Background: Although DNAM-1 is an activating receptor constitutively expressed on the majority of NK cells, CD8 T cells, CD4 T cells, monocytes, and platelets in human, several evidences demonstrated that a small population in B-lineage cells also expressed DNAM-1. However, the expression profile of DNAM-1 on B-lineage cells and its function remain obscure. Previous reports revealed that a considerable number of leukocytes including B cells in the peripheral blood conjugated to platelet. Thus, the proportion of DNAM-1 B-lineage cells determined by flow cytometry analysis in the previous reports might be overestimated.
Methods: We examined whether platelets conjugate B cells and then analyzed the expression of DNAM-1 on the subpopulations of B-lineage cells according to their maturation stages after exclusion of platelet-conjugated B cells. We also assessed the involvement of DNAM-1 in IL-10 and antibody production from cultured B-lineage cells stimulated with CpG-ODN.
Results: Approximately 10% of human DNAM-1 CD19 B cells in the peripheral blood conjugated to platelets, resulting in the overestimation of the proportion of DNAM-1 B cells. After exclusion of platelet-conjugating B cells, we show that DNAM-1 expression was detected on subpopulations of memory B cells, plasmablasts, and plasma cells and upregulated by stimulation with CpG-ODN. Moreover, DNAM-1 was involved in IL-10 and antibody productions by B cells after CpG-ODN stimulation.
Conclusions: DNAM-1 may be involved in B-lineage cell-mediated immune responses.

Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is the most common childhood malignancy that remains a leading cause of death in childhood. It may be characterised by multiple known recurrent genetic aberrations that inform prognosis, the most common being hyperdiploidy and t(12;21) . We aimed to assess the applicability of a new imaging flow cytometry methodology that incorporates cell morphology, immunophenotype, and fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) to identify aneuploidy of chromosomes 4 and 21 and the translocation .

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) combining monoclonal antibodies with cytotoxic payloads are a rapidly emerging class of immune-based therapeutics with the potential to improve the treatment of cancer, including children with relapse/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). CD123, the α subunit of the interleukin-3 receptor, is overexpressed in ALL and is a potential therapeutic target. Here, we show that pivekimab sunirine (PVEK), a recently developed ADC comprising the CD123-targeting antibody, G4723A, and the cytotoxic payload, DGN549, was highly effective in vivo against a large panel of pediatric ALL patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models ( = 39).

Energy metabolism of immune cells, such as glycolysis and mitochondrial activity, requires strict regulation. This is especially critical in the complex environment of the bone marrow (BM), where there is a need to both preserve the quiescence of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and guarantee timed and effective lineage differentiation of the HSCs. Recent advances highlight the critical roles played by bioactive metabolites in regulating hematopoiesis.

Anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR) are a well-established treatment option for children and young adults suffering from relapsed/refractory B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Bridging therapy is used to control disease prior to start of lymphodepletion before CAR infusion and thereby improve efficacy of CAR therapy. However, the effect of different bridging strategies on outcome, side effects and response to CAR therapy is still poorly understood.

The maintenance of cellular redox balance is crucial for cell survival and homeostasis and is disrupted with aging. Selenoproteins, comprising essential antioxidant enzymes, raise intriguing questions about their involvement in hematopoietic aging and potential reversibility. Motivated by our observation of mRNA downregulation of key antioxidant selenoproteins in aged human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and previous findings of increased lipid peroxidation in aged hematopoiesis, we employed tRNASec gene (Trsp) knockout (KO) mouse model to simulate disrupted selenoprotein synthesis.
