Professor Yoon Kyung Jeon's research lab focuses on the tumor microenvironment and immune regulation in lymphomas, particularly diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The lab investigates key immune cells such as tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and regulatory T-cells (Tregs), as well as immune checkpoint molecules like PD-1 and PD-L1, to understand their prognostic and therapeutic implications. A central theme is identifying novel immune targets—such as Pellino-1, an E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in immune signaling—for cancer immunotherapy. The lab integrates preclinical models with clinical pathology to translate basic findings into potential immunotherapeutic strategies.

PD-L1 and PD-1 were expressed variably in DLBCLs by tumour cells and tumour-infiltrating immune cells and might be potential therapeutic targets using PD-1/PD-L1 blockade.
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and regulatory T-cells (Tregs) play an important role in the tumor microenvironment. Here, we investigated the prognostic implications of TAMs and Tregs in 165 diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) using immunohistochemistry. Survival analysis was performed among 109 DLBCLs treated with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone (R-CHOP). An increase in CD68 (+) cells was related to improved overall survival (OS) (p = 0.033). By con
Pellino-1 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase acting as a critical mediator for a variety of immune receptor signaling pathways, including Toll-like receptors, interleukin-1 receptor and T-cell receptors. We recently showed that the Pellino-1-transgenic (Tg) mice developed multiple tumors with different subtypes in hematolymphoid and solid organs. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the oncogenic role of Pellino-1 in solid tumors remains unknown. Pellino-1-Tg mice developed adenocarcinoma in the l
