Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is specifically associated with t(11;18)(q21;q21), t(1;14)(p22;q32) and t(14;18)(q32;q21). t(11;18)(q21;q21) fuses the N-terminus of the API2 gene to the C-terminus of the MALT1 gene and generates a functional API2-MALT1 product. t(1;14)(p22;q32) and t(14;18)(q32;q21) bring the BCL10 and MALT1 genes respectively to the IGH locus and deregulate their expression. The oncogenic activity of the three chromosomal translocations is linked by the physiological role of BCL10 and MALT1 in antigen receptor-mediated NFkappaB activation. In this study, MALT1 and BCL10 expression was examined in normal lymphoid tissues and 423 cases of MALT lymphoma from eight sites, and their expression was correlated with the above translocations, which were detected by molecular and molecular cytogenetic methods. In normal B-cell follicles, both MALT1 and BCL10 were expressed predominantly in the cytoplasm, high in centroblasts, moderate in centrocytes and weak/negative in mantle zone B-cells. In MALT lymphoma, MALT1 and BCL10 expression varied among cases with different chromosomal translocations. In 9/9 MALT lymphomas with t(14;18)(q32;q21), tumour cells showed strong homogeneous cytoplasmic expression of both MALT1 and BCL10. In 12/12 cases with evidence of t(1;14)(p22;q32) or variants, tumour cells expressed MALT1 weakly in the cytoplasm but BCL10 strongly in the nuclei. In all 67 MALT lymphomas with t(11;18)(q21;q21), tumour cells expressed weak cytoplasmic MALT1 and moderate nuclear BCL10. In MALT lymphomas without the above translocations, both MALT1 and BCL10, in general, were expressed weakly in the cytoplasm. Real-time quantitative RT-PCR showed a good correlation between MALT1 and BCL10 mRNA expression and underlining genetic changes, with t(14;18)(q32;q21)- and t(1;14)(p22;q32)-positive cases displaying the highest MALT1 and BCL10 mRNA expression respectively. These results show that MALT1 expression pattern is identical to that of BCL10 in normal lymphoid tissues but varies in MALT lymphomas, with high cytoplasmic expression of both MALT1 and BCL10 characterizing those with t(14;18)(q32;q21).

Dectin-1, a C-type lectin, plays important roles in the induction of antifungal immunity. Caspase recruitment domain-containing protein 9 (CARD9) is essential for the dectin-1-induced production of cytokines through the activation of NF-κB. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the dectin-1-mediated activation of CARD9 have not been fully elucidated.

The immune system plays a critical role in inflammation by initiating responses to infections or tissue damage. The nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway plays a key role in inflammation and innate immunity, as well as other cellular activities. Dysregulation of this well-choreographed pathway has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer.

A20 is a dual-function ubiquitin-editing enzyme that maintains immune homeostasis by restraining inflammation. Although A20 serves a similar negative feedback function for T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling, the molecular mechanisms utilized and their ultimate impact on human T-cell function remain unclear. TCR engagement triggers the assembly of the CARD11-BCL10-MALT1 (CBM) protein complex, a signaling platform that governs the activation of downstream transcription factors including NF-κB and c-Jun/AP-1.

Article Synopsis
- Pyroptosis is a form of cell death contributing to heart damage during ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, but the mechanisms behind it are still not fully understood.
- The study investigates how Sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling, which is activated during I/R events, protects the heart by reducing pyroptosis through the caspase recruitment domain-containing protein 10 (CARD10)-B-cell lymphoma 10 (BCL10)-mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 (MALT1) complex.
- Findings suggest that inhibiting SHH signaling lessens heart damage by decreasing caspase-11-dependent pyroptosis and reducing formation of the CBM complex,

Rare mutations in CARD14 promote psoriasis by inducing CARD14-BCL10-MALT1 complexes that activate NF-κB and MAP kinases. Here, the downstream signalling mechanism of the highly penetrant CARD14E138A alteration is described. In addition to BCL10 and MALT1, CARD14E138A associated with several proteins important in innate immune signalling.
