The invention discloses application of NK4 as a target spot in preparation of a product for diagnosing or preventing and treating B-
cell lymphoma, and belongs to the technical field of biological
medicine. By inhibiting the expression or function of NK4, a Rap1
signal channel is blocked, so that the proliferation of
tumor cells is inhibited, and the
apoptosis of the
tumor cells is induced. The invention provides that NK4 can induce
B cell lymphoma, and block NK4 can treat
diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) by reducing proliferation of the
B cell lymphoma and increasing
apoptosis of the
B cell lymphoma; and NK4 is also a mark of the DLBCL. NK4 and a downstream Rap1
signal channel thereof can be used as diagnosis, treatment and
drug development targets of
B cell lymphoma.
