Abstract:Diffuse large Bcell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common malignant lymphoma in China, which mostly starting from the lymph nodes. The studies find that the expression of NLRC5, member of nucleotidebinding oligomerization domainlike receptor (NLR) family, is evident in the lymphoid cells, which is likely to be an important basis for lymphocyte tumorigenesis. NLRC5 can block the nuclear factorκB (NFκB), a core component of signal transduction pathway, and affect the development of tumor. While continuing activation of NFκB is a necessary condition for DLBCL cell survival. Therefore, NLRC5 is likely to inhibit excessive inflammation, thereby inhibiting the function of DLBCL, which promises to be a new target for immunotherapy treatment of DLBCL.
