Abstract
LIM domains-containing protein 1 (LIMD1) is a tumor suppressor protein downregulated in numerous solid malignancies. However, the functional role of LIMD1 in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) remains unclear. In the present study, it was demonstrated that LIMD1 is associated with the proliferation of NHL and cell adhesion mediated-drug resistance (CAM-DR). It was indicated by western blot analysis that LIMD1expression is lower in progressive lymphoma compared with indolent lymphoma. Furthermore, it was indicated that the role of LIMD1 in cell viability and proliferation remains unclear. Finally, the present study demonstrated that LIMD1 serves an important role in CAM-DR by regulating cell cycle progression. Silencing of LIMD1 may reverse CAM-DR in NHL. Therefore, the findings of the present study suggested that LIMD1 may be a potential therapeutic target for patients with NHL.
