Multilevel Deregulation of Survival Mechanisms In Npm-Alk+ T-Cell Lymphoma
<p>The anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a single chain transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase that belongs to the insulin receptor superfamily. Other members of this superfamily include the insulin receptor (IR), type I insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-IR), and the leukocyte tyrosine …

Searching for the missing T Cell Receptor (TCR) in Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL): Surplus to requirements or a protagonist in lymphomagenesis?
… entities: ALCL, Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK)+, ALCL ALK- and cutaneous ALCL. In the majority of ALCL, ALK+, ALK is expressed as the result of a chromosomal translocation generating Nucleophosmin 1(NPM)-ALK, which is considered the main driver. ALCL have an unusual immunophenotype; they …

Novel treatment strategy for ALK-positive Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma
Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK)-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterised by a chromosomal rearrangement [t(2;5) (p23;q25)] involving the ALK and NPM1 genes on chromosomes 2 and 5 respectively. This translocation generates the NPM-ALK fusion …

Investigating the genome of Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase-positive Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma
… hyperactivation of Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) as the consequence of a chromosomal translocation. Patients diagnosed with ALCL are still treated with toxic multi-agent chemotherapy and as many as 25-50% of patients relapse. It is clear that continued adaption of current therapies will …

Studying the Transcriptional and Epigenetic Perturbations of Haematopathologies Expressing NPM1-ALK
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a tyrosine kinase involved in the development of the gut and nervous system, initially cloned from cases of T-cell lymphoma. ALK has been frequently implicated in diverse cancers through oncogenic translocations, mutations, chromosomal inversion, or amplification …
