Hematopoiesis is a complex process tightly controlled by sets of transcription factors in a context-dependent and stage-specific manner. Smad2/3 transcription factor plays a central role in differentiation and survival of erythroid cells. Here we report that follistatin-like 1 (FSTL1) treatment impairs hemin-induced erythroid differentiation and cell survival. FSTL1 differentially regulates transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling. Blockade of Smad2/3 signaling with the ALK5/type I TGF-βR kinase inhibitor, SB-525334, was efficacious for rescue of erythroid differentiation blockage and apoptosis. Reversely, activation of Smad1/5/8 signaling with BMP4 cannot rescue FSTL1-mediated erythroid differentiation blockage and apoptosis. Collectively, these data provide mechanistic insight into the regulation of erythropoiesis by FSTL1 signaling and lay a foundation for exploring FSTL1 signaling as a therapeutic target for anemia.

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.

Erythroleukemia, a complex myeloproliferative disorder presenting as acute or chronic, is characterized by aberrant proliferation and differentiation of erythroid cells. Although nootkatone, a sesquiterpene derived from grapefruit peel and Alaska yellow cedar, has shown anticancer activity predominantly in solid tumors, its effects in erythroleukemia remain unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the impact of nootkatone and its derivatives on erythroleukemia.

Before committing to an erythroid cell lineage, hematopoietic stem cells differentiate along a myeloid cell pathway to generate megakaryocyte-erythroid biopotential progenitor cells in bone marrow. Recent studies suggest that erythroid progenitors (EryPs) could be generated at the level of common myeloid progenitors (CMPs). However, due to a lack of suitable markers, little is known about the early differentiation of these committed EryP cells during CMP development.
