Background/aims: Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been used in severe cases of autoimmunity. We investigated whether hemopoietic progenitor cells and/or bone marrow (BM) microenvironment are affected in autoimmune hepatitis type-1 (AIH-1) and primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC).
Methods: We studied 13 AIH-1 patients, 13 PBC patients, 12 cirrhotic controls (CC) and ten healthy controls (HC). Flow cytometry, expansion cultures, long-term BM cultures and clonogenic progenitor cell assays were used. Stromal cell function was assessed in long-term BM cultures recharged with normal CD34+ cells.
Results: AIH-1 had increased CD34+, CD34+/CD38+ and CD34+/CD38- cells compared to all groups (P<0.001). PBC had lower progenitor cells compared to controls (P<0.005). No differences were found between CC and HC. Committed progenitor cells in non-adherent cell fraction were increased in AIH-1 (P<0.05) but decreased in PBC compared to controls (P<0.05). Granulocyte-macrophage colony forming units (CFU) and erythroid-burst CFU were increased in AIH-1 compared to all groups (P<0.001). PBC had these CFUs decreased compared to controls (P<0.005). Stromal cells failed to support normal hemopoiesis in PBC.
Conclusions: We demonstrated for the first time that AIH-1 had increased hemopoietic progenitor cells and normal stromal function. In PBC, progenitor cells and BM microenvironment were defective. Further studies will determine the significance of these novel findings.

Osteopetrosis is an inherited metabolic disease, characterized by increased bone density and narrow marrow cavity. Patients with severe osteopetrosis exhibit abnormal bone brittleness, anemia, and infection complications, which commonly cause death within the first decade of life. Pathologically, osteopetrosis impairs not only the skeletal system, but also the hemopoietic and immune systems during development, while the underlying osteoimmunological mechanisms remain unclear.

Introduction: The CD34+ hematopoietic cell count was used to define cell harvest goals. Successful peripheral blood stem cell transplantation depends on infusion of an appropriate number of HPCs to achieve rapid and durable hematologic recovery.
Purpose: In this study, we evaluated the use of the Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell count program on the Sysmex XN-3000 hematology analyzer as an effective parameter for enumerating CD34+ cells.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores human mast cell (MC) differentiation from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), aiming to enhance understanding of MC development and subtypes due to limitations in current cellular models.* -
- Analysis using flow cytometry shows distinct hematopoietic progenitor populations during the differentiation process, with various characteristics identified in early and later stages, including hypergranular and hypogranular cell types.* -
- Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) highlighted diverse cell populations, revealing several progenitor types, and demonstrated that cultured MC precursors can be matured into uniform mature MCs through specific media.*

Background: Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a complicated hematopoietic malignancy characterized by bone marrow (BM) dysplasia with symptoms like anemia, neutropenia, or thrombocytopenia. MDS exhibits considerable heterogeneity in prognosis, with approximately 30% of patients progressing to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a new and powerful technique to profile disease landscapes.

In this study, we investigated whether matched and mismatched multidrug resistance gene (MDR1) genotypes (G2677TA, C1236T and C3435T) were associated with prognosis in patients after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). One hundred patients after transplantation and their donors were enrolled. Matched MDR1 G2677TA donor-recipient was associated with an increased risk of non-relapse mortality (NRM) (29.
