    Cell Type Specific Novel LncRNAs and CircRNAs in the BLUEPRINT Hematopoietic Transcriptomes Atlas

    The authors analyzed the BLUEPRINT consortium RNA- seq data for mature hematopoietic cell types. The data comprised 90 total RNA-seq samples, each composed of one of 27 cell types, and 32 small RNA-seq samples, each composed of one of 11 cell types.

    Nuclear Export of Chimeric mRNAs Depends on an lncRNA-Triggered Autoregulatory Loop in Blood Malignancies

    Scientists showed that the nuclear speckle-specific long noncoding RNA MALAT1 controlled chimeric mRNA export processes and regulated myeloid progenitor cell differentiation in malignant hematopoiesis.

    Ryk Modulates the Niche Activity of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells by Fine-Tuning Canonical Wnt Signaling

    Investigators found that Ryk—an atypical Wnt receptor with a pseudokinase domain—had a Wnt-modulating effect in bone marrow stromal cells to control hematopoiesis-supporting activities.

    Utilization and Cost Implications of Hematopoietic Progenitor Cells Stored for a Future Salvage Autologous Transplantation or Stem Cell Boost in Myeloma Patients

    In this single-center retrospective study, researchers analyzed the utilization of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) collected and stored at the time of first autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation in patients with myeloma and the cost implications of HPC collection targets sufficient for two transplants.

    Abstract

    A Somatic Evolutionary Model of the Dynamics of Aneuploid Cells during Hematopoietic Reconstitution

    Researchers demonstrated by Monte Carlo modeling that two mechanisms could underlie an aneuploidy peak: rapid expansion of the engrafted hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell population and bone marrow microenvironment degradation caused by pre-transplantation radiation treatment.

    An In Vitro Quantitative Systems Pharmacology Approach for Deconvolving Mechanisms of Drug-Induced, Multilineage Cytopenias

    To improve predictive understanding of drug-induced myelosuppression, scientists developed a quantitative systems pharmacology model of hematopoiesis in vitro for quantifying the effects of anti-cancer agents on multiple hematopoietic cell lineages.

    Gemfibrozil Induces Anemia, Leukopenia and Reduces Hematopoietic Stem Cells via PPAR-α in Mice

    Investigators analyzed bone marrow and found that gemfibrozil reduced erythrocytes and hematopoietic stem cells in wild-type mice but not in PPAR-alpha-knockout mice, while increased colony-forming units were observed only in wild-type mice treated with gemfibrozil.

    Effect of Simulated Microgravity Conditions of Hindlimb Unloading on Mice Hematopoietic and Mesenchymal Stromal Cells

    C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into two groups: a control group and a hindlimb suspension group. After four weeks of hindlimb suspension, scientists found that this simulated microgravity condition increased the percentage of monocytes and macrophages and decreased the percentage of B lymphocytes and mature red cells in bone marrow.

    Upfront Stem Cell Transplantation for Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma with del(17p) and t(4;14): A Study from the CMWP-EBMT

    Researchers analyzed newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients with del(17p) and/or t(4;14) undergoing either upfront single autologous, tandem autologous or tandem autologous/reduced-intensity allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

    90Y-Labeled Anti-CD45 Antibody Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation for High-Risk Multiple Myeloma

    To improve disease control without increasing the toxicity of a reduced-intensity allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in multiple myeloma, a Phase I trial was performed using an antibody-radionuclide conjugate targeting CD45 as conditioning.
