Background: The sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) pathway is essential for maintaining sterol homeostasis during B cell activation and germinal center B cell proliferation. However, its potential as a therapeutic target to treat B-cell lymphoma remains unclear.
Methods: We examined SREBP protein expression in human B-cell lymphoma samples using immunohistochemistry. Additionally, we conducted in vitro studies using SREBP signaling inhibitors in combination with rapamycin to assess their effects on cell proliferation and lipid metabolism in B-cell lymphoma cells.
Results: Our analysis revealed high levels of SREBP2 protein expression in human B-cell lymphoma samples. Inhibiting SREBP signaling or its downstream target HMG-CoA reductase (HMGCR) with Fatostatin or Simvastatin effectively suppressed B-cell lymphoma cell proliferation. However, B-cell lymphoma cells responded to statin treatment by activating the mTORC1-pS6 pathway, suggesting a compensatory mechanism to overcome statin-induced cell cycle arrest. Combining low-dose statin treatment with the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin produced a synergistic effect, significantly inhibiting B-cell lymphoma proliferation, cell cycle progression, and lipid raft formation.
Conclusions: These results highlight the potential of a combined therapeutic approach targeting both SREBP and mTORC1 as a novel strategy for treating B-cell lymphoma.

Background: Aluminium chloride, an environmental toxicant induces neurotoxicity by increasing anxiety, causing cognitive deficit and memory impairment due to its effects on the hippocampus. Omega-3 oil has been shown to improve cognition in neurologic disorders.
Method: Forty adult female rats were divided into 4 groups (n = 10).

While outcomes for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) have improved dramatically in recent decades, relapsed and refractory disease remain a significant therapeutic challenge. This is particularly true for patients with T-cell ALL and LBL, where survival for patients with relapsed/refractory disease remains dismal. Recent efforts to comprehensively profile the genomics of T-ALL/LBL to improve understanding of disease biology have enhanced our ability to identify high-risk patients at diagnosis who are more likely to relapse and have also identified novel targets for precision medicines.

ALK-positive large B-cell lymphoma (ALK+ LBCL) is a rare neoplasm with an aggressive course and poor therapeutic response to the standard R-CHOP regimen. Owing to its negativity for usual B- and T-cell markers and immunopositivity for epithelial markers, it can be easily misdiagnosed if it is not contemplated. To study the clinicopathological parameters of cases of ALK+ LBCL diagnosed at our institution.

The risk of T cell malignancies after chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is a concern, although the true incidence remains unclear. Here we analyzed the DESCAR-T registry database, encompassing all pediatric and adult patients with hematologic malignancies who received CAR T cell therapy in France since 1 July 2018. Of the 3,066 patients included (2,536 B cell lymphoma, 162 B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and 368 multiple myeloma), 1,680 (54.

Primary hepatic lymphoma (PHL) is a lymphoproliferative disorder confined to the liver, with no evidence of lymphomatous involvement in other organs. Here, we report a case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)-type PHL in a patient with a long history of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and Sjögren's syndrome (SS). A 78-year-old woman presented with epigastralgia and was found to have a solitary liver tumor by contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT).
