Mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) is acquired by neonates through milk and first infects lymphocytes in Peyer's patches. We show here that newborn mice lacking beta7 integrin or L-selectin were infected with MMTV at wild-type levels in both their lymphoid and mammary tissues. Superantigen-mediated activation and cognate T cell deletion were also unimpaired in both types of null mice. A large proportion of neonatal Peyer's patch lymphocytes in wild-type mice were beta7 and beta1 integrin low and both populations increased in response to MMTV infection. These results suggest that adhesion molecules other than beta7 integrin or L-selectin play a role in lymphocyte homing in the gut, peripheral lymph nodes and mammary gland in response to MMTV infection.

Objective: Studies in mouse models and human adults have shown that the intestinal microbiota composition can affect peripheral immune cells. We here examined whether the gut microbiota compositions affect B and T-cell subsets in children.
Methods: The intestinal microbiota was characterized from stool samples of 344 10-year-old children from the Generation R Study by performing 16S rRNA sequencing.

Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is an indolent malignancy of mature B-lymphocytes. While existing front-line therapies achieve excellent initial results, a significant number of patients relapse and become increasingly treatment resistant. A major molecular driver of HCL is aberrant interlocking expression of the transcription factor JunD and the intracellular signaling molecule RhoH.

Spondyloarthritis (SpA) describes a group of diseases characterized by chronic inflammation in the spine and peripheral joints. While pathogenesis is still unclear, proinflammatory gut-derived immune cells have been identified in the joints of SpA patients. We previously identified an enriched population of integrin-expressing cells in the joints of SpA patients.

Immunotherapy elicits a systemic antitumour immune response in peripheral circulating T cells. However, the T cell trafficking circuit between organs and their contributions to antitumour immunity remain largely unknown. Here we show in multiple mouse leukaemia models that high infiltration of leukaemic cells in bone marrow (BM) stimulates the transition of CD8CD44CD62L central memory T cells into CD8CD44CD62L T cells, designated as inter-organ migratory T cells (T cells).

Article Synopsis
- The study explores human mast cell (MC) differentiation from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), aiming to enhance understanding of MC development and subtypes due to limitations in current cellular models.* -
- Analysis using flow cytometry shows distinct hematopoietic progenitor populations during the differentiation process, with various characteristics identified in early and later stages, including hypergranular and hypogranular cell types.* -
- Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) highlighted diverse cell populations, revealing several progenitor types, and demonstrated that cultured MC precursors can be matured into uniform mature MCs through specific media.*
