Little is known about genomic aberrations in peripheral T cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL NOS). We studied 47 PTCL NOS by 250k GeneChip single nucleotide polymorphism arrays and detected genomic imbalances in 22 of the cases. Recurrent gains and losses were identified, including gains of chromosome regions 1q32-43, 2p15-16, 7, 8q24, 11q14-25, 17q11-21 and 21q11-21 (> or = 5 cases each) as well as losses of chromosome regions 1p35-36, 5q33, 6p22, 6q16, 6q21-22, 8p21-23, 9p21, 10p11-12, 10q11-22, 10q25-26, 13q14, 15q24, 16q22, 16q24, 17p11, 17p13 and Xp22 (> or = 4 cases each). Genomic imbalances affected several regions containing members of nuclear factor-kappaB signalling and genes involved in cell cycle control. Gains of 2p15-16 were confirmed in each of three cases analysed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and were associated with breakpoints at the REL locus in two of these cases. Three additional cases with gains of the REL locus were detected by FISH among 18 further PTCL NOS. Five of 27 PTCL NOS investigated showed nuclear expression of the REL protein by immunohistochemistry, partly associated with genomic gains of the REL locus. Therefore, in a subgroup of PTCL NOS gains/rearrangements of REL and expression of REL protein may be of pathogenetic relevance.

Background: Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) c-Rel is a psoriasis susceptibility locus, however mechanisms underlying c-Rel transactivation during disease are poorly understood. Inflammation in psoriasis can be triggered following Toll-like Receptor 7 (TLR7) signalling in dendritic cells (DCs), and c-Rel is a critical regulator of DC function. Here, we studied the mechanism of TLR7-induced c-Rel-mediated inflammation in DCs.

In recent years, research has intensified in exploring the genetic basis of psoriasis (PsO) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Genome-wide association studies (GWASs), including tools like ImmunoChip, have significantly deepened our understanding of disease mechanisms by pinpointing risk-associated genetic loci. These efforts have elucidated biological pathways involved in PsO pathogenesis, particularly those related to the innate immune system, antigen presentation, and adaptive immune responses.

Primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma (PCFCL) has an excellent prognosis using local treatment, whereas nodal follicular lymphoma (nFL), occasionally presenting with cutaneous spread, often requires systemic therapy. Distinction of the 2 diseases based on histopathology alone might be challenging. Copy number alterations (CNAs) have scarcely been explored on a genome-wide scale in PCFCL; however, they might serve as potential biomarkers during differential diagnosis and risk stratification.

Article Synopsis
- Inflammatory gut disorders like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are influenced by dietary, environmental, and genetic factors, and the understanding of how these factors interact is still incomplete.
- Research on 52 BXD mouse strains highlighted that a high-fat diet (HFD) can lead to an IBD-like transcriptome, showing that both genetics and diet play a role in intestinal inflammation.
- Through gene co-expression analyses, the study identified key regulatory modules linked to IBD and pinpointed two candidate genes that may influence IBD susceptibility in humans, enhancing our understanding of genetic and dietary contributions to the disease.
