    TOP STORY

    Mesoderm-Derived PDGFRA+ Cells Regulate the Emergence of Hematopoietic Stem Cells in the Dorsal Aorta

    The authors investigated whether mesenchymal stem cells, which provide an essential niche for long-term HSCs in the bone marrow, resided in the aorta–gonad–mesonephros and contributed to the development of the dorsal aorta and endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition.

    Loss of Sphingosine Kinase 2 Promotes the Expansion of Hematopoietic Stem Cells by Improving Their Metabolic Fitness

    Researchers showed that enzyme sphingosine kinase 2, which generates the lipid metabolite sphingosine-1-phosphate, was highly expressed in HSCs.

    Abstract

    Xist Exerts Gene-Specific Silencing during XCI Maintenance and Impacts Lineage-Specific Cell Differentiation and Proliferation during Hematopoiesis

    Scientists conditionally deleted Xist in hematopoietic system of mice and reported differentiation and cell cycle defects in female hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells.

    An Acquired Phosphatidylinositol 4-Phosphate Transport Initiates T Cell Deterioration and Leukemogenesis

    Researchers reported that oxysterol-binding protein-related protein 4 L was expressed in adult T cell leukemia cells but not normal T cells.

    Bone Marrow Confined IL-6 Signaling Mediates the Progression of Myelodysplastic Syndromes to Acute Myeloid Leukemia

    The authors established a mDia1/miR-146a double knockout (DKO) mouse model phenocopying myelodysplastic syndromes, and found that most of the DKO mice underwent leukemic transformation at 12-14 months of age.

    Abstract

    SLIT2 Promoter Hypermethylation-Mediated SLIT2-IT1/miR-218 Repression Drives Leukemogenesis and Predicts Adverse Prognosis in Myelodysplastic Neoplasm

    SLIT2 promoter methylation was markedly increased in myelodysplastic neoplasm/AML patients compared with controls and was correlated with poor clinical phenotype and outcome.

    Abstract

    A Novel CD34-Specific T Cell Engager Efficiently Depletes Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Leukemic Stem Cells In Vitro and In Vivo

    To target drug-resistant primitive leukemic cells better, scientists designed a CD34/CD3 bi-specific T cell engager and characterized its anti-leukemia potential in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo.

    Endothelial-Specific Gata3 Expression Is Required for Hematopoietic Stem Cell Generation

    Researchers have previously demonstrated an HSC-supportive function for GATA3 within the sympathetic nervous system and the sub-aortic mesenchyme, but showed here that it also played a cell-intrinsic role during the endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition.

    Bone Marrow Imaging Reveals the Migration Dynamics of Neonatal Hematopoietic Stem Cells

    Investigators developed an intravital imaging method to visualize bone marrow in neonatal long bones formed by endochondral ossification which is essential for HSC niche formation.

    Proteomic and Phosphoproteomic Landscapes of Acute Myeloid Leukemia

    Scientists identified two cell surface proteins expressed on AML blasts of many patients that could represent novel targets for immunologic therapies, and confirmed these targets via flow cytometry.

    The Development of Pevonedistat in Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) and Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML): Hope or Hype?

    The authors summarize the preclinical and clinical rationale for pevonedistat in MDS and AML, review the clinical data of this agent alone and in combination with hypomethylating agents to date, and highlight potential future directions for this agent in myeloid malignancies.
