Table 3 Biomarkers in reprogrammed pathways related to metabolism in CLL

From: Targeting metabolic reprogramming in chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Biomarkers

Mechanism of action

BTK

Involves in CLL cell proliferation and adhesion, BCR signaling, chemokine secretion (CCL3, CCL4)

ZAP-70

Overexpressed in CLL cell and enhances BCR signaling

Spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK)

Involves CLL cell survival and migration via BCR and chemokine receptor signaling

Lyn

Overexpressed in CLL cell as a major contributor to antigen-independent BCR signaling

Sprouty2

Significantly decreased in CLL cells from poor-prognosis patients and attenuates BCR and MAPK-ERK signaling in CLL cell

CD5

Promotes the activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR and MAPK-ERK pathway

CD40

Regulates amino acid metabolism, TCA and energy production
