    Abstract Maintenance of tissue-specific stem cells is vital for organ homeostasis and organismal longevity. Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are the most primitive cell type in the hematopoietic system. They divide asymmetrically and give rise to daughter cells with HSC identity (self-renewal) and progenitor progenies (differentiation), which further proliferate and differentiate into full hematopoietic lineages. Mammalian ageing process is accompanied with abnormalities in the HSC self-renewal and differentiation. Transcriptional changes and epigenetic modulations have been implicated as the key regulators in HSC ageing process. The DNA damage response (DDR) in the cells involves an orchestrated signaling pathway, consisting of cell cycle regulation, cell death and senescence, transcriptional regulation, as well as chromatin remodeling. Recent studies employing DNA repair-deficient mouse models indicate that DDR could intrinsically and extrinsically regulate HSC maintenance and play important roles in tissue homeostasis of the hematopoietic system. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of how the DDR determines the HSC fates and finally contributes to organismal ageing.

    Abstract The MRN complex (Mre11/Rad50/Nbs1) is important in double-strand break (DSB) recognition, end resection, replication fork stabilization, and ATM and ATR activation. Complete deletion of MRN is incompatible with cell and organism life, presumably due to replication-born DSBs; however, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. We devised a noninvasive high-content assay, termed high-content microscopy-assisted cell-cycle phenotyping (hiMAC), to investigate the fate of cells lacking Nbs1. Surprisingly, deletion of Nbs1 does not kill cells during replication. The primary lesions in Nbs1-deleted cells are replication intermediates that result from defective resolution rather than fork destabilization. These lesions are converted to DSBs in the subsequent G2 phase, which subsequently activate Chk1, delay G2 progression, and lead to chromosome instability. Nbs1-deleted cells establish a DSB equilibrium that permits cell cycling but activates p53, causing G1 and G2 arrest, and cell death. Thus, we identify a physiological role of Nbs1 in the resolution of stalled replication forks.

    Abstract In autoimmune diseases, a highly complex network comprising diverse cytokines and their receptors on immune cells drives the inflammatory response. A number of therapeutic antibodies targeting these disease-related molecules have been approved for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Bispecific antibodies (bsAbs), with binding specificity for two different target molecules, have recently been developed for a range of autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and psoriasis, and tested in clinical trials. This review briefly describes the three main categories of bsAb structures developed for autoimmune diseases, including immunoglobulin G (IgG)-like, natural IgG, and tandem antibody fragment formats. The bsAbs developed and evaluated to date mainly target the depletion of T or B cells, the inhibition of T cell differentiation or activation, or the neutralization of proinflammatory cytokines. The clinical evaluation of bsAbs in autoimmune diseases is ongoing, with both successes (phase II trials of obexelimab in systemic lupus erythematosus) and failures (phase II trials of lutikizumab in osteoarthritis and romilkimab in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis), and this review aims to provide a comprehensive, up-to-date summary of the clinical progress of bsAbs in this therapeutic area. Although many challenges remain, bsAbs offer new therapeutic options in the future direction of autoimmune disease treatments.

    Abstract Immunodeficiency and lymphoid malignancy are hallmarks of the human disease Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS; OMIM 251260), which is caused by NBS1 mutations. Although NBS1 has been shown to bind to the T-cell receptor alpha (TCRα) locus, its role in TCRβ rearrangement is unclear. Hypomorphic mutations of Nbs1 in mice and patients result in relatively mild T-cell deficiencies, raising the question of whether the truncated Nbs1 protein might have clouded a certain function of NBS1 in T-cell development. Here we show that the deletion of the entire Nbs1 protein in T-cell precursors (Nbs1T-del) results in severe lymphopenia and a hindrance to the double-negative 3 (DN3)-to-DN4 transition in early T-cell development, due to abnormal TCRβ coding and signal joints as well as the functions of Nbs1 in T-cell expansion. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis of the TCR loci reveals that Nbs1 depletion compromises the loading of Mre11/Rad50 to V(D)J-generated DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and thereby affects resection of DNA termini and chromatin conformation of the postcleavage complex. Although a p53 deficiency relieves the DN3→DN4 transition block, neither a p53 deficiency nor ectopic expression of TCRαβ rescues the major T-cell loss in Nbs1T-del mice. All together, these results demonstrate that Nbs1's functions in both repair of V(D)J-generated DSBs and proliferation are essential for T-cell development.

    Abstract Carcinoma showing thymus-like differentiation (CASTLE), which emerges within the thyroid gland or the adjacent soft tissues of the neck, is a rare malignant neoplasm found globally. The occurrence of CASTLE in conjunction with papillary thyroid carcinoma is an even more infrequent phenomenon. The ensuing sections elaborate upon the clinical attributes characteristic of CASTLE.

  8. Article: Unexpected diffuse lung lesions in a patient with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis: A case report.

    Abstract Background: Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) often presents nonspecifically and can be easily confused with: (1) Idiopathic interstitial lung fibrosis; (2) alveolar carcinoma; (3) pulmonary tuberculosis; and (4) other lung diseases such as viral pneumonia, mycoplasma pneumonia, and chlamydial pneumonia.
    Case summary: Diagnosis: In this case, a patient was diagnosed with PAP through transbronchial cryobiopsy (TBCB) and quantitative metagenomic next-generation sequencing, which confirmed the impairment of surfactant turnover as the underlying cause of PAP. Interventions: High-volume total lung lavage was performed for this patient. Outcomes: The patient's clinical condition had improved significantly by the 6-month follow-up, with a 92% finger oxygen saturation. A repeat chest computed tomography scan revealed scattered patchy ground-glass shadows in both lungs, which was consistent with alveolar protein deposition but with a lower density than in the radiograph from October 23, 2022.
    Conclusion: TBCB has unique advantages in diagnosing atypical alveolar protein deposition, particularly for enabling the early detection of PAP. This information can help patients take preventive measures to prevent or halt PAP development by avoiding dusty environments and seeking treatment with total lung lavage and inhaled granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor.

    Abstract The need for novel therapeutics against human cancers such as leukemias and solid tumors is well recognized. Human T cells are poised to make a fundamental change in the therapeutic approach. T-cell interaction with a tumor cell is a critical event and primarily driven by T-cell receptor (TCR) recognition of peptide in the pocket HLA. However, among TCR-based T-cell therapies, either TCR mismatching or the low density of major histocompatibility complex causes tumor cells to escape from the immune response. TCR molecules have low binding affinities, preventing their recognitions. Undoubtedly, antibody therapeutics is an effective treatment for cancer. As the new generation of monoclonal antibodies, TCR-like antibodies can mimic TCR recognition but are not susceptible for mechanisms of tumor evasion from the immune response. As chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) structure expressed on the surface of T cells, TCR-like antibodies can confer antigen specificity to T cells. The new TCR-like CAR may be important to drive new technologies of adoptive cell therapy, in particular, T-cell therapy, and open possibilities to target endogenous tumor-specific antigens.
