Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is characterized by poor outcomes. We and others have shown that targeting the NEDD8-activating enzyme (NAE) with an investigational inhibitor pevonedistat deregulates cell cycle and mitosis in lymphoma and leukemia. Here, we report that PTCL is characterized by increased rate of chromosomal instability. NAE inhibition promotes cell cycle arrest and induces multipolar anaphases in T-cell lymphoma cell lines, resulting in apoptosis, also observed in primary malignant PTCL cells treated with pevonedistat. We identified p27 as a mediator of anaphase catastrophe in these cells. Targeting neddylation with pevonedistat may be a promising approach to treatment of PTCL.

Rearrangements of cytokine receptor-like factor 2 gene (CRLF2) are present in ∼50% of B-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (B-ALL) with BCR::ABL1-like features. Herein, we report three patients with CRLF2-rearranged mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL). All three cases were B/myeloid MPAL in young patients harboring P2RY8::CRLF2 or IGH::CRLF2 with additional genomic alterations in signaling (JAK and RAS) and cell cycle (CDKN2A/B) pathways, a genomic profile similar to that in BCR::ABL1-like B-ALL.

Hypermethylation of tumor suppressor genes is a hallmark of leukemia. The hypomethylating agent decitabine covalently binds, and degrades DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1). Structural similarities within DNA-binding domains of DNMT1, and the leukemic driver histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2A (KMT2A) suggest that decitabine might also affect the latter.

Hypo-osmotic stress shifts transcription of circadian genes.

Dept. of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, 100 Institute Rd. Worcester, MA 01609. Electronic address:

Cells respond to hypo-osmotic stress by initial swelling followed by intracellular increases in the number of osmolytes and initiation of gene transcription that allow cells to adapt to the stress. Here, we have studied the genes that change expression under mild hypo-osmotic stress for 12 and 24 hours in rat cultured smooth muscle cells (WKO-3M22). We find shifts in the transcription of many genes, several of which are associated with circadian rhythm, such as per1, nr1d1, per2, dbp, and Ciart.

Recent advances in biomarkers for senescence: Bridging basic research to clinic.

Geriatr Gerontol Int

January 2025

Department of Advanced Senotherapeutics and Department of Cardiovascular Biology and Medicine, Juntendo University Graduate School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.

In this review, we review the current status of biomarkers for aging and possible perspectives on anti-aging or rejuvenation from the standpoint of biomarkers. Aging is observed in all cells and organs, and we focused on research into senescence in the skin, musculoskeletal system, immune system, and cardiovascular system. Commonly used biomarkers include SA-βgal, cell-cycle markers, senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors, damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), and DNA-damage-related markers.

The therapeutic role of naringenin nanoparticles on hepatocellular carcinoma.

BMC Pharmacol Toxicol

January 2025

Biochemistry Department, Faculty of Science, Tanta University, Tanta, Egypt.

Background: Naringenin, a flavonoid compound found in citrus fruits, possesses valuable anticancer properties. However, its potential application in cancer treatment is limited by poor bioavailability and pharmacokinetics at tumor sites. To address this, Naringenin nanoparticles (NARNPs) were prepared using the emulsion diffusion technique and their anticancer effects were investigated in HepG2 cells.
