Blimp-1 Orchestrates Plasma Cell Differentiation by Extinguishing the Mature B Cell Gene Expression Program

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
These findings suggest that Blimp-1 promotes plasmacytic differentiation by extinguishing gene expression important for B cell receptor signaling, germinal center B cell function, and proliferation while allowing expression of important plasma cell genes such as XBP-1.

Splenic Dendritic Cells and Macrophages Drive B Cells to Adopt a Plasmablast Cell Fate

TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined the response of B cells specific for the immunodominant circumsporozoite protein (CSP) and found that B cell fate is determined in part by the organ environment in which priming occurs, with the majority of the CSP-specific B cell response being derived from splenic plasmablasts.

CRAC Channel Controls the Differentiation of Pathogenic B Cells in Lupus Nephritis

TL;DR: In this paper, RNA-seq analysis revealed that calcium transmembrane transport and calcium channel activity were enhanced in naive B cells from patients with lupus nephritis, implying a role of CRAC channel in B-cell dysregulation in LN.

Potential Pathogenic Impact of Cow’s Milk Consumption and Bovine Milk-Derived Exosomal MicroRNAs in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

TL;DR: The potential impact of milk-related agents, predominantly milk-derived exosomes (MDEs) and their microRNAs (miRs) in lymphomagenesis was investigated in this paper , which indicated that during the breastfeeding period, human MDE miRs support B cell proliferation via epigenetic upregulation of BCL6 and suppression of BLIMP1/PR domain-containing protein 1 (PRDM1).

"Null" Phenotype of persistently KSHV-infected B-Lymphocytes

TL;DR: This study demonstrated that the “null” phenotype is caused by a soluble factor(s) released from KSHV-infected B-cells, suggesting that the’null’ phenotype serves as a mechanism for immune escape.

Cluster analysis and display of genome-wide expression patterns

TL;DR: A system of cluster analysis for genome-wide expression data from DNA microarray hybridization is described that uses standard statistical algorithms to arrange genes according to similarity in pattern of gene expression, finding in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that clustering gene expression data groups together efficiently genes of known similar function.

Class Switch Recombination and Hypermutation Require Activation-Induced Cytidine Deaminase (AID), a Potential RNA Editing Enzyme

TL;DR: Results suggest that AID may be involved in regulation or catalysis of the DNA modification step of both class switching and somatic hypermutation in CH12F3-2 B lymphoma.

IRE1 couples endoplasmic reticulum load to secretory capacity by processing the XBP-1 mRNA

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that mutations in either ire-1 or the transcription-factor-encoding xbp-1 gene abolished the UPR in Caenorhabditis elegans, suggesting that physiological ER load regulates a developmental decision in higher eukaryotes.

c-Myc target genes involved in cell growth, apoptosis, and metabolism

TL;DR: The c-myc gene was discovered as the cellular homolog of the retroviral v- myc oncogene 20 years ago and found to be activated in various animal and human tumors, suggesting that it is critical for development.
