Mixed-phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) with -TKD mutations is a rare and challenging subtype of leukemia. Effective management strategies are crucial for improving patient outcomes. A 31-year-old man with -TKD-mutated MPAL achieved hematological remission through the JALSG ALL202-O protocol and gilteritinib, followed by cord blood transplantation (CBT).

Objectives: To address the paucity of HIV-related lymphoma (HRL)-specific prognostic scores for the Japanese population by analyzing domestic cases of HRL and constructing a predictive model.

Design: A single-center retrospective study coupled with a review of case reports of HRL.

Methods: We reviewed all patients with HRL treated at our hospital between 2007 and 2023 and conducted a comprehensive search for case reports of HRL from Japan using public databases.

Altered gene expression is a common feature of tumor cells after irradiation. Our previous study showed that this phenomenon is not only an acute response to cytotoxic stress, instead, it was persistently detected in tumor cells that survived 10 Gy irradiation (IR cells). The current understanding is that DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are recognized by the phosphorylation of histone H2AX (H2AX) and triggers the ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) protein or the ATM- and Rad3-related (ATR) pathway, which activate or inactivate the DNA repair or apoptotic or senescence related molecules and causes the expression of genes in many instances.

Background: Environmental challenges during development affect the fetal epigenome, but the period(s) vulnerable to epigenetic dysregulation is(are) not clear. By employing a soy phytoestrogen, genistein, that is known to alter the epigenetic states of the A(vy) allele during embryogenesis, we have explored the sensitive period for epigenetic regulation. The post-implantation period, when de novo DNA methylation actively proceeds, is amenable to in vitro analysis using a mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell differentiation system.
