High-Fat Diet Intensifies MLL-AF9-Induced Acute Myeloid Leukemia through Activation of the FLT3 Signaling in Mouse Primitive Hematopoietic Cells

Using a MLL-AF9 knock-in mouse model, researchers discovered that consumption of a high-fat diet accelerates the risk of developing acute myeloid leukemia.

Increased Baseline RASGRP1 Signals Enhance Stem Cell Fitness during Native Hematopoiesis

The authors expanded RASGRP1 expression surveys in pediatric T-ALL and generated a RoLoRiG mouse model crossed to Mx1CRE to determine the consequences of induced RASGRP1 overexpression in primary hematopoietic cells.

tagHi-C Reveals 3D Chromatin Architecture Dynamics during Mouse Hematopoiesis

Investigators introduced a low-input tagmentation-based Hi-C (tagHi-C) method to capture the chromatin structures of hundreds of cells. Using tagHi-C, they were able to map the spatiotemporal dynamics of chromatin structure in ten primary hematopoietic stem, progenitor, and differentiated cell populations from mouse bone marrow.

Activation of CpG-Rich Promoters Mediated by MLL Drives MOZ-Rearranged Leukemia

The authors describe the circuitry of a transactivation system responsible for oncogenic self-renewal. MLL recruited RNA polymerase II to unmethylated CpG-rich promoters by its CXXC domain and activated transcription by transcriptional regulators, including the AF4 family/ENL family/P-TEFb complex, DOT1L, and p300/CBP histone acetyl transferases.

Outcomes of Second Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Using Reduced‐Intensity Conditioning in an Outpatient Setting

Outpatient second hematoprogenitors transplant after reduced‐intensity conditioning at a single academic center was analyzed. Twenty‐seven consecutive adults who received an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo‐HSCT) after an initial auto‐ or allo‐HSCT from 2006 to 2019 were included.

Ambrisentan, an Endothelin Receptor Type A-Selective Antagonist, Inhibits Cancer Cell Migration, Invasion, and Metastasis

In vitro, Ambrisentan inhibited both spontaneous and induced migration/invasion capacity of different tumor cells. Whole transcriptome analysis using RNAseq indicated Ambrisentan’s inhibitory effects on the whole transcriptome of resting and PAR2-activated COLO-357 cells, which tended to normalize to an unstimulated profile.
