AI Article Synopsis

  • The c-MPL-TPO axis plays a key role in hematopoiesis by activating important signaling pathways like JAK/STAT, MAPK/ERK, and PIK3/AKT.
  • This research emphasizes the effects of c-MPL mutations on blood cell formation and highlights c-MPL's involvement in diseases beyond blood disorders, such as Unstable Angina and DNA damage repair.
  • The study suggests the potential of c-MPL as a therapeutic target and biomarker for cancer-related issues, advocating for further exploration of its isoforms for future gene-therapy applications.

Article Abstract

The c-MPL-TPO axis regulates hematopoiesis by activating various signalling cascades, including JAK/STAT, MAPK/ERK, and PIK3/AKT. Here, we have summarized how TPO is regulated by c-MPL and, how mutations in the c-MPL regulate hematopoiesis. We also focus on its non-hematological regulatory role in diseases like Unstable Angina and pathways like DNA damage repair, skeletal homeostasis, & apoptotic regulation of neurons/HSCs at the embryonic state. We discuss the therapeutic efficiency of c-MPL and, its potential to be developed as a bio-marker for detecting metastasis and development of chemo-resistance in various cancers, justifying the multifaceted nature of c-MPL. We have also highlighted the importance of c-MPL isoforms and their stoichiometry in controlling the HSC quiescent and proliferative state. The regulation of the ratio of different isoforms through gene-therapy can open future therapeutic avenues. A systematic understanding of c-MPL-isoforms would undoubtedly take one step closer to facilitating c-MPL from basic-research towards translational medicine.

Acquired amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (AATP) is a rare disorder in which severely low platelet levels occur due to reduced or complete absence of megakaryocytes in the bone marrow. The pathophysiology of this disease is not fully understood, although anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies (anti-TPO) binding to cellular-myeloproliferative leukemia (c-mpl) receptors is a proposed mechanism. Currently, no standard published guideline for treatment exists, but immunosuppressive therapies have been used based on the proposed mechanism and associated conditions.

Background: Vascularization is an essential event for both embryonic organ development and tissue repair in adults. During mouse tooth development, endothelial cells migrate into dental papilla during the cap stage, and form blood vessels through angiogenesis. Megakaryocytes and/or platelets, as other hematopoietic cells, express angiogenic molecules and can promote angiogenesis in adult tissues.
