Targeting c-Myc stability in c-Myc overexpressing large B-cell lymphoma
Project Summary Double (DH) and triple-hit (TH) lymphomas (L) are rare high grade B-cell lymphomas with diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL) morphology characterized by the co-occurrence of chromosomal translocations involving MYC, BCL2, and/or BCL6. DLBCLs with dual c-Myc (>40% by immunohistochemistry, IHC) and BCL2 (>50% by IHC) protein overexpression without translocation (double-expressor or DEL) are significantly more common than DH/THL, accounting for 20% to 30% of DLBCL patients. Lymphoma with either DEL, DHL, or THL are here collectively called c-Myc overexpressing LBCL and have a significantly worse prognosis compared to the c- Myc-negative counterpart [3-year overall survival of ~30%…
