Peripheral T cell lymphoma: new model + new insight
Abstract
The nonreceptor tyrosine kinase SYK has recently received a good deal of attention as a critical oncogene in various hematologic malignancies. A newly developed model of peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL) using the ITK-SYK fusion gene should serve as a powerful tool to dissect the signaling cascades important for SYK-associated malignancy in the context of t(5;9) PTCL.

The fusion kinase ITK-SYK mimics a T cell receptor signal and drives oncogenesis in conditional mouse models of peripheral T cell lymphoma.J Exp Med. 2010 May 10;207(5):1031-44. doi: 10.1084/jem.20092042. Epub 2010 May 3. J Exp Med. 2010. PMID: 20439541 Free PMC article.
