EGFRvIII expression and PTEN loss synergistically induce chromosomal instability and glial tumors (2009)

Li, Li, Dutra, Amalia, Pak, Evgenia, Labrie, Joseph E., Gerstein, Rachel M., Pandolfi, Pier Paolo, ...

Glioblastomas often show activation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and loss of PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10) tumor suppressor, but it is not known if...

p37Ing1b regulates B-cell proliferation and cooperates with p53 to suppress diffuse large B-cell lymphomagenesis (2008)

Coles, Andrew H., Marfella, Concetta G. A., Imbalzano, Anthony N., Steinman, Heather Anne, Garlick, David S., Gerstein, Rachel M., ...

The Inhibitor of Growth (ING) gene family encodes structurally related proteins that alter chromatin to regulate gene expression and cell growth. The initial member, ING1, has also been proposed to...

Cbfbeta-SMMHC impairs differentiation of common lymphoid progenitors and reveals an essential role for RUNX in early B-cell development (2007)

Kuo, Ya-Huei, Gerstein, Rachel M., Castilla, Lucio H.

The core-binding factor (CBF)-associated leukemia fusion protein CBFbeta-SMMHC impairs myeloid and lymphoid differentiation. By inhibiting RUNX function, the fusion oncoprotein predisposes...

Bone marrow microenvironmental changes in aged mice compromise V(D)J recombinase activity and B cell generation (2005)

Labrie, Joseph E., Borghesi, Lisa A., Gerstein, Rachel M.

B cell generation and immunoglobulin (Ig) diversity in mice is compromised with aging. Our recent work sought to understand mechanism(s) that contribute to reduced B cell production in aged mice....

Bone marrow microenvironmental changes underlie reduced RAG-mediated recombination and B cell generation in aged mice (2004)

Labrie, Joseph E., Sah, Alex P., Allman, David M., Cancro, Michael P., Gerstein, Rachel M.

During aging, adaptive immunity is severely compromised, due in part to decreased production of B lymphocytes and loss of immunoglobulin (Ig) diversity. However, the molecular mechanisms that...

Developmental separation of V(D)J recombinase expression and initiation of IgH recombination in B lineage progenitors in vivo (2004)

Borghesi, Lisa A., Gerstein, Rachel M.

In B lineage progenitors, V(D)J recombination occurs only during distinct stages of development and is restricted to immunoglobulin loci. This process is thought to be controlled by both regulated...

B lineage-specific regulation of V(D)J recombinase activity is established in common lymphoid progenitors (2004)

Borghesi, Lisa A., Hsu, Lih-Yun, Miller, Juli P., Anderson, Michael, Herzenberg, Leonard A., Herzenberg, Leonore A., ...

Expression of V(D)J recombinase activity in developing lymphocytes is absolutely required for initiation of V(D)J recombination at antigen receptor loci. However, little is known about when during...

Wnt5a inhibits B cell proliferation and functions as a tumor suppressor in hematopoietic tissue (2003)

Liang, Huiling, Chen, Qin, Coles, Andrew H., Anderson, Stephen J., Pihan, German A., Bradley, Allan, ...

Wnt5a is a member of the Wnt family of secreted glycoproteins that play essential organizing roles in development. Similar to other Wnt members, Wnt5a can upregulate cell proliferation and has been...

The resolution of relapsing fever borreliosis requires IgM and is concurrent with expansion of B1b lymphocytes (2003)

Alugupalli, Kishore R., Gerstein, Rachel M., Chen, Jianzhu, Szomolanyi-Tsuda, Eva, Woodland, Robert T., Leong, John M.

The rate of pathogen clearance is a critical determinant of morbidity and mortality. We sought to characterize the immune response responsible for the remarkably rapid clearance of individual...

Developmental Separation of V(D)J Recombinase Expression and Initiation of IgH Recombination in B Lineage Progenitors In Vivo

Borghesi, Lisa, Gerstein, Rachel M.

In B lineage progenitors, V(D)J recombination occurs only during distinct stages of development and is restricted to immunoglobulin loci. This process is thought to be controlled by both regulated...

B Lineage–specific Regulation of V(D)J Recombinase Activity Is Established in Common Lymphoid Progenitors

Borghesi, Lisa, Hsu, Lih-Yun, Miller, Juli P., Anderson, Michael, Herzenberg, Leonard, Herzenberg, Leonore, ...

Expression of V(D)J recombinase activity in developing lymphocytes is absolutely required for initiation of V(D)J recombination at antigen receptor loci. However, little is known about when during...
