Abstract excerpt
The pathogenesis of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is still unclear. Previous investigations have demonstrated constitutive nuclear activity of the transcription factor NF kappa B (NF-kappaB) in Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells as an important prerequisite in protecting these cells from apoptosis. As a molecular mechanism leading to constitutive NF-kappaB activity in HRS cells, mutations of the NF-kappaB inhibitor I...
