Advances in molecular biology have shed light on the biological basis of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL). Knowledge of the biological basis has enabled us to understand that most Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (H-RS) cells are derived from germinal center B-cells and constitutive nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation is a common molecular feature. Molecular mechanisms responsible for constitutive NF-kappaB activation, Epstein Barr virus latent membrane protein 1, and defective IkappaBalpha and IkappaB kinase activation have been clarified in the past several years. A recent study revealed the biological link between 2 characteristic features of H-RS cells: CD30 overexpression and constitutive NF-kappaB activation. Ligand-independent signaling by overexpressed CD3O was shown to be a common mechanism that induced constitutive NF-kappaB activation in these cells. These results suggest the self-growth-promoting potential of H-RS cells and redefine the biology of HL composed of H-RS cells and lymphocytes.
