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.

Bruton tyrosine kinase represents a promising therapeutic target for treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and is effectively targeted by PCI-32765.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that BTK protein and mRNA are significantly over expressed in CLL compared with normal B cells, and future efforts targeting BTK with the irreversible inhibitor PCI-32765 in clinical trials of CLL patients is warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Perinatal lethality and blocked b-cell development in mice lacking the tyrosine kinase syk

TL;DR: It is shown that Syk is not required for signalling through the IL-2 and G-CSF receptors, and a possible role for this protein in the production or maintenance of mature B cells is suggested.

CAL-101, a p110δ selective phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase inhibitor for the treatment of B-cell malignancies, inhibits PI3K signaling and cellular viability

TL;DR: Using tumor cell lines and primary patient samples representing multiple B-cell malignancies, it is demonstrated that constitutive phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase pathway activation is p110δ-dependent, providing a rationale for the ongoing clinical evaluation of CAL-101.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blood-derived nurse-like cells protect chronic lymphocytic leukemia B cells from spontaneous apoptosis through stromal cell-derived factor-1.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the blood of patients with CLL contains cells that can differentiate into adherent nurse-like cells that protect leukemia cells from undergoing spontaneous apoptosis through an SDF-1–dependent mechanism.

Cellular and genetic mechanisms of self tolerance and autoimmunity

TL;DR: The mammalian immune system has an extraordinary potential for making receptors that sense and neutralize any chemical entity entering the body, and cellular mechanisms have evolved to control the activity of these ‘forbidden’ receptors and achieve immunological self tolerance.
