Expression of APRIL in Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphomas from Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Rheumatoid Arthritis

Abstract

The high expression of APRIL in DLBCL in SLE and in an RA subset might indicate an association between APRIL and lymphoma in these subsets of rheumatic diseases, but could also reflect a dysregulation of APRIL per se in these patient groups.
