Abstract
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells harbor evolutionarily conserved TCRs, suggesting important functions. As human and mouse MAIT functional programs appear distinct, the evolutionarily conserved MAIT functional features remain unidentified. Using species-specific tetramers coupled to single-cell RNA sequencing, we characterized MAIT cell development in six species spanning 110 million years of evolution. Cross-species analyses revealed conserved transcriptional events underlying MAIT cell maturation, marked by ZBTB16 induction in all species. MAIT cells in human, sheep, cattle, and opossum acquired a shared type-1/17 transcriptional program, reflecting ancestral features. This program was also acquired by human iNKT cells, indicating common differentiation for innate-like T cells. Distinct type-1 and type-17 MAIT subsets developed in rodents, including pet mice and genetically diverse mouse strains. However, MAIT cells further matured in mouse intestines to acquire a remarkably conserved program characterized by concomitant expression of type-1, type-17, cytotoxicity, and tissue-repair genes. Altogether, the study provides a unifying view of the transcriptional features of innate-like T cells across evolution.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the impact of PHF6 alterations on clinical outcome and therapeutical actionability in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We described PHF6 alterations in an adult cohort of T-ALL from the French trial Group for Research on Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (GRAALL)-2003/2005 and retrospectively analyzed clinical outcomes between PHF6-altered (PHF6ALT) and wild-type patients. We also used EPIC and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing data of patient samples to analyze the epigenetic landscape of PHF6ALT T-ALLs. We consecutively evaluated 5-azacitidine efficacy, alone or combined with venetoclax, in PHF6ALT T-ALL. RESULTS We show that PHF6 alterations account for 47% of cases in our cohort and demonstrate that PHF6ALT T-ALL presented significantly better clinical outcomes. Integrative analysis of DNA methylation and histone marks shows that PHF6ALT are characterized by DNA hypermethylation and H3K27me3 loss at promoters physiologically bivalent in thymocytes. Using patient-derived xenografts, we show that PHF6ALT T-ALL respond to the 5-azacytidine alone. Finally, synergism with the BCL2-inhibitor venetoclax was demonstrated in refractory/relapsing (R/R) PHF6ALT T-ALL using fresh samples. Importantly, we report three cases of R/R PHF6ALT patients who were successfully treated with this combination. CONCLUSIONS Overall, our study supports the use of PHF6 alterations as a biomarker of sensitivity to 5-azacytidine and venetoclax combination in R/R T-ALL.

Abstract
The reintegration of excised signal joints resulting from human V(D)J recombination was described as a potent source of genomic instability in human lymphoid cancers. However, such molecular events have not been recurrently reported in clinical patient lymphoma/leukemia samples. Using a specifically designed NGS-capture pipeline, we here demonstrated the reintegration of T-cell receptor excision circles (TRECs) in 20/1533 (1.3%) patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL). Remarkably, the reintegration of TREC recurrently targeted the tumor suppressor gene, ZFP36L2, in 17/20 samples. Thus, our data identified a new and hardly detectable mechanism of gene deregulation in lymphoid cancers providing new insights in human oncogenesis.

Abstract
Broad domains of H3K4 methylation have been associated with consistent expression of tissue-specific, cell identity, and tumor suppressor genes. Here, we identified broad domain-associated genes in healthy human thymic T cell populations and a collection of T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) primary samples and cell lines. We found that broad domains are highly dynamic throughout T cell differentiation, and their varying breadth allows the distinction between normal and neoplastic cells. Although broad domains preferentially associate with cell identity and tumor suppressor genes in normal thymocytes, they flag key oncogenes in T-ALL samples. Moreover, the expression of broad domain-associated genes, both coding and noncoding, is frequently deregulated in T-ALL. Using two distinct leukemic models, we showed that the ectopic expression of T-ALL oncogenic transcription factor preferentially impacts the expression of broad domain-associated genes in preleukemic cells. Finally, an H3K4me3 demethylase inhibitor differentially targets T-ALL cell lines depending on the extent and number of broad domains. Our results show that the regulation of broad H3K4me3 domains is associated with leukemogenesis, and suggest that the presence of these structures might be used for epigenetic prioritization of cancer-relevant genes, including long noncoding RNAs.

Abstract
Background Anaplastic large cell lymphoma positive for ALK (ALK+ ALCL) is a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This lymphoma is caused by chromosomal translocations involving the anaplastic lymphoma kinase gene (ALK). In this study, we aimed to identify mechanisms of transformation and therapeutic targets by generating a model of ALK+ ALCL lymphomagenesis ab initio with the specific NPM-ALK fusion. Methods We performed CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing of the NPM-ALK chromosomal translocation in primary human activated T lymphocytes. Results Both CD4+ and CD8+ NPM-ALK-edited T lymphocytes showed rapid and reproducible competitive advantage in culture and led to in vivo disease development with nodal and extra-nodal features. Murine tumors displayed the phenotypic diversity observed in ALK+ ALCL patients, including CD4+ and CD8+ lymphomas. Assessment of transcriptome data from models and patients revealed global activation of the WNT signaling pathway, including both canonical and non-canonical pathways, during ALK+ ALCL lymphomagenesis. Specifically, we found that the WNT signaling cell surface receptor ROR2 represented a robust and genuine marker of all ALK+ ALCL patient tumor samples. Conclusions In this study, ab initio modeling of the ALK+ ALCL chromosomal translocation in mature T lymphocytes enabled the identification of new therapeutic targets. As ROR2 targeting approaches for other cancers are under development (including lung and ovarian tumors), our findings suggest that ALK+ ALCL cases with resistance to current therapies may also benefit from ROR2 targeting strategies.

Abstract
Chromosomal translocations are important drivers of haematological malignancies whereby proto-oncogenes are activated by juxtaposition with enhancers, often called enhancer hijacking. We analyzed the epigenomic consequences of rearrangements between the super-enhancers of the immunoglobulin heavy locus (IGH) and proto-oncogene CCND1 that are common in B cell malignancies. By integrating BLUEPRINT epigenomic data with DNA breakpoint detection, we characterized the normal chromatin landscape of the human IGH locus and its dynamics after pathological genomic rearrangement. We detected an H3K4me3 broad domain (BD) within the IGH locus of healthy B cells that was absent in samples with IGH-CCND1 translocations. The appearance of H3K4me3-BD over CCND1 in the latter was associated with overexpression and extensive chromatin accessibility of its gene body. We observed similar cancer-specific H3K4me3-BDs associated with hijacking of super-enhancers of other common oncogenes in B cell (MAF, MYC, and FGFR3/NSD2) and T cell malignancies (LMO2, TLX3, and TAL1). Our analysis suggests that H3K4me3-BDs can be created by super-enhancers and supports the new concept of epigenomic translocation, in which the relocation of H3K4me3-BDs from cell identity genes to oncogenes accompanies the translocation of super-enhancers.

Abstract
T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a group of aggressive hematological cancers with dismal outcomes that are in need of new therapeutic options. Polycomb repressor complex 2 (PRC2) loss-of-function alterations were reported in pediatric T-ALL, yet their clinical relevance and functional consequences remain elusive. Here, we extensively analyzed PRC2 alterations in a large series of 218 adult T-ALL patients. We found that PRC2 genetic lesions are frequent events in T-ALL and are not restricted to early thymic precursor ALL. PRC2 loss of function associates with activating mutations of the IL7R/JAK/STAT pathway. PRC2-altered T-ALL patients respond poorly to prednisone and have low bone marrow blast clearance and persistent minimal residual disease. Furthermore, we identified that PRC2 loss of function profoundly reshapes the genetic and epigenetic landscapes, leading to the reactivation of stem cell programs that cooperate with bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) proteins to sustain T-ALL. This study identifies BET proteins as key mediators of the PRC2 loss of function-induced remodeling. Our data have uncovered a targetable vulnerability to BET inhibition that can be exploited to treat PRC2-altered T-ALL patients.

Abstract
Adult "T cell" acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive hematological malignancy that is associated with poor outcomes, requiring additional therapeutic options. The DNA methylation landscapes of adult T-ALL remain undercharacterized. Here, we systematically analyzed the DNA methylation profiles of normal thymic-sorted T cell subpopulations and 143 primary adult T-ALLs as part of the French GRAALL 2003-2005 trial. Our results indicated that T-ALL is epigenetically heterogeneous consisting of five subtypes (C1-C5), which were either associated with co-occurring DNA methyltransferase 3 alpha (DNMT3A)/isocitrate dehydrogenase [NADP(+)] 2 (IDH2) mutations (C1), TAL bHLH transcription factor 1, erythroid differentiation factor (TAL1) deregulation (C2), T cell leukemia homeobox 3 (TLX3) (C3), TLX1/in cis-homeobox A9 (HOXA9) (C4), or in trans-HOXA9 overexpression (C5). Integrative analysis of DNA methylation and gene expression identified potential cluster-specific oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. In addition to an aggressive hypomethylated subgroup (C1), our data identified an unexpected subset of hypermethylated T-ALL (C5) associated with poor outcome and primary therapeutic response. Using mouse xenografts, we demonstrated that hypermethylated T-ALL samples exhibited therapeutic responses to the DNA hypomethylating agent 5-azacytidine, which significantly (survival probability; P = 0.001 for C3, 0.01 for C4, and 0.0253 for C5) delayed tumor progression. These findings suggest that epigenetic-based therapies may provide an alternative treatment option in hypermethylated T-ALL.

Abstract
Several obstacles to the production, expansion and genetic modification of immunotherapeutic T cells in vitro have restricted the widespread use of T-cell immunotherapy. In the context of HSCT, delayed naïve T-cell recovery contributes to poor outcomes. A novel approach to overcome the major limitations of both T-cell immunotherapy and HSCT would be to transplant human T-lymphoid progenitors (HTLPs), allowing reconstitution of a fully functional naïve T-cell pool in the patient thymus. However, it is challenging to produce HTLPs in the high numbers required to meet clinical needs. Here, we found that adding tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) to a DL-4-based culture system led to the generation of a large number of nonmodified or genetically modified HTLPs possessing highly efficient in vitro and in vivo T-cell potential from either CB HSPCs or mPB HSPCs through accelerated T-cell differentiation and enhanced HTLP cell cycling and survival. This study provides a clinically suitable cell culture platform to generate high numbers of clinically potent nonmodified or genetically modified HTLPs for accelerating immune recovery after HSCT and for T-cell-based immunotherapy (including CAR T-cell therapy).

Abstract
Cell differentiation is accompanied by epigenetic changes leading to precise lineage definition and cell identity. Here we present a comprehensive resource of epigenomic data of human T cell precursors along with an integrative analysis of other hematopoietic populations. Although T cell commitment is accompanied by large scale epigenetic changes, we observed that the majority of distal regulatory elements are constitutively unmethylated throughout T cell differentiation, irrespective of their activation status. Among these, the TCRA gene enhancer (Eα) is in an open and unmethylated chromatin structure well before activation. Integrative analyses revealed that the HOXA5-9 transcription factors repress the Eα enhancer at early stages of T cell differentiation, while their decommission is required for TCRA locus activation and enforced αβ T lineage differentiation. Remarkably, the HOXA-mediated repression of Eα is paralleled by the ectopic expression of homeodomain-related oncogenes in T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. These results highlight an analogous enhancer repression mechanism at play in normal and cancer conditions, but imposing distinct developmental constraints.

Abstract
Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a mature T cell neoplasm that often expresses the CD4+ T cell surface marker. It usually harbors the t(2;5) (p23;q35) translocation, leading to the ectopic expression of NPM-ALK, a chimeric tyrosine kinase. We demonstrated that in vitro transduction of normal human CD4+ T lymphocytes with NPM-ALK results in their immortalization and malignant transformation. The tumor cells displayed morphological and immunophenotypical characteristics of primary patient-derived anaplastic large cell lymphomas. Cell growth, proliferation, and survival were strictly dependent on NPM-ALK activity and include activation of the key factors STAT3 and DNMT1 and expression of CD30 (the hallmark of anaplastic large-cell lymphoma). Implantation of NPM-ALK-transformed CD4+ T lymphocytes into immunodeficient mice resulted in the formation of tumors indistinguishable from patients' anaplastic large cell lymphomas. Integration of "Omic" data revealed that NPM-ALK-transformed CD4+ T lymphocytes and primary NPM-ALK+ ALCL biopsies share similarities with early T cell precursors. Of note, these NPM-ALK+ lymphoma cells overexpress stem cell regulators (OCT4, SOX2, and NANOG) and HIF2A, which is known to affect hematopoietic precursor differentiation and NPM-ALK+ cell growth. Altogether, for the first time our findings suggest that NPM-ALK could restore progenitor-like features in mature CD30+ peripheral CD4+ T cells, in keeping with a thymic progenitor-like pattern.

Abstract
The greenhouse gases (GHGs) derived from agriculture include carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane (CH4). Of these GHGs, CH4, in particular, constitutes a major component of the GHG emitted by the agricultural sector. Along with environmental concerns, CH4 emission also leads to losses in gross energy intake with economic implications. While ruminants are considered the main source of CH4 from agriculture, nonruminant animals also contribute substantially, and the CH4 emission intensity of nonruminants remains comparable to that of ruminants. Means of mitigating CH4 emissions from enteric fermentation have therefore been sought. Methane is produced by methanogens-archaeal microorganisms that inhabit the digestive tracts of animals and participate in fermentation processes. As the diversity of methanogen communities is thought to be responsible for the differences in CH4 production among nonruminant animals, it is necessary to investigate the archaeal composition of specific animal species. Methanogens play an important role in energy metabolism and adipose tissue deposition in animals. Higher abundances of methanogens, along with their higher diversity, have been reported to contribute to lean phenotype in pigs. In particular, a greater abundance of Methanosphaera spp. and early dominance of Methanobrevibacter smithii have been reported to correlate with lower body fat formation in pigs. Besides the contribution of methanogens to the metabolic phenotype of their hosts, CH4 release reduces the productivity that could be achieved through other hydrogen (H2) disposal pathways. Enhanced participation of acetogenesis in H2 disposal, leading to acetate formation, could be a more favorable direction for animal production and the environment. Better knowledge and understanding of the archaeal communities of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), including their metabolism and interactions with other microorganisms, would thus allow the development of new strategies for inhibiting methanogens and shifting toward acetogenesis. There are a variety of approaches to inhibiting methanogens and mitigating methanogenesis in ruminants, which can find an application for nonruminants, such as nutritional changes through supplementation with biologically active compounds and management changes. We summarize the available reports and provide a comprehensive review of methanogens living in the GIT of various nonruminants, such as swine, horses, donkeys, rabbits, and poultry. This review will help in a better understanding of the populations and diversity of methanogens and the implications of their presence in nonruminant animals.

Abstract
T-cell receptor gene beta (TCRβ) gene rearrangement represents a complex, tightly regulated molecular mechanism involving excision, deletion and recombination of DNA during T-cell development. RUNX1, a well-known transcription factor for T-cell differentiation, has recently been described to act in addition as a recombinase cofactor for TCRδ gene rearrangements. In this work we employed a RUNX1 knock-out mouse model and demonstrate by deep TCRβ sequencing, immunostaining and chromatin immunoprecipitation that RUNX1 binds to the initiation site of TCRβ rearrangement and its homozygous inactivation induces severe structural changes of the rearranged TCRβ gene, whereas heterozygous inactivation has almost no impact. To compare the mouse model results to the situation in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) we analyzed TCRβ gene rearrangements in T-ALL samples harboring heterozygous Runx1 mutations. Comparable to the Runx1+/- mouse model, heterozygous Runx1 mutations in T-ALL patients displayed no detectable impact on TCRβ rearrangements. Furthermore, we reanalyzed published sequence data from recurrent deletion borders of ALL patients carrying an ETV6-RUNX1 translocation. RUNX1 motifs were significantly overrepresented at the deletion ends arguing for a role of RUNX1 in the deletion mechanism. Collectively, our data imply a role of RUNX1 as recombinase cofactor for both physiological and aberrant deletions.

Abstract
T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL) is an aggressive tumor with leukemic presentation of mature T-lymphocytes. Here, we aimed at characterizing the initial events in the molecular pathogenesis of T-PLL and particularly, at determining the point in T-cell differentiation when the hallmark oncogenic events, that is, inv(14)(q11q32)/t(14;14)(q11;q32) and t(X;14)(q28;q11) occur. To this end, we mined whole genome and transcriptome sequencing data of 17 and 11 T-PLL cases, respectively. Mapping of the 14q32.1 locus breakpoints identified only TCL1A, which was moreover significantly overexpressed in T-PLL as compared to benign CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells, as the only common oncogenic target of aberrations. In cases with t(14;14), the breakpoints mapped telomeric and in cases with inv(14) centromeric or in the 3'-untranslated region of TCL1A. Regarding the T-cell receptor alpha (TRA) locus-TCL1A breakpoint junctions, all 17 breakpoints involved recombination signal sequences and 15 junctions contained nontemplated (N-) nucleotides. All T-PLL cases studied carried in-frame TRA rearrangements on the intact allele, which skewed significantly toward usage of distal/central TRAV/TRAJ gene segments as compared to the illegitimate TRA rearrangements. Our findings suggest that the oncogenic TRA-TCL1A/MTCP1 rearrangements in T-PLL occur during opening of the TRA locus, that is, during the progression from CD4+ immature single positive to early double positive thymocyte stage, just before physiologic TCL1A expression is silenced. The cell carrying such an oncogenic event continues maturation and rearranges the second TRA allele to achieve a functional T-cell receptor. Thereafter, it switches off RAG and DNTT expression in line with the mature T-cell phenotype at presentation of T-PLL.

Abstract
This study aimed to compare measurements of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in the breath of dairy cows kept in commercial conditions using the Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and nondispersive infrared spectroscopy (NDIR) methods. The measurement systems were installed in an automated milking system. Measurements were carried out for 5 d using both systems during milkings. The measurements were averaged per milking, giving 467 observations of CH4 and CO2 concentrations of 44 Holstein Friesian cows. The Pearson correlation between observations from the 2 systems was 0.86 for CH4, 0.84 for CO2, and 0.88 for their ratio. The repeatability of FTIR (0.53 for CH4, 0.57 for CO2, and 0.28 for their ratio) was somewhat higher than that of NDIR (0.57 for CH4, 0.47 for CO2, and 0.25 for their ratio). The coefficient of individual agreement was 0.98 for CH4, 0.89 for CO2, and 0.89 for their ratio; the concordance correlation coefficient was 0.48 for both gases and 0.24 for their ratio. We showed that FTIR and NDIR give similar results in commercial farm conditions. They can therefore be used interchangeably to generate a larger data set, which could then be further used for genetic evaluation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The number of cancer survivors is growing and expected to be 18.9 million by 2024. Addressing survivorship issues, such as sexual health, are a critical part of health promotion. Women diagnosed with breast or gynecologic cancer can experience distressing changes in their self and/or body image, which affects their sexual health. This study evaluates hypnosis compared to progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) to improve self/body image in order to improve sexuality.
Methods: Women with a history of breast or gynecologic cancer, who also report negative body image changes, were randomized in a 2:1 fashion to a 6-week intervention of hypnotic relaxation or PMR. Both intervention arms consisted of three 30-minute sessions delivered face-to-face by a trained therapist, one every two weeks, along with home practice using a CD. The primary outcome was impact of treatment on body image using the Impact of Treatment Scale (ITS). Secondary outcomes included mood (Positive/Negative Affect Scale-PANAS), sexual satisfaction (PROMIS satisfaction), and perceived change (Global Impression of Change Scale -GCIS). Outcomes were measured at baseline and 6 weeks except for the GCIS measured only at 6 weeks. A series of independent samples t-tests were used to compare changes in outcome measures between arms. The intention-to-treat principle was applied.
Results: The final randomized sample consisted of 87 women. There was no statistically significant difference (p=.15) in the change in ITS between groups at 6 weeks, with both groups significantly improving (within group effect size Cohen's d .49 - .75). There were non-significant differences between groups on secondary outcomes. Change from baseline for positive affect (PANAS) was 1.7 in the hypnosis group and 3.8 in the PMR group while negative affect change was very similar being about 2.8 in both groups. Change from baseline for the PROMIS general sexual satisfaction scale was 1.5 in the hypnosis group and 1.3 in the PMR group. On the GCIS at 6 weeks, 42% of the hypnosis group reported moderate to very much improvement on self/body image (GCIS) while only 32% of the PMR group reported this level of improvement; and 36% of the hypnosis group versus 11% of the PMR group reported moderate to very much improvement in their sexuality.
Implications: The stress relieving strategies applied in this study may contribute substantially to decreasing the distress of the cancer experience related to altered self/body image and sexuality. The variable improvement across domains suggests that hypnosis and PMR may work in different ways, mechanistically. Further mechanistic studies of interventions to optimally promote survivorship health are warranted.

Abstract
Purpose Early thymic precursor (ETP) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is an immunophenotypically defined subgroup of T-cell ALL (T-ALL) associated with high rates of intrinsic treatment resistance. Studies in children have shown that the negative prognostic impact of chemotherapy resistance is abrogated by the implementation of early response-based intensification strategies. Comparable data in adults are lacking. Patients and Methods We performed comprehensive clinicobiologic, genetic, and survival analyses of a large cohort of 213 adult patients with T-ALL, including 47 patients with ETP-ALL, treated in the GRAALL (Group for Research on Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) -2003 and -2005 studies. Results Targeted next-generation sequencing revealed that the genotype of immunophenotypically defined adult T-ALL is similar to the pediatric equivalent, with high rates of mutations in factors involved in cytokine receptor and RAS signaling (62.2%), hematopoietic development (29.7%), and chemical modification of histones (48.6%). In contrast to pediatric cases, mutations in DNA methylation factor genes were also common (32.4%). We found that despite expected high levels of early bone marrow chemotherapy resistance (87%), the overall prognosis for adults with ETP-ALL treated using the GRAALL protocols was not inferior to that of the non-ETP-ALL group (5-year overall survival: ETP, 59.6%; 95% CI, 44.2% to 72.0% v non-ETP, 66.5%; 95% CI, 58.7% to 73.2%; P = 0.33) and that allogeneic stem-cell transplantation had a beneficial effect in a large proportion of patients with ETP-ALL. Conclusion Our results suggest that the use of response-based risk stratification and therapy intensification abrogates the poor prognosis of adult ETP-ALL.

Abstract
T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) results from leukemic transformation of T-cell precursors arrested at specific differentiation stages, including an 'early-cortical' thymic maturation arrest characterized by expression of cytoplasmic TCRβ but no surface T-cell receptor (TCR) and frequent ectopic expression of the TLX1/3 NK-like homeotic proteins (NKL). We designed a TCRα VJC PCR to identify clonal TCRα rearrangements in 32% of 127 T-ALLs, including 0/52 immature/TCRγδ lineage cases and 41/75 (55%) TCRαβ lineage cases. Amongst the latter, TCRα rearrangements were not identified in 30/54 (56%) of IMβ/pre-αβ early-cortical T-ALLs, of which the majority (21/30) expressed TLX1/3. We reasoned that the remaining T-ALLs might express other NKL proteins, so compared transcript levels of 46 NKL in T-ALL and normal thymic subpopulations. Ectopic overexpression of 10 NKL genes, of which six are unreported in T-ALL (NKX2-3, BARHL1, BARX2, EMX2, LBX2 and MSX2), was detectable in 17/104 (16%) T-ALLs. Virtually all NKL overexpressing T-ALLs were TCRα unrearranged and ectopic NKL transcript expression strongly repressed Eα activity, suggesting that ectopic NKL expression is the major determinant in early-cortical thymic T-ALL maturation arrest. This immunogenetic T-ALL subtype, defined by TCRβ VDJ but no TCRα VJ rearrangement, is associated with a favorable outcome in GRAALL-treated adult T-ALLs.

Abstract
The oocyte quality is to a large extent influenced by the sexual maturity of the donor female. Although this phenomenon has already been broadly described in domestic animals, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Published data focus on oocyte ultrastructure, fertilization abnormalities, and blastocyst developmental rate. The goal of the present experiment was to characterize the follicular environment (oocyte, cumulus [CC] and granulosa (GC) cells as well as follicular fluid [FF]) in ovarian follicles of prepubertal heifers and cows. Each experimental replicate included the following set of traits within individual follicles: lipid droplets (LDs) number in oocytes, expression of seven genes involved in energy metabolism (fatty acids [FAs] metabolism-ELOVL2, ELOVL5, SCD, FADS2, glucose transport-GLUT1, GLUT3, GLUT8) in CC and GC as well as FA composition and glucose concentration in FF. According to our results, cow oocytes were larger in diameter and contained more LD than those from prepubertal heifers, both before and after IVM. The LD number was also higher in cow oocytes after IVM, when compared to immature oocytes. The FF from cow follicles had elevated glucose content similarly to the majority of the analyzed FA. Transcript analysis revealed differences for five out of seven analyzed genes (ELOVL, FADS2, SCD, GLUT3, GLUT8) in CC and GC cells. However after considering the female category, the only difference was noticed for the mRNA of SCD gene, which was more abundant in cow GC. This finding may indicate distinct roles of CC and GC in follicular energy metabolism. In conclusions, we suggest that distinct properties of follicular environment in prepubertal heifers and cows may be responsible for differences in the quality of oocytes from the two categories of donors. We hypothesize that suboptimal environment in heifer follicles (glucose and FA lower content in FF) determines reduced quality of their oocytes (lower diameter and LD number) and limited maturation potential. Besides, energy demands of heifer oocytes may be restricted due to a low LD number, exerting a negative effect on the development of the future embryo. The advantages of cow gametes (e.g., higher LD number and diameter) attributed to oocytes of superior quality may support the statement that cows donate oocytes of better quality than heifers.

Abstract
T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) represents expansion of cells arrested at specific stages of thymic development with the underlying genetic abnormality often determining the stage of maturation arrest. Although their outcome has been improved with current therapy, survival rates remain only around 50% at 5 years and patients may therefore benefit from specific targeted therapy. Interleukin receptor associated kinase 1 (IRAK1) is a ubiquitously expressed serine/threonine kinase that mediates signaling downstream to Toll-like (TLR) and Interleukin-1 Receptors (IL1R). Our data demonstrated that IRAK1 is overexpressed in all subtypes of T-ALL, compared to normal human thymic subpopulations, and is functional in T-ALL cell lines. Genetic knock-down of IRAK1 led to apoptosis, cell cycle disruption, diminished proliferation and reversal of corticosteroid resistance in T-ALL cell lines. However, pharmacological inhibition of IRAK1 using a small molecule inhibitor (IRAK1/4-Inh) only partially reproduced the results of the genetic knock-down. Altogether, our data suggest that IRAK1 is a candidate therapeutic target in T-ALL and highlight the requirement of next generation IRAK1 inhibitors.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Gene expression studies have consistently identified a HOXA-overexpressing cluster of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemias, but it is unclear whether these constitute a homogeneous clinical entity, and the biological consequences of HOXA overexpression have not been systematically examined. We characterized the biology and outcome of 55 HOXA-positive cases among 209 patients with adult T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia uniformly treated during the Group for Research on Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (GRAALL)-2003 and -2005 studies. HOXA-positive patients had markedly higher rates of an early thymic precursor-like immunophenotype (40.8% versus 14.5%, P=0.0004), chemoresistance (59.3% versus 40.8%, P=0.026) and positivity for minimal residual disease (48.5% versus 23.5%, P=0.01) than the HOXA-negative group. These differences were due to particularly high frequencies of chemoresistant early thymic precursor-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia in HOXA-positive cases harboring fusion oncoproteins that transactivate HOXA Strikingly, the presence of an early thymic precursor-like immunophenotype was associated with marked outcome differences within the HOXA-positive group (5-year overall survival 31.2% in HOXA-positive early thymic precursor versus 66.7% in HOXA-positive non-early thymic precursor, P=0.03), but not in HOXA-negative cases (5-year overall survival 74.2% in HOXA-negative early thymic precursor versus 57.2% in HOXA-negative non-early thymic precursor, P=0.44). Multivariate analysis further revealed that HOXA positivity independently affected event-free survival (P=0.053) and relapse risk (P=0.039) of chemoresistant T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. These results show that the underlying mechanism of HOXA deregulation dictates the clinico-biological phenotype, and that the negative prognosis of early thymic precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia is exclusive to HOXA-positive patients, suggesting that early treatment intensification is currently suboptimal for therapeutic rescue of HOXA-positive chemoresistant adult early thymic precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia. TRIAL REGISTRATION The GRAALL-2003 and -2005 studies were registered at http://www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT00222027 and #NCT00327678, respectively.

Abstract
Two consecutive rumen batch cultures were used to study the effect of nanoemulsified oils as a new type of supplement, on the in vitro fatty acid proportion and vaccenic acid formation. Three levels (3, 5, and 7%) of 2 different oil blends [soybean:fish oil (SF) or rapeseed-fish oil (RF)] were used. Both oil blends were used either in the raw form (SF or RF, respectively) or in the nanoemulsified form (NSF or NRF, respectively). The diets were the control (0%), which consisted of a dry total mixed ration without any supplements, the control plus 3, 5, or 7% of the SF or RF oil blend in appropriate form (raw or nanoemulsified). For each treatment, 6 incubation vessels were used. Each batch culture was incubated for 24h and conducted twice in 2 consecutive days. All supplements were calculated as a percentage of the substrate dry matter (400mg). Nanoemulsified supplements were recalculated to make sure the oil amount was equal to the raw oil supplementation levels. The results from both experiments indicated that the proportions of vaccenic acid and cis-9,trans-11 C18:2 increased when a raw oil blend was supplemented; on the other hand, no influence of nanoemulsified form of oil blend was observed on the proportion cis-9,trans-11 C18:2. Generally, supplementation with the nanoemulsified oil blends had less effect on biohydrogenation intermediates than the raw form of oil blends. However, the nanoemulsified form had a greater effect on the increase of n-3 and n-6 fatty acids. Nanoemulsified oil blends had a positive effect on decreasing the transformation rate of polyunsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids in the biohydrogenation environment. Supplements of nanoemulsified oil blends tended to be more effective than supplements of raw oils in preserving a greater proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the fermentation culture.

Abstract
Physiological changes associated with evolutionary and ecological processes such as diversification, range expansion or speciation are still incompletely understood, especially for non-model species. Here we study differences in protein expression in response to temperature in a western Mediterranean diving beetle species complex, using two-dimensional differential gel electrophoresis with one Moroccan and one Iberian population each of Agabus ramblae and Agabus brunneus. We identified proteins with significant expression differences after thermal treatments comparing them with a reference EST library generated from one of the species of the complex (A. ramblae). The colonisation during the Middle Pleistocene of the Iberian peninsula by A. ramblae, where maximum temperatures and seasonality are lower than in the ancestral north African range, was associated with changes in the response to 27 °C in proteins related to energy metabolism. The subsequent speciation of A. brunneus from within populations of Iberian A. ramblae was associated with changes in the expression of several stress-related proteins (mostly chaperons) when exposed to 4 °C. These changes are in agreement with the known tolerance to lower temperatures of A. brunneus, which occupies a larger geographical area with a wider range of climatic conditions. In both cases, protein expression changes paralleled the evolution of thermal tolerance and the climatic conditions experienced by the species. However, although the colonisation of the Iberian peninsula did not result in morphological change, the speciation process of A. brunneus within Iberia involved genetic isolation and substantial differences in male genitalia and body size and shape.

Abstract
Within the human TCR-α/δ locus, ordered rearrangements requires RUNX1, which binds to the Dδ2-23RSS and interacts with RAG1 to enhance RAG1 deposition at this site. Absence of this RUNX1 binding site in the homologous murine Dδ1-23RSS offers an explanation for the lack of ordered TCR-δ gene assembly in mice. V(D)J recombination of TCR loci is regulated by chromatin accessibility to RAG1/2 proteins, rendering RAG1/2 targeting a potentially important regulator of lymphoid differentiation. We show that within the human TCR-α/δ locus, Dδ2-Dδ3 rearrangements occur at a very immature thymic, CD34+/CD1a−/CD7+dim stage, before Dδ2(Dδ3)-Jδ1 rearrangements. These strictly ordered rearrangements are regulated by mechanisms acting beyond chromatin accessibility. Importantly, direct Dδ2-Jδ1 rearrangements are prohibited by a B12/23 restriction and ordered human TCR-δ gene assembly requires RUNX1 protein, which binds to the Dδ2-23RSS, interacts with RAG1, and enhances RAG1 deposition at this site. This RUNX1-mediated V(D)J recombinase targeting imposes the use of two Dδ gene segments in human TCR-δ chains. Absence of this RUNX1 binding site in the homologous mouse Dδ1-23RSS provides a molecular explanation for the lack of ordered TCR-δ gene assembly in mice and may underlie differences in early lymphoid differentiation between these species.

Abstract
Dynamics of follicular growth and atresia is closely connected with apoptosis. Cathepsins (CTS) are involved in diverse biological functions, whereas one member of this family, cathepsin B, plays a major regulatory role in the process of apoptosis. Oocyte quality is a complex trait shaped by the follicular components (e.g. cumulus cells, CC; follicular fluid, FF). A negative relationship between relative transcript abundance (RA) of CTSB, CTSS, and CTSZ genes in CC with the quality of corresponding oocytes was reported in cattle (Bettegowda et al. 2008). Fatty acid (FA) composition of the FF and mtDNA copy number in the oocyte are other markers of oocyte quality. Therefore, in this study, we analysed relations between selected traits of the 3 follicular components (FF, CC, oocyte) within the individual follicle with the focus on oocyte quality. The experiment was based on cumulus–oocyte-complexes (COC) and FF obtained from individual follicles of slaughterhouse ovaries. Each follicle was measured and assigned into 1 of 3 classes (small <6 mm; medium 6 to 8 mm; large >8 mm). The COC morphology (grades 1 to 4) was evaluated according to Stojkovic et al. (2001). The following analyses were performed: CC, mRNA abundance of CTSB, CTSS, CTSZ, and CTSK genes (real-time PCR, 100 replicates, ACTB as a reference gene); the oocyte, mtDNA copy number (real-time PCR, 93 replicates, COX1 gene); and FF and FA composition (gas chromatography). The following procedures were employed: total RNA isolation, mirVana Paris Kit (Ambion); total DNA isolation, High Pure PCR Template Preparation Kit (Roche, Indianapolis, IN, USA); cDNA synthesis, Transcriptor High Fidelity cDNA Synthesis Kit (Roche); and the standard curve method, to analyse the qPCR data. For statistical analysis, the Kruskal-Wallis test as well as Spearman rank correlation were applied. The highest RA of CTSB gene was noted in CC from the grade 3 COC (P < 0.05), whereas that of CTSK and CTSZ genes in CC from the grade 4 COC (P < 0.01). Because grade 3 and 4 COC are not suitable for IVM, we assumed that high RA of CTS gene in CC may indicate reduced quality of the corresponding oocyte. Surprisingly, the highest RA for CTSB gene was observed in CC from the medium follicles (P < 0.05). Significant (P < 0.05) correlations were estimated between the following: RA of CTSB gene in CC and mtDNA copy number in the oocyte (r = 0.27), RA of CTSB gene in CC and C18.3 n-3 concentration in FF (r = 0.32), RA of CTSZ gene in CC and C18.3 n-3 concentration in FF (r = 0.37), as well as RA of CTSZ gene in CC and n-3 concentration in FF (r = 0.34). Although an increase in RA of the CTS genes in CC was accompanied by the inferior oocyte morphology, it was also correlated with higher mtDNA copy number in the oocyte and FA content in FF. The last 2 features have been previously attributed to oocytes of better quality, what contrasts with the high RA of the CTS genes. Thus, higher RA of CTS genes within CC may not mark the bovine oocyte of reduced quality.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pediatric T-cell lymphoblastic lymphomas (T-LBL) are commonly treated on T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) -derived protocols. Therapeutic stratification based on response to the prephase treatment and on minimal residual disease assessment is well established in T-ALL but is not easy to extrapolate to T-LBL. The identification of molecular prognostic markers at diagnosis in T-LBL could provide an alternative for early therapeutic stratification. Our study determines the frequency and prognostic value of NOTCH1/FBXW7 mutations (N/F(mut)), FLASH deletion at chromosome 6q, and TCR rearrangements in a prospective cohort of pediatric T-LBL. PATIENTS AND METHODS Pathologic samples were obtained at diagnosis for 54 patients treated according to the EuroLB02 protocol in France. N/F(mut) were identified by direct sequencing and allelic dosage was used to detect FLASH and TCRγ deletions, which were interpreted in conjunction with TCRγ, TCRβ, and TCRδ rearrangements. RESULTS N/F(mut) were found in 55% of T-LBL patients, in whom they were associated with improved event-free survival (P < .01) and overall survival (P < .01). FLASH monoallelic deletions were observed in 18% of patients; they were predominantly N/F wild-type (six of nine) and tended to be of inferior prognosis (P = .09). Absence of biallelic TCRγ deletion (ABD) was seen in 7%, all of which were N/F(mut) and identified a poor prognosis group (P = .02). On multivariate analysis of N/F(mut), TCRγ ABD, and FLASH deletion, only N/F(mut) was an independent factor for good prognosis. CONCLUSION Mutational status of NOTCH1/FBXW7 represents a promising marker for early therapeutic stratification in pediatric T-LBL.

Abstract
The so-called lipocalins are a family of extracellular proteins that are known to typically fulfill tasks as transport proteins for small hydrophobic molecules. However, in the last decade, a large diversity has been described concerning their functions, for example as enzymes, immunomodulators, or proteins involved in coloration and pheromone action. Aphrodisin belongs to those lipocalins, which are of significant importance for the pheromonal stimulation of copulatory behavior in male hamsters. We recently succeeded in characterizing the corresponding cDNA and demonstrated the expression of the aphrodisin gene in the vagina, uterus, and Bartholin's glands of female hamsters. Here we report the structure of the aphrodisin gene and the functionality of its promoter region. We further compare the aphrodisin gene to the related gene for mouse odorant-binding protein 1a, indicating similar functions of their products. As a novelty, we show that the aphrodisin gene, in addition to the above-mentioned tissues, is also expressed in female hamster parotid glands. In contradiction to the results expected, we finally demonstrate that aphrodisin already occurs in vaginal discharge before the female animals reach fertility. These findings may lead to the identification of as yet unknown aphrodisin functions.

Abstract
Aphrodisin is a glycoprotein originally isolated from hamster vaginal discharge which was demonstrated to be involved in pheromonal effects on male hamsters. In the present study, we investigated the localization of aphrodisin-synthesizing and -storing cells in the entire genital tract of the female golden hamster using immunohistochemical and molecular biological methods. By use of immunohistochemical methods, significant aphrodisin immunoreactivity was detected within the cervical glandular tissue. Western blot analysis revealed high concentration of aphrodisin in vaginal discharge and in tissue extracts from the vagina and the cervix uteri. According to intracellular localization of aphrodisin, this protein is confined to cytoplasm of the immunoreactive cells. Immunoreactivity was also detected extracellularly on the surface of the anterior vaginal pluristratified epithelium. Semiquantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis showed an extremely high level of aphrodisin gene expression in the vagina and in the lower part of the uterus comprising the cervix. However, aphrodisin gene expression was also demonstrated in the middle part of the uterus and at a low level even in the ovaries. No aphrodisin gene expression was detectable in the upper part of the uterus and the uterine horns. In situ hybridization confirmed that the maximum expression of the aphrodisin gene is encountered in glandular cells of the cervix uteri. These results indicate that within the female hamster genital tract aphrodisin is predominantly synthesized throughout the vagina and cervical uterus. The protein is then secreted into the vaginal lumen. It is under discussion whether the accumulation of aphrodisin in the vaginal discharge facilitates the transfer of pheromone of low molecular weight to the male hamster's vomeronasal organ during investigatory behavior.

Abstract
We have cloned a 420 bp cDNA from a human fetal brain cDNA library in lambda encoding the human homologue of a DSIP-immunoreactive leucine zipper protein (DIP) isolated from porcine brain. The derived human protein (hDIP) shares a significant sequence identity with parts of the murine TSC-22 and Drosophila shs, both proteins which are discussed as functioning as transcriptional regulators. A similar role of hDIP is partially confirmed by the results of an RT-PCR analysis, demonstrating the widespread distribution of the protein among different human tissues.

Abstract
The dopamine D4 receptor gene (DRD4 gene) is one of the important candidate genes for schizophrenia and other psychoses. In humans, several alleles with variable repeat numbers of a 48-base-pair element within the third exon are known. The corresponding receptor proteins differ in their pharmacological properties. It might be possible that specific alleles or genotypes predispose for schizophrenia and other psychoses. The aim of the present study was to investigate and compare the frequency of the DRD4 alleles and genotypes in healthy controls and patients suffering from schizophrenia, schizoaffective or affective disorders. The DRD4 subtypes of 92 controls, 91 patients with schizophrenia, 90 patients with affective and 20 with schizoaffective disorders were identified by a combination of Southern blot technique and PCR. Statistical analysis revealed several significant differences between controls and patients, e.g. an increased frequency of the D4.7 allele among patients with schizophrenia, schizoaffective or unipolar affective disorder. The results indicate a possible role of the DRD4 gene polymorphism in the pathophysiology of psychotic diseases. When a part of the DRD4 gene sequence containing the codons for the most important amino acids for dopamine binding in 9 controls, 9 patients with schizophrenia and 10 with affective disorders were compared, no differences could be found.

Abstract
We have amplified, cloned, and sequenced 583 bp GCAP-II/uroguanylin-specific cDNA from human colon cDNA first strand. The cDNA codes for a putative 112 amino-acid precursor protein including the sequence of uroguanylin and GCAP-II. Northern blot hybridization revealed a high level expression of the GCAP-II gene in human colon, but not in the kidney. This expression of GCAP-II indicates a pivotal role in cGMP-mediated functions of the colon.

Abstract
The cDNA sequence for aphrodisin, a lipocalin from hamster vaginal discharge which is involved in pheromonal activity, has been determined. Corresponding genomic clones were isolated and the promoter region was identified. Primer extension analysis revealed an adenosine residue as the main transcription initiation site, located 50 bp upstream of the translation start codon ATG, which is surrounded by a typical Kozak sequence. However, data from polymerase chain reaction analysis suggest the existence of at least one alternative transcription initiation site. The aphrodisin cDNA is 732 bp long and codes for the mature 151-aa aphrodisin and an additional N-terminal 16-aa secretory signal peptide. The 3' nontranslated region is 228 bp long. Among the known sequences, the aphrodisin cDNA shares the highest homology with the rat odorant-binding protein cDNA (45%), which verifies the protein data. Vaginal tissue and Bartholin's glands are the main aphrodisin gene-expressing tissues of the female hamster genital tract, as demonstrated by Northern blot analysis. Under less stringent hybridization conditions, RNA isolated from rat Bartholin's glands also showed a signal, indicating the occurrence of aphrodisin-related mRNA in this species.
