Accelerated progression of Hodgkin\u27s-like lymphomas in golli deficient SJL mice

Abstract

Spontaneously occurring lymphomas in SJL mice have many pathological features similar to Hodgkin\u27s lymphoma in humans. The malignant growth of the tumor cells is dependent on the support of host FoxP3(+)CD4(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs). In this study, we report that the ablation of golli protein, a negative regulator of CRAC (calcium release activated calcium) channel, in SJL mice results in an accelerated progression of Hodgkin\u27s-like lymphoma which is accompanied by a facilitated conversion of FoxP3(+) Treg cells. Our results suggest that golli protein might affect the progression of Hodgkin\u27s-like lymphomas through regulating the induction of Treg cells
