A spontaneous AKR female mouse lymphoma was transplanted with its thymus cell suspension (10(6) cells i.p.) into AKR female mice. Lymph node cell suspension derived from one of the leukemic mice was injected (10(6) cells i.p.) into AKR females. The lymphoma cells "homing" to the thymus of one of the AKR females were suspended in Parker solution and 5 X 10(6) cells were given i.p. 5 (C3H X AKR) F3 hybrid mice (group 1). The lymphoma cells "homing" to the spleen of the same AKR female were also suspended, and 5 X 10(6) cells were injected i.p. into 5 (C3H X AKR) F3 hybrids (group 2). Chromosomes were prepared from the thymus and the spleen of two mice in both groups. The karyotypes derived from the hybrids of group 1 were compared to that of the group 2. It was found that the lymphoma cells "homing" to the thymus could be characterized by the trisomy of chromosome 15, while the lymphoma cells "homing" to the spleen had primarily the trisomy of chromosome 18. The results indicate that the thymus manifestation of the spontaneous AKR lymphoma is heterogeneous, and it contains at least two major subpopulations of the lymphoma cells.

Marek's disease (MD), a T cell lymphoma disease in chickens, is caused by the Marek's disease virus (MDV) found ubiquitously in the poultry industry. Genetically resistant Line 6 (L6) and susceptible Line 7 (L7) chickens have been instrumental to research on avian immune system response to MDV infection. In this study we characterized molecular signatures unique to splenic immune cell types across different genetic backgrounds 6 days after infection.

ETV6::RUNX1 is the most common fusion gene in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) associated with favorable prognosis, but the optimal therapy for this subtype remains unclear. Profiling the genomic and pharmacological landscape of 194 pediatric ETV6::RUNX1 ALL cases, we uncover two transcriptomic clusters, C1 (61%) and C2 (39%). Compared to C1, the C2 subtype features higher white blood cell counts and younger age at diagnosis, as well as better early treatment responses.

Primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphomas account for 1.9-3% of all brain tumors, with the majority being histologically classified as primary large B-cell lymphoma of the CNS (PCNS-LBCL). PCNS-LBCL is characterized by mature germinal center-exit B cells, and most cases of this phenotype are classified as activated B-cell-like phenotype according to gene expression profiling, or as non-germinal center B-cell-like phenotype (non-GCB type) according to Hans's algorithm.

2,3,7,8-tetrachlordibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) belongs to the category of persistent environmental pollutants, and gestational exposure to TCDD can lead to cognitive, memory, and motor deficits, as well as altered neuron development in rodents. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying TCDD's neurotoxicity remine unclear. Neural stem cells (NSCs) possess the capacity for self-renewal and can generate various cell types within the brain, playing fundamental roles in brain development and regeneration.

Colorectal cancer (CRC), one of the diseases posing a threat to global health, according to the latest data, is the third most common cancer globally and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. The development and refinement of novel structures of small molecular compounds play a crucial role in tumor treatment and overcoming drug resistance. In this study, our objective was to screen and characterize novel compounds for overcoming drug resistance via the B Lymphoma Mo-MLV insertion region 1 (Bmi-1) reporter screen assay.
