Deregulation and mutations of c-myc have been reported in multiple mature B-cell malignancies such as Burkitt lymphoma, myeloma and plasma cell lymphoma. After translocation into the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) locus, c-myc is constitutively expressed under the control of active IgH cis-regulatory enhancers. Those located in the IgH 3' regulatory region (3'RR) are master control elements of transcription. Over the past decade numerous convincing demonstrations of 3'RR's contribution to mature c-myc-induced lymphomagenesis have been made using transgenic models with various types of IgH-c-myc translocations and transgenes. This review highlights how IgH 3'RR physiological functions play a critical role in c-myc deregulation during lymphomagenesis.
在多种成熟B细胞恶性肿瘤如伯基特淋巴瘤、骨髓瘤和浆细胞淋巴瘤中,已报道c-myc存在失调和突变。c-myc易位至免疫球蛋白重链(IgH)基因座后,在活跃的IgH顺式调控增强子的控制下持续表达。位于IgH 3'调控区(3'RR)的增强子是转录的主控元件。在过去十年中,使用具有各种类型IgH-c-myc易位和转基因的转基因模型,对3'RR在成熟c-myc诱导的淋巴瘤发生中的作用进行了大量令人信服的论证。本综述重点介绍了IgH 3'RR的生理功能在淋巴瘤发生过程中c-myc失调中如何发挥关键作用。
