    Ibrutinib Induces Durable Remissions in Treatment-Naïve Patients with CLL and 17p Deletion/TP53 Mutations

    Investigators reported the long-term outcome of 27 patients with chronic lymphoid leukemia (CLL) treatment naïve with 17p deletion and/or TP53 mutation treated with ibrutinib alone or in combination with rituximab on a Phase II clinical study.

    Oncostatin M Regulates Hematopoietic Stem Cell (HSC) Niches in the Bone Marrow to Restrict HSC Mobilization

    Researchers showed that pro-inflammatory oncostatin M (OSM) was an important regulator of HSC niches in the bone marrow (BM). OSM up-regulated E-selectin expression on BM endothelial cells indirectly increasing HSC proliferation.

    Enhancer Recruitment of Transcription Repressors RUNX1 and TLE3 by Mis-Expressed FOXC1 Blocks Differentiation in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

    Scientists highlighted RUNX1 and CEBPA transcription factor swapping as a feature of leukemia cell differentiation and revealed that FOXC1 prevented this by stabilizing enhancer binding of a RUNX1/HDAC1/TLE3 transcription repressor complex to oncogenic effect.

    DOT1L O-GlcNAcylation Promotes Its Protein Stability and MLL-Fusion Leukemia Cell Proliferation

    DOT1L is a versatile histone H3K79 methyltransferase with a prominent role in mixed-lineage leukemia-fusion leukemia. The authors reported that DOT1L protein stability was regulated by the extracellular glucose level through the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway.

    Identification of Mutations That Cooperate with Defects in B Cell Transcription Factors to Initiate Leukemia

    To identify genetic defects that cooperated with Pax5 and Ebf1 compound heterozygosity to initiate leukemia, scientists performed a Sleeping Beaut transposon screen that identified cooperating partners including gain-of-function mutations in Stat5b and Jak1, or loss-of-function mutations in Cblb and Myb.

    Abstract

    NAD+ Augmentation with Nicotinamide Riboside Improves Lymphoid Potential of Atm−/− and Old Mice HSCs

    Researchers examined the effect of elevating NAD+ levels in models with reduced HSC potential, ATM-deficient and aged WT mice, and showed that supplementation of nicotinamide riboside, a NAD+ precursor, improved lymphoid lineage potential during supplementation.

    Hematopoietic and Non-Hematopoietic p66Shc Differentially Regulates Stem Cell Traffic and Vascular Response to Ischemia in Diabetes

    The authors examined the hematopoietic versus the non-hematopoietic role of p66Shc in regulating hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells traffic and blood flow recovery after ischemia in diabetic mice.

    Tetraspanin CD82 Regulates S1PR1-Mediated Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cell Mobilization

    Investigators identified the tetraspanin CD82 as a novel regulator of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) mobilization. Combining AMD3100 and anti-CD82 treatments, they detected enhanced mobilization of mouse HSPCs and human CD34+ cells in animal models.

    Altered Microbiota by a High-Fat Diet Accelerates Lethal Myeloid Hematopoiesis Associated with Systemic Socs3 Deficiency

    Although contributing to diet-induced obesity and fatty liver, suppressors of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) were nevertheless critical to suppress excess myeloid hematopoiesis and severe systemic inflammation associated with intestinal dysbiosis on a high-fat diet.

    A Randomized Phase II Trial of Idiotype Vaccination and Adoptive Autologous T Cell Transfer in Multiple Myeloma Patients

    In this randomized, Phase II trial, eligible patients received either the control or idiotype-keyhole limpet hemocyanin vaccine, an auto-transplant, vaccine-specific co-stimulated T cells expanded ex vivo, and two booster doses of the assigned vaccine.

    Dasatinib-Based Two-Step Induction for Adults with Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

    Researchers evaluated dasatinib-based two-step induction with the primary endpoint of three-year event-free survival as treatment for adults with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

    HSCT Remains the Only Cure for Patients with Transfusion-Dependent Thalassemia until Gene Therapy Strategies Are Proven to Be Safe

    The authors review current critical points of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation using alternative donors and assessing recently reported safety issues of gene therapy methods, and conclude that, although a breakthrough, the safety of gene therapy remains to be established.

    Clinical Features, Pathophysiology and Therapy of Poor Graft Function Post Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation

    The pathophysiology of poor graft function can be conceptualized as dysfunction related to the number or productivity of the stem cell compartment, defects in bone marrow microenvironment components such as mesenchymal stromal cells and endothelial cells, or immunological suppression of post allogeneic stem cell transplant hematopoiesis.
