Abstrakt: | A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom has provided new insights into diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). DLBCL is a type of B-cell lymphoma that affects a significant percentage of patients who do not respond to standard therapy or experience disease recurrence. The study focused on the role of the lipid sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) in the activity of macrophages in DLBCL. The researchers found that tumor-derived S1P attracts monocytes and macrophages, but inhibits the phagocytosis of DLBCL tumor cells by M1 macrophages. They suggest that the administration of S1P receptor 1 (S1PR1) inhibitors could enhance tumor cell phagocytosis and improve patient outcomes. [Extracted from the article] |
