Phosphorylated AKT has been detected in extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENTL). Either interleukin-2 (IL-2) or interleukin-15 (IL-15) could prevent AKT dephosphorylation and apoptosis in the NK-92 cell line model. IL-15, but not IL-2, was preferentially elevated in patients' serum. AKT and IL-15 may be important in ENTL tumor survival.
