Summary
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), a malignancy of B‐lymphocytes, has a poor prognosis. It is thus necessary to improve the understanding of the pathobiology of MCL and identify factors contributing to its aggressiveness. Our studies, based on Affymetrix data from 17 MCL biopsies, real‐time quantitative polymerase chain reaction data from 18 sorted primary MCL cells and 108 MCL biopsies compared to non‐malignant tissue, reveals that GNAZ expression predicts poor clinical outcome of MCL patients (Cox regression, P = 0·014) and lymphocytosis (Mann‐Whitney, P = 0·011). We show that GNAZ translates to Gαz protein – a signalling molecule within the G‐protein coupled receptor network. Our findings suggest that GNAZ/Gαz contribute to the MCL pathobiology.
