    FBXO11
    Is a Candidate Tumor Suppressor in the Leukemic Transformation of Myelodysplastic Syndrome

    Investigators report that loss of the F-Box protein FBXO11, a component of the SCF ubiquitin ligase complex, conferred cytokine independent growth to MDS-L cells, suggesting a tumor suppressor role for FBXO11 in myeloid malignancies.

    Extracellular Vesicles from Healthy Individuals Regulate Hematopoietic Stem Cells as Humans Age

    Researchers established that although extracellular vesicle (EV) particle size, concentration, and total protein content remain relatively consistent over an adult lifespan in humans, EV content evolves during aging and potentially influences hematopoietic stem cell regulation.

    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.

    Abstract

    SUV39H1 Regulates the Progression of MLL-AF9-Induced Acute Myeloid Leukemia

    Scientists found that SUV39H1 was down-regulated in a variety of leukemias, including MLL-r AML, as compared with normal individuals.

    Generation
    of an Immortalized Erythroid Cell Line from Hematopoietic Stem Cells of a Hemoglobin E/β-Thalassemia Patient

    Researchers generated an immortalized erythroid cell line from peripheral blood stem cells of a HbE/β-thalassemia patient. Morphological analysis showed the cells are proerythroblasts with some early basophilic erythroblasts, with no change in morphology over time in culture.

    Mitochondrial
    Protein Synthesis Is Essential for Terminal Differentiation of CD45– TER119– Erythroid and Lymphoid Progenitors

    Investigators found that mitochondrial dysfunction affected terminal differentiation of newly identified erythroid/B-lymphoid progenitors among CD45– Ter119– CD31– triple-negative cells in bone marrow.

    HLAs Influence Immunological Events in Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation from HLA-Identical Sibling Donors

    The authors retrospectively analyzed 4392 patients with leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome who received transplants from human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical sibling donors to investigate the effects of HLAs on acute graft-versus-host disease.

    Abstract

    Novel Frameshift Autosomal Recessive Loss-of-Function Mutation in SMARCD2
    Encoding a Chromatin Remodeling Factor Mediates Granulopoiesis

    Scientists report a new patient with a novel frameshift mutation and compared this patient with the previously reported SMARCD2-mutant patients, aiming to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the natural course of the disease.
