Burkitt Lymphoma (BL) cells are highly sensitive to suboptimal growth conditions and undergo apoptosis when seeded at low cell density or reduced serum concentration. Irradiated fibroblasts or a mix of pruvate, alpha-thioglycerol, and bathocuproine disulfonate can protect BL cells from apoptosis
Burkitt lymphoma (BL) cells are highly sensitive to suboptimal growth conditions and undergo apoptosis when seeded at reduced serum concentration or low cell density. Irradiated fibroblasts can protect BL cells from apoptosis induced by lowering the serum concentration or cell density through
Germinal centres are important sites for antibody diversification and affinity maturation, and are also a common origin of B cell malignancies. Despite being made up of motile cells, germinal centres are tightly confined within B cell follicles. The cues that promote this confinement are
Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a rapidly growing tumor, characterized by high anabolic requirements. The MYC oncogene plays a central role in the pathogenesis of this malignancy, controlling genes involved in apoptosis, proliferation, and cellular metabolism. Serine biosynthesis pathway (SBP)
A novel kind of redox-responsive polymeric drug delivery system has been designed and prepared successfully through the coupling of the multithiol branched polymers and thiol-containing drugs. The branched poly((S-(4-vinyl) benzyl S'-propyltrithiocarbonate)-co-(poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate))
OBJECTIVE
Aberrant promoter methylation targets CpG islands causing gene silencing. We explored aberrant promoter methylation of genes potentially involved in B-cell malignancies and encoding proteins implicated in DNA repair (O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase, MGMT), detoxification of
A human Burkitt lymphoma cell line, Raji-HN2, made 10-fold more resistant to nitrogen mustard (HN2) than the parental Raji cell line, exhibited the following characteristics when compared to the parental Raji cells: (i) decreased HN2-induced DNA interstrand crosslinking; (ii) increased (3-fold) DNA
OBJECTIVE
To detect the relationship between sensitivity of malignant hematopoietic cells to arsenic trioxide (As2O3) and cellular capacity against oxidation.
METHODS
Nine cell lines derived from hematopoietic malignancies were treated with As2O3 in vitro. Apoptosis was assessed by cellular
Increasing the levels of CD20 expression in cells that harbor low CD20 levels may enhance their responsiveness to CD20-specific antibody therapies. Here, we examined the regulation of CD20 expression after treatment with 0.5-2.0 Gy X-irradiation and hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), in the presence or
We searched for cellular proteins that interact with Epstein-Barr (EBV) virus nuclear antigen-1, which is a latent EBV origin-binding protein detected in all EBV latently infected cells and essential for maintenance of the latent EBV genome, by a yeast two-hybrid screening of a B lymphocyte cDNA
The ability of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latent infection nuclear protein EBNA3C to activate transcription of two EBNA2-responsive genes and to inhibit EBNA2 activation of transcription in transient-transfection assays appears to be due to its ability to interact with RBPJkappa, a cell protein that
The p53 tumor-suppressor protein has previously been shown to bind double-stranded and single-stranded DNA. We report that the p53 protein can bind single-stranded DNA ends and catalyze DNA renaturation and DNA strand transfer. Both a bacterially expressed wild-type p53 protein and a glutathione
