“We have earlier reported overexpression of the central and peripheral cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), a B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

In this study, treatment with cannabinoid receptor ligands caused a decrease in viability of MCL cells, while control cells lacking CB1 were not affected.

Our data suggest that cannabinoid receptors may be considered as potential therapeutic targets in MCL.” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16337199

“In conclusion, we have found that cannabinoid receptor ligands induce decreased viability, growth suppression and cell death by apoptosis in MCL cells, which express high levels of the CB1 receptor and moderate levels of CB2.

The current results in vitro suggest that CB1/CB2 ligands should be considered as agents for the treatment of MCL.”  http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1016/j.febslet.2005.11.020/full
