Rap1 Is Essential for B-Cell Locomotion, Germinal Center Formation and Normal B-1a Cell Population

Sayaka Ishihara, Tsuyoshi Sato, Risa Sugioka, Ryota Miwa, Haruka Saito, Ryota Sato, Hidehiro Fukuyama, Akihiko Nakajima, Satoshi Sawai, Ai Kotani, Koko Katagiri

Summary: The regulation of integrins by Rap1 is essential for lymphocyte recirculation, as demonstrated in mice with B-cell-specific Rap1a/b double knockouts. This deficiency leads to a significant decrease in B cells in lymph nodes and impaired germinal center formation and antibody production upon immunization. Additionally, Rap1 deficiency affects the positioning of B cells and their interaction with stromal cells, influencing humoral responses and B-1a cell generation.

The chromatin reader protein ING5 is required for normal hematopoietic cell numbers in the fetal liver

Sophia Y. Y. Mah, Hannah K. Vanyai, Yuqing Yang, Anne K. Voss, Tim Thomas

Summary: ING5 is a component of KAT6A and KAT7 histone lysine acetylation complexes and functions as a 'reader' and adaptor protein by binding to trimethylated histone H3 lysine 4. The absence of ING5 during development leads to decreased foetal liver cellularity, hematopoietic stem cell numbers, and perturbed erythropoiesis. Additionally, Ing5(-/-) pups display hypoplastic spleens. However, competitive transplantation experiments show that the defects observed during the foetal stage are not cell intrinsic, suggesting that ING5 is dispensable for normal hematopoiesis but may be required for timely foetal hematopoiesis in a cell-extrinsic manner.

Common Variable Immunodeficiency: More Pathways than Roads to Rome

Xiao P. Peng, Andres Caballero-Oteyza, Bodo Grimbacher

Summary: It has been 50 years since the introduction of the term common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), which has undergone numerous revisions in its understanding and application for diagnosis and management. The classification and definition of CVID remain controversial, but the expanded understanding of its genotypic and phenotypic overlap with other immunological conditions has been greatly enhanced by routine genotyping of CVID patients, which has revealed a diverse range of pathophysiological mechanisms. The lessons learned from CVID biology have greatly contributed to our understanding of both adaptive and innate immunity.

Summary: Over the past two decades, three generations of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) have been developed to target the BCR::ABL1 oncoprotein to successfully treat chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). However, the daily administration of TKIs cannot be stopped to maintain a definitive remission state, resulting in unwanted side effects in the long term. New pharmacological approaches, such as the combination of bis-biguanides and TKIs, have been proposed to improve the sensitivity of TKI-insensitive leukemic stem cells (LSCs).

Thomas Wunderlich, Nadine Hoevelmeyer, Simon Fillatreau

Summary: This study reveals that AKT is involved in the formation of marginal zone (MZ) B cells in both mice and humans. By manipulating AKT signaling in B cells and its impact on FoxO transcription factors, the AKT-FoxO axis is identified as a switch for MZ B cell formation in mice. This developmental pathway is conserved in humans, where AKT-dependent splenic IgD+CD27+ B cells are proposed as the equivalent of MZ B cells.

Summary: Telomere biology disorders (TBD) are genetic diseases caused by pathogenic variants in genes related to telomere maintenance. TBD can manifest in adulthood and have variable symptoms, making diagnosis complicated. Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is an antibody deficiency syndrome caused by dysfunctional B lymphocytes. In our study, we found that approximately 22% of CVID patients carried rare candidate variants in telomere-associated genes. We recommend including all TBD-associated genes in the genetic screening of patients with antibody deficiencies.
