    Engineering a Niche Supporting Hematopoietic Stem Cell Development Using Integrated Single-Cell Transcriptomics

    To identify the signals responsible for HSC formation, scientists used single cell RNA-sequencing to simultaneously analyze the transcriptional profiles of aorta-gonad-mesonephros region-derived cells transitioning from hemogenic endothelium to HSCs,

    WDR82-Binding Long Noncoding RNA lncEry Controls Mouse Erythroid Differentiation and Maturation

    Investigators profiled the transcriptomes of 16 murine hematopoietic cell populations by deep RNA sequencing and identified a novel lncRNA, Gm15915, that was highly expressed in erythroid-related progenitors and erythrocytes.

    Abstract

    Ly49E Separates Liver ILC1s into Embryo-Derived and Postnatal Subsets with Different Functions

    Genetic fate-mapping analysis revealed that liver Ly49E+ ILC1s with strong cytotoxicity originated from embryonic non–bone marrow hematopoietic progenitor cells, persisted locally during postnatal life, and mediated protective immunity against cytomegalovirus infection in newborn mice.

    Abstract

    The Intercellular Communication Between Mesenchymal Stromal Cells and Hematopoietic Stem Cells Critically Depends on NF-κB Signaling in the Mesenchymal Stromal Cells

    Scientists found that pharmacological inhibition of NF-κB pathway in both control and CoCl2-treated mesenchymal stromal cells completely blocked their intercellular communication with the co-cultured HSCs and progenitor cells, resulting in an extremely poor output of hematopoietic cells.

    Hydroquinone Destabilizes BIM mRNA through Upregulation of p62 in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Cells

    Investigators proposed a mechanism by which hydroquinone induced the malignant progression of chronic myeloid leukemia cells.

    IL-6 Promotes Chemoresistance via Upregulating CD36 Mediated Fatty Acids Uptake in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

    The authors found that lipid transport-associated genes were upregulated in the high interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor expression group. IL-6 promoted fatty acid uptake in both AML cell lines and primary AML cells.

    Abstract

    Pentachlorophenol Has Significant Adverse Effects on Hematopoietic and Immune System Development in Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

    Researchers observed the adverse effects of pentachlorophenol (PCP) on the development of zebrafish by using fluorescence microscopy, and saw that increased concentrations of PCP decreased the numbers of normal red blood cells and myeloid cells.

    Preclinical and Pilot Study of Type I FLT3 Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor, Crenolanib, with Sorafenib in Acute Myeloid Leukemia and FLT3-Internal Tandem Duplication

    The combination of crenolanib and sorafenib was tolerable with antileukemic activities and rare emergence of FLT3-TKD mutations, which warrants further investigation.
