Abstract
Allogeneic T cell platforms utilizing induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology exhibit significant promise for the facilitation of adoptive immunotherapies. While mature T cell receptor (TCR) signaling plays a crucial role in generating T cells from iPSCs, the introduction of exogenous mature TCR genes carries a potential risk of causing graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). In this study, we present the development of truncated TCRα and TCRβ chains, termed mini-TCRs, which lack variable domains responsible for recognizing human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-peptide complexes. We successfully induced cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) from iPSCs by employing mini-TCRs. Combinations of TCRα and TCRβ fragments were screened from mini-TCR libraries based on the surface localization of CD3 proteins and their ability to transduce T cell signaling. Consequently, mini-TCR-expressing iPSCs underwent physiological T cell development, progressing from the CD4 and CD8 double-positive stage to the CD8 single-positive stage. The resulting iPSC-derived CTLs exhibited comparable cytokine production and cytotoxicity in comparison to that of full-length TCR-expressing T lymphocytes when chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) were expressed. These findings demonstrate the potential of mini-TCR-carrying iPSCs as a versatile platform for CAR T cell therapy, offering a promising avenue for advancing adoptive immunotherapies.

Abstract
Genetic engineering of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) holds great promise for gene and cell therapy as well as drug discovery. However, there are potential concerns regarding the safety and control of gene expression using conventional vectors such as viruses and plasmids. Although human artificial chromosome (HAC) vectors have several advantages as a gene delivery vector, including stable episomal maintenance and the ability to carry large gene inserts, the full potential of HAC transfer into iPSCs still needs to be explored. Here, we provide evidence of a HAC transfer into human iPSCs by microcell-mediated chromosome transfer via measles virus envelope proteins for various applications, including gene and cell therapy, establishment of versatile human iPSCs capable of gene loading and differentiation into T cells, and disease modeling for aneuploidy syndrome. Thus, engineering of human iPSCs via desired HAC vectors is expected to be widely applied in biomedical research.

Abstract
Chromosomal rearrangements deregulating hematopoietic transcription factors are common in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Here we show that deregulation of the homeobox transcription factor gene DUX4 and the ETS transcription factor gene ERG is a hallmark of a subtype of B-progenitor ALL that comprises up to 7% of B-ALL. DUX4 rearrangement and overexpression was present in all cases and was accompanied by transcriptional deregulation of ERG, expression of a novel ERG isoform, ERGalt, and frequent ERG deletion. ERGalt uses a non-canonical first exon whose transcription was initiated by DUX4 binding. ERGalt retains the DNA-binding and transactivation domains of ERG, but it inhibits wild-type ERG transcriptional activity and is transforming. These results illustrate a unique paradigm of transcription factor deregulation in leukemia in which DUX4 deregulation results in loss of function of ERG, either by deletion or induced expression of an isoform that is a dominant-negative inhibitor of wild-type ERG function.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) reside in the bone marrow (BM) niche in a noncycling state and enter the cell cycle at long intervals. However, little is known about inter- and intracellular signaling mechanisms underlying this unique property of HSCs. Here, we show that lipid raft clustering is a key event in the regulation of HSC dormancy. Freshly isolated HSCs from the BM niche lack lipid raft clustering, exhibit repression of the AKT-FOXO signaling pathway, and express abundant p57(Kip2) cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor. Lipid raft clustering induced by cytokines is essential for HSC re-entry into the cell cycle. Conversely, inhibition of lipid raft clustering caused sustained nuclear accumulation of FOXO transcription factors and induced HSC hibernation ex vivo. These data establish a critical role for lipid rafts in regulating the cell cycle, the survival, and the entry into apoptosis of HSCs and uncover a striking similarity in HSC hibernation and Caenorhabditis elegans dauer formation.

Abstract
Using an in silico database search, we identified a novel gene encoding a cell surface molecule with a thrombospondin domain, and designated the gene as transmembrane molecule with thrombospondin module (Tmtsp). Expression profiling of Tmtsp using specific monoclonal antibodies and Venus, a variant of yellow fluorescent protein knock-in mice in the Tmtsp locus, demonstrated its specific expression in hematopoietic and endothelial cells. In lymphohematopoietic cells, Tmtsp was predominantly expressed in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, and the level of expression gradually declined as the cells differentiated. Venus expression faithfully traced the expression of Tmtsp, and the level of Venus expression correlated well to the in vitro hematopoietic activity as well as the in vivo bone marrow repopulating capacity. Notably, Venus expression marked the development of definitive hematopoiesis in both the extraembryonic yolk sac and the intraembryonic aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) region and, in combination with CD41, strikingly promoted the enrichment of developing progenitors in the CD41(+)Venus(high) fraction at embryonic day 10.5 (E10.5). In this context, Tmtsp is a novel marker gene for primitive hematopoietic cells and endothelial cells, and Tmtsp(Venus/)(+) mice would serve as a valuable mouse model for the analysis of both embryonic and adult hematopoiesis, as well as for vascular biology.
