Overview
CD70 is a costimulatory molecule expressed on some activated lymphocytes and has a role in T-cell-mediated immune responses. CD70 aberrations are relatively common in DLBCL and appear more frequent in certain DLBCL patient populations. For instance, in a Chinese DLBCL cohort, 24% of cases exhibited CD70 genetic changes, compared to 10.8% in a Swedish cohort.1 CD70 mutations are associated with the BN2 genetic subtype of DLBCL.2 The mutation pattern in CD70 is consistent with the preferential accumulation of inactivating mutations. Genetic perturbation limits the development of an effective CD8+ T-cell immune response in Bcl6-driven DLBCL.1 In mouse models, CD70 loss promoted lymphomagenesis, consistent with its role as a tumor suppressor gene in B-cell lymphomas.3
