abstract = {Peripheral T cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are a heterogeneous entity of neoplasms with poor prognosis, lack of effective therapies, and a largely unknown pathophysiology. Identifying the mechanism of lymphomagenesis and cell-of-origin from which PTCLs arise is crucial for the development of efficient treatment strategies. In addition to the well-described thymic lymphomas, we found that p53-deficient mice also developed mature PTCLs that did not originate from conventional T cells but from CD1d-restricted NKT cells. PTCLs showed phenotypic features of activated NKT cells, such as PD-1 up-regulation and loss of NK1.1 expression. Injections of heat-killed Streptococcus pneumonia, known to express glycolipid antigens activating NKT cells, increased the incidence of these PTCLs, whereas Escherichia coli injection did not. Gene expression profile analyses indicated a significant down-regulation of genes in the TCR signaling pathway in PTCL, a common feature of chronically activated T cells. Targeting TCR signaling pathway in lymphoma cells, either with cyclosporine A or anti-CD1d blocking antibody, prolonged mice survival. Importantly, we identified human CD1d-restricted lymphoma cells within Vδ1 TCR-expressing PTCL. These results define a new subtype of PTCL and pave the way for the development of blocking anti-CD1d antibody for therapeutic purposes in humans.},

abstract = {Natural killer (NK) cell maturation is a tightly controlled 

 process that endows NK cells with functional competence and the 

 capacity to recognize target cells. Here, we found that the 

 transcription factor (TF) Zeb2 was the most highly induced TF 

 during NK cell maturation. Zeb2 is known to control epithelial 

 to mesenchymal transition, but its role in immune cells is 

 mostly undefined. Targeted deletion of Zeb2 resulted in impaired 

 NK cell maturation, survival, and exit from the bone marrow. NK 

 cell function was preserved, but mice lacking Zeb2 in NK cells 

 were more susceptible to B16 melanoma lung metastases. 

 Reciprocally, ectopic expression of Zeb2 resulted in a higher 

 frequency of mature NK cells in all organs. Moreover, the 

 immature phenotype of Zeb2(-/-) NK cells closely resembled that 

 of Tbx21(-/-) NK cells. This was caused by both a dependence of 

 Zeb2 expression on T-bet and a probable cooperation of these 

 factors in gene regulation. Transgenic expression of Zeb2 in 

 Tbx21(-/-) NK cells partially restored a normal maturation, 

 establishing that timely induction of Zeb2 by T-bet is an 

 essential event during NK cell differentiation. Finally, this 

 novel transcriptional cascade could also operate in human as 

 T-bet and Zeb2 are similarly regulated in mouse and human NK 

 cells.},
