TLDR
The evolution of this field is discussed, from BCR-related prognostic markers, to mechanisms of BCR activation, and targeting of B CR-associated kinases, the emerging Achilles' heel in CLL pathogenesis.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia: 2017 update on diagnosis, risk stratification, and treatment

TL;DR: A large number of patients diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia have a history of atypical clinical course, suggesting that the disease typically occurs in elderly patients and has a highly variable clinical course.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia: 2015 Update on diagnosis, risk stratification, and treatment.

TL;DR: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is the commonest leukemia in western countries and typically occurs in elderly patients and has a highly variable clinical course.

Targeting B cell receptor signalling in cancer: preclinical and clinical advances

TL;DR: B cells and B CR-related kinases also play a role in the microenvironment of solid tumours, such as squamous cell carcinoma and pancreatic cancer, and therefore targeting B cells or BCR- related kinases may have anticancer activity beyond B cell malignancies.
Journal ArticleDOI

The molecular pathogenesis of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia

TL;DR: This Review focuses on recent insights into the understanding of CLL biology, with emphasis on the role of genetic lesions in the initiation and clinical progression of Cll.

Impaired B and T Cell Antigen Receptor Signaling in p110δ PI 3-Kinase Mutant Mice

TL;DR: Results reveal a selective role for p110δ in immunity and suggest second messenger signals downstream of tyrosine kinases influence cell metabolism, growth, proliferation, differentiation, motility, and survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

BCL-6 represses genes that function in lymphocyte differentiation, inflammation, and cell cycle control.

TL;DR: Inhibition of BCL-6 function initiated changes indicative of plasmacytic differentiation, including decreased expression of c-Myc and increased expression of the cell cycle inhibitor p27kip1, which suggest that malignant transformation by B CL-6 involves inhibition of differentiation and enhanced proliferation.

Mutation of unique region of Bruton's tyrosine kinase in immunodeficient XID mice

TL;DR: The Btk gene, btk, was mapped to the xid region of the mouse X chromosome by interspecific backcross analysis and a single conserved residue within the amino terminal unique region of Btk was mutated in XID mice, probably interferes with normal B cell signaling mediated by Btk protein interactions.
