EBV-associated T/NK–cell lymphoproliferative diseases in nonimmunocompromised hosts: prospective analysis of 108 cases

TL;DR: Age at onset of disease and liver dysfunction were risk factors for mortality, whereas patients who received transplantation had a better prognosis, and insight into the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for distinct disease is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

TL;DR: In patients with localized DLBCL, available randomized trials suggest that radiation therapy improves local control and disease-free survival and that the addition of radiation therapy cannot replace inadequate chemotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

The biology and treatment of plasmablastic lymphoma

TL;DR: The objectives of this review are to summarize the current knowledge on the epidemiology, biology, clinical and pathological characteristics, differential diagnosis, therapy, prognostic factors, outcomes, and potential novel therapeutic approaches in patients with PBL and also to increase the awareness toward PBL in the medical community.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epstein–Barr virus-associated lymphomas

TL;DR: Recent developments in the understanding of EBV-associated lymphomagenesis in both the immunocompetent and Immunocompromised host are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Global Landscape of EBV-Associated Tumors.

TL;DR: The main characteristics of these tumors, their distinct epidemiologies, histological features and degrees of EBV association are described, then how their different patterns ofEBV latency may reflect the alternative latency programmes through which the virus first colonizes and then persists in immunocompetent host is considered.

Radical causes of cancer

TL;DR: Understanding the association between chronic inflammation and cancer provides insights into the molecular mechanisms involved and highlights the interaction between nitric oxide and p53 as a crucial pathway in inflammatory-mediated carcinogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of Virus-Encoded MicroRNAs

TL;DR: The small RNA profile of cells infected by Epstein-Barr virus is recorded and it is shown that EBV expresses several microRNA (miRNA) genes, which are identified viral regulators of host and/or viral gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Induction of bcl-2 expression by Epstein-Barr virus latent membrane protein 1 protects infected B cells from programmed cell death.

TL;DR: By DNA transfection into human B cells, it is shown that protection from apoptosis is conferred through expression of a single EBV latent protein, the latent membrane protein LMP 1, and it is demonstrated that L MP 1 mediates this effect by up-regulating expression of the cellular oncogene bcl-2.

Inositol phosphatase SHIP1 is a primary target of miR-155.

TL;DR: This study unveils a molecular link between miR-155 and SHIP1 and provides evidence that repression ofSHIP1 is an important component of miR -155 biology.
