Leukemias arise from recurrent clonal mutations in hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) that cause profound changes in the bone marrow microenvironment (BMM) favoring leukemic stem cell (LSC) growth over normal HSPCs. Understanding the cross talk between preleukemic mutated HSPCs and the BMM is critical to develop novel therapeutic strategies to prevent leukemogenesis. We hypothesize that preleukemic-LSCs (pLSCs) induce BMM changes critical for leukemogenesis. Using our AML-murine model, we performed single-cell RNA-sequencing of preleukemic BMM (pBMM) cells. We found normal HSC (nHSC)-regulating LepR+ mesenchymal stem cells, and endothelial cells were decreased, along with increases in CD55+ fibroblasts and pericytes. Preleukemic CD55+ fibroblasts had higher proliferation rates and decreased collagen expression, suggesting extracellular matrix remodeling during leukemogenesis. Importantly, co-culture assays found preleukemic CD55+ fibroblasts expanded pLSCs significantly over nHSCs. In conclusion, we have identified a distinct pBMM and a novel CD55+ fibroblast population that is expanded in pBMM that promote fitness of pLSCs over nHSCs.

SRD5A3-CDG is a congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG) resulting from pathogenic variants in SRD5A3 and follows an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. The enzyme encoded by SRD5A3, polyprenal reductase, plays a crucial role in synthesizing lipid precursors essential for N-linked glycosylation. Despite insights from functional studies into its enzymatic function, there remains a gap in understanding global changes in patient cells.

Pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation (PEMF) is gaining more attention as a non-invasive arthritis treatment. In our study, immortalized synovial fibroblasts (K4IM) derived from a non-arthritic donor were exposed to MAGCELL ARTHRO, a PEMF device, with 105 mT intensity, 8 Hz frequency, and 2 × 2.5 min sessions conducted thrice with a 1 h interval, to understand the underlying mechanism in regard to the complement system.

Fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) are a subpopulation of stromal cells modulating the immune environments in health and disease. We have previously shown that activation of TLR9 signaling in FRC in fat-associated lymphoid clusters (FALC) regulate peritoneal immunity via suppressing immune cell recruitment and peritoneal resident macrophage (PRM) retention. However, FRCs are heterogeneous across tissues and organs.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent degenerative joint disorder characterized by cartilage erosion, structural changes, and inflammation. Synovial fibroblasts play a crucial role in OA pathophysiology, with abnormal fibroblastic cells contributing significantly to joint pathology. Fibrocytes, expressing markers of both hematopoietic and stromal cells, are implicated in inflammation and fibrosis, yet their marker and role in OA remain unclear.
