Disease relevance of MALT1

 

High impact information on MALT1

 

Biological context of MALT1

 

Anatomical context of MALT1

  • The nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of MALT1 and BCL10 complex may indicate that these molecules are involved not only in the nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) pathway but also in other biologic functions in lymphocytes [10].
  • Among a total of 66 cases, t(14;18)(q32;q21) involving IGH and MALT1 was detected in MALT lymphomas of the liver (4 of 4), skin (3 of 11), ocular adnexa (3 of 8), and salivary gland (2 of 11), but did not occur in MALT lymphomas of the stomach (n = 10), intestine (n = 9), lung (n = 7), thyroid (n = 4), or breast (n = 2) [2].
  • This study identifies IGH as a new translocation partner of MALT1 in MALT lymphomas, which tend to arise frequently at sites other than the gastrointestinal tract and lung [2].
  • In normal B-cell follicles, both MALT1 and BCL10 were expressed predominantly in the cytoplasm, high in centroblasts, moderate in centrocytes and weak/negative in mantle zone B-cells [13].
  • The CARD domain protein BCL10 and paracaspase MALT1 are essential for the activation of IkappaB kinase (IKK) and NF-kappaB in response to T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation [6].
 

Associations of MALT1 with chemical compounds

  • The use of leptomycin B, an NES-specific inhibitor, demonstrated that both MALT1 and API2-MALT1 were predominantly retained in the nuclei, indicating that these molecules were shuttling between nucleus and cytoplasm in an NES-dependent manner [10].
  • The sequence of this gene indicates the presence of two immunoglobulin-like C2 domains and a region of partial homology to caspases, suggesting a possible role for MALT1 in the regulation of apoptosis [14].
  • Expression of API2-MALT1 fusion transcripts was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue [15].
  • RNA interference against MALT1 markedly reduced the level of NF-kappaB activation stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in macrophages, which suggests that MALT1 plays a major role in the LPS/TLR4 pathway [16].
  • Finally, M. isabellina improved its degradation potential in Tartaric Acid (TA) medium relative to GS and Malt Extract (ME) media [17].
 

Physical interactions of MALT1

 

Regulatory relationships of MALT1

  • MALT1 contains nuclear export signals and regulates cytoplasmic localization of BCL10 [10].
  • Expression of a MALT1 deletion mutant containing only the N-terminal death domain and the two Ig-like domains completely blocked CD3/CD28 costimulation-induced, but not tumor necrosis factor-alpha-induced, NF-kappaB activation [12].
  • API2-MALT1 fusion protein induces transcriptional activation of the API2 gene through NF-kappaB binding elements: evidence for a positive feed-back loop pathway resulting in unremitting NF-kappaB activation [19].
 

Other interactions of MALT1

  • In this study, we show that MALT1 is recruited into the lipid rafts of the immunological synapse following activation of the TCR and the CD28 coreceptor (CD3/CD28 costimulation) [12].
  • Subsequent fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies disclosed that the immunoglobulin heavy-chain locus (IGH) and the MALT1 gene were rearranged by this translocation [2].
  • Moreover, our findings suggest that genomic gain of genes that modulate NFkappaB activation, such as MALT1, TRAF2 and CARD9, may play a role in the pathogenesis of the translocation-negative MALT lymphoma [20].
  • This is the first time that MALT1 and BCL2 have been shown to be overexpressed and amplified in MM [21].
  • MALT1/paracaspase is a signaling component downstream of CARMA1 and mediates T cell receptor-induced NF-kappaB activation [12].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of MALT1

  • This study further supports the close interaction between the MALT1 and BCL10 proteins in the pathogenesis of MALT lymphomas and may indicate that BCL10 immunohistochemistry is a simple technique to identify those MALT lymphoma cases with an underlying genetic aberration [22].
  • Genetic and biochemical experiments identified BCL10 and MALT1 as central components of an oligomerization-ubiquitinylation-phosphorylation cascade that activates the transcription factor NF-kappaB in response to antigen receptor ligation [23].
  • Thus, the RT-PCR assay used here should serve as an effective molecular tool for understanding molecular pathogenesis and the clinical significance of API2-MALT1 for MALT lymphomas [24].
  • Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to examine number of API2-MALT1 copies in clinical samples for further investigation of the pathophysiology of MALT lymphoma [25].
  • We determined the API2/MALT1 fusion transcript in 2 cases by Northern blot analysis and also showed that MALT1 mRNA is constitutively expressed in a variety of human tissues [26].
