We present the study of 16 cases of splenic marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (SMZBL) combining conventional cytogenetics and fluorescence in situ hybridization technique (FISH). We used a locus specific probe (11q22.3) that hybridizes with Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated gene (ATM) and a centromeric probe of chromosome 11 as a control. Deletions in ATM gene region have been found in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and have been considered as an independent prognosis factor in these pathologies. The aim of our study was to determine the ATM status in SMZBL because no specific studies concerning ATM status in SMZBL have been reported and other B-cell malignances have shown ATM deletions. No deletions were detected in any of the 16 cases. ATM deletions could be considered a rare event in SMZBCL.

Article Synopsis
- * The study reveals that most ATM-deficient T-LBL cultures have various genomic alterations in the PTEN gene, resulting in the absence of functional PTEN protein and constant activation of AKT signaling.
- * These lymphomas are sensitive to the AKT inhibitor MK-2206, indicating they rely on pAKT signaling for survival, and this loss of PTEN expression and activation of AKT is not seen in non-cancerous thymocytes.

Objective: Liver X receptors (LXRs) play essential roles in cholesterol homeostasis and immune response. In obesity, elevated cholesterol levels trigger proinflammatory responses; however, the specific contributions of LXRs to adipose tissue (AT) macrophage (ATM) phenotype and metabolic programming are not fully understood. In this study, we determine the role of LXR isoforms in diet-induced obesity AT inflammation and insulin resistance.

Article Synopsis
- DNA is constantly damaged by internal and external factors, making efficient repair crucial to prevent mutations and maintain genomic integrity.
- There exists a tension between maintaining genome stability and allowing rearrangements that contribute to genetic diversity and evolution.
- Research on Arabidopsis thaliana showed that heterochromatin regions are more likely to have structural variations when exposed to specific radiation types, with findings indicating a complex interplay between DNA damage response mechanisms.

Article Synopsis
- One system used a zinc finger nuclease to target the human HPRT1 gene for mutation assays, while the other allowed for analysis of homology-directed repair (HR) in a specific cell line.
- Our findings suggest that inhibiting ATM kinase decreases mutation frequency but increases HR frequency, indicating that ATM activity may help regulate DSB repair pathways.
