  1. ALK and ALCL By Alicia Payne

  2. What is ALK? • ALK stands for Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase • Transmembrane RTK

  3. Pathways Involved with ALK ALK and Ras-ERK Pathway ALK and PI3K Pathway ALK and STAT Pathway

  4. ALK and the Ras-ERK Pathway

  5. ALK in the Cell • ALK is an RTK involved in neuronal cell differentiation and regeneration, synapse formation and muscle cell migration • Possible ligands include Pleiotrophin (PTN) and midkine (MK)

  6. Knockout Mice (-/-) Homozygote Mutants: • Viable • Altered behavior • Increased number of progenitor cells in the hippocampus • Reduced body weight Bilsland et. Al.

  7. How Does ALK Relate to ALCL?

  8. ALCL Basics • ALCL = Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma • ALCL is a subset of T-cell non-Hodgkins Lymphoma

  9. Overview of ALK Mutations • Mainly translocations  fusion proteins • Fusions promote dimerization which activates ALK

  10. NPM-ALK Fusion Protein • Oncogene • 70-80% of ALK-positive ALCL • t(2;5)(p23;q35) translocation

  11. ALK and ALCL • ALK fusions increase cell migration rate and cause cytoskeletal rearrangements of lymphoid cells • This creates anaplastic cells or sheets in the lymph nodes

  12. ALK and CD30 Signaling in ALCL Cells

  13. Therapy ALK-targeted therapy is promising because: • Can use CD30-Agonist Antibodies (in ALCL) • ALK is not widely expressed; few toxic effects • ALCL is mainly a childhood disease; search for effective long-term treatments

  14. Summary • ALK • RTK • Mainly involved in nervous system develoment • Active in lymphoid cells where it is associated with ALCL • ALCL • Subset of T-cell NHL • ALK mutations cause cell migration and cytoskeletal rearrangements of lymphoid cells  anaplastic cells or sheets in the lymph nodes • ALK increases CD30 expression on T-cell tumor cell membranes • However, even though there is more CD30, it cannot activate the NFKB pathways, and cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis do not occur • NPM-ALK Fusion Protein • Main ALK mutation • Translocation • Promotes ALK dimerization and activation • Hyperactivation of ALK promotes cell proliferation, cell survival, migration, and cytoskeletal rearrangements  cancer
