Objective: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Invasive DLBCL cells are likely to metastasize into extranodal tissue (e.g.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of cancer-related fatigue (CRF) in patients with lymphoma and to explore the burden of CRF on the family caregivers (FCs).

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a university-affiliated tertiary care hospital in China. Patients with lymphoma who received treatment in the in-patient ward of the Haematology Department were consecutively recruited.

Purpose: HDAC3, which is associated with smurf2, has been shown to be associated with poor prognosis in B-ALL. This study examined the efficacy of targeting HDAC3 combined with MG-132 as a possible therapeutic strategy for B-ALL patients.

Methods: Real-time PCR and western blot were used to measure the expression of smurf2 and HDAC3 from B-ALL patients bone marrow samples.

Background: Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) can progress to acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and conventional chemotherapy (decitabine) does not effectively inhibit tumor cells. Enhancer of zeste homologue 2 (EZH2) and Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) are two key factors in patients resistance and deterioration.

Methods: In total, 58 MDS patients were divided into four groups.

TP53 mutation is an indicator of poor prognostic in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Worse still, CLL patients with TP53 mutation are associated with poor efficacy to current chemotherapeutic, such as Fludarabine. Here, we confirmed that high expression of HDAC1 in CLL patients with TP53 mutation, which is closely related to poor prognosis and drug-resistance.

Imatinib (IM) resistance has become a critical problem for the treatment of patients with relapsed chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), so novel therapies are in need. Various isotypes of protein kinases C (PKCs) are up-regulated in CML and related with BCR-ABL regulating several signalling pathways that are crucial to malignant cellular transformation. However, it is still unknown whether PKC isotypes play crucial roles in IM resistance.

Article Synopsis
  • Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of adult lymphoma, characterized by various clinical manifestations and prognoses, highlighting the need for new therapeutic targets.
  • LMK-235, a specific histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) targeting HDAC4 and HDAC5, shows promise in promoting apoptosis in DLBCL cell lines through up-regulation of BCLAF1 via NF-κB signaling pathways.
  • Combining an NF-κB inhibitor with siRNA targeting HDAC4 significantly enhances BCLAF1 expression and apoptosis in DLBCL cells, suggesting BCLAF1 as a potential therapeutic target for treatment.
