Clonal hematopoiesis-derived therapy-related myeloid neoplasms after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant for lymphoid and non-lymphoid disorders.

Therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (tMN) are complications of cytotoxic therapies. Risk of tMN is high in recipients of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT). Acquisition of genomic mutations represents a key pathogenic driver but the origins, timing and dynamics, particularly in the context of preexisting or emergent clonal hematopoiesis (CH), have not been sufficiently clarified.

Comprehensive Transcriptomic Analysis of VISTA in Acute Myeloid Leukemia: Insights into Its Prognostic Value.

The V-domain Ig suppressor of T-cell activation (VISTA) has been recognized as a critical negative regulator of antitumor immune response and is gaining growing interest as a potential pharmacological target in immunotherapy. This molecule is highly expressed in hematopoietic stem cells and myeloid compartment, and it has been found upmodulated in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, VISTA-associated immune features are relatively unexplored in myeloid malignancies.
