    The N-Glycome Regulates the Endothelial-to-Hematopoietic Transition

    Researchers showed that microRNA-223 (miR-223)–mediated regulation of N-glycan biosynthesis in endothelial cells (ECs) regulated endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition. MiR-223 was enriched in hemogenic endothelial cells and in oligopotent nascent hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells.

    IDH1 Mutation Contributes to Myeloid Dysplasia in Mice by Disturbing Heme Biosynthesis and Erythropoiesis

    Investigators showed that isocitrate dehydrogenase 1-mutant mice developed myeloid dysplasia in that these animals exhibited anemia, ineffective erythropoiesis, and increased immature progenitors and erythroblasts.

    Small Molecule Inhibition of Dynamin-Dependent Endocytosis Targets Multiple Niche Signals and Impairs Leukemia Stem Cells

    Scientists showed that Dynole 34-2, a potent inhibitor of Dynamin GTPase activity, could block transduction of key signaling pathways and overcome chemoresistance of leukemia stem cells.

    Prdm16 Is a Critical Regulator of Adult Long-Term Hematopoietic Stem Cell Quiescence

    To investigate the role of Prdm16 in adult hematopoietic stem cells, the authors generated a novel conditional knockout mouse model and deleted Prdm16 in adult mouse hematopoietic system using the IFN-inducible Mx1-Cre.

    Abstract

    The Master Regulator Protein BAZ2B Can Reprogram Human Hematopoietic Lineage-Committed Progenitors into a Multipotent State

    Human mRNA transcript profiling at multiple time points permited the tracking of the reprogramming of B cell nuclei to a multipotent state. Interrogation of a human B cell regulatory network with gene expression signatures identified eight candidate master regulator proteins.

    Stem Cell Characteristics Promote Aggressiveness of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

    Functional studies with gene-overexpressed and gene-silenced DLBCL cell lines showed that expression of NANOG and HOXA9 promoted cell viability and inhibited apoptosis through suppression of G2 arrest in vitro and enhanced tumor formation and hepatosplenic infiltration in a tail-vein-injected mouse model.

    ATG5-Dependent Autophagy Uncouples T Cell Proliferative and Effector Functions and Separates Graft-versus-Host Disease from Graft-versus-Leukemia

    To assess the relevance of autophagy to T cell allo-immunity, the authors generated T cell specific ATG5 knock-out mice. Deficiency of ATG5 dependent autophagy reduced T cell proliferation, increased apoptosis following in vitro and in vivo allo-stimulation.

    Relapse of Acute Myeloid Leukemia after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation: Clinical Features and Outcomes

    Scientists investigated clinical features and outcomes of posttransplant relapse of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) based on data for 1265 patients with AML suffering relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation conducted during complete remission.

    Indication and Benefit of Upfront Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for T-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma in the Era of ALL-Type Induction Therapies

    Investigators performed a multicenter retrospective cohort study of patients with T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma treated using leukemia-type initial therapies to compare the outcomes after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation at different disease stages.

    Genetic and Epigenetic Determinants of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

    One of the major insights produced by such research is that diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) almost always stems from genetic damage that occurs during the germinal center reaction, which is required for the production of high-affinity antibodies.

    CRISPR and Another Genetic Strategy Fix Cell Defects in Two Common Blood Disorders

    It is a double milestone: new evidence that cures are possible for many people born with sickle cell disease and another serious blood disorder, beta-thalassemia, and a first for the genome editor CRISPR.
