Latent infection of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is associated with a poor prognosis in patients with B cell malignancy. We examined whether dasatinib, a multi kinase inhibitor, which is broadly used for chronic myeloid leukemia and Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia is effective on EBV-positive B cell malignancies, using lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs)  in vitro  and  in vivo . As a result,  in vitro  experiments showed that dasatinib induced cell death of the EBV-LCLs which was not accompanied with a lytic reactivation of EBVs. To evaluate the effectiveness in EBV latency type III represented by immunodeficiency lymphoma, LCL-inoculated immunodeficient NOD/shi- scid / Il2rg  nul  (NOG) mice were treated with dasatinib. However,  in vivo  experiments revealed that dasatinib treatment exacerbated tumor cell infiltration into the spleen of LCL-inoculated NOG mice, whereas tumor size at the inoculated site was not affected by the treatment. These results suggest that dasatinib exacerbates the pathogenesis at least in some situations although the drug is effective  in vitro . Hence, we should carefully examine a possibility of dasatinib repositioning for EBV +  B cell malignancies.
