Abstract:
B-cell lymphoma is the type of lymphoma with the highest incidence,in which most cases are mature B-cell lymphomas,and it has unique epidemiological,clinical pathological,and molecular genetic characteristics.Current research has found that B-cell receptor (BCR) signal transduction is a key pathway for tumor cell proliferation.However,the activation modes and degrees of BCR differ among different types of B-cell lymphoma,including viral/exogenous antigen stimulation,self-antigen stimulation,and mutations in relevant sites of the BCR pathway.At the same time,targeted drugs that target BCR pathway,such as Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK),spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK),and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) selectively inhibit BCR signaling,and these drugs can improve clinical outcomes of B-cell lymphoma.In this article,we will review the activation of BCR and related treatment in different types of B-cell lymphoma.
