Promyelocytic leukemia (PML) and a suite of other proteins form nuclear bodies (NBs) where SUMOylation of PML and tumor suppression events occur in response to arsenite (As) treatment. Soluble PML is rapidly modified to the insoluble form in response to As, yet the relationship between the solubility change and nuclear localization of PML and PML-nuclear body (PML-NB) proteins remained elusive. We have investigated differences in the solubility change of well-known PML-NB proteins such as death-associated protein 6 (DAXX), SUMO, and PML in genetically engineered HEK293, and Jurkat and HL60 cells. The solubility of PML and SUMO2/3 monomers in RIPA solution decreased in 2 h in response to As. Live image analysis of GFP-PML revealed that extranuclear PML was insoluble in RIPA irrespective of the As-treatment and PML in PML-NBs, which was soluble in the untreated cells, was converted to insoluble forms by As. The solubility of DAXX was not changed by As, even though PML and DAXX co-localized completely in the subcellular compartments. Murine double mutant 2 (MDM2), which is known to interacts with intranuclear PML, did not affect the As-induced solubility change of PML. These results indicate that As selectively reorganizes PML and SUMO2/3 monomers into insoluble forms in PML-NBs, and then PML SUMOylation proceeds.

We propose an alternative data-free deep learning method using a physics-informed neural network (PINN) to enable more efficient computation of light diffraction from 3D optical metasurfaces, modeling of corresponding polarization effects, and wavefront manipulation. Our model learns only from the governing physics represented by vector Maxwell's equations, Floquet-Bloch boundary conditions, and perfectly matched layers (PML). PINN accurately simulates near-field and far-field responses, and the impact of polarization, meta-atom geometry, and illumination settings on the transmitted light.

JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) establishes a persistent, asymptomatic kidney infection in most of the population. However, JCPyV can reactivate in immunocompromised individuals and cause progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a fatal demyelinating disease with no approved treatment. Mutations in the hypervariable non-coding control region (NCCR) of the JCPyV genome have been linked to disease outcomes and neuropathogenesis, yet few metanalyses document these associations.

An obstacle for many microfluidic developments is the fabrication of its structures, which is often complex, time-consuming, and expensive. Additive manufacturing can help to reduce these barriers. This study investigated whether the results of a microfluidic assay for the detection of the promyelocytic leukemia (PML)-retinoic acid receptor α (RARα) fusion protein (PML::RARA), and thus for the differential diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), could be transferred from borosilicate glass microfluidic structures to additively manufactured fluidics.

Background: Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is characterized by abnormal promyelocytes and t(15;17)(q24;q21) . Rarely, patients may have cryptic or variant rearrangements. All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)/arsenic trioxide (ATO) is largely curative provided that the diagnosis is established early.

Donor cell leukemia (DCL), in which malignancy evolves from donor's stem cells, is an infrequent complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) derived from donor cell is extremely rare and only four cases have been reported to date. Herein we report a case of donor cell-derived APL developing 32 months after haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation using posttransplant cyclophosphamide for myelodysplastic syndromes.
