Serum levels of the soluble form of CD30 molecule as a tumor marker in CD30+ anaplastic large-cell lymphoma.

Abstract: sCD30 appears to be a new biologic serum tumor marker of possible use in the clinical setting of CD30+ ALCL.

“…It is part of the nerve growth factor/tumor necrosis factor superfamily, and the gene encoding CD30 is found on chromosome 1p36 (11). The CD30 antigen is found in elevated levels in the serum of patients with HD and other CD30-expressing malignancies (12,13).…”

“…3,4 Although these immunotoxins can successfully kill CD30 ϩ tumor cells in vitro and in mouse models and were effective in killing residual H-RS cells after successful conventional therapy, 5,6 these constructs alone were not always able to cure patients with bulky tumors. 7 This limitation is in part due to shedding of the target protein, leading to high blood levels of soluble CD30 (sCD30) in active disease, 8,9 thus neutralizing the immunotoxins in the serum and diminishing their binding to the less accessible target cells located in the connective tissue. 10,11 Membrane-anchored CD30 is cleaved by tumor necrosis factor-␣ converting enzyme (TACE), a membrane-anchored metalloproteinase-disintegrin (ADAM), which results in the release of sCD30.…”

“…35 The CD30 ligand is expressed on resting B and activated T lymphocytes, and can induce apoptosis in CD30ϩ cell lines. 36 Levels of soluble CD30 are also elevated in ALCL, 37 and may explain the B symptoms that patients with the disease experience. 38,39 Furthermore, elevated soluble CD30 is thought to protect against CD30 ligand-mediated cell death, and may correlate with a poor prognosis.…”
