==Overview==
It is understood that there are different factors that have important roles in the pathogenesis of B-cell lymphomas including [[reciprocal translocations]] that occur between one of the [[immunoglobulin]] loci and [[proto-oncogene]], the selection for expression of a B-cell receptor (BCR) that promotes survival, increased survival and [[proliferation]] of B-cells mediated by [[antigen]] binding, and [[malignant]] interaction between B-cells and other cells in the tumor microenvironment. [[Chromosomal translocation]]s involving the immunoglobulin heavy locus (IGH@) is a classic cytogenetic abnormality for many B-cell lymphomas, including [[follicular lymphoma]], [[mantle cell lymphoma]], [[diffuse large B cell lymphoma]], [[MALT lymphoma]], [[lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma]], [[multiple myeloma]], and [[Burkitt's lymphoma]].

Overview

It is understood that there are different factors that have important roles in the pathogenesis of B-cell lymphomas including reciprocal translocations that occur between one of the immunoglobulin loci and proto-oncogene, the selection for expression of a B-cell receptor (BCR) that promotes survival, increased survival and proliferation of B-cells mediated by antigen binding, and malignant interaction between B-cells and other cells in the tumor microenvironment. Chromosomal translocations involving the immunoglobulin heavy locus (IGH@) is a classic cytogenetic abnormality for many B-cell lymphomas, including follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, diffuse large B cell lymphoma, MALT lymphoma, lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and Burkitt's lymphoma.

Pathophysiology

Physiology

The normal physiology of B-cells can be understood as follows:

  • Development of mature B-cells include:
    • B-cells develop from hematopoietic stem cells originating from bone marrow. B-cell development occurs in the bone marrow through several steps including the ordered rearrangement of [[IGH@|Ig H] and L chain loci (i.e., VDJ recombination), positive selection, and negative selection.[1]
    • B-cell surface consists of membrane-bound Ig, complement component receptors, Fc receptors, and B cell-specific cell surface molecules representing by CDs (i.e., CD19, CD20, CD21, etc.).
    • Immature (transitional) B-cells migrate from the bone marrow to secondary lymphoid organs (i.e., lymph nodes, spleen) for activation. Activation begins with either T-cell dependent or T-cell independent. T-cell-dependent B-cell activation begins with the binding of the B-cell receptor (BCR) to the T-cell-dependent antigen. T-cell independent B-cell activation begins with BCR crosslinking through polysaccharides or via BCR and toll-like receptor (TLR) costimulation. Following the activation, further maturation steps including germinal center reaction (i.e., clonal expansion, class switch recombination, somatic hypermutation, affinity maturation) occur.[2][1]
    • B-cells can be divided into 3 main types include: B1 B-lymphoctes (originates from fetal liver), marginal zone (MZ) B2 B-lymphocyes, and follicular (FO) B2 B-lymphocytes.[3]
    • B-cells complete their maturation by differention into memory B cells or antibody-secreting plasma cells.

Genetics

Chromosomal translocations involving the immunoglobulin heavy locus (IGH@) is a classic cytogenetic abnormality for many B-cell lymphomas, including follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, diffuse large B cell lymphoma, MALT lymphoma, lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and Burkitt's lymphoma. In these cases, the immunoglobulin heavy locus forms a fusion protein with another protein that has pro-proliferative or anti-apoptotic abilities. The enhancer element of the immunoglobulin heavy locus, which normally functions to make B cells produce massive production of antibodies, now induces massive transcription of the fusion protein, resulting in excessive pro-proliferative or anti-apoptotic effects on the B cells containing the fusion protein.
