B cell signalling pathways—New targets for precision medicine in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Immunology, Volume 92, Issue 5, November 2020., 2020
Abstract The B cell receptor (BCR) is a master regulator of B cells, controlling cellular processes such as proliferation, migration and survival. Cell signalling downstream of the BCR is aberrantly activated in the B cell malignancy chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), supporting the pathophysiology of the disease.

Inhibition of Bruton's TK regulates macrophage NF‐κB and NLRP3 inflammasome activation in metabolic inflammation

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 177, Issue 19, Page 4416-4432, October 2020., 2020
Background and Purpose There are no medications currently available to treat metabolic inflammation. Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is highly expressed in monocytes and macrophages and regulates NF‐κB and NLRP3 inflammasome activity; both propagate metabolic inflammation in diet‐induced obesity.

Persisting SARS‐CoV‐2 viraemia after rituximab therapy: two cases with fatal outcome and a review of the literature

open access: yesBritish Journal of Haematology, Volume 190, Issue 2, Page 185-188, July 2020., 2020
Summary SARS‐CoV‐2 infection can cause severe pneumonia (COVID‐19). There is evidence that patients with comorbidities are at higher risk of a severe disease course. The role of immunosuppression in the disease course is not clear. In the present report, we first describe two cases of persisting SARS‐CoV‐2 viraemia with fatal outcome in patients after ...

Targeting Brutons Tyrosine Kinase in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia at the Crossroad between Intrinsic and Extrinsic Pro-survival Signals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Chemo immunotherapies for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) showed a positive impact on clinical outcome, but many patients relapsed or become refractory to the available treatments.

Autologous non‐human primate model for safety assessment of piggyBac transposon‐mediated chimeric antigen receptor T cells on granulocyte–macrophage colony‐stimulating factor receptor

open access: yesClinical &Translational Immunology, Volume 9, Issue 11, 2020., 2020
We pre‐clinically evaluated the safety of granulocyte–macrophage colony‐stimulating factor (GMCSF) receptor (GMR)–chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells. For this purpose, we used a novel immunocompetent non‐human primate (NHP) model, established using bioengineered cynomolgus T cells expressing CAR‐T molecules redirected against the GMR by piggyBac ...

Future therapeutic targets in rheumatoid arthritis? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by persistent joint inflammation. Without adequate treatment, patients with RA will develop joint deformity and progressive functional impairment.

Bruton's tyrosine kinase expression and activity in X-linked agammaglobulinaemia (XLA): the use of protein analysis as a diagnostic indicator of XLA [PDF]

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Immunology, 1998
SUMMARY Mutations in the Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) gene result in XLA. Despite the large numbers of BTK mutations reported, no correlation can be made between the clinical phenotype and the gene defects. Analysis of Btk protein expression and activity in individuals with XLA was performed to characterize the relationship between a ...

Expression of Bruton's tyrosine kinase in B lymphoblastoid cell lines from X-linked agammaglobulinaemia patients

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Immunology, 1997
SUMMARY X-linked agammaglobulinaemia (XLA) is an immunodeficiency caused by mutations in Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) and is characterized by an almost complete arrest of B cell development. We analysed expression of Btk in B lymphoblastoid cell lines (BLCL) derived from four unrelated XLA patients.

Role of Bruton's tyrosine kinase in B cells and malignancies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a non-receptor kinase that plays a crucial role in oncogenic signaling that is critical for proliferation and survival of leukemic cells in many B cell malignancies. BTK was initially shown to be defective in the primary

DNA-based mutation analysis of Bruton's tyrosine kinase gene in patients with X-linked agammaglobulinaemia

open access: yesHuman Molecular Genetics, 1995
The identification of the BTK (Bruton's tyrosine kinase) gene defective in human immunoglobulin deficiency X-linked agammaglobulinaemia (XLA) and characterisation of BTK exon-intron boundaries has now allowed the analysis of mutations and polymorphisms at the level of genomic DNA.
