However, the connection between HSC stemness/activities and organismal lifespan, especially under stress, remains incompletely understood. We previously revealed a unique mutation at the SUMOylation site of SIRT3 (lysine 223 to arginine, K223R) that could enhance its deacetylase activity. Here, using Sirt3-K223R transgenic mice, we demonstrate that SIRT3 deSUMOylation promotes HSC self-renewal, inhibits myeloid differentiation, and delays HSC senescence under multiple stress conditions. Notably, these effects are associated with extended lifespan in mice, though the underlying link between preserved HSC function and lifespan extension needs further investigation. Mechanistically, SIRT3 regulates mitochondrial metabolic activity and promotes the deacetylation of H3K9 and H3K27. This epigenetic modification attenuates the RIG-I signaling pathway by downregulating DHX58 and IRF7, sustaining HSC activities. Our study uncovers a unique SIRT3-DHX58-IRF7 axis that sustains HSC activities to delay organismal aging under stress, providing insights into potential anti-aging strategies targeting hematopoietic homeostasis.</p>","PeriodicalId":12964,"journal":{"name":"Haematologica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147770036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted a prospective cohort study of three gold standard approaches: the cumulative deficit index, phenotypic frailty, and four-meter gait speed. From February 2015 to January 2025, a research assistant approached patients aged ≥ 73 years attending new consultations for leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. A total of 1011 patients underwent frailty assessment with a median age of 78 years (IQR, 76-82 years) and a median follow-up among survivors of 43 months (IQR, 18-74 months). For example, when classified by phenotypic frailty, 11% were frail, 59% pre-frail, and 30% robust; using this tool, frail patients lived 24 months compared to 92 months among the robust. While frailty classification varied across measures, all three tools were associated with mortality in a dose-dependent manner, independent of age and sex (cumulative deficit index: ref=robust, pre-frail HR 1.86 [95% CI 1.54, 2.26]; frail HR 2.42 [1.85, 3.17]; phenotypic frailty: ref=robust; pre-frail HR 1.88 [1.50, 2.37], frail HR 3.01, [2.22, 4.07]); gait speed: ref=≥ 0.8 m/s; 0.6 to < 0.8 m/s HR 1.44 [1.18, 1.76], < 0.6 m/s HR 2.06 [1.61, 2.63]). Associations were similar when analyzed by disease clinic; cumulative deficit further stratified risk in patients assessed by phenotypic frailty and gait speed. Our findings provide a new benchmark on frailty and its impact on survival in older adults with blood cancers, with care delivery implications for operationalization in clinical practice and research.","PeriodicalId":12964,"journal":{"name":"Haematologica","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147733459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To identify druggable vulnerabilities that enhance PI efficacy, we performed a small-molecule chemical screen in the presence of carfilzomib (CFZ). We identified bedaquiline (BDQ), an FDAapproved antimycobacterial agent, as a potent synergistic partner. BDQ and its fumarate salt (BDQ-F) significantly amplified CFZ-induced cytotoxicity in PI-sensitive and PI-resistant MM cells, in AL amyloidosis and other B-cell malignancies, with minimal toxicity toward normal cells. Mechanistic studies confirmed that BDQ specifically targets the ATP5F1C subunit of mitochondrial ATP synthase. BDQ-CFZ combination triggered extensive apoptosis, exacerbating proteotoxic stress and proteasome-associated pathways. BDQ specifically enhanced CFZ's inhibition of the proteasome's chymotrypsin-like activity. Importantly, BDQ synergized with multiple proteasome and ubiquitin-activating enzyme inhibitors, but not with other standard MM agents, underscoring its selective interaction with the UPS pathway. BDQ-CFZ cotreatment markedly reduced MM cell viability and tumor burden in patient-derived cells and zebrafish xenograft models.
