The Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway is important in regulating not only self-renewal of haemopoietic progenitors and stem cells but also haemopoietic differentiation of ESCs (embryonic stem cells). However, it is still not clear how it affects haemopoietic differentiation. We have used a co-culture system for haemopoietic differentiation of mouse ESCs and iPSCs (induced pluripotent stem cells) in which the Wnt3a gene-modified OP9 cell line is used as stromal cells. The number of both Flk1+ and CD41+ cells generated from both co-cultured mouse ESCs and mouse iPSCs increased significantly, which suggest that Wnt3a is involved in the early stages of haemopoietic differentiation of mouse ESCs and mouse iPSCs in vitro.

Vanadium pentoxide (VO) is one of the compounds that have been reported to pose varying degrees of toxicity upon exposure; thus, making it a challenging environmental hazard that affects living organisms. This study investigated the cytotoxicity effects of daily sub-lethal oral doses of VO on the bone marrow of male Oryctolagus cuniculus after 21 days. Male O.

Single-cell sequencing of lineage negative (Lin-) cells from patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) revealed a reduction in ferritin heavy chain 1 (FTH1) levels, yet the significance of this decrease in FTH1 in the pathophysiology of MDS remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated the role of FTH1 in patients with MDS. The mRNA expression of FTH1 in GlycoA nucleated erythrocytes from MDS patients was significantly lower than that in control group.

Inositol polyphosphate-5-phosphatase E (INPP5E) is a 5-phosphatase critically involved in diverse physiological processes, including embryonic development, neurological function, immune regulation, hemopoietic cell dynamics, and macrophage proliferation, differentiation, and phagocytosis. Mutations in cause Joubert and Meckel-Gruber syndromes in humans; these are characterized by brain malformations, microphthalmia, situs inversus, skeletal abnormalities, and polydactyly. Recent studies have demonstrated the key role of INPP5E in governing intracellular processes like endocytosis, exocytosis, vesicular trafficking, and membrane dynamics.

In malignant hematological diseases, clonal genetic alterations, such as chromosomal aberrations and gene mutations, are responsible for the uncontrolled division of abnormal hemopoietic cells. The detection of clonal variants has not only diagnostic, but also prognostic and therapeutic significance. They enable risk-based differentiated treatment of patients and the use of targeted (genotype-specific) therapies.

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.
