• W1998879991 abstract "several reasons: CLL cells have the phenotypic profile of antigen experienced B cells [8, 9]. These experimental observations are corroborated by the notion that the expression of ZAP-70, a molecule involved in B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling, is overexpressed in a subset of patients with poor prognosis [10]. In addition, the leukemic B cells of patients with CLL express a restricted immunoglobulin heavy variable (IGHV) gene repertoire. In a study of 916 Mediterranean CLL patients, almost 22% expressed IGHV genes which belonged to one of 48 different subsets of sequences with stereotyped heavy chain complementarity-determining regions (HCDR3) [11]. To date, over 100 stereotyped receptors are identified [12]. These receptors are characterized by an intrinsic polyreactivity in IGHV unmutated CLL and, to a lesser degree, in IGHV mutated CLL [13]. Recent studies suggest cytoskeletal structures such as nonmuscle myosin heavy chain IIA and vimentin [14], neo-epitopes created by chemical modifications occurring naturally during apoptosis [15] and microbial antigens [16, 17] as potential naturally occurring epitopes. Reactivity of the CLL BCR to prostate tissue was demonstrated in a study utilizing CLL derived IgM molecules. These IgM specifically bound prostate cells and blocked binding of CLL cells to prostate cells [18]. Intriguingly, that particular patient presented with urinary obstructive syndrome and had leukemic prostate infiltration, indicating that tropism to the prostate might be mediated by the CLL BCR. In this issue of OnkOlOgie, Fehr and colleagues [19] report the presentation and management of two patients with urinary obstructive syndromes caused by an unusual primary manifestation of SLL/ CLL in the prostate. No information is given about the IGHV mutation status, the VDJ composition and the CDR3 of the patients’ clone specific BCR. However, giving the importance of BCR signaling in the pathogenesis of the disease, the idea of a prostate specific antigenic repertoire in these patients warrants further investigation. Formerly described as a homogeneous disease with relentlessly accumulating tumor cells due to resistance to apoptosis, the biological background of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is seen more differentiated nowadays. Biological characteristics of the tumor cells not only allow estimating the patient’s individual prognosis but also help to decipher the pathomechanisms of the disease. Cytogenetic aberrations can be detected in up to 80% of patients [1]. A frequently detected chromosomal aberration is a deletion on the long arm of chromosome 13 that affects the microRNA gene cluster mir-15a and mir-16-1 located in this region [2]. As an early event in the pathogenesis of the disease, the down-regulation or deletion of this cluster is discussed. Intriguingly, it has been experimentally shown that the expression of these microRNAs inversely correlates with bcl-2 expression, an anti-apoptotic protein overexpressed in CLL [2]. Although genetic lesions are important in predisposing leukemic B lymphocytes to prolonged survival and persistence in vivo, CLL blood cells typically undergo apoptosis when cultured in vitro, indicating that the in vivo accumulation of leukemic lymphocytes is also favored by other factors probably originating from the microenvironment. In addition, in vivo kinetic analyses and numerous experimental data such as investigations on telomerase activity and telomere length as well as CD38 expression analyses revealed that CLL is not only a disease of accumulation but a dynamic process with an appreciable level of cell turnover [3–6]. Proliferative events seem to occur in tissues where leukemic cells are able to exploit microenvironment interactions in order to avoid apoptosis and acquire better growth conditions [7]. Next to provision of cytokines and direct cellular interaction, a key element among stimulating microenvironmental factors seems to be signaling through the clone specific B-cell receptor (BCR), a mechanism that has been investigated for" @default.
