    The
    TRACE-Seq Method Tracks Recombination Alleles and Identifies Clonal Reconstitution Dynamics of Gene Targeted Human Hematopoietic Stem Cells

    Scientists describe Tracking Recombination Alleles in Clonal Engraftment using sequencing (TRACE-Seq), a methodology that utilizes barcoded AAV6 donor template libraries, carrying in-frame silent mutations or semi-randomized nucleotides outside the coding region, to track the in vivo lineage contribution of gene-targeted hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell clones.

    Genome-Wide Analysis of Pseudogenes Reveals HBBP1’s
    Human-Specific Essentiality in Erythropoiesis and Implication in β-Thalassemia

    Extensive functional assays demonstrated that HBBP1 was essential for erythropoiesis by binding the RNA-binding protein, HNRNPA1, to upregulate TAL1, a key regulator of erythropoiesis.

    Modeling,
    Optimization, and Comparable Efficacy of T Cell and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Gene Editing for Treating Hyper‐IgM Syndrome

    Investigators developed a one‐size‐fits‐all editing strategy for effective T‐cell correction, selection, and depletion and investigated the therapeutic potential of T‐cell and hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell therapies in the hyper‐IgM syndrome mouse model.

    Metoclopramide
    Treatment Blocks CD93-Signaling-Mediated Self-Renewal of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Stem Cells

    The authors identified CD93 as an important regulator of self-renewal and proliferation of murine and human leukemia stem cells, but not HSCs.

    Inflammation-Driven
    Deaminase Deregulation Fuels Human Pre-Leukemia Stem Cell Evolution

    Comparative whole-genome and whole-transcriptome sequencing analyses of FACS-purified pre-leukemia stem cells from myeloproliferative neoplasm patients revealed APOBEC3C upregulation, an increased C-to-T mutational burden, and hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell proliferation during progression, which could be recapitulated by lentiviral APOBEC3C overexpression.

    SUMOylation
    Disassembles the Tetrameric Pyruvate Kinase M2 to Block Myeloid Differentiation of Leukemia Cells

    Scientists found that SUMOylation of the M2 isoform of pyruvate kinase, a rate-limiting glycolytic enzyme catalyzing the dephosphorylation of phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate, was prevalent in a variety of leukemic cell lines as well as primary samples from patients with leukemia through multiple-reaction monitoring based targeted mass spectrometry analysis.

    High Erythroferrone Expression in CD71+
    Erythroid Progenitors Predicts Superior Survival in Myelodysplastic Syndromes

    The authors analyzed the expression of erythroferrone and growth/differentiation factor 15 in CD71+ erythroid progenitors of 111 myelodysplastic syndrome patients and assessed their effects on patient survival.

    Lead
    in Synergism with IFNγ Acts on Bone Marrow-Resident Macrophages to Increase the Quiescence of Hematopoietic Stem Cells

    Scientists found that lead (Pb)-increased quiescence of HSCs critically relied on a synergetic action of Pb and IFNγ on bone marrow-resident macrophages, but not a direct action of Pb on HSCs.

    Donor
    Characteristics and Intraoperative Total Nucleated Cell Count Influence Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell Yield of Healthy Donor Bone Marrow Grafts

    Investigators retrospectively reviewed marrow harvests at their institution performed between 2009 and 2019. During this time, an intraoperative total nucleated cell count was measured after 50% of the projected final graft volume was collected.

    Interplay
    between Cofactors and Transcription Factors in Hematopoiesis and Hematological Malignancies

    The authors summarize the current knowledge regarding the models and functions of cofactor–transcription factor interplay in physiological hematopoiesis and highlight their implications in the etiology of hematological malignancies.

    Understanding
    of the Crosstalk between Normal Residual Hematopoietic Stem Cells and the Leukemic Niche in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

    Researchers present evidence of the key role of the bone marrow niche in suppressing HSCs during leukemic progression and provide perspectives on how future research in this topic may be exploited to provide treatments for one of the key complications of acute myeloid leukemia.
