    Abstract In this review, I discuss the currently available experimental evidence concerning the molecular interactions of the activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) with transcription of its target genes. The basic question that underlies the transcription relationship is how the process of somatic hypermutation of Ig genes can be restricted to their variable (V) regions. This hallmark of SHM assures that high affinity antibodies can be created while the biological functions of their constant (C) region are undisturbed. I present a revised model of AID function in somatic hypermutation (SHM): In a B cell that produces AID protein and undergoes mutation of the V regions of the expressed Ig heavy and light chain genes, only some of the transcription complexes initiating at the active V-region promoters are associated with AID. When AID travels with the elongating RNA polymerase (pol), it attracts proteins that cause the pausing/stalling of pol and termination of transcription, followed by termination of SHM. This differential AID loading model would allow the mutating B cell to continue producing full-length Ig proteins that are required to avoid apoptosis by permitting the cell to assemble functional B cell receptors.

    Abstract Reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) and nonmyeloablative (NMA) conditioning regimens have expanded use of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in AML to include older and medically less-fit patients, but relative efficacies and toxicities remain poorly defined. Here, we analyzed outcomes from 343 adults transplanted in remission after RIC (n = 137) or NMA (n = 206) conditioning between 2006 and 2021. The characteristics of RIC and NMA HCT patients were similar except that RIC patients were younger and their time between most recent remission achievement and allografting was shorter. There were no significant differences in relapse risk, relapse-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS), and non-relapse mortality (NRM) between RIC and NMA HCT patients, both overall (relapse: hazard ratio [HR] = 0.80, P = 0.27; RFS: HR = 0.93, P = 0.61; OS: HR = 0.93, P = 0.66; NRM: HR = 1.13, P = 0.59) and when patients were stratified by pre-HCT measurable residual disease (MRD) status. After multivariable adjustment, there was no statistically significant association between conditioning intensity and relapse (HR = 0.69, P = 0.088), RFS (HR = 0.86, P = 0.37), OS (HR = 0.89, P = 0.49), or NRM (HR = 1.37, P = 0.19). In this non-randomized cohort of adults undergoing allografting for AML in first or second remission at our center, we could not detect statistically significant differences in outcomes between those assigned to RIC and those assigned to NMA conditioning.

    Abstract Ssm1b (Strain-specific modifier of DNA methylation 1b) is a Krüppel-associated box (KRAB) zinc finger gene that promotes CpG methylation in the mouse transgene HRD (Heavy chain enhancer, rearrangement by deletion). We report here that Ssm1b expression and concomitant HRD methylation are also present in the male and female germ cells of adult mice. Ssm1b is expressed in both diploid (2N) and haploid (1N) oocytes, as well as in 1N spermatids and spermatozoa, but not in 2N spermatogonia. Interestingly, Ssm1b mRNA is not detected in any other adult mouse organ examined, although Ssm1-family mRNAs are highly expressed in the heart. Reflecting strain specificity, Ssm1b expression and HRD methylation are not observed in early-stage C3H/HeJ mouse embryos; however, an Ssm1b-like gene that closely resembles an Ssm1b-like gene previously found in wild-derived mice is expressed in cultured embryonic stem cells derived from C3H/HeJ embryos, suggesting that culture conditions affect its expression. Collectively, this work demonstrates that HRD methylation by Ssm1b is more temporally restricted during spermatogenesis compared to oogenesis, and is altered when embryonic stem cells are cultured from C3H/HeJ inner cell mass cells.
