LYN Kinase in the Tumor Microenvironment Is Essential for the Progression of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that LYN kinase is essential for CLL progression and syngeneic CLL transplantation of CLL cells into Lyn- or Btk-deficient recipients results in a strongly delayed leukemic progression and prolonged survival.

Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors: first and second generation agents for patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL).

TL;DR: Ibrutinib is effective in both low- and high-risk CLL patients, achieving durable remissions with continuous therapy in the majority of patients, and second-generation BTK inhibitors are being developed, with different and generally more BTK-selective kinase inhibition profiles, which may increase the safety and/or efficacy.

PI3K Signaling in Normal B Cells and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)

TL;DR: The central role of PI3Ks in mediating signals from the B cell receptor that not only facilitate the development of functional B cell repertoire, but also support the growth and survival of neoplastic B cells are reviewed, focusing on chronic lymphocytic leukemia (chronic lymphocytics leukemia (CLL)) B cells.

Unmutated Ig V(H) genes are associated with a more aggressive form of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors sequenced the Ig V(H) genes of the tumor cells of 84 patients with CLL and correlated their findings with clinical features, finding that the lack of somatic mutation and trisomy 12 was associated with a less favorable prognosis.
