Abstrakt: Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), the most common form of peripheral T-cell lymphoma, originates from follicular helper T (Tfh) cells and is notably resistant to current treatments. The disease progression and maintenance, at least in early stages, are driven by a complex interplay between neoplastic Tfh and clusters of B-cells within the tumor microenvironment, mirroring the functional crosstalk observed inside germinal centers. This interaction is further complicated by recurrent mutations, such as TET2 and DNMT3A, which are present in both Tfh cells and B-cells. These findings suggest that the symbiotic relationship between these 2 cell types could represent a therapeutic vulnerability. This review examines the key components and signaling mechanisms involved in the synapses between B-cells and Tfh cells, emphasizing their significant role in the pathobiology of AITL and potential as therapeutic targets.
