High-frequent silencing of hematopoietic cell-specific protein-tyrosine phosphatase SHP1 gene by promoter methylation was detected in various kinds of leukemias and lymphomas, as well as in many hematopoietic cell lines, which is supported by our previous observation of strong decrease of SHP1 mRNA and protein. The promoter methylation of the SHP1 gene was clearly correlated with the clinical stage. Loss of heterozygosity with microsatellite markers near the SHP1 gene was shown in 79% of informative acute lymphoblastic leukemia cases. These results suggest that functional loss of SHP1 is associated with the pathogenesis of leukemias/lymphomas.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous hematologic malignancy characterized by the clonal expansion of myeloid progenitor cells. Despite advancements in treatment, the prognosis for AML patients remains poor, highlighting the need for novel therapeutic targets. Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Non-Receptor Type 6 (PTPN6), also known as SHP-1, is a critical regulator of hematopoietic cell signaling and has been implicated in various leukemias.

Background: Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) activation by monosodium urate crystals (MSU) is crucial to acute gouty arthritis and subsequent spontaneous remission within 7-10 days. Activated PMNs release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) that entrap MSU crystals, forming NET-MSU aggregates. Whether NET-MSU aggregates contribute to the resolution of acute inflammation remains to be elucidated.

The nonreceptor tyrosine phosphatases (PTPS) SHP1 and SHP2 have crucial roles in dephosphorylating an array of substrates involved in pathways comprising receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and immune receptors. This regulation maintains a delicate balance between the activation and inhibition of signal transduction, ensuring appropriate biological outcomes. In this review, we summarize research focused on elucidating the functions of SHP1 and SHP2 in hematopoiesis, immune regulation, and tumor biology, emphasizing recent findings related to cancer-driven immune evasion.

Article Synopsis
  • * The NPs contain lanthanum ions, cGAMP, and PTPN6 siRNA, which boost STING pathway activation and promote the maturation of dendritic cells, leading to increased secretion of key immune proteins.
  • * In vivo studies reveal that these NPs effectively inhibit tumor growth and enhance systemic anti-tumor immunity by increasing mature dendritic cells and promoting CD8 T cell infiltration, suggesting their potential as a strong anti-tumor treatment.
