AI Article Synopsis

  • Clodronate-liposomes (Clod-Lip) show promising effects in treating certain blood-related disorders in mice, but their impact on recovery from acute myelosuppression remains unclear.
  • In experiments, Clod-Lip reduced survival rates and delayed the recovery of red blood cells and platelets in irradiated mice, while increasing certain myeloid cell types, indicating a potential shift in hematopoietic stem cell differentiation.
  • The study concluded that Clod-Lip might hinder overall hematopoietic function while promoting myeloid differentiation through the influence of the bone marrow factor IL-1β.

Article Abstract

Purpose: Clodronate-liposomes (Clod-Lip) is an effective candidate drug for treating chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, autoimmune hemolytic anemia and immune thrombocytopenic purpura in mice experiments. But its role in hematopoietic recovery after acute myelosuppression is still unknown. We aim to explore the function and underlining mechanisms of Clod-Lip on hematopoietic reconstitution after sublethal dose irradiation in mice.

Materials And Methods: Mice at 8-10 weeks received a total-body sublethal dose γ-irradiation (TBI) and injected with Clod-Lip or PBS-Liposomes (PBS-Lip) every 4 days after TBI. The survival rate of each group was recorded. Flow cytometry was used to analyze changes in hematopoietic stem cells and their progenies in bone marrow. ELISA and RT-qPCR were used for the analysis of hematopoietic regulatory factors. Regarding IL-1β inhibition, 25 mg/kg diacerein or an equal volume of DMSO was intraperitoneally injected into mice every day after TBI.

Results: In sublethal dose-irradiated mice, Clod-Lip reduced the survival rate, the total number of bone marrow and hematopoietic stem cells, delayed peripheral blood recovery of red blood cells and platelets. However, it could increase the number of CMP, MEP and myeloid cells, which suggested that Clod-Lip could induce HSC to myeloid differentiation in vivo. We further verified that Clod-Lip may induce myeloid differentiation by bone marrow microenvironmental factor IL-1β.

Conclusions: In summary, this study suggested that Clod-Lip may aggravate inhibitor effect of hematopoietic function and promote myeloid differentiation in myelosuppression mice model.

Increasing evidence suggests that inhibition of receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase (RIPK) 1/RIPK3/mixed lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase (MLKL) necrosome has protective effects in vivo models of painful conditions seen in humans associated with inflammation and demyelination in the central nervous system. However, the contribution of RIPK1-driven necroptosis to inflammatory pain remains unknown. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of necrostatin (Nec) -1s, a selective RIPK1 inhibitor, on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory pain and related underlying mechanisms.

This study aims to elucidate the target and mechanism of baicalin, a clinically utilized drug, in the treatment of neuroinflammatory diseases. Neuroinflammation, characterized by the activation of glial cells and the release of various pro-inflammatory cytokines, plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of various diseases, including spinal cord injury (SCI). The remission of such diseases is significantly dependent on the improvement of inflammatory microenvironment.

Menin (MEN1) is a well-recognized powerful tumor promoter in acute leukemias (AL) with KMT2A rearrangements (KMT2Ar, also known as MLL) and mutant nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1m) acute myeloid leukemia (AML). MEN1 is essential for sustaining leukemic transformation due to its interaction with wild-type KMT2A and KMT2A fusion proteins, leading to the dysregulation of KMT2A target genes. MEN1 inhibitors (MIs), such as revumenib, ziftomenib, and other active small molecules, represent a promising new class of therapies currently under clinical development.

Myeloid cells play a crucial dual role in cancer progression and response to therapy, promoting tumor growth, enabling immune suppression, and contributing to metastatic spread. The ability of these cells to modulate the immune system has made them attractive targets for therapeutic strategies aimed at shifting their function from tumor promotion to fostering antitumor immunity. Therapeutic approaches targeting myeloid cells focus on modifying their numbers, genetics, metabolism, and interactions within the tumor microenvironment.
