CD38 expression in chronic lymphocytic leukemia is regulated by the tumor microenvironment.
Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a lymphoproliferative disease with a highly variable outcome. The prognosis of patients with CLL may be predicted using a number of biomarkers, including the level of CD38 expression at the leukemic cell surface. This study investigates the hypothesis that CD38 expression by CLL cells reflects interactions with nonmalignant cells within pseudofollicles in secondary lymphoid tissue where tumor cell proliferation is thought to occur. CD38 expression is higher in tissues that contain pseudofollicles compared with those that do not. In addition, we show that CD38 expression in CLL is dynamic, changes in response to contact with activated CD4+ T cells, and identifies cells that are primed to proliferate. Finally, we demonstrate close contact between activated CD4+ T cells and proliferating tumor in primary patient tissue. Proliferating tumor cells in lymph nodes express CD38, which is in turn associated with an increased number of CD31+ vascular endothelial cells. Although the factors resulting in colocalization of tumor, T cells, and endothelium remain unclear, the existence of these cellular clusters may provide an explanation for the association between CD38 expression and adverse outcome in CLL and suggests novel therapeutic targets.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
