    Mediated Epigenetic Programming Facilitates Fetal HSPC Development in Vertebrates

    Researchers profiled the chromatin accessibility and transcriptional features of zebrafish nascent- and fetal HSPCs using ATAC-seq and RNA-seq and revealed dynamic changes during HSPC transition.

    Bone Marrow-Derived Myeloid Progenitors as Driver Mutation Carriers in High- and Low-Risk Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis

    Investigators examined the CD34+c-Kit+Flt3+ myeloid progenitor population as potential mutation carrier in all langerhans cell histiocytosis disease manifestations.

    Abstract

    The
    Polycomb-Associated Factor PHF19 Controls Hematopoietic Stem Cell State and Differentiation

    Researchers showed that, in stark contrast to results published for other Polycomb repressive complex 2 subunits, genetic depletion of Phf19 increased hematopoietic stem cell identity and quiescence.

    Abstract

    Increased
    FGF-23 Levels Are Linked to Ineffective Erythropoiesis and Impaired Bone Mineralization in Myelodysplastic Syndromes

    Investigators showed that myelodysplastic NUP98‑HOXD13 transgenic mice displayed an abnormally high number of osteoblasts, yet a higher fraction of nonmineralized bone, indicating delayed bone mineralization. This was accompanied by high fibroblast growth factor-23 serum levels, a phosphaturic hormone that inhibits bone mineralization and erythropoiesis.

    Physioxia Enhances T Cell Development Ex Vivo
    from Human Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells

    Scientists report that physiologically relevant oxygen concentration, an important environmental thymic factor promoted differentiation of cord blood CD34+ cells into progenitor T cells in serum‐free and feeder‐free culture system. This effect was enhanced by a potent reducing and antioxidant agent, ascorbic acid.

    Abstract

    Collection
    and Processing of Mobilized Mouse Peripheral Blood at Lowered Oxygen Tension Yields Enhanced Numbers of Hematopoietic Stem Cells

    The authors demonstrated that similar to mouse bone marrow and human cord blood, collection and processing of mouse granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF)-, AMD3100/Plerixafor- or G-CSF plus AMD3100/Plerixafor-mobilized HSCs in 3% O2 resulted in enhanced numbers of rigorously-defined phenotypic and for G-CSF – and G-CSF plus AMD3100/Plerixafor – mPB enhanced functionally-engrafting hematopoietic stem cells.

    Acute
    Alcohol Intoxication Impairs SHH‐Gli1 Signaling and Activation of Primitive Hematopoietic Precursor Cells in the Early Stage of Host Response to Bacteremia

    Investigators determined the effect of alcohol exposure on sonic hedgehog signaling in the regulation of hematopoietic stem cell activation during bacteremia.

    Activated
    HoxB4-Induced Hematopoietic Stem Cells from Murine Pluripotent Stem Cells via Long-Term Programming

    Researchers describe the role of HoxB4 in indirectly inhibiting the emergence of mature CD45+ hematopoietic stem cells from induced pluripotent stem cells in vitro.

    Prognostic
    Impact of TP53 Mutation, Monosomal Karyotype, and Prior Myeloid Disorder in Nonremission Acute Myeloid Leukemia at allo-HSCT

    The authors analyzed prognostic gene mutations by targeted next-generation sequencing to identify predisposing factors for predicting overall survival at one month before transplantation. They enrolled 120 patients with nonremission acute myeloid leukemia who underwent first allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) between 2005 and 2018.

    Hematopoietic
    Stem Cell Transplantation and Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell for Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

    Scientists treated 14 relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients by combining autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy.
