We reviewed 31 cases of TdT-positive LBCL and B-ALL/LBL, and their final diagnosis included 19 diffuse large/high-grade BCLs with MYC and BCL2 rearrangements (five DLBCL-MYC/BCL2, 14 HGBCL-MYC/BCL2), three DLBCL not otherwise specified (NOS), three HGBCL-NOS, four B-ALL/LBL, and two unclassifiable cases. TdT was variably expressed in all these cases, without any clear demarcation among different groups. Loss or partial loss of CD20 expression was seen in 13/17 DLBCL/HGBCL-MYC/BCL2, 2/3 HGBCL-NOS, and 2/2 unclassified, albeit not in DLBCL-NOS. Expression of BCL6 and/or MUM1 was seen in 3/4 B-ALL/LBLs and 2/2 unclassified. Next-generation sequencing revealed characteristic mutations associated with follicular lymphoma and its high-grade transformation in each DLBCL/HGBCL-MYC/BCL2, and also frequent variants in genes targeted by somatic hypermutation (SHM) in almost all DLBCL/HGBCL-MYC/BCL2, DLBCL-NOS, and HGBCL-NOS but one case. In contrast, such mutations were absent in B-ALL/LBL. There were no pathognomonic mutations in the two unclassifiable cases, although one showed a moderate level of somatic mutations in its rearranged IGHV. Furthermore, in three cases of TdT-positive HGBCL-MYC/BCL2, studies of previous or concurrent follicular lymphoma demonstrated their divergent evolution from an IGH::BCL2-positive cell population following acquisition of MYC translocation.

The tumor suppressor gene BRCA1 has multiple functions that include secondary processes cooperating with its main function as a caretaker of genomic integrity. BRCA1 is often mutated in breast and ovarian cancer, but BRCA1 mutations are also associated with PCa, although they are less frequently observed. Most PCa patients do not, however, carry BRCA1 mutations, and interestingly, it has been shown that BRCA1 expression is enriched in castration-resistant PCa. In this study we elucidated the prostate tissue-specific role of the BRCA1 protein. Although the regulation of DNA damage response genes has been studied in PCa, comprehensive analyses of BRCA1 regulation in the context of androgen signaling are lacking. Our results indicate that BRCA1 is dynamically regulated by AR signaling and that activation of AR via its natural ligand, dihydrotestosterone, represses BRCA1 expression. Our analyses both in vitro and of patient samples and mouse xenografts showed that BRCA1 expression was induced and sustained after androgen deprivation. Moreover, we observed that oxidative stress-related pathways were regulated by BRCA1 in PCa cells and that androgen deprivation therapy-induced activation of BRCA1 supported the function of NRF2, the master regulator of antioxidant defense, and a known interactor of BRCA1. Impaired NRF2 activity, in the absence of BRCA1, decreased growth in a 3D environment. Our findings shed light on the functional role of BRCA1 protein in PCa and suggest that BRCA1 is regulated by the evolving AR signaling state during PCa progression. Thus, AR-mediated suppression of BRCA1 accumulates oncogenic alterations in the early phases of PCa tumor progression and safeguards from excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) when upregulated during androgen deprivation therapy. © 2025 The Author(s).

As the susceptibility of acquiring a SARS-CoV-2 infection in COPD remains unclear, this study explored the airway expression of SARS-CoV-2 entry-associated proteins in the lungs of COPD patients in comparison to non-COPD controls. Immunohistochemical staining of lung tissue was performed to investigate the expression profiles of SARS-CoV-2 entry-associated proteins in the bronchial epithelium of 27 COPD patients and 40 non-COPD controls. In addition, the associations between these expression profiles with lung function in COPD patients and smoking status in non-COPD controls were examined. COPD patients demonstrated smoking-independent lower expression of HSPA5, NRP1, BSG, TMPRSS2, and ITGB6 in airway epithelium as compared to non-COPD controls. No significant differences were observed for Furin, CTSL, ADAM17, and ITGA5. BSG percentage area expression was significantly negatively associated with lung function in COPD patients. Moreover, the study revealed smoking-associated differences for Furin, HSPA5, ADAM17, BSG, ITGA5, and ITGB6 within non-COPD controls, with lower airway epithelial expression (except for Furin) in ever-smokers than in never-smokers. To conclude, this study showed a lower expression of a specific set of SARS-CoV-2 entry-associated proteins in the bronchial epithelium of COPD patients compared with non-COPD controls, while other factors showed similar expression levels. The consequences of these findings on COVID-19 susceptibility remain uncertain. Although reduced expression of entry factors may suggest less cellular availability for viral entry, it could be speculated that the similar expression levels of other factors, together with impaired airway clearance in COPD, may still facilitate infection, thereby providing potential mechanistic insight into COVID-19 susceptibility in this patient population. © 2025 The Author(s).

Subsequently, T-cell migration and T-cell-mediated tumor cell killing assays revealed that the deletion of KMT2D in cancer cells promoted CD8<sup>+</sup> T-cell migration and cytotoxicity against tumor cells.

Multiple studies have characterised genomic alterations in CCA tumours, and specific chromosomal alterations can predict prognosis. However, it is not known whether chromosomal instability (CIN), ongoing genomic alteration characteristic of most cancer types, is present in CCA tumours. In this study we leveraged a panel of cancer cell lines derived from fluke-positive CCA patients, as well as a matched normal cholangiocyte line as a control, to characterise CIN in CCA. We observed elevated rates of chromosome segregation errors compared to normal cells, although overall CIN rates were lower than those for highly genomically unstable cancers, such as colorectal or ovarian cancer. Chromosome segregation errors in CCA cell lines were potentially driven by elevated DNA replication stress and centrosome duplication. Single-cell genome sequencing and karyotyping of the cell lines showed extensive structural and numerical chromosomal aberrations, as well as copy number alterations that were heterogeneous between individual cells, supporting the presence of ongoing CIN in these cell line models. Low-pass whole-genome sequencing of 33 CCA tumour samples with matched normal tissue from northeastern Thailand, a liver fluke-endemic region showed increased whole and subchromosomal level alterations, with a higher extent of genomic alterations in intrahepatic tumours compared to extrahepatic. Eight tumours carried focal amplifications and/or deletions involving known cancer genes, as well as potential chromosomal instability-associated genes, including CCNE1 amplifications and a rare amplification of BRCA1.

Recently, it has been utilised for fluorescence-guided surgery in a range of solid cancer types, including sarcoma, with the aim of reducing the positive margin rate. The increased uptake and retention of ICG within tumours, compared with normal tissue, gives surgeons a visual reference to aid resection when viewed through a near-infrared camera. However, the mechanisms of this process are poorly understood. We performed in vitro ICG cellular uptake studies across a panel of sarcoma cell lines exhibiting varying proliferation rates and phenotypes. The effects of ICG concentration, incubation time, inhibition of clathrin-mediated endocytosis, and cell line proliferation rate on the cellular uptake of ICG were investigated using fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. Subcellular localisation of intracellular ICG was assessed via colocalization with a lysosomal marker. The spatial distribution of ICG in patient tumour tissue following fluorescence-guided surgery was assessed by high-resolution tissue imaging and quantified using fluorescence lifetime imaging. In vitro results showed that the cell line proliferation rate correlated significantly with ICG uptake (Spearman's rank correlation coefficient = 1.00, p < 0.001), and maximum ICG uptake was observed after 24 h incubation. ICG cellular uptake was significantly reduced by inhibition of clathrin-mediated endocytosis (p = 0.0004), and intracellular ICG significantly colocalized with a lysosomal marker within 30 min (Pearson's r = 0.8). On histological analysis of tumour tissue from three different sarcoma subtypes, ICG was observed within sarcoma cells as well as accumulating in paucicellular areas of haemorrhage and necrosis within the tumour microenvironment. Through quantification of fluorescence lifetime imaging of ICG, we were able to differentiate sarcoma cells from haemorrhage and necrosis within tumour tissue. Combining in vitro data with analysis of patient tissue, we propose that the uptake and accumulation of ICG in sarcomas is driven by a synergistic mechanism involving the enhanced permeability and retention effect combined with active tumour cell endocytosis of the dye. © 2025 The Author(s).
