Published: May 2023

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a common cancer affecting children worldwide. The development of ALL is driven by several genes, some of which can be targeted for treatment by inhibiting gene fusions. PAX5 is frequently mutated in ALL and is involved in chromosomal rearrangements and translocations. Mutations in PAX5 interact with other genes, such as ETV6 and FOXP1, which influence B-cell development. PAX5/ETV6 has been observed in both B-ALL patients and a mouse model. The interaction between PAX5 and FOXP1 negatively suppresses the Pax5 gene in B-ALL patients. Additionally, ELN and PML genes have been found to fuse with PAX5, leading to adverse effects on B-cell differentiation. ELN-PAX5 interaction results in the decreased expression of LEF1, MB1, and BLNK, while PML-PAX5 is critical in the early stages of leukemia. PAX5 fusion genes prevent the transcription of the PAX5 gene, making it an essential target gene for the study of leukemia progression and the diagnosis of B-ALL.

Identifying cellular markers within archived formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues is critical for understanding tissue landscapes impacting animal health, but in situ detection methods are limited in veterinary species by a restricted toolbox of species-compatible immunoreagents. We identify antibodies with conserved in situ reactivity to IBA-1 (macrophages/dendritic cells), CD3ε (T cells), Pax5 (B cells), Ki-67 (cycling cells), and cytokeratin type I/II (epithelial cells) in FFPE tissues of pigs, cattle, and white-tailed deer. Multiplexed brightfield detection (IBA-1/CD3ε/Pax5) in lymph nodes of all three species demonstrated species-specific and species-conserved features of cellular architecture.

Introduction: There is consistent evidence that may be a driver gene in B-ALL and that selected cases may benefit from the use of FLT3 inhibitors. Our study was conducted to evaluate the frequency and types of FLT3 mutations in pediatric patients with B-ALL, the relative expression of this gene, and their influence on clinical evolution.

Methods: We evaluated 156 children with B-ALL treated between July 2018 and September 2023.

Background: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) contributes significantly to global health challenges, presenting primarily in the oral cavity, pharynx, nasopharynx, and larynx. HNSCC has a high propensity for lymphatic metastasis. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, exhibits significant heterogeneity and aggressive behavior, leading to high mortality rates.

Background Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) is a lymphoid malignancy originating from germinal center B cells, predominantly affecting young adults. The clinical profile, histologic subtypes, and immunohistochemical (IHC) patterns play crucial roles in diagnosing cHL and predicting prognosis. This study examines the prevalence, clinicopathological features, and IHC patterns of cHL at Dr.
