AI Article Synopsis

  • Sotatercept (ACE-011) is a fusion protein being studied for treating blood disorders by blocking certain growth factors to improve red blood cell production and bone cell development.
  • Its goal is to help manage anemia and slow down diseases like myeloma.
  • The research is focused on understanding how sotatercept works, its effects on the body, and any potential side effects, with ongoing studies looking into how the dosage affects its effectiveness.

Article Abstract

Sotatercept (ACE-011) is an activin receptor IIA-Fc (ActRIIA-Fc) fusion protein currently under investigation for its potential in the treatment of hematologic diseases. By impeding the activities of the overexpressed growth and differentiation factor 11 (GDF11), activin A, and other members of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily, commonly found in hematologic disorders, sotatercept aims to restore the normal functioning of red blood cell maturation and osteoblast differentiation. This action is anticipated to enhance anemia management and hinder the progression of myeloma. Simultaneously, comprehensive research is ongoing to investigate sotatercept's pharmacokinetics and potential adverse reactions, thus laying a robust foundation for its prospective clinical use. In this review, we provide a detailed overview of TGF-β pathways in physiological and hematologic disorder contexts, outline the potential mechanism of sotatercept, and delve into its pharmacokinetics and clinical research advancements in various hematologic diseases. A particular emphasis is given to the relationship between sotatercept dosage and its efficacy or associated adverse reactions.

Introduction: Hematologic malignancies, originating from uncontrolled growth of hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues, constitute 6.5% of all cancers worldwide. Various risk factors including genetic disorders and single nucleotide polymorphisms play a role in the pathogenesis of hematologic malignancies.

Despite the study of BCR::ABL1-positive and -negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) providing seminal insights into cancer biology, tumor evolution and precision oncology over the past half century, significant challenges remain. MPNs are clonal hematopoietic stem cell-derived neoplasms with heterogenous clinical phenotypes and a clonal architecture which impacts the often-complex underlying genetics and microenvironment. The major driving molecular abnormalities have been well characterized, but debate on their role as disease-initiating molecular lesions continues.

State Key Laboratory of Pathogen and Biosecurity, Academy of Military Medical Science, Beijing, China.

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging tick-borne disease with a high fatality rate. The clinical diagnosis criteria mainly rely on white blood cell (WBC) and platelet (PLT), which, however, are of limited usage in identifying atypical SFTS. A multicenter study was performed in two hospitals from 2011 to 2023.

Department of Children's Hematology and Oncology, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou 450052, China.

Objectives: To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of acute erythroleukemia (AEL) in children.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data, treatment, and prognosis of 8 children with AEL treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2013 to December 2023.

Results: Among the 7 patients with complete bone marrow morphological analysis, 4 exhibited trilineage dysplasia, with a 100% incidence of erythroid dysplasia (7/7), a 71% incidence of myeloid dysplasia (5/7), and a 57% incidence of megakaryocytic dysplasia (4/7).

Objectives: To study the significance of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25-(OH)D] level in the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of children with immunoglobulin A vasculitis nephritis (IgAVN).

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of children with IgAVN who underwent renal biopsy at Suzhou Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University and Jinling Hospital of the Medical School of Nanjing University from June 2015 to June 2020. Based on serum 25-(OH)D level, the patients were divided into a normal group and a lower group.
