    Mast Cell Deficiency Prevents BCR::ABL1 Induced Splenomegaly and Cytokine Elevation in a CML Mouse Model

    Researchers showed for the first time that BCR::ABL1 drove the cytokine independent expansion of bone marrow derived mast cells and sensitized them for FcεRI triggered degranulation.

    Hematopoietic Jagged1 Is a Fetal Liver Niche Factor Required for Functional Maturation and Engraftment of Fetal Hematopoietic Stem Cells

    Through the use of single-cell analysis and transplantation assays, investigators provided evidence of Jagged1 as a novel niche factor for fetal liver HSCs.

    Abstract

    Aging-Induced Pseudouridine Synthase 10 Impairs Hematopoietic Stem Cells

    The authors observed that the expression of pseudouridine (Ψ) synthase 10 was increased in aged hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, and enforced PUS10 recapitulated the phenotype of aged hematopoietic stem cells, which was not achieved by its Ψ synthase activity.

    Abstract

    TIM-3 Signaling Hijacks the Canonical Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway to Maintain Cancer Stemness in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

    Researchers showed that the AML-specific autocrine loop comprised of T-cell immunoglobulin mucin-3 (TIM-3) and its ligand, galectin-9, drove the canonical Wnt pathway to stimulate self-renewal and propagation of leukemic stem cells, independent of Wnt ligands.

    R274X Mutated Phf6 Increased the Self-Renewal and Skewed T Cell Differentiation of Hematopoietic Stem Cells

    Scientists engineered a knock-in mouse line with conditional expression of PHD finger protein 6 (Phf6)R274X mutated protein in the hematopoietic system.

    PRMT1 Inhibition Promotes Ferroptosis Sensitivity via ACSL1 Upregulation in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

    The authors identified protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) as a ferroptosis regulator in AML. The type I PRMT inhibitor GSK3368715 promoted ferroptosis sensitivity in vitro and in vivo.

    Abstract

    Identification of a Genomic DNA Sequence That Quantitatively Modulates KLF1 Transcription Factor Expression in Differentiating Human Hematopoietic Cells

    Investigators identified a short, conserved enhancer element in Erythroid Krüppel-like Factor (KLF1) intron 1 that was important for establishing optimal levels of KLF1 in mouse and human cells.

    RUNX1 Mutation Has No Prognostic Significance in Pediatric AML: A Retrospective Study of the AML-BFM Study Group

    Scientists retrospectively analyzed a German cohort of 488 pediatric patients with de novo AML, enrolled in the AMLR12 or AMLR17 registry of the AML-BFM Study Group. A total of 23 pediatric AML patients harbored runt-related transcription factor-1 (RUNX1) mutations.
