Monoclonal gammopathy with systemic amylodosis: an evaluation of diagnostic elements [PDF]

, 2011
Monoclonal gammopathies result from an overproduction of a single abnormal clone of plasma cell or B lymphocyte that produce an immunologically homogenous immunoglobulin (Ig) commonly referred to as paraprotein or monoclonal (M) protein.

B cell mechanobiology in health and disease: emerging techniques and insights into therapeutic responses

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
B cells sense external mechanical forces and convert them into biochemical signals through mechanotransduction. Understanding how malignant B cells respond to physical stimuli represents a groundbreaking area of research. This review examines the key mechano‐related molecules and pathways in B lymphocytes, highlights the most relevant techniques to ...

Nonstochastic pairing of immunoglobulin heavy and light chains expressed by chronic lymphocytic leukemia B cells is predicated on the heavy chain CDR3.

Blood, 2005
We analyzed the immunoglobulin (Ig) variable heavy (IGHV) and variable light chain genes used by leukemia cells of 258 unrelated patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) found to express unmutated Ig heavy chains (IgH) encoded by a 51p1 allele of

Targeting the MDM2‐MDM4 interaction interface reveals an otherwise therapeutically active wild‐type p53 in colorectal cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study investigates an alternative approach to reactivating the oncosuppressor p53 in cancer. A short peptide targeting the association of the two p53 inhibitors, MDM2 and MDM4, induces an otherwise therapeutically active p53 with unique features that promote cell death and potentially reduce toxicity towards proliferating nontumor cells.

Tonic signaling of the B‐cell antigen‐specific receptor is a common functional hallmark in chronic lymphocytic leukemia cell phosphoproteomes at early disease stages

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
B‐cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B‐CLL) and monoclonal B‐cell lymphocytosis (MBL) show altered proteomes and phosphoproteomes, analyzed using mass spectrometry, protein microarrays, and western blotting. Identifying 2970 proteins and 316 phosphoproteins, including 55 novel phosphopeptides, we reveal BCR and NF‐kβ/STAT3 signaling in disease ...

Energy metabolism is co-determined by genetic variants in chronic lymphocytic leukemia and influences drug sensitivity

Haematologica, 2019
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells have an altered energy metabolism compared to normal B cells. While there is a growing understanding of the molecular heterogeneity of the disease, the extent of metabolic heterogeneity and its relation to molecular ...

Sequencing B cell receptors from ferrets (Mustela putorius furo).

PLoS ONE, 2020
The domestic ferret (Mustela putorius furo) provides a critical animal model to study human respiratory diseases. However immunological insights are restricted due to a lack of ferret-specific reagents and limited genetic information about ferret B and T

Massive evolution of the immunoglobulin heavy chain locus in children with B precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Blood, 2012
The ability to distinguish clonal B-cell populations based on the sequence of their rearranged immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) locus is an important tool for diagnosing B-cell neoplasms and monitoring treatment response.
