The LIM-domain-only protein LMO2 interacts with LDB1 in context-dependent multiprotein complexes and plays key roles in erythropoiesis and T cell leukemogenesis, but whether they have any roles in B cells is unclear. Through a CRISPR/Cas9-based loss-of-function screening, we identified LMO2 and LDB1 as factors for class switch recombination (CSR) in murine B cells. LMO2 contributes to CSR at least in part by promoting end joining of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and inhibiting end resection.

How specific enhancer-promoter pairing is established remains mostly unclear. Besides the CTCF/cohesin machinery, few nuclear factors have been studied for a direct role in physically connecting regulatory elements. Using a murine erythroid cell model, we show via acute degradation experiments that LDB1 directly and broadly promotes connectivity among regulatory elements.

The innate immune system is the first player involved in the recognition/interaction with nanomaterials. Still, it is not the only system involved. The co-evolution of the microbiota with the innate immune system built an interdependence regulating immune homeostasis that is poorly studied.

A robust prognostic and biological classification for newly diagnosed follicular lymphoma (FL) using molecular profiling remains challenging. FL tumors from patients treated in the RELEVANCE trial with rituximab-chemotherapy (R-chemo) or rituximab-lenalidomide (R2) were analyzed using RNA sequencing, DNA sequencing, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and/or fluorescence in situ hybridization. Unsupervised gene clustering identified 2 gene expression signatures (GSs) enriched in normal memory (MEM) B cells and germinal center (GC) B-cell signals, respectively.

HOXA9, an important transcription factor (TF) in hematopoiesis, is aberrantly expressed in numerous cases of both acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and is a strong indicator of poor prognosis in patients. HOXA9 is a proto-oncogene which is both sufficient and necessary for leukemia transformation. HOXA9 expression in leukemia correlates with patient survival outcomes and response to therapy.
