The Epigenetic Regulator RINF (CXXC5) Maintains SMAD7 Expression in Human Immature Erythroid Cells and Sustains Red Blood Cells Expansion

Scientists evaluated the consequences of retinoid-inducible nuclear factor (RINF) silencing on cytokineinduced erythroid differentiation of human primary CD34+ progenitors.

Melanoma Cells Can Be Eliminated by Sialylated CD43 Ă— CD3 Bispecific T Cell Engager Formats In Vitro and In Vivo

To increase the efficacy of AT1413 as a therapeutic antibody, researchers generated two different formats of bispecific T-cell engaging antibodies to both CD43s and CD3ε.

Pivotal Role of DPYSL2A in KLF4-Mediated Monocytic Differentiation of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells

The authors report that dihydropyrimidinase like 2 (DPYSL2), also known as CRMP2, was a novel key differentiation mediator downstream of KLF4 in acute myeloid leukemia cells.

Induction of Differentiation of the Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cell Line (HL-60) by a Securinine Dimer

Scientists found that SN3-L6 induced transdifferentiation of both acute myeloid leukemia and chronic myelogenous leukemia cells but unexpectedly, a new transdifferentiation pathway from acute promyelocytic leukemia cells to morphologically and immunologically normal megakaryocytes and platelets were discovered.

PVRIG Is a Novel NK Cell Immune Checkpoint Receptor in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Scientists showed that acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patient blasts consistently expressed the poliovirus receptor-related immunoglobulin domain-containing (PVRIG) ligand. Furthermore, PVRIG blockade significantly enhanced NK cell killing of PVRL2+, poliovirus receptorlo AML cell lines, and significantly increased NK cell activation and degranulation in the context of patient primary AML blasts.

Hyperglycemia Cooperates with Tet2 Heterozygosity to Induce Leukemia Driven by Pro-Inflammatory Cytokine Induced LncRNA Morrbid

Utilizing a novel mouse model bearing haploinsufficiency of Tet2, to mimic the human pre-leukemic stem and progenitor cells condition and hyperglycemic stress (HG), in the form of an Ins2Akita/+ mutation, which induces HG and type-1 diabetes mellitus, researchers showed that the compound mutant mice develop a lethal form of myeloproliferative neoplasm and/or acute myeloid leukemia.

The IL1-IL1RAP Axis Plays an Important Role in the Inflammatory Leukemic Niche that Favors Acute Myeloid Leukemia Proliferation Over Normal Hematopoiesis.

The IL1β-induced inflammatory secretome of IL1RAPexpressing acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells grown on a stromal layer of MSCs affected normal hematopoiesis including hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells while AML cell proliferation was not affected.
