Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a malignancy of mature lymphocytes that is manifest by the progressive accumulation of transformed cells, mostly due to their decreased apoptosis. CD84 belongs to the Signaling Lymphocyte Activating Molecule (SLAM) family of immunoreceptors and has an as yet unknown function in normal B cells and CLL lymphocytes. We show that CD84 is over-expressed in CLL cells. Activation of cell surface CD84 initiates a signaling cascade, which enhances cell survival. Both immunoneutralization or blockade of CD84 induce cell death in vitro and in vivo. Thus, overexpression of CD84 from an early stage may be critical for the survival of CLL. These findings suggest novel therapeutic strategies based on the blockade of a CD84 dependent survival pathway.
