    SEC23A Rescues SEC23B-Deficient Congenital Dyserythropoietic Anemia Type II

    Investigators showed that mice with erythroid-specific deletion of all four Sec23 alleles died in mid-embryogenesis with features of congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type II, and that mice with deletion of three Sec23 alleles exhibited a milder erythroid defect.

    Neuropilin 1 Regulates Bone Marrow Vascular Regeneration and Hematopoietic Reconstitution

    Researchers reported that bone marrow (BM) vascular endothelial cells secreted semaphorin 3 A (SEMA3A) in response to myeloablation and SEMA3A induced p53–mediated apoptosis in BM endothelial cells via signaling through its receptor, Neuropilin 1 (NRP1), and activation of cyclin dependent kinase 5.

    Quinacrine-CASIN Combination Overcomes Chemoresistance in Human Acute Lymphoid Leukemia

    Scientists identified Quinacrine (QC) as a sensitizer for Cytarabine (AraC) in treating acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and showed that QC enhanced AraC-mediated killing of ALL cells, and subsequently abrogated AraC resistance both in vitro and in an ALL-xenograft model.

    Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cell Membrane-Coated Nanoparticles for Cancer Vaccination Immunotherapy

    The authors reported the development of an acute myeloid leukemia cell membrane-coated nanoparticle vaccine platform, in which immune-stimulatory adjuvant-loaded nanoparticles were coated with leukemic cell membrane material.

    Fragmentation of Tissue-Resident Macrophages during Isolation Confounds Analysis of Single-Cell Preparations from Mouse Hematopoietic Tissues

    Analysis of RNA sequencing data, including publicly available datasets, indicated that macrophage fragmentation was a general phenomenon that confounded bulk and single-cell analysis of disaggregated hematopoietic tissues.

    A Coordinated Function of lncRNA HOTTIP and miRNA-196b Underpinning Leukemogenesis by Targeting FAS Signaling

    Using combined integrated analyses of global miRNA expression profiling and state-of-the-art genomic analyses of chromatin such as ChIRP-seq, ChIP-seq, and ATAC-seq, researchers found that some miRNA genes were directly controlled by HOTTIP.

    Abstract

    Induced Cell-Autonomous Neutropenia Systemically Perturbs Hematopoiesis in Cebpa Enhancer-Null Mice

    The authors indicated that Cebpa-enhancer deletion caused cell autonomous neutropenia, which reprogramed and disturbed the quiescence of HSCs, leading to a systemic impairment of the hematopoietic process.

    Establishment of the TBX-Code Reveals Aberrantly Activated T-Box Gene TBX3 in Hodgkin Lymphoma

    Scientists revealed a lymphoid TBX-code and used it to identify an aberrant network around deregulated T-box gene TBX3 in Hodgkin lymphoma which promoted hallmark aberrations of this disease.

    Clonal Hematopoiesis Mutations in Lung Cancer Patients Are Associated with Lung Cancer Risk Factors

    The authors analyzed whole-exome sequencing data from 1,958 lung cancer cases and controls. Potential clonal hematopoiesis mutations were identified by a set of hierarchical filtering criteria in different exonic regions.

    CD19-CAR T Cells Undergo Exhaustion DNA Methylation Programming in Patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

    To gain a deeper understanding of the molecular characteristics associated with CAR T cell differentiation, researchers performed longitudinal genome-wide DNA methylation profiling of CD8+ CD19-CAR T cells post-infusion in acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients.
