Objective: Immune-related pancytopenia (IRP) is characterized by autoantibody-mediated destruction or suppression of bone marrow cells, leading to pancytopenia. This study aimed to explore the role of TRAPPC4 (trafficking protein particle complex subunit 4) as a key autoantigen in IRP, including epitope identification and immune activation mechanisms.
Methods: A total of 90 participants were included in the study, divided into four groups: 30 newly diagnosed IRP patients, 25 IRP remission patients, 20 patients with control hematologic conditions (severe aplastic anemia [SAA] and myelodysplastic syndrome [MDS]), and 15 healthy controls.

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) isolated from tissues such as bone marrow, cord, cord blood, etc., are frequently used as feeder layers to expand hematopoietic stem/ progenitor cells (HSCs/HSPCs) in vitro. They are also co-infused with the HSCs to improve the efficacy of transplantation.

Objective: Combining immune checkpoint inhibitors and antiangiogenic agents offers a promising strategy to counteract the cooperative promotion of solid tumor growth by immune checkpoints and intratumoral angiogenesis.
Methods: We investigated the potential of thalidomide (THD) and anti-PD-1 antibody (PD-1 mAb) in suppressing tumor growth, enhancing immunity, and inhibiting angiogenesis.
Results: THD exhibited regulatory effects on PD-1 in CD4+ T cells and PD-L1 in cancer cells, along with tumor growth inhibition in A549 and Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cell lines.

Background: Angiogenesis is mediated by endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) derived from bone-marrow. In this prospective study, we tried to investigate the clinical utility of circulating EPCs in lung cancer (LC) patients.
Materials And Methods: Flow cytometry technique was used to assess circulating EPCs according to the immuno-phenotype CD45 CD34 CD133 CD146 mononuclear cells.

Acute myeloid leukemia is a cancer involving uncontrolled proliferation of hematopoietic cells. Cutaneous involvement is referred to as leukemia cutis (LC). The histopathologic presentation of LC is variable, and may present with perivascular, periadnexal, dermal, or subcutaneous infiltrate.
