AGT and non-Hodgkin lymphoma: Because normal and malignant T cells express a low level of O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (AGT) and of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) (20, 21), two DNA repair enzymes implicated in cellular resistance to nitrosureas, and specifically to fotemustine (22–25), we speculated that alkylator-refractory T-NHL could represent a proper setting to explore the potential clinical activity of this newer nitrosourea derivative.
