A Japanese male patient with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) was shown to have associated Tn syndrome; the first report of Tn syndrome with MDS. The Tn expression was demonstrated on erythrocytes, granulocytes, monocytes, platelets, and lymphocytes by flow cytometric analysis using a lectin and an antibody. Electrophoresis of erythrocyte membrane proteins revealed slower mobility of glycophorin B from the patient than that from normal individuals, suggesting a glycophorin B molecular abnormality.

Objective: To evaluate the short-term efficacy and safety of eculizumab for the treatment of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) in China.

Method: Data were retrospectively collected from patients with PNH who received at least 3 months of full-dose eculizumab. Changes in clinical and laboratory indicators after 1, 3, and 6 months of eculizumab therapy and at the end of follow-up were documented.

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a heterogeneous clonal disorder characterized by insufficient hematopoiesis, peripheral blood cytopenia and an increased risk for malignant transformation to acute myeloid leukemia. Several factors, such as age, sex and lifestyle, promote the development of MDS syndrome. Oxidative stress, along with its detrimental effects, cause hematological disorders; however, its role in the pathogenesis of MDS is unknown.

Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) represent a group of heterogeneous myeloid clonal diseases derived from aberrant hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) is an important regulator in gene expression through methyltransferase-dependent or methyltransferase-independent mechanisms. Herein, we found EZH2 inhibition led to MDS cell pyroptosis through RNA Helicase A (RHA) down-regulation induced overexpression of S100A9, a key regulator of inflammasome activation and pyroptosis.
