Serum and IgG from four children with transient erythroblastopenia of childhood (TEC) was tested to see what effect it would have on development of erythroid colonies from bone marrow mononuclear cells. Serum and IgG specimens obtained at the time of diagnosis uniformly suppressed erythroid colony development from CFU-E. Washed bone marrow mononuclear cells from a child with TEC failed to grow in the presence of his own serum, but grew normally in the presence of isologous serum. Serum specimens obtained from patients after recovery from TEC had no effect on erythroid colony development. The anemia of TEC appears to be due to transient immune suppression of erythroid colony development.

Background/objectives: Bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) has been described as an important biomechanic and lipotoxic factor with negative impacts on skeletal and hematopoietic system regeneration. BMAT undergoes metabolic and cellular adaptations with age and disease, being a source of potential biomarkers. However, there is no evidence on the lipid profile and cellularity at different skeletal locations in osteoarthritis patients undergoing primary hip arthroplasty.

TYMS Enhances Colorectal Cell Antioxidant Capacity Via the KEAP1-NRF2 Pathway to Resist Ferroptosis.

J Cancer

January 2025

The Colorectal and Anal Surgery Department of Shanxi Provincial People's Hospital, Shanxi Medical University, Taiyuan, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Thymidylate synthase (TYMS) plays a crucial role in DNA synthesis and is found to be overexpressed in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues, indicating a link to poor patient prognosis.
  • TYMS overexpression enhances CRC cell proliferation and increases cellular antioxidant capacity by downregulating KEAP1 and promoting NRF2 translocation into the nucleus, which upregulates antioxidant genes.
  • Inhibiting TYMS with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) shows potential for drug synergism with erastin, suggesting a strategy to overcome TYMS-mediated resistance to ferroptosis in CRC treatment.

Lyophilized powder of calf bone marrow hydrolysate liposomes improved renal anemia: In vitro and in vivo evaluation.

PLoS One

December 2024

Department of Research and Development, Jinan Perfect Biological Technology Co., LTD, Jinan, Shandong, China.

This study aimed to find whether oral administration of calf bone marrow hydrolysate liposomes (CBMHL) can improve renal anemia. Calf bone marrow was defatted, papain hydrolyzed, liposomalized and lyophilized. Its hematopoietic ability was proved by the colony formation experiment of umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cells in vitro.

Background: The challenge of expanding haematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) in vitro has limited their clinical application. Human hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells (hHFMSCs) can be reprogrammed to generate intermediate stem cells by transducing OCT4 (hHFMSCs) and pre-inducing with FLT3LG/SCF, and differentiated into erythrocytes. These intermediate cells exhibit gene expression patterns similar to pre-HSCs, making them promising for artificial haematopoiesis.

A number of studies have reported an association between phosphorus, red blood cell (RBC) production, and iron metabolism. However, it is difficult to distinguish whether the effect of phosphorus is direct or through the actions of FGF23, and it is not clear whether phosphorus is positively or negatively associated with RBC production. In the present study, we investigated the effects of a) increased phosphorus load and b) phosphorus deficiency on erythropoiesis and iron metabolism in association with FGF23.
