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.

Putting J Chain Back on the Map: How Might Its Expression Define Plasma Cell Development?

TL;DR: J chain is discussed in light of the various proposed models of its expression and regulation, with an added focus on its evolutionary significance, as well as its expression in different B cell lineages/differentiation states.

Homeostatic expansion of autoreactive immunoglobulin-secreting cells in the Rag2 mouse model of Omenn syndrome

TL;DR: The detection of plasma cells in lymphoid organs of OS patients, in which circulating B cells are undetectable, highlights a role for B cells in OS pathogenesis and hypothesizes that impaired B cell receptor editing and a serum B cell activating factor (BAFF) abundance might contribute toward the development of a pathogenic B cell repertoire in hypomorphic Rag2R229Q knock-in mice.

Absence of the Transcriptional Repressor Blimp-1 in Hematopoietic Lineages Reveals Its Role in Dendritic Cell Homeostatic Development and Function

TL;DR: Findings reveal two new roles for Blimp-1: negative regulation of a select subset of cDCs during homeostatic development, and enhancement of DC maturation.

Functional Analysis of Histone Methyltransferase G9a in B and T Lymphocytes

TL;DR: Findings indicate that the H3K9me2 epigenetic mark affects a highly restricted set of processes during lymphocyte development and activation.

Endoplasmic reticulum stress and the making of a professional secretory cell

TL;DR: Together, these pathways are integrated into a complex circuitry that can be modulated in various ways, not only to cope with various stress conditions, but also to fine-tune the capacity of the ER folding machinery when precursor cells differentiate into professional secretory cells.

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.
