Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics and survival analysis of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with gene mutation.

Methods: Clinical data of 177 newly diagnosed MDS patients admitted to the Department of Hematology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University from October 1, 2015 to October 31, 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Gene mutation detection was performed by second-generation sequencing technology, and clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with gene mutation were analyzed.

Enhancer of zeste homolog 2(EZH2) is a histone methyltransferase which regulate gene expression through epigenetic machinery. The abnormal expression of EZH2 has been described in many cancer types. With in-depth study, it was found that EZH2 is involved in the occurrence and development in many kinds of malignant hematologic disease which may play a dual role of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes.

Objective: To investigate the safety and efficacy of decitabine combined with CAG regimen in the treat-ment of newly diagnosed elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML).

Methods: Fourty-nine patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (except M3) who were admitted to our hospital were selected. All the patients were older than 50 years old, and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation could not be performed for various reasons.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study found that adding UC-MSC to CD4 T cell cultures significantly increased IL-9 production, with results suggesting that this enhancement requires direct cell-to-cell contact.
  • * CD106 expression was upregulated when UC-MSC were co-cultured with CD4 T cells, and blocking CD106 reduced the effectiveness of UC-MSC in promoting IL-9 production, indicating a potential mechanism for UC-MSC's immune-modulatory effects.

The main aim of this study was to investigate the biological activities and immune modulation changes of chorionic villi mesenchymal stem cells (CV-MSC) after long term culture. The morphology of the CV-MSC of passage 3 and passage 9 were observed by microscopy, and their phenotypes were detected by flow cytometry. CV-MSC of passage 3 and 9 were co-cultured with PHA-stimulated PBMNC, and IFN-γ concentration in culture medium was detected by ELISA.

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of IL-1β on hematopoietic support of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSC). 2×10(6) hUC-MSC were seeded in 75 cm(2) flasks, after adherence to wall for 2 h, 10 ng/ml IL-1β was added in hUC-MSC supernatant and cultured for 36 h, then the culture supernatants and cells were harvested. The effect of conditioned medium with/without IL-1β on CD34(+) cell hematopoietic support was observed, mRNA expression changes of hUC-MSC cultured in medium with/without IL-1β were monitored by real time PCR, the differences in hematopoiesis-related factors were detected by ELISA.

Comparing to bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), placenta-derived MSCs have the advantages of adequate sources, low immunogenicity, little risk of viral contamination, and no ethical controversy, and thus possess a better prospect for clinical application. Placental tissue not only includes chorionic and amniotic, but also contains decidua basalis which locate in the maternal placenta surface. The biological characteristics of MSCs isolated from decidua basalis have not been well studied.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) reside in almost all of the body tissues, where they undergo self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation. MSCs derived from different tissues share many similarities but also show some differences in term of biological properties. We aim to search for significant differences among various sources of MSCs and to explore their implications in physiopathology and clinical translation.

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) play important roles in modulating the activities of T lymphocytes, dendritic cells and natural killer cells. These immunoregulatory properties of MSC suggest their therapeutic potential in autoimmune diseases. However, the effects of MSC on B cells are still poorly understood.

This study was aimed to explore whether the conditioned culture medium of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSC) has supportive effects on hematopoiesis in vitro. hUC-MSC were cultured in 75 cm(2) culture flasks at a concentration of 2×10(6) cells per flask. After 48 h, the conditioned culture medium was harvested.

Because advantage of tissue origin and proliferation potential, the umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSC) and placental chorionic villous-derived mesenchymal stem cells (CV-MSC) have clinical application potential, as compared with bone marrow MSC. But whether the differences of biological characteristics exist between UC-MSC and CV-MSC, which deserve to be further explored. This study was purposed to compare the biological characteristics of UC-MSC and CV-MSC.

Background/aims: Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) possess immunosuppressive activities but the mechanisms of such activities are not fully understood. Here, we investigated the role of IL-6, one of the characteristic factors of MSCs, in the immunoregulating effect of hUC-MSCs on CD4(+) T lymphocytes.

Methods: The condition media from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (hPBMCs) or CD14+/- cell were tested if stimulating IL-6 production by hUC-MSCs.
