphate, an inhibitor of the endonuclease considered to be responsible for the DNA cleavage, but was not suppressed by the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide. ...
Piperlongumine (PL), a pepper plant alkaloid from Piper longum, kills solid tumor cells in a highly selective, potent fashion. To evaluate whether PL may have similar effects on malignant blood cells, we determined the efficacy with which PL inhibits the B-lymphocyte derived neoplasm, Burkitt lymphoma (BL). Low micromolar concentrations of PL (IC50=2.8μM×8.5μM) curbed growth and survival of two EBV+ BL cell lines (Daudi, Raji) and two EBV BL cell lines (Ramos, DG-75), but left normal peripheral blood B-lymphocytes unharmed. PL-dependent cytotoxicity was effected in part by reduced NF-κB and MYC activity, with the former being caused by inhibition of IκBα degradation, nuclear translocation of p65, and binding of NF-κB dimers to cognate DNA sequences in gene promoters. In 4 of 4 BL cell lines, the NF-κB/MYC-regulated cellular target genes, E2F1 and MYB, were down regulated, while the stress sensor gene, GADD45B, was up regulated. The EBV-encoded oncogene, LMP-1, was suppressed in Daudi and ...
Malaria is widely perceived as immunosuppressive. Despite extensive phenomenological description, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly described. The aim of this thesis was to identify possible mechanisms by which malaria modifies host defence, and to determine the importance of these mechanisms in a translational system moving from a mouse model to human malaria. The most frequently cited immunological consequences of malaria are: suppression of vaccine responses, susceptibility to bacterial infection, susceptibility to endemic Burkitt lymphoma, and increased HIV viral load. Of these, susceptibility to non-Typhoid Salmonella (NTS) bacteremia, associated with severe hemolysis, was the most consistent between animal and human studies. I hypothesized that hemolysis would induce the immunomodulatory enzyme heme oxygenase-l (HO-l), which is essential for survival in malaria infections in mice, but might impair host defence against NTS. I demonstrate in mice that malaria, chemically-induced ...
A bispecific monoclonal antibody is made up of two different monoclonal antibodies that bind to two different substances and kills cancer cells. Bispecific monoclonal antibody therapy is used in the treatment of Burkitt and Burkitt-like lymphoma/leukemia and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) block signals that tumors need to grow. Some TKIs also keep tumors from growing by preventing the growth of new blood vessels to the tumors. Other types of kinase inhibitors, such as crizotinib, are being studied for childhood non-Hodgkin lymphoma.. Immunotoxins can bind to cancer cells and kill them. Denileukin diftitox is an immunotoxin used to treat cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.. Targeted therapy is being studied for the treatment of childhood non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has recurred (come back).. See Drugs Approved for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma for more information.. Other drug therapy. Retinoids are drugs related to vitamin A. Retinoid therapy with bexarotene is used to treat ...
Background: Germinal center-derived B cell lymphomas are tumors of the lymphoid tissues representing one of the most heterogeneous malignancies. Here we characterize the variety of transcriptomic phenotypes of this disease based on 873 biopsy specimens collected in the German Cancer Aid MMML (Molecular Mechanisms in Malignant Lymphoma) consortium. They include diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), Burkitts lymphoma, mixed FL/DLBCL lymphomas, primary mediastinal large B cell lymphoma, multiple myeloma, IRF4-rearranged large cell lymphoma, MYC-negative Burkitt-like lymphoma with chr. 11q aberration and mantle cell lymphoma. Methods: We apply self-organizing map (SOM) machine learning to microarray-derived expression data to generate a holistic view on the transcriptome landscape of lymphomas, to describe the multidimensional nature of gene regulation and to pursue a modular view on co-expression. Expression data were complemented by pathological, genetic and clinical ...

Burkitts lymphoma, Burkitts tumor A form of undifferentiated malignant lymphoma in humans and primates, especially marmosets and some gibbons. Usually found in central Africa, but also reported from other areas, and manifested most often as a large osteolytic lesion in the jaw or as an abdominal mass; called also African lymphoma. The Epstein-Barr virus (EB virus), a gammaherpes virus, has been isolated from Burkitts lymphoma cells in culture, and has been implicated as a causative agent. The same virus causes the relatively benign, though debilitating, disease infectious mononucleosis (glandular fever) of humans. Also known as Burkitts Lymphoma ...
Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is an aggressive monoclonal B-cell malignancy that is rare (sporadic) worldwide, but is 100-fold more common (endemic) in equatorial Africa, particularly among children. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and malaria are epidemiologically linked to endemic BL in epidemiologic studies, but questions remain about role of EBV variants and the evidence for association with malaria is weak. EBV is ubiquitous, yet only few children develop BL, possibly because only a few EBV variants are pathogenitically relevant. The association of BL with malaria is based on ecologic and non-comparative clinical studies. Two case-control studies have reported significant association of high anti-malarial antibodies with BL (OR=5_ among children in Uganda and in Malawi, but selection bias (cases and controls came from dissimilar geographical areas) and reverse causality bias were limitations. Three studies were conducted in the 1960s and 70s to test association of carriage of malaria-resistance gene with ...

Denis Parsons Burkitt FRS (28 February 1911 - 23 March 1993), surgeon, was born in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, Ireland. He was the son of James Parsons Burkitt, a civil engineer. Aged eleven he lost his right eye in an accident. He attended Portora Royal School in Enniskillen and Dean Close School, England. In 1929 Burkitt entered Trinity College, Dublin, to study engineering, but believing his evangelical calling was to be a doctor, he transferred to medicine. In 1938 he passed the Edinburgh Royal College of Surgeons fellowship examinations. On 28 July 1943 he married Olive Rogers. During World War II, Burkitt served with the Royal Army Medical Corps in England and later in Kenya and Somaliland. After the war, Burkitt decided his future lay in medical service in the developing world and he moved to Uganda. He eventually settled in Kampala and remained there until 1964. Burkitt made two major contributions to medical science related to his experience in Africa. The first was the description, ...

Incorporation of thalidomide, lenalidomide, and pomalidomide into the myeloma therapeutic armamentarium has contributed substantially to patient survival. Given the contributory role, EBV plays in approximately 50% of Hodgkin lymphoma, and reports of Hodgkin lymphoma in patients on lenalidomide-MT, we hypothesized that lenalidomide, and its analogues thalidomide and pomalidomide, may induce EBV reactivation. This hypothesis was further supported by the fact that the immunosuppressant methotrexate in nonmalignant diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis enhanced the risk of EBV-positive lymphomas (9). In this study, we found that LTP reactivated EBV in latently infected B-cell lines in the order of efficacy pomalidomide , lenalidomide , thalidomide. LCL cells were weakly inducible into lytic cycle, whereas Burkitt lymphoma cells were readily induced (Fig. 1). Combinations of ganciclovir with lenalidomide or pomalidomide enhanced the growth inhibitory effect in Burkitt lymphoma cells (Fig. 2C and ...
Eighty-four patients fulfilling the 1987 ACR criteria for RA and 22 patients with rheumatic conditions other than RA were studied. Sixty-nine healthy controls were chosen from bone marrow donors at the Marseille blood transfusion center. HLA-DR genotyping of patients and controls was performed by PCR-SSP. Real-time PCR was performed using a Roche LightCycler. A 214-bp fragment from the highly conserved long internal repeat IR1 was amplified. Two specific hybridization probes were used to recognize adjacent internal sequences within the target. EBV-positive Burkitts lymphoma cell line was used as an external standard. ...
Database of prospective cohort of Burkitt lymphoma patients at Kamuzu Central Hospital, Lilongwe, Malawi. Manuscript published in Blood Advances; Painschab, et al., 2019. ABSTRACT Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is common in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). In high-income countries, BL is highly curable with chemotherapy. However, there are few prospective studies from SSA describing non-pediatric BL and no regional standard of care. Thirty-five participants aged ≥15 years with newly diagnosed BL from 2013-2018 in Malawi were enrolled. Chemotherapy was administered according to local institutional guidelines, with concurrent antiretroviral therapy (ART) if HIV-infected. Median age was 21 (range 15-61) and 15 (43%) participants were HIV-infected. Twenty-seven (77%) participants had stage III/IV disease and 19 (54%) had ECOG performance status (PS) |1. Among HIV-infected, median CD4 count was 130 (range 29-605), and ten (67%) had suppressed HIV viral load. Four (11%) patients died before chemotherapy initiation. First

Induction of Epstein-Barr Virus Lytic Replication Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, Dr. Joyce Fingeroth Student Presenter: Anastasia Hyrina Project Advisor: Craig Woodard Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a member of the herpesvirus family and is one of the most common human viruses. In the United States, 95% of adults between 35 and 40 years of age have been infected with EBV1. EBV is the etiological agent of infectious mononucleosis and is associated with a number of diverse lymphomas and epithelial cancers, including African Burkitts lymphoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma and gastric malignancies2. Though EBV primarily infects B lymphocytes and epithelial cells, the sequence of infection is not well understood. In infected B cells, EBV establishes persistent latent infections. The latent state of the virus in a cell is characterized by expression of a small subset of viral genes and the latent membrane proteins, which are essential for induction and maintenance of cellular proliferation ...
BL occurs as an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) associated malignancy among children in the malaria belt of equatorial Africa (endemic BL),5 and sporadically in other geographical areas, where it also occurs among adults (sporadic BL).6,7 The most common site of involvement of endemic BL is the kidneys. Jaw tumours are age related with an overall incidence in Uganda of 50%.7 In contrast, the terminal ileum and lymph nodes are the more commonly involved sites in sporadic BL.8,9 A common translocation t(8;14) and the consequent c-myc rearrangement and overexpression have been identified in endemic and sporadic BL. However, some not very strict associations between JH and DH recombination have been identified at 14q32, with distant 5 c-myc recombination in endemic cases of BL, whereas in sporadic cases Sμ and Sα recombination was identified10 at 14q32, with near 5 or intronic c-myc recombination at 8q24. These differences between endemic and sporadic BL do not mean that each of these subtypes of ...

Background During B-cell development, precursor B-cells transiently express the pre-B-cell receptor composed of μ heavy chain complexed with VpreB and λ5 surrogate light chain polypeptides. Recent profiling studies unexpectedly revealed abundant transcripts of one member of the VpreB family, VpreB3, in a subset of mature B-cells and Burkitt lymphoma. Design and Methods Here, we used a novel antibody to investigate the normal expression pattern of VpreB3 protein in human hematolymphoid tissues, and determine whether VpreB3 can serve as a useful diagnostic biomarker for select B-cell lymphomas. Results We found that VpreB3 protein is normally expressed by precursor B-cells in bone marrow and by a subset of normal germinal center B-cells in secondary lymphoid organs. Among lymphoid malignancies, we found an association between VpreB3 expression and B-cell tumors with c-MYC abnormalities. VpreB3 was highly expressed in all cases of Burkitt lymphoma, whether of endemic or sporadic origin (44/44 ...
The Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS), also known as veno-occlusive disease (VOD), is a well-known complication of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, of the treatment of Wilms tumor and rhabdomyosarcoma and maintenance therapy of acute lymphoblastic leukemias. Its occurrence is rare in other cancers of the child. We report the observation of a 7-year-old girl with Burkitts lymphoma who developed a severe HSOS during her second induction treatment with dexamethasone, cisplatin, cytosine arabinoside. The evolution was fatal. This observation shows that the diagnosis of HSOS should not be excluded in the absence of the risk factors usually described.

al.. Superman and Captain America. Two strong characters, no doubt about that. These are the nicknames I gave two little premature infant boys I had helped take care of in the neonatal ICU spring 2007. Watching these tiny guys fight for their lives, grow, and go through various trials was routine to me. It was not routine for their mom and dad. I gave them these nicknames for fun. One day the mother asks me why I call Hagan Superman. I said, because he had strength he didnt even know he had.. I became ill January 14th, 2008 on a Monday evening at church.

For a balanced presentation, it is important to discuss the evidence in favor of the somatic-mutation theory. We present seven arguments used to support the somatic mutation theory and offer some alternative explanations related to the theory that the initiating event is a disruption of the morphostat gradient which then may be followed by genetic instability. The first four arguments rely on a recent review article on oncogenes and cancer [38] from which we quote extensively.. (1) The first evidence that cancer arises from somatic genetic alterations came from studies of Burkitts lymphoma, in which one of three different translocations juxtaposes an oncogene, MYC.... Since every malignant lymphocyte carries the MYC translocation, deregulation of the MYC oncogene is probably the initiating event [38]. An alternative interpretation is that the MYC translocation indicates a late-stage event in carcinogenesis after the disruption of the morphostat gradient.. (2) Second, transfection experiments ...
The incidence of AIDS-defining malignancies (ADMs) and NADMs has undergone a variety of changes in the ART era. Rates of ADMs, including NHL, have largely fallen [2-6], although within NHL there is an increasing proportion of Burkitt lymphomas [6, 7]. Additionally, the reported rates of HL, an NADM, have remained constant [4, 8-11] or increased [2, 3, 12-14]. Regardless, the risk for NHL and HL remains greater than for the general population [3, 15, 16]. For instance, the standardized incidence ratio of NHL in HIV-infected individuals from 1996 to 2002 was 22.6 [95% CI 20.8-24.6], as compared with that of the general population enrolled in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program registry [3]. In the Center for AIDS Research Network of Integrated Clinical Systems cohort, among incident cancer cases diagnosed in ART-treated patients from 1996 to 2009, NHL comprised 18%, primary central nervous systemNHL 3%, and HL 5% [17]. While hematologic malignancies did not represent ...
