TLDR
It is suggested that CD99 molecules play a crucial role in regulating functions and morphology of cells through a Rac-Rho signaling pathway and that the loss of CD99 expression is a significant molecular event to generate H-RS cells.

Hodgkin disease: Hodgkin andReed-Sternberg cells picked from histological sections showclonal immunoglobulin gene rearrangements andappear tobederived fromB cells atvarious stages ofdevelopment

TL;DR: In this article, the authors isolated HRScells by micromanipulation fromhistologicalsections of three cases ofHodgkinlymphoma and analyzed individual cells for immunoglobulin variable (V) gene rear-rangements by PCR.

Epstein-Barr virus-associated lymphoproliferative disorders.

TL;DR: A review of EBV-associated lymphoproliferative disorders, dividing them into B-cell, T/NK-cell and HIV-related lymphoplastic disorders, is presented in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epstein–Barr virus-associated Hodgkin's lymphoma

TL;DR: Increased knowledge of the virus’ role in the basic biology of HL may generate novel therapeutic strategies for EBV‐positive HL and the presence of EBV•latent antigens in the malignant HL cells may represent a target for cellular immunotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular biology of Hodgkin lymphoma

TL;DR: Inactivating mutations in the TNFAIP3 tumor suppressor gene, encoding a negative regulator of NF-kappaB activity, were recently identified in about 40% of patients with classical HL.

Rho, Rac, and Cdc42 GTPases regulate the assembly of multimolecular focal complexes associated with actin stress fibers, lamellipodia, and filopodia

TL;DR: It is reported here that cdc42, another member of the rho family, triggers the formation of a third type of actin-based structure found at the cell periphery, filopodia, in addition to stress fibers, and rho controls the assembly of focal adhesion complexes.

The small GTP-binding protein rac regulates growth factor-induced membrane ruffling.

TL;DR: It is proposed that rac and rho are essential components of signal transduction pathways linking growth factors to the organization of polymerized actin and that growth factors act through rac to stimulate this rho-dependent response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rho GTPases and signaling networks

TL;DR: The Rho GTPases form a subgroup of the Ras superfamily of 20- to 30-kD GTP-binding proteins that have been shown to regulate a wide spectrum of cellular functions, and some of the more recent exciting findings hinting at novel, unanticipated functions of the RhoGTPases are summarized.

The expression of the Hodgkin's disease associated antigen Ki-1 in reactive and neoplastic lymphoid tissue: evidence that Reed-Sternberg cells and histiocytic malignancies are derived from activated lymphoid cells.

TL;DR: Results obtained indicate that Ki-1 antigen is an inducible lymphoid-associated molecule that identifies a group of hitherto poorly characterized normal and neoplastic large lymphoid cells in Hodgkin's disease and Disorders in which only a minority of cells express Ki- 1 antigen probably represent lesions in whichonly some of the abnormal cells have transformed into an "activation state.
