Publications Interplay between diet, circulating indolepropionate concentrations and cardiometabolic health in US populationsDescription: CONCLUSIONS: Specific microbial species and dietary fibre jointly predicted significantly higher circulating IPA concentrations at higher tryptophan intake. Dietary and plasma tryptophan, as well as its kynurenine pathway metabolites, demonstrated divergent associations from those for IPA, which was significantly predictive of lower risk of T2D.Published: Friday, September 22, 2023 Primary central nervous system lymphoma: treatment access and outcomes in HIV positive patients in a minority rich cohortDescription: No abstractPublished: Monday, September 4, 2023 Ferroptosis in cancer immunity and immunotherapy: Multifaceted interplay and clinical implicationsDescription: Ferroptosis is a type of cell death characterized by iron-dependent phospholipid peroxidation and reactive oxygen species overproduction. Ferroptosis induces immunogenic cell death and elicits anti-tumor immune responses, playing an important role in cancer immunotherapy. Ferroptosis suppression in cancer cells impairs its immunotherapeutic efficacy. To overcome this issue, ferroptosis inducers (FINs) have been combined with other cancer therapies to create an anti-tumor immune microenvironment....Published: Friday, September 1, 2023 Next-generation sequencing of baseline genetic mutations and outcomes of eltrombopag and azacitidine therapy in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes and thrombocytopenia: Data from the SUPPORT clinical trialDescription: Eltrombopag has been previously shown to be effective in reversing azacitidine-mediated thrombocytopenia. This was further investigated in the SUPPORT trial, a phase III study assessing the efficacy/safety of eltrombopag plus azacitidine in patients with intermediate- to high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes and thrombocytopenia. The results did not support a clinical benefit for the addition of eltrombopag to azacitidine. We investigated if the somatic mutational profiles in the patient cohort...Published: Monday, August 21, 2023 Association of HIV and viral suppression status with hospital acute kidney injury in the era of antiretroviral therapyDescription: In the modern era, it is unknown if people that are virally suppressed with HIV (PWH) are at increased risk for acute kidney injury (AKI) compared to people without HIV and no studies have compared the risk of AKI by viral suppression status. Here, we determined the associations of HIV status and AKI among PWH with and without viral suppression compared to people without HIV. An observational cohort study of PWH and people without HIV hospitalized in a large New York City health system between...Published: Sunday, August 20, 2023 Drivers of Differential Time to Diagnosis in Pediatric ALL Tied to Race and EthnicityDescription: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common childhood malignancy, with diagnosis preceded by symptoms that may include fever, weight loss, fatigue, bleeding, and bruising. Timely diagnosis and treatment of ALL may lead to improved outcomes and reduced morbidity from associated complications, including tumor lysis syndrome, hyperviscosity, and stroke. We performed a retrospective cohort analysis of 274 pediatric pre-B cell ALL and acute lymphoblastic lymphoma patients within Montefiore...Published: Tuesday, August 1, 2023 Role of IL8 in myeloid malignanciesDescription: Aberrant overexpression of Interleukin-8 (IL8) has been reported in Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS), Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs) and other myeloid malignancies. IL8 (CXCL8) is a CXC chemokine that is secreted by aberrant hematopoietic stem and progenitors as well as other cells in the tumor microenvironment. IL8 can bind to CXCR1/CXCR2 receptors and activate oncogenic signaling pathways, and also increase the recruitment of myeloid derived suppressor cells...Published: Wednesday, July 19, 2023 SF3B1 mutation and ATM deletion codrive leukemogenesis via centromeric R-loop dysregulationDescription: RNA splicing factor SF3B1 is recurrently mutated in various cancers, particularly in hematologic malignancies. We previously reported that coexpression of Sf3b1 mutation and Atm deletion in B cells, but not either lesion alone, leads to the onset of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with CLL cells harboring chromosome amplification. However, the exact role of Sf3b1 mutation and Atm deletion in chromosomal instability (CIN) remains unclear. Here, we demonstrated that SF3B1 mutation promotes...Published: Tuesday, July 18, 2023 Acute myeloid leukemias with JAK2/STAT mutations are associated with PD-L1 upregulationDescription: Even though overexpression of the immune checkpoint protein, programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1), is observed in solid tumors, its expression patterns in acute myeloid leukemia remain understudied. As activation of the JAK/STAT pathway has been shown to enhance PD-L1 expression in preclinical models, we evaluated biopsies from AML patients with activating mutations in JAK2/STATs. PD-L1 expression was significantly upregulated in JAK2/STAT mutant cases when compared to JAK2 wildtype controls...Published: Monday, July 10, 2023 Role of innate immunological/inflammatory pathways in myelodysplastic syndromes and AML: a narrative reviewDescription: Dysregulation of the innate immune system and inflammatory-related pathways has been implicated in hematopoietic defects in the bone marrow microenvironment and associated with aging, clonal hematopoiesis, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). As the innate immune system and its pathway regulators have been implicated in the pathogenesis of MDS/AML, novel approaches targeting these pathways have shown promising results. Variability in expression of Toll like...Published: Saturday, July 8, 2023 Anaplastic thyroid cancer cells upregulate mitochondrial one-carbon metabolism to meet purine demand, eliciting a critical targetable vulnerabilityDescription: Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is one of the most aggressive and lethal tumor types, characterized by loss of differentiation, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, extremely high proliferation rate, and generalized resistance to therapy. To identify novel relevant, targetable molecular alterations, we analyzed gene expression profiles from a genetically engineered ATC mouse model and from human patient datasets, and found consistent upregulation of genes encoding enzymes involved in the...Published: Saturday, July 8, 2023 The FAT1 Cadherin Drives Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell MigrationDescription: Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are normally quiescent and non-migratory, regulating the contraction and relaxation of blood vessels to control the vascular tone. In response to arterial injury, these cells become active; they proliferate, secrete matrix proteins, and migrate, and thereby contribute importantly to the progression of several cardiovascular diseases. VSMC migration specifically supports atherosclerosis, restenosis after catheter-based intervention, transplant vasculopathy,...Published: Wednesday, June 28, 2023 Association of marijuana, tobacco and alcohol use with estimated glomerular filtration rate in women living with HIV and women without HIVDescription: CONCLUSION: Among a large cohort of WWH and women without HIV, marijuana use was associated with a lower eGFR while alcohol use was associated with a higher eGFR.Published: Friday, June 23, 2023 A Metabolically Optimized, Noncytotoxic Low-Dose Weekly Decitabine/Venetoclax in MDS and AMLDescription: CONCLUSIONS: This preliminary clinical experience, although retrospective, provides proof-of-activity of noncytotoxic DNA methyltransferase 1-targeting by allowing frequent, sustained drug exposure often not possible with standard HMA/VEN regimens.Published: Wednesday, June 21, 2023 Haploinsufficiency of the essential gene Rps12 causes defects in erythropoiesis and hematopoietic stem cell maintenanceDescription: Ribosomal protein (Rp) gene haploinsufficiency can result in Diamond-Blackfan Anemia (DBA), characterized by defective erythropoiesis and skeletal defects. Some mouse Rp mutations recapitulate DBA phenotypes, although others lack erythropoietic or skeletal defects. We generated a conditional knockout mouse to partially delete Rps12. Homozygous Rps12 deletion resulted in embryonic lethality. Mice inheriting the Rps12^(KO/+) genotype had growth and morphological defects, pancytopenia, and impaired...Published: Monday, June 5, 2023 Ribosomal protein mutations and cell competition: autonomous and nonautonomous effects on a stress responseDescription: Ribosomal proteins (Rps) are essential for viability. Genetic mutations affecting Rp genes were first discovered in Drosophila, where they represent a major class of haploinsufficient mutations. One mutant copy gives rise to the dominant "Minute" phenotype, characterized by slow growth and small, thin bristles. Wild-type (WT) and Minute cells compete in mosaics, that is, Rp+/- are preferentially lost when their neighbors are of the wild-type genotype. Many features of Rp gene haploinsufficiency...Published: Friday, June 2, 2023 Editing of APOL1 mRNA reduces APOL1 expression and activation of innate immunityDescription: No abstractPublished: Wednesday, May 24, 2023 Global Longitudinal Strain Is Associated with Mortality in Patients with Multiple MyelomaDescription: Patients with multiple myeloma (MM) are at a high risk for developing cardiovascular complications. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) can detect early functional impairment before structural abnormalities develop. It remains unknown if reduced GLS is associated with reduced survival in patients with MM. We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of patients diagnosed with MM between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2017 at our institution. Patients with a 2D transthoracic echocardiogram completed...Published: Thursday, April 13, 2023 Macrophages Promote Tumor Cell Extravasation across an Endothelial Barrier through Thin Membranous ConnectionsDescription: Macrophages are important players involved in the progression of breast cancer, including in seeding the metastatic niche. However, the mechanism by which macrophages in the lung parenchyma interact with tumor cells in the vasculature to promote tumor cell extravasation at metastatic sites is not clear. To mimic macrophage-driven tumor cell extravasation, we used an in vitro assay (eTEM) in which an endothelial monolayer and a matrigel-coated filter separated tumor cells and macrophages from...Published: Thursday, April 13, 2023 Study of efficacy and longevity of immune response to third and fourth doses of COVID-19 vaccines in patients with cancer: A single arm clinical trialDescription: CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that third dose of COVID vaccine induces durable immunity in cancer patients and an additional dose can further stimulate immunity in a subset of patients with inadequate response.Published: Tuesday, March 28, 2023 Outcome of Stem Cell Transplantation in HTLV-1-Associated North American Adult T-Cell Leukemia/LymphomaDescription: Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) remains challenging to treat and has dismal outcome. Allogeneic stem-cell transplantation (allo-SCT) has promising results, but data remain scarce. In this single-center retrospective analysis of 100 patients with ATLL from north America (67 acute, 22 lymphomatous), 17 underwent allo-SCT and 5 autologous SCT (ASCT), with a median follow-up of 65 months. Post-transplant 3-years relapse incidence (RI) and non-relapse mortality (NRM) were 51% and 37%,...Published: Wednesday, March 15, 2023 Molecular Damage in AgingDescription: Cellular metabolism generates molecular damage affecting all levels of biological organization. Accumulation of this damage over time is thought to play a central role in the aging process, but damage manifests in diverse molecular forms complicating its assessment. Insufficient attention has been paid to date to the role of molecular damage in aging-related phenotypes, particularly in humans, in part because of the difficulty in measuring its various forms. Recently, omics approaches have been...Published: Monday, February 27, 2023 PI3-kinase deletion promotes myelodysplasia by dysregulating autophagy in hematopoietic stem cellsDescription: Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a clonal malignancy arising in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). The mechanisms of MDS initiation in HSCs are still poorly understood. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway is frequently activated in acute myeloid leukemia, but in MDS, PI3K/AKT is often down-regulated. To determine whether PI3K down-regulation can perturb HSC function, we generated a triple knockout (TKO) mouse model with Pik3ca, Pik3cb, and Pik3cd deletion in hematopoietic cells....Published: Wednesday, February 22, 2023 A role of STING signaling in obesity-induced lung inflammationDescription: CONCLUSIONS: Our results collectively suggest that the STING signaling contributes to obesity-associated inflammation by stimulating proinflammatory processes in lung macrophages, one that may serve as a therapeutic target in ameliorating obesity-related lung dysfunctions.Published: Tuesday, February 14, 2023 Repurposing a Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 1 (CDK1) Mitotic Regulatory Network to Complete Terminal Differentiation in Lens Fiber CellsDescription: CONCLUSIONS: Here we define a conserved nonmitotic role for CDK1 and its upstream regulators in controlling LFCD. We find that CDK1 functionally interacts with WEE1, a nuclear kinase that inhibits CDK1 activity, and CDC25 activating phosphatases in cells where CDK1 activity must be exquisitely regulated to allow for LFCD. We also provide genetic evidence in multiple in vivo models that p27, a CDK1 inhibitor, inhibits lens growth and LFCD.Published: Friday, February 3, 2023 Development of a Web-Based Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) for Chinese Americans: A Formative Evaluation ApproachDescription: Increasing evidence demonstrates that an online Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) can delay the onset of type 2 diabetes. However, little has been done for Chinese Americans. This study, using Community-Based Participatory Research and Intervention Mapping approaches, describes a formative research process in the development of a culturally and linguistically tailored online DPP program among Chinese Americans with prediabetes living in New York City. Using a triangulation approach, data were...Published: Sunday, January 8, 2023 Increased adipose catecholamine levels and protection from obesity with loss of Allograft Inflammatory Factor-1Description: Recent studies implicate macrophages in regulation of thermogenic, sympathetic neuron-mediated norepinephrine (NE) signaling in adipose tissues, but understanding of such non-classical macrophage activities is incomplete. Here we show that male mice lacking the allograft inflammatory factor-1 (AIF1) protein resist high fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity and hyperglycemia. We link this phenotype to higher adipose NE levels that stem from decreased monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) expression and NE...Published: Tuesday, January 3, 2023 Erythropoiesis in lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes and beta-thalassemiaDescription: The hematologic disorders myelodysplastic syndromes and beta-thalassemia are characterized by ineffective erythropoiesis and anemia, often managed with regular blood transfusions. Erythropoiesis, the process by which sufficient numbers of functional erythrocytes are produced from hematopoietic stem cells, is highly regulated, and defects can negatively affect the proliferation, differentiation, and survival of erythroid precursors. Treatments that directly target the underlying mechanisms of...Published: Wednesday, December 28, 2022 Splicing factor deficits render hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells sensitive to STAT3 inhibitionDescription: Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) sustain lifelong hematopoiesis. Mutations of pre-mRNA splicing machinery, especially splicing factor 3b, subunit 1 (SF3B1), are early lesions found in malignancies arising from HSPC dysfunction. However, why splicing factor deficits contribute to HSPC defects remains incompletely understood. Using zebrafish, we show that HSPC formation in sf3b1 homozygous mutants is dependent on STAT3 activation. Clinically, mutations in SF3B1 are heterozygous;...Published: Wednesday, December 14, 2022 Acetophenone protection against cisplatin-induced end-organ damageDescription: Cisplatin is a widely used and efficacious chemotherapeutic agent for treating solid tumors, yet it causes systemic end-organ damage that is often irreversible and detrimental to quality of life. This includes severe sensorineural hearing loss, hepatotoxicity, and renal injury. Based on the hard-soft acid-base theory, we recently developed two acetophenone-derived, enol-based compounds that directly interfere with the side effects of cisplatin. We investigated organ-specific and generalized...Published: Thursday, December 8, 2022 DDX41-associated susceptibility to myeloid neoplasmsDescription: Deleterious germ line DDX41 variants confer risk for myeloid neoplasms (MNs) and less frequently for lymphoid malignancies, with autosomal dominant inheritance and an estimated prevalence of 3% among MNs. Germ line DDX41 variants include truncating alleles that comprise about two-thirds of all alleles, missense variants located preferentially within the DEAD-box domain, and deletion variants. The identification of a truncating allele on tumor-based molecular profiling should prompt germ line...Published: Thursday, December 1, 2022 A Co-Management Model for Myeloid Malignancies That Evolved during the COVID-19 PandemicDescription: CONCLUSION: We demonstrate a shared academic and community care co-management model for the treatment of myeloid malignancies in elderly, frail patients using telehealth as a backbone with a very low hospitalization rate.Published: Tuesday, November 29, 2022 Reducing the aneuploid cell burden - cell competition and the ribosome connectionDescription: Aneuploidy, the gain or loss of chromosomes, is the cause of birth defects and miscarriage and is almost ubiquitous in cancer cells. Mosaic aneuploidy causes cancer predisposition, as well as age-related disorders. Despite the cell-intrinsic mechanisms that prevent aneuploidy, sporadic aneuploid cells do arise in otherwise normal tissues. These aneuploid cells can differ from normal cells in the copy number of specific dose-sensitive genes, and may also experience proteotoxic stress associated...Published: Tuesday, November 29, 2022 Chaperone-mediated autophagy regulates adipocyte differentiationDescription: Adipogenesis is a tightly orchestrated multistep process wherein preadipocytes differentiate into adipocytes. The most studied aspect of adipogenesis is its transcriptional regulation through timely expression and silencing of a vast number of genes. However, whether turnover of key regulatory proteins per se controls adipogenesis remains largely understudied. Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is a selective form of lysosomal protein degradation that, in response to diverse cues, remodels the...Published: Wednesday, November 16, 2022 Lamp1 Deficiency Enhances Sensitivity to α-Synuclein and Oxidative Stress in Drosophila Models of Parkinson DiseaseDescription: Parkinson disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative condition affecting people predominantly at old age that is characterized by a progressive loss of midbrain dopaminergic neurons and by the accumulation of α-synuclein-containing intraneuronal inclusions known as Lewy bodies. Defects in cellular degradation processes such as the autophagy-lysosomal pathway are suspected to be involved in PD progression. The mammalian Lysosomal-associated membrane proteins LAMP1 and LAMP2 are transmembrane...Published: Friday, November 11, 2022 Viral associations with kidney disease diagnosis and altered kidney metatranscriptome by kidney functionDescription: Published: Thursday, November 10, 2022 Outcomes of PD for AKI treatment during COVID-19 in New York City: A multicenter studyDescription: CONCLUSIONS: The use of PD for the treatment of AKI was not associated with worse clinical outcomes when compared to extracorporeal dialysis during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City. Given the inherent selection biases and residual confounding in our observational study, research with a larger cohort of patients in a more controlled setting is needed to confirm our findings.Published: Wednesday, November 2, 2022 The CRL4 E3 ligase Mahjong/DCAF1 controls cell competition through the transcription factor Xrp1, independently of polarity genesDescription: Cell competition, the elimination of cells surrounded by more fit neighbors, is proposed to suppress tumorigenesis. Mahjong (Mahj), a ubiquitin E3 ligase substrate receptor, has been thought to mediate competition of cells mutated for lethal giant larvae (lgl), a neoplastic tumor suppressor that defines apical-basal polarity of epithelial cells. Here, we show that Drosophila cells mutated for mahjong, but not for lgl [l(2)gl], are competed because they express the bZip-domain transcription...Published: Monday, October 24, 2022 Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cell Identification and Transplantation in ZebrafishDescription: The zebrafish as a model organism is well known for its versatile genetics, rapid development, and straightforward live imaging. It is an excellent model to study hematopoiesis because of its highly conserved ontogeny and gene regulatory networks. Recently developed highly specific transgenic reporter lines have allowed direct imaging and tracking of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) in live zebrafish. These reporter lines can also be used for fluorescence-activated cell sorting...Published: Tuesday, October 18, 2022 Lenalidomide and Eltrombopag for Treatment of Low- or Intermediate-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome: Result of a Phase II Clinical TrialDescription: CONCLUSIONS: ELT and LEN are well tolerated and effective in achieving hematologic improvement in patients with low-/intermediate-risk MDS.Published: Tuesday, October 18, 2022 TCL-150 Outcome of Stem Cell Transplantation in HTLV-1-Associated North American Adult T-Cell Leukemia/LymphomaDescription: CONCLUSIONS: AlloSCT led to better long-term outcomes and lower relapse rates than ASCT. Haploidentical and HTLV-1-positive donors are feasible in the absence of suitable donors. Interestingly, Hispanic patients had worse outcomes compared to Black patients in the multivariate analysis. To our knowledge, this has not been previously described and could possibly be attributed to epidemiologic genetic variations in HTLV-1 subtypes between the 2 groups. Further investigation is required, including...Published: Tuesday, September 27, 2022 Allograft inflammatory factor-1-like is a situational regulator of leptin levels, hyperphagia, and obesityDescription: Mouse models enable the study of genetic factors affecting the complex pathophysiology of metabolic disorders. Here, we identify reductions in leptin levels, food intake, and obesity due to high-fat diet, accompanied by increased leptin sensitivity, in mice that harbor the E2a-Cre transgene within Obrq2, an obesity quantitative trait locus (QTL) that includes the leptin gene. Interestingly, loss of allograft inflammatory factor-1-like (AIF1L) protein in these transgenic mice leads to similar...Published: Thursday, September 22, 2022 Live-cell Imaging of Biosynthetic Protein Transport in HepatocytesDescription: Here, we describe a strategy to analyze the exit of apical and basolateral cargo from the trans-Golgi network in primary hepatocytes. The method is based on recombinant adenovirus-mediated infection combined with a pulse-chase regimen and live-cell imaging analysis of fluorescent protein-tagged dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) and vesicular stomatitis virus G (VSVG) cargo proteins, coexpressed and accumulated in the endoplasmic reticulum via DPPIV aggregation through an engineered conditional...Published: Tuesday, September 20, 2022 Reduced endosomal microautophagy activity in aging associates with enhanced exocyst-mediated protein secretionDescription: Autophagy is essential for protein quality control and regulation of the functional proteome. Failure of autophagy pathways with age contributes to loss of proteostasis in aged organisms and accelerates the progression of age-related diseases. In this work, we show that activity of endosomal microautophagy (eMI), a selective type of autophagy occurring in late endosomes, declines with age and identify the sub-proteome affected by this loss of function. Proteomics of late endosomes from old mice...Published: Sunday, September 18, 2022 COVID-19 and Kidney DiseaseDescription: COVID-19 can cause acute kidney injury and may cause or exacerbate chronic kidney diseases, including glomerular diseases. SARS-CoV-2 infection of kidney cells has been reported, but it remains unclear if viral infection of kidney cells causes disease. The most important causes of kidney injury in patients with COVID-19 include impaired renal perfusion and immune dysregulation. Chronic kidney disease, especially kidney failure with kidney replacement therapy and kidney transplant, is associated...Published: Thursday, September 15, 2022 The lysosomal proteome of senescent cells contributes to the senescence secretomeDescription: Senescent cells accumulate in tissues over time, favoring the onset and progression of multiple age-related diseases. Senescent cells present a remarkable increase in lysosomal mass and elevated autophagic activity. Here, we report that two main autophagic pathways macroautophagy (MA) and chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) are constitutively upregulated in senescent cells. Proteomic analyses of the subpopulations of lysosomes preferentially engaged in each of these types of autophagy revealed...Published: Saturday, September 10, 2022 Interleukin 4 Controls the Pro-Tumoral Role of Macrophages in Mammary Cancer Pulmonary Metastasis in MiceDescription: Metastasis is the systemic manifestation of cancer and the main cause of death from breast cancer. In mouse models of lung metastases, recruitment of classical monocytes from blood to the lung and their differentiation to metastasis-associated macrophages (MAMs) facilitate cancer cell extravasation, survival and growth. Ablation of MAMs or their monocytic progenitors inhibits metastasis. We hypothesized that factors controlling macrophage polarization modulate tumor cell extravasation in the...Published: Friday, September 9, 2022 A glycan-based approach to cell characterization and isolation: Hematopoiesis as a paradigmDescription: Cell surfaces display a wide array of molecules that confer identity. While flow cytometry and cluster of differentiation (CD) markers have revolutionized cell characterization and purification, functionally heterogeneous cellular subtypes remain unresolvable by the CD marker system alone. Using hematopoietic lineages as a paradigm, we leverage the extraordinary molecular diversity of heparan sulfate (HS) glycans to establish cellular "glycotypes" by utilizing a panel of anti-HS single-chain...Published: Tuesday, September 6, 2022 Megakaryopoiesis impairment through acute innate immune signaling activation by azacitidineDescription: Thrombocytopenia, prevalent in the majority of patients with myeloid malignancies, such as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML), is an independent adverse prognostic factor. Azacitidine (AZA), a mainstay therapeutic agent for stem cell transplant-ineligible patients with MDS/AML, often transiently induces or further aggravates disease-associated thrombocytopenia by an unknown mechanism. Here, we uncover the critical role of an acute type-I interferon (IFN-I) signaling...Published: Friday, September 2, 2022 Activation of targetable inflammatory immune signaling is seen in myelodysplastic syndromes with SF3B1 mutationsDescription: CONCLUSIONS: SF3B1 mutation leads to expression of a therapeutically targetable, longer, oncogenic IRAK4 isoform in AML/MDS models.Published: Tuesday, August 30, 2022
