Bcl-6 is a master transcription factor for the regulation of T follicular helper cells (T FH cells). Bcl-6 is expressed when the cytokines Il-6 and/or Il-21 are recognized; these cytokines can be produced by antigen presenting cells (APCs: B cells, dendritic cells, or …

2024年12月24日 · BCL6 (BCL6 Transcription Repressor) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with BCL6 include Intravascular Large B-Cell Lymphoma and High-Grade B-Cell Lymphoma Double-Hit/Triple-Hit. Among its related pathways are Gene expression (Transcription) and Cytokine Signaling in Immune system.

2022年12月2日 · B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) is a protooncogene in adult and pediatric cancers, first identified in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) where it acts as a repressor of the tumor suppressor TP53, conferring survival, protection, and maintenance of lymphoma cells.

BCL6 is critical for germinal center (GC) formation and the development of high-affinity antibodies, with key roles in the generation and function of GC B cells, follicular helper T (Tfh) cells, follicular regulatory T (Tfr) cells, and various immune memory cells.

Here, we review newly discovered roles for BCL6 in lymphocyte subsets residing within and outside of germinal centers, and discuss their implications with respect to the molecular mechanisms of BCL6 regulation and potential links to B and T-cell lymphomas.

BCL6 is a transcriptional repressor that plays a role in the development of follicular helper T cells and splenic conventional dendritic cells (cDCs). It is not expressed in early hematopoietic progenitors but is upregulated in the splenic pool of pre-cDCs.

2025年2月8日 · The protein encoded by this gene is a zinc finger transcription factor and contains an N-terminal POZ domain. This protein acts as a sequence-specific repressor of transcription, and has been shown to modulate the transcription of STAT-dependent IL-4 responses of B cells.
