Background: There are no studies belong NOTCH2 gene polymorphism in relation to reproductive and productive traits in Holstein cattle. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of NOTCH2 gene polymorphisms on productive and reproductive performance of fertile and anestrum cattle.
Methods: The cattle were classified into anestrus for 3-12 months postpartum (n = 115, 37.7%) and normal cyclic fertile (n = 190, 62.3%). Age at 1st calving, calving interval, calf birth weight, milk yield and days of milking data were obtained from the farm records for all animals. Blood samples were collected from fertile and anestrum animals for DNA extraction and the PCR as well as single-strand conformation polymorphism techniques (SSCP) were performed for detection of the NOTCH2 gene polymorphism.
Results: The sequencing results showed that NOTCH2 gene in cattle is polymorphic with 5 genotypes AA, AG, GG, CC and CT. Four novel SNPs as transition single base substitution mutations were detected at 3: 23,192,033 (A/G), 3:23192149 (C/T), 3:23192071 (C/T) and 3:23192143 (G/A). GG genotype of NOTCH2 gene was associated with shorter calving interval and heavier calf birth weight in both fertile and anestrum cattle.
Conclusions: NOTCH2 gene in cattle could be used as a genetic marker involved in reproductive traits in both fertile and anestrum cattle.

Innate-like splenic marginal zone (MZ) B (MZB) cells play unique roles in immunity due to their rapid responsiveness to blood-borne microbes. How MZB cells integrate cell-extrinsic and -intrinsic processes to achieve accelerated responsiveness is unclear. We found that Delta-like1 (Dll1) Notch ligands in splenic fibroblasts regulated MZB cell pool size, migration, and function.

Introduction: Large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) taxonomy has moved in the direction of a molecular classification, but further clinical experience is needed. We present high-risk gene mutations, which predict outcome in an exploratory study of a consecutive real-world cohort of patients with primary LBCL treated with R-CHOP or R-CHOP-like therapy.
Methods: The study was a Registry Study Research Project.

Constitutively active NOTCH2 signaling is a hallmark in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The precise underlying defect remains obscure. Here we show that the mRNA sequence coding for the NOTCH2 negative regulatory region (NRR) is consistently deleted in CLL cells.

A tri-protein complex containing NICD, RBPj and MAML1 binds DNA as monomer or as cooperative dimers to regulate transcription. Mice expressing Notch dimerization-deficient alleles (NDD) of Notch1 and Notch2 are sensitized to environmental insults but otherwise develop and age normally. Transcriptomic analysis of colonic spheroids uncovered no evidence of dimer-dependent target gene miss-regulation, confirmed impaired stem cell maintenance in-vitro, and discovered an elevated signature of epithelial innate immune response to symbionts, a likely underlying cause for heightened sensitivity in NDD mice.
