Cell-surface CD74 initiates a signaling cascade leading to cell proliferation and survival.

TL;DR: It is shown that CD74 stimulation with anti-CD74 antibody leads to an induction of a signaling cascade resulting in NF-kappaB activation, entry of the stimulated cells into the S phase, elevation of DNA synthesis, cell division, and augmented expression of BCL-X(L).
Journal ArticleDOI

IL-8 secreted in a macrophage migration-inhibitory factor- and CD74-dependent manner regulates B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia survival

TL;DR: Analysis of molecular mechanism regulated by CD74 in B-CLL cells shows that activation of cell-surface CD74, expressed at high levels from an early stage of the disease by its natural ligand, macrophage migration-inhibition factor (MIF), initiates a signaling cascade that contributes to tumor progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

CD74 is a novel transcription regulator

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that CD74’s cytoplasmic domain binds chromatin and regulates transcription and expression of genes involved in immune regulation, cell survival, and hematopoietic cancers and that identifying targets of CD74 will help in understanding of essential pathways regulating B-cell survival in health and disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Primary Effusion Lymphoma (PEL) in HIV-Negative Patients - a Distinct Clinical Entity

TL;DR: Analysis of these rare cases suggests HIV-negative EBV-negative PEL to be a distinct clinical entity with epidemiological features resembling classical KS and supports anEBV-independent role for HHV-8 in the pathogenesis of PEL.
