| Abstract |
MicroRNAs (miRs) are involved in tumor progression by regulating tumor cells and tumor microenvironment. MiR21 is overexpressed in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and its biological impact on tumor microenvironment remains unclear. MiR21 was assessed by quantitative RT-PCR in patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL. The mechanism of action of miR21 on lymphoma progression and tumor angiogenesis was examined in vitro in B-lymphoma cell lines and in vivo in a murine xenograft model. Serum miR21 was significantly elevated in patients and associated with advanced disease stage, International Prognostic Index indicating intermediate-high and high-risk, and increased tumor angiogenesis. When co-cultured with immune cells and endothelial cells, miR21-overexpressing B-lymphoma cells were resistant to chemotherapeutic agents, but sensitive to Bcl-2 inhibitor ABT-199, irrespective of Bcl-2 expression on lymphoma cells. In both co-culture systems of Bcl-2(positive) and Bcl-2(negative) B-lymphoma cells, miR21 induced inducible co-stimulator (ICOS) expression on regulatory T (Treg) cells. Through crosstalking with Treg cells by ICOS ligand (ICOSL), endothelial cells were activated, resulting in stimulation of Bcl-2 expression and vessel formation. ABT-199 directly targeted Bcl-2 on endothelial cells, induced endothelial cell apoptosis and inhibited tumor angiogenesis. In a murine xenograft model established with subcutaneous injection of B-lymphoma cells, ABT-199 particularly retarded the growth of miR21-overexpressing tumors, consistent with the induction of endothelial cell apoptosis and inhibition of tumor angiogenesis. As a serum oncogenic biomarker of B-cell lymphoma, miR21 indicated B-lymphoma cell sensitivity to ABT-199 via ICOS/ICOSL-mediated interaction of Treg cells with endothelial cells. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 31 March 2018.
All research outputs
#17,292,294
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research
#1,247
of 2,380 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#210,622
of 329,969 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research
#9
of 22 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,380 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.8. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 329,969 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 22 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 59% of its contemporaries.
