    Mitochondrial Fragmentation Triggers Ineffective Hematopoiesis in Myelodysplastic Syndromes

    Scientists demonstrated that overwhelming mitochondrial fragmentation in mutant hematopoietic stem cells and progenitors triggered ineffective hematopoiesis in myelodysplastic syndromes.

    Aspartate Availability Limits Hematopoietic Stem Cell Function during Hematopoietic Regeneration

    Overexpression of the glutamate/aspartate transporter, Glast, or deletion of glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 1, Got1 each increased aspartate levels in HSCs/progenitor cells and increased the function of HSCs but not colony-forming progenitors.

    An In Vivo Selection-Derived D-Peptide for Engineering Erythrocyte-Binding Antigens That Promote Immune Tolerance

    Researchers investigated a straightforward approach based on erythrocyte binding to promote antigen-specific tolerance to both peptides and proteins, and showed that a fully D-chiral peptide library could be selected in vivo for the de novo discovery of a robust erythrocyte binder, which they attached to peptide and protein antigens.

    Abstract

    TET3 Promotes AML Growth and Epigenetically Regulates Glucose Metabolism and Leukemic Stem Cell Associated Pathways

    Investigators reported that the epigenetic factor, Ten-Eleven Translocation 3 (TET3) dioxygenase was overexpressed in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients and functionally validated human leukemic stem cells, and was required for leukemic growth by virtue of its regulation of glucose metabolism in AML cells.

    Abstract

    NOTCH-Mediated Ex Vivo Expansion of Human Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells by Culture under Hypoxia

    The authors demonstrated that ex vivo culture of human adult human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells with Delta-like ligand under low oxygen tension limited ER stress in long-term repopulating-HSCs and lineage-committed progenitors compared with normoxic cultures.

    CCT245718, a Dual FLT3/Aurora a Inhibitor Overcomes D835Y-Mediated Resistance to FLT3 Inhibitors in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells

    The ability of CCT245718 to overcome TKD-mediated resistance was evaluated in a cell line-based model of drug resistance to Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) inhibitors.

    Abstract

    Arhgef2 Regulates Mitotic Spindle Orientation in Hematopoietic Stem Cells and Is Essential for Productive Hematopoiesis

    Researchers demonstrated that transplanted Arhgef2−/− fetal liver and bone marrow cells yielded impaired hematopoietic recovery and a production deficit from long-term HSCs, phenotypes that were not the result of differences in numbers of transplanted HSCs, their cell cycle status, level of apoptosis, progenitor output, or homing ability.

    Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Carrying microRNA-548ac Regulate Hematopoietic Function via the TRIM28/STAT3 Pathway

    The expression of miR-548ac and TRIM28 and the targeting relationship were identified, and the results demonstrated that the expression of miR-548ac was upregulated in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines and AML cell-secreted extracellular vesicles compared with CD34+ HSCs.

    Abstract

    Reelin Depletion Alleviates Multiple Myeloma Bone Disease by Promoting Osteogenesis and Inhibiting Osteolysis

    Scientists investigated the regulatory effects of Reelin on multiple myeloma and its underlying pathogenic mechanisms. In vitro studies showed that Reelin depletion regulated osteolysis and osteogenesis balance, cell cycle, invasiveness, and apoptosis in SP2/0 cells.

    CRNDE Enhances the Expression of MCM5 and Proliferation in Acute Myeloid Leukemia KG-1a Cells by Sponging miR-136-5p

    Investigators showed that the long-noncoding RNA colorectal neoplasia differentially expressed (CRNDE) was overexpressed in both acute myeloid leukemia samples and cell lines. CRNDE silencing inhibited proliferation and increased apoptotic rate and cell cycle arrest of KG-1a cells.

    Low-Dose Decitabine Modulates T-Cell Homeostasis and Restores Immune Tolerance in Immune Thrombocytopenia

    Scientists analyzed the effect of decitabine on T-cell subpopulations in immune thrombocytopenia in vitro and in vivo. They found that low-dose decitabine promoted the generation and differentiation of regulatory T cells and augmented their immunosuppressive function.

    PHF6 and JAK3 Mutations Cooperate to Drive T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Progression

    The average survival time was shorter in patients with JAK/STAT and PHF6 comutation than that in other patients, suggesting a potential role of PHF6 in leukemia progression.

    Bortezomib and Rituximab in De-Novo Adolescent/Adult CD20-Positive, Ph-Negative Pre B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

    Researchers conducted a Phase II study to test the activity of bortezomib and rituximab in combination with a pediatric-inspired regimen during induction therapy in newly diagnosed adolescents and adults with CD20-positive, Philadelphia (Ph)-negative precursor B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

    Lysosomes in Acute Myeloid Leukemia: Potential Therapeutic Targets?

    The authors give an overview on the myriad of functions performed by lysosomes and their importance in malignant disease and discuss their relevance in hematopoietic cells and different ways to potentially target them in acute myeloid leukemia.
