Key Points C/EBPε acetylation regulates C/EBPε transcriptional activity. C/EBPε acetylation is required for neutrophil differentiation and the formation of neutrophil-specific granules.

Key Points Somatic mutations were discovered for the first time in the SH2 domain of the STAT5b gene in LGL leukemia. The mutations are activating and lead to increased phosphorylation and transcriptional activity of STAT5b.

Differentiation and maturation of myeloid cells is characterized by the sequential acquisition of two distinct cytoplasmic granule subsets, azurophil granules and specific granules. We recently showed the existence of a third granule subset, gelatinase granules. To investigate whether appearance of gelatinase granules marks a further step in maturation of myeloid cells beyond the appearance of specific granules, we sorted normal human bone marrow cells into one of three groups according to maturity by centrifugation on Percoll density gradients. The biosynthesis of myeloperoxidase (MPO) (an azurophil granule marker), lactoferrin and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin NGAL (specific granules markers) and gelatinase was then studied in each of these groups. We found that gelatinase was synthesized mainly in the group containing band cells and segmented cells. This contrasted with lactoferrin and NGAL, which were synthesized almost exclusively in the group containing myelocytes and metamyelocytes, and with MPO, which was mainly synthesized in the group containing myeloblasts and promyelocytes. Immunocytochemistry was in full agreement with the biosynthesis data, and showed that gelatinase appears in band cells, whereas NGAL and lactoferrin both appear in myelocytes. Thus, acquisition of gelatinase granules marks a step in neutrophil differentiation beyond the appearance of specific granules.

Key Points A novel RARα fusion gene, TBLR1-RARα, was found in rare cases of APL with t(3;17) chromosomal translocation. TBLR1-RARα exhibited diminished transcriptional activity by recruiting more corepressors compared with RARα.

Key Points Decitabine treatment of in vitro expanded primary AML samples leads to global hypomethylation. Highly methylated CpGs are most affected by decitabine-induced hypomethylation, with little influence on transcriptional activity.

Key Points DNA methylation profile of Runx1 locus correlates with transcriptional activity and promoter usage during blood development. Distal promoter hypomethylation is a novel signature of definitive hematopoiesis and is promoted in vitro by direct interaction with HoxB4.
