Resveratrol as a BCL6 natural inhibitor suppresses germinal center derived Non-Hodgkin lymphoma cells growth.

ABSTRACT: Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL), including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), Burkitt lymphoma (BL), and follicular lymphoma (FL), predominantly arise from B cells undergoing germinal center (GC) reactions. The transcriptional repressor B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) is indispensable for GC formation and contributes to lymphomagenesis via its BTB domain-mediated suppression of target genes. Dysregulation of BCL6 underpins the pathogenesis of GC-derived NHL. While pharmacological targeting the BCL6-BTB domain has shown therapeutic promise, natural product-based inhibitors remain underexplored. In this study, resveratrol, a polyphenolic compound derived from grapes, was identified as a potent BCL6 inhibitor through a comprehensive screen of traditional Chinese medicine monomers using Homogeneous T
