Objective: To explore the clinical significance of ten-eleven-translocation methylcytosine dioxygenase 2 (TET2) mRNA expression levels in adult acute myeloid leukemia patients with normal cytogenetics (CN-AML).
Methods: Expression levels of TET2 mRNA were measured by real-time PCR in 157 adult CN-AML, and its clinical impact in CN-AML was evaluated as well.
Results: TET2 gene expression levels from bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) [7.29(3.41-9.99)] and CD34+ cells [6.02(5.64-6.54)] in CN-AML were significantly lower than those [BMMNCs: 8.13(6.68-9.04), P=0.026; CD34+ cells: 6.48(5.97-7.12), P=0.034] in healthy control. And TET2 mRNA level at diagnosis [7.32(6.11-8.41)] was obviously lower than that at complete remission [8.39(7.76-8.79), P<0.01]. CN-AML patients with lower levels of TET2 mRNA showed worse survival rate [(32.7±5.9)%] at 18-month than those with higher levels [(48.6±6.9)%, P=0.041]. In multivariate analysis, lower level of TET2 mRNA was an independent prognostic factor for OS [hazard ratio(HR)2.032, 95% confidence interval (CI)1.272-3.247, P=0.003] and event-free survival [HR 1.532, 95% CI 1.014-2.314, P=0.043].
Conclusion: The level of TET2 mRNA is significantly lower in patients with CN-AML and it is an independent negative prognostic factor. TET2 could be an important factor for the molecular-based risk stratification in CN-AML.

PHAX enhanced LIN28B-mediated PBX3 mRNA stability to promote esophageal cancer development.

The abnormal expression of PHAX was observed in esophageal cancer, however, its specific function and mechanism remain to be further elucidated. We demonstrated that PHAX, LIN28B, and PBX3 were upregulated in esophageal cancer, while TET2 was downregulated. Elevated PHAX correlated with adverse outcomes among esophageal cancer patients.

Article Synopsis
- High-grade B-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (HGBCL, NOS) shares similarities with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and Burkitt lymphoma (BL), which complicates its diagnosis and treatment.
- A study on a cohort of 55 patients revealed that about 60% of HGBCL, NOS cases don't express the BL gene signature and instead display characteristics aligned with DLBCL, while showing significant genetic diversity and changes in critical regulatory genes.
- Pediatric HGBCL, NOS cases exhibited gene expressions typical of GCB-DLBCL and also showed key mutations seen in pediatric BL; the research highlighted PIM1 mutations in adults as a potential target for new therapies.

Butyric acid as a short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) is one of the key microbial metabolites of ruminants. Numerous studies indicate that butyrate is crucial in muscle growth and development, and plays an important molecular regulatory role mainly by inhibiting histone deacetylation. DNA methylation, a major epigenetic modification, is involved in cell differentiation.

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) represents a hallmark of obvious hypersensitivity with an imbalance of immune responses, including abnormal macrophage activity in local tissues. It has been reported that alternatively activated macrophages (M2) may contribute to allergic pathogenesis. Ten-eleven translocation (Tet) enzymes can oxidize 5-methylcytosine (m5C) in mRNA, implying the epigenetic regulation of post-transcriptional RNA modification.
