A variant chronic B-cell lymphoma characterized by villous cells with novel immunophenotypic and cytogenetic profiles.

The less common chronic B-cell lymphomas include hairy cell leukemia, hairy cell leukemia variant and splenic lymphoma with villous lymphocytes. These disease entities can sometimes cause a diagnostic dilemma; however, immunophenotypic markers have been identified as disease specific and scoring systems have been proposed to assist the process. This study reports a case of a chronic B-cell lymphoma with long cytoplasmic projections which does not fit into any of the published disease categories based upon a combination of clinical and morphological features and immunophenotyping. Furthermore, this case featured a combination of cytogenetic abnormalities not previously described in the published literature in association with a B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder.

Differential stiffness and lipid mobility in the leaflets of purple membranes.

Purple membranes (PM) are two-dimensional crystals formed by bacteriorhodopsin and a variety of lipids. The lipid composition and density in the cytoplasmic (CP) leaflet differ from those of the extracellular (EC) leaflet. A new way of differentiating the two sides of such asymmetric membranes using the phase signal in alternate contact atomic force microscopy is presented. This method does not require molecular resolution and is applied to study the stiffness and intertrimer lipid mobility in both leaflets of the PM independently over a broad range of pH and salt concentrations. PM stiffens with increasing salt concentration according to two different regimes. At low salt concentration, the membrane Young's normal modulus grows quickly but differentially for the EC and CP leaflets. At higher salt concentration, both leaflets behave similarly and their stiffness converges toward the native environment value. Changes in pH do not affect PM stiffness; however, the crystal assembly is less pronounced at pH > or = 10. Lipid mobility is high in the CP leaflet, especially at low salt concentration, but negligible in the EC leaflet regardless of pH or salt concentration. An independent lipid mobility study by solid-state NMR confirms and quantifies the atomic force microscopy qualitative observations.

Spicules and the effect of rigid rods on enclosing membrane tubes.

Membrane tubes (spicules) arise in cells, or artificial membranes, in the nonlinear deformation regime due to, e.g., the growth of microtubules, actin filaments, or sickle hemoglobin fibers towards a membrane. We calculate the axial force f exerted by the tube, and its average radius, taking into account steric interactions between the fluctuating membrane and the enclosed rod. We find a smooth crossover of the axial force between f approximately square root of (sigma) and f approximately sigma as the membrane tension sigma increases and the tube radius shrinks. This crossover occurs around the most physiologically relevant membrane tensions. Our work may be important in (i) interpreting experiments in which axial force is related to the tube radius or membrane tension, and (ii) constructing dynamical theories for biopolymer growth in narrow tubes where these fluctuation effects control the tube radius.
