Abstract

In this issue of Blood, Walter et al demonstrate an association between heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) and spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) as a critical upstream component in tonic BCR signaling of Burkitt lymphoma (BL). Integrity of this HSP90-SYK complex appears to be critical for maintenance of tonic BCR signaling, which keeps BL cells alive. Consequently, the authors propose HSP90 as a novel therapeutic target in BL.1.
