| Gene Target | Biological Function | Application as a Biomarker |
|---|---|---|
| MALT1 paracaspase (MALT1) | MALT1 paracaspase (MALT1) is a cytosolic signaling protein that functions as a paracaspase with both scaffold and protease activities. MALT1 plays a central role in antigen receptor-mediated activation of NF-κB signaling in lymphocytes. Upon activation by immune receptors such as the B-cell receptor (BCR) or T-cell receptor (TCR), MALT1 forms a complex with BCL10 and CARMA1 (the CBM complex), which facilitates downstream signaling leading to NF-κB activation. The protease activity of MALT1 enables it to cleave specific substrates, including negative regulators of NF-κB signaling, thereby promoting lymphocyte activation, proliferation, and survival. MALT1 is essential for normal immune responses and is also implicated in the regulation of inflammatory pathways. | MALT1 has been investigated as a biomarker in the context of certain lymphoid malignancies, particularly mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma and activated B-cell-like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (ABC-DLBCL). Aberrant expression, mutations, or chromosomal translocations involving MALT1 are associated with the pathogenesis of these malignancies. Detection of MALT1 rearrangements or overexpression can aid in the molecular characterization of specific lymphoma subtypes and may have diagnostic and prognostic relevance in clinical and research settings. |
| interleukin 6 (IL6) | Interleukin 6 (IL6) is a multifunctional cytokine produced by a variety of cell types, including T cells, B cells, monocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. IL6 plays a central role in the regulation of immune responses, inflammation, hematopoiesis, and the acute phase response. It acts as both a pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediator, depending on the context. IL6 signaling is primarily mediated through the IL6 receptor and the gp130 signal transducer, leading to activation of the JAK/STAT, MAPK, and PI3K pathways. Its biological effects include stimulation of B cell differentiation, promotion of T cell proliferation, induction of acute phase proteins in the liver, and modulation of metabolic, regenerative, and neural processes. | IL6 is widely measured in clinical and research settings as a biomarker of inflammation and immune activation. Elevated IL6 levels have been associated with a range of conditions characterized by inflammation, such as infections, autoimmune diseases, and certain cancers. In particular, IL6 concentrations are commonly used to assess disease activity or severity in disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, sepsis, and COVID-19. Measurement of IL6 in blood or other body fluids can provide information about the presence and extent of inflammatory processes, and it is often included in panels for monitoring response to therapy or disease progression. |
| toll like receptor 8 (TLR8) | Toll-like receptor 8 (TLR8) is a member of the Toll-like receptor family, which plays a key role in the innate immune system by recognizing pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) derived from microbes. TLR8 is primarily expressed in endosomal compartments of monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. It recognizes single-stranded RNA (ssRNA), particularly from viruses, leading to the activation of downstream signaling pathways such as NF-κB and the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, type I interferons, and other mediators involved in the immune response. Through these mechanisms, TLR8 contributes to the detection and elimination of viral pathogens and participates in the modulation of immune responses. | TLR8 expression and activity have been investigated as indicators of immune activation and inflammation, particularly in the context of infectious diseases, autoimmune conditions, and certain cancers. Altered TLR8 expression or signaling has been associated with disease states such as viral infections, systemic lupus erythematosus, and hematological malignancies. Measurement of TLR8 levels or functional responses may provide information about immune system status or disease progression in these contexts. |
| tumor necrosis factor (TNF) | Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine primarily produced by activated macrophages, as well as other immune and non-immune cells. TNF plays a central role in mediating inflammation, immune system regulation, and apoptosis. It exerts its effects by binding to TNF receptors (TNFR1 and TNFR2) on cell surfaces, triggering intracellular signaling pathways that regulate cell survival, differentiation, and death. TNF is involved in the acute phase response to infection, promotes leukocyte recruitment, and enhances the expression of adhesion molecules and other cytokines. It is also implicated in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. | TNF levels in blood, serum, or tissue samples are measured as an indicator of inflammatory activity. Elevated TNF concentrations have been associated with a range of conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, sepsis, and certain cancers. TNF is used in research and clinical studies to monitor disease activity, assess response to anti-TNF therapies, and investigate the inflammatory status of patients with chronic or acute inflammatory disorders. |
