Objective: To investigate the rate of dual rearrangements of lymphocytic antigen receptor genes in non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) and its pathogenesis and pathologic significance.
Methods: PCR analysis of monoclonal, polyclonal and dual rearrangements of IgH and TCR gamma, TCR beta genes was carried out in 125 cases of NHL to evaluate the rate of dual rearrangements, immunohistochemistry was performed for a Ki67 protein expression in 117 cases and the proliferation index was calculated. The relationship between antigen receptor gene rearrangements and proliferation index was analyzed.
Results: Combination of the two pairs of IgH gene primers with the multiplex PCR for TCR gamma and TCR beta gene revealed dual rearrangements in 8% (8/96) of B-NHL, 17% (5/29) of T-NHL. In B cell NHL, IgH gene monoclonal, dural and polyclonal rearrangements were identified in 65, 8 and 15 cases respectively, while in T-cell NHL, they were in 15, 5 and 9 cases, respectively. There was no significant difference between proliferation index and monoclonal, dual, polyclonal rearrangements in both B-NHL and T-NHL by One-way test.
Conclusion: Dual rearrangements in NHL are not rare and have no relationship with proliferation index.

The rearranged-during-transfection (RET) kinase is a validated target for the treatment of RET-altered cancers. Currently approved RET-selective kinase inhibitors, selpercatinib (LOXO-292) and pralsetinib (BLU-667), increase the oncogenic RET protein level upon treatment, which may affect their efficacy. We seek to reduce the oncogenic RET protein level and RET kinase activity simultaneously.

Incomplete sister centromere decatenation results in centromeric ultrafine anaphase bridges (UFBs). PICH (PLK1-interacting checkpoint helicase), a DNA translocase, plays a crucial role in UFB resolution by recruiting UFB-binding proteins and stimulating topoisomerase IIα. However, the involvement of distinct PICH functions in UFB resolution remains ambiguous.

The mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase (MTOR) is pivotal for cell growth, metabolism, and survival. It functions through two distinct complexes, mechanistic TORC1 and mechanistic TORC2 (mTORC1 and mTORC2). These complexes function in the development and progression of cancer by regulating different cellular processes, such as protein synthesis, lipid metabolism, and glucose homeostasis.

Dual productive B-cell receptor (BCR) rearrangements have been repeatedly reported for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), but the standard population-based PCR analyses cannot distinguish whether these are bi-clonal CLL, or a monoclonal CLL with bi-allelic productive rearrangements. We investigated CLL cells by combined single-cell RNA and BCR sequencing. We identified two CLL clones using different immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy-chain V region genes (IGHV) genes and distinct Ig λ light chains.

Tetraspanin proteins are closely associated with high-curvature membrane structures and play key roles in organizing membrane domains and regulating membrane signaling in immune cells. However, their specific roles in regulating T cell membrane signaling, particularly within the microvilli often characteristic of these cells, remain poorly understood. Here, we used Jurkat T cells as a model system and investigated CD81 as a member of the tetraspanin family.
