Abstract

Diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) are the most common and aggressive type of all the lymphomas. B cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) oncogene is highly expressed in DLBCLs and one of the major reasons of treatment failure. Recent findings suggest that specific BCL6 inhibitor (FX1) disrupted formation of the BCL6 repression complex, reactivated BCL6 target genes, that in-turn suppressed growth of DLBCLs cells, primary human DLBCLs specimens, as well as induced regression of established tumors in mice derived from DLBCLs cells.
