    Clonal Selection of Hematopoietic Stem Cells after Gene Therapy for Sickle Cell Disease

    Researchers used whole-genome sequencing to track HSCs from six patients with sickle cell disease at pre- and post-gene therapy time points to map the somatic mutation and clonal landscape of gene-modified and unmodified HSCs.

    A Longitudinal Single-Cell Atlas of Treatment Response in Pediatric AML

    Scientists used single-cell RNA sequencing and single-cell ATAC sequencing to profile 28 patients representing different pediatric AML subtypes at diagnosis, remission and relapse.

    Microbial Ligand-Independent Regulation of Lymphopoiesis by NOD1

    Investigators demonstrated that NOD1, a cytosolic innate sensor of bacterial peptidoglycan, also functioned in murine hematopoietic cells as a major regulator of both the generation and differentiation of lymphoid progenitors as well as peripheral T lymphocyte homeostasis.

    Abstract

    Regulation of Kynurenine Metabolism by Blood Donor Genetics and Biology Impacts Red Cell Hemolysis In Vitro and In Vivo

    Researchers performed metabolomics of red blood cell units at storage day 10, 23 and 42 for a total of 1,929 samples, and also characterized for end of storage hemolytic propensity following oxidative and osmotic insults.

    Abstract

    LAIR-1 Agonism as a Therapy for Acute Myeloid Leukemia

    The authors developed a therapeutic LAIR-1 agonist antibody, NC525, that induced cell death of leukemic stem cells (LSCs), but not healthy hematopoietic stem cells in vitro, and killed LSCs and AML blasts in both cell- and patient-derived xenograft models.

    Abundant Binary Promoter Switches in Lineage-Determining Transcription Factors Indicate a Digital Component of Cell Fate Determination

    Differentiation of CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors in vitro showed that cells with GATA1 antisense transcription had enhanced GATA2 transcription and a mast cell phenotype, whereas cells with GATA2 antisense transcription had increased GATA1 transcripts and an erythroblast phenotype.

    The miR-221/222 Cluster Regulates Hematopoietic Stem Cell Quiescence and Multipotency by Suppressing Both Fos/AP-1/IEG Pathway Activation and Stress-Like Differentiation to Granulocytes

    The authors found that the miR-221/222 cluster, which was expressed in HSC and in multipotent progenitors differentiating from them, perturbed steady-state hematopoiesis in ways comparable to stress.

    Abstract

    Blinatumomab for First-Line Treatment of Children and Young Persons with B-ALL

    Data were collected for consecutive children and young persons aged 1-24 years with Philadelphia chromosome–positive or Philadelphia chromosome–negative B-ALL who received blinatumomab as first-line therapy.

    Abstract

    Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential Predicts Incident Cardiac Arrhythmias

    Scientists tested the association of clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential with new-onset arrhythmias. UK Biobank participants without prevalent arrhythmias were included. Co-primary study outcomes were supraventricular arrhythmias, bradyarrhythmias, and ventricular arrhythmias.

    How We Treat Sickle Cell Disease in Pregnancy

    Prior to and during pregnancy, in addition to the assessment and care that every pregnant patient should receive, patients with sickle cell disease should be evaluated and treated by a multidisciplinary team with respect to their unique maternal and fetal issues.
