Gene-expression profile in a series of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients

ABSTRACT: PIM serine/threonine kinases are overexpressed, translocated or amplified in multiple B-cell lymphoma types. We have explored the frequency and relevance of PIM expression in different B-cell lymphoma types, and investigated whether PIM inhibition could be a rational therapeutic approach. Increased expression of PIM2 was detected in subsets of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBLC), follicular lymphoma (FL), marginal zone lymphoma-MALT type (MZL-MALT), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and nodal marginal zone lymphoma (NMZL) cases. Increased PIM2 protein expression was associated with an aggressive clinical course in ABC-DLBCL patients. Pharmacological and genetic inhibition of PIM2 revealed p4E-BP1(Thr37/46) and p4E-BP1(Ser65) as molecular biomarkers characteri
