Notch activation is pervasive in SMZL and uncommon in DLBCL: implications for Notch signaling in B-cell tumors

Vignesh Shanmugam et al.

Summary: Notch receptors play a crucial role in B-cell lymphomas, with mutations in NOTCH1 or NOTCH2 affecting NICD stability. NOTCH2 activation is mainly seen in low-grade B-cell neoplasms, particularly in SMZL, while NOTCH1 mutations are common in DLBCL. These findings suggest different roles for NOTCH1 and NOTCH2 in B-cell lymphoma pathogenesis.

BAFF promotes heightened BCR responsiveness and manifestations of chronic GVHD after allogeneic stem cell transplantation

Wei Jia et al.

Summary: Patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) have elevated levels of B cell-activating factor (BAFF), which likely contributes to the development of the disease by altering the B-cell compartment and enhancing B-cell receptor (BCR) responsiveness. Targeting BAFF and BCR pathways therapeutically in patients with cGVHD may be a promising approach based on these findings.

Notch2-mediated plasticity between marginal zone and follicular B cells

Markus Lechner et al.

Summary: FoB and MZB cells are functionally distinct mature B cell populations in the spleen, which can be re-programmed through Notch2 activation. The study demonstrates plasticity between these cell types and suggests a potential pathway for MZB cell development in vivo, driven by a singular signaling event.

Lymphocyte egress signal sphingosine-1-phosphate promotes ERM-guided, bleb-based migration

Tanner F. Robertson et al.

Summary: This study elucidates the role of ERM proteins in regulating S1P-dependent T cell egress, showing that ERM-deficient T cells exhibit impaired migration induced by S1P but not by standard protein chemokines. The distinct modes of motility induced by S1P and chemokines are specialized for T cell migration across lymphatic barriers and through tissue stroma, respectively.

Resting innate-like B cells leverage sustained Notch2/ mTORC1 signaling to achieve rapid and mitosis- independent plasma cell differentiation

Brian T. Gaudette et al.

Summary: Little is known about how cells regulate and integrate distinct biosynthetic pathways governing differentiation and cell division. For B lineage cells it is widely accepted that activated cells must complete several rounds of mitosis before yielding antibody-secreting plasma cells. However, we report that marginal zone (MZ) B cells, innate-like naive B cells known to generate plasma cells rapidly in response to blood-borne bacteria, generate functional plasma cells despite cell-cycle arrest. Further, short-term Notch2 blockade in vivo reversed division-independent differentiation potential and decreased transcript abundance for numerous mTORC1-and Myc-regulated genes. Myc loss compromised plasma cell differentiation for MZ B cells, and reciprocally induced ectopic mTORC1 signaling in follicular B cells enabled division-independent differentiation and plasma cell-affiliated gene expression. We conclude that ongoing in situ Notch2/mTORC1 signaling in MZ B cells establishes a unique cellular state that enables rapid division-independent plasma cell differentiation.
