    Epigenetic Control Over Cell-Intrinsic Immune Response Antagonizes Self-Renewal in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

    Researchers unveiled the histone demethylase PHF8 as a direct initiator and regulator of cell-intrinsic immune response in acute myeloid leukemia. Site-specific phosphorylation of PHF8 orchestrated epigenetic changes that upregulate cytosolic RNA sensors.

    Centrosome Amplification and Aneuploidy Driven by the HIV-1-Induced Vpr•VprBP•Plk4 Complex in CD4+ T Cells

    Investigators observed that approximately 1–5% of CD4+ T cells from the blood of people living with HIV-1 exhibited over-duplicated centrioles, suggesting that centrosome amplification underlied the development of HIV-1-associated cancers by driving aneuploidy.

    Human Neutrophils Drive Skin Autoinflammation by Releasing Interleukin (IL)-26

    Researchers identified neutrophils as an important source of IL-26 and point to IL-26 as the key link between neutrophils and a self-sustaining autoinflammation loop in pustular psoriasis.

    The FLRT3-UNC5B Checkpoint Pathway Inhibits T Cell–Based Cancer Immunotherapies

    Using gain-of-function genetic screens, researchers profiled axon guidance proteins on human T cells and their cognate ligands and identified fibronectin leucine-rich transmembrane protein 3 (FLRT3) as a ligand that inhibits T cell activity.

    Myb Overexpression Synergizes with the Loss of Pten and Is a Dependency Factor and Therapeutic Target in T Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia

    Researchers found that an increased copy number of MYB was associated with higher MYB expression levels, and might be associated with inferior event-free survival of pediatric T-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients.

    Changes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Specific Antigen-Stimulated CD27−CD38+ T Cells before and after Anti-Tuberculosis Treatment

    Scientists investigated whether the expression of CD27−CD38+ in interferon (IFN)-γ+CD4+ T cells stimulated by the specific antigen early secreted antigenic target-6/culture filter protein-10 could be a potential new therapeutic evaluation indicator for anti-tuberculosis treatment.
