MDS has long been associated with systemic inflammatory conditions and disordered inflammatory signaling is implicated in MDS pathogenesis. A rise in sterile inflammation occurs with ageing and the term \"inflammaging\" has been coined by to describe this phenomenon. This distinct form of sterile inflammation has an unknown role in in the pathogenesis of myeloid malignancies despite shared correlations with age and ageing-related diseases. More recent is a discovery that many cases of MDS arise from clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), an age associated, asymptomatic pre-disease state. The interrelationship between ageing, inflammation and clonal CHIP is complex and likely bidirectional with causality between inflammaging and CHIP potentially instrumental to understanding MDS pathogenesis. Here we review the concept of inflammaging and MDS pathogenesis and explore their causal relationship by introducing a novel framing mechanism of \"pre-clonal inflammaging\" and \"clonal inflammaging\". We aim to harmonize research on ageing, inflammation and MDS pathogenesis by contextualizing the current understanding of inflammaging and the ageing hematopoietic system with what is known about the etiology of MDS via its progression from CHIP.","PeriodicalId":12964,"journal":{"name":"Haematologica","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142489440","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}

Overall survival is limited in MPN-AP/BP with current treatment approaches, particularly in those patients that cannot receive an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HCT). In addition, long-term survival with allo-HCT is predominantly seen in chronic-phase MPNs which suggests that the ideal time for intervention may be before MPNs evolve to AP/BP. Over the course of this review we will focus on the risk factors for progression to MPN-AP/BP, identification of high-risk chronic-phase MPNs, potential early-intervention strategies, and considerations around the timing of allo-HCT. We will also summarize current survival outcomes in MPN-AP/BP, discuss the uncertainty around how to best gauge response to therapy, and outline clinical trial considerations for this patient population. Lastly, we will highlight future directions in the management of high-risk MPNs.","PeriodicalId":12964,"journal":{"name":"Haematologica","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142489657","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}

They are acquired clonal disorders of the hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) leading to hyperplasia of one or several myeloid lineages. MPN are caused by three main recurrent mutations, JAK2V617F and mutations in the calreticulin (CALR) and the thrombopoietin receptor (MPL) genes. Here, we review the general diagnosis, the complications, and the management of MPN. Second, we explain the physiopathology of the natural disease development and its regulation, which contributes to MPN heterogeneity. Thirdly, we describe the new paradigm of the MPN development highlighting the early origin of driver mutations decades before the onset of symptoms and the consequence on early detection of MPN cases in the general population for early diagnosis and better medical management. Finally, we present the interferon alpha (IFNα) therapy as a potential early disease-modifying drug after reporting its good hematological and molecular efficacies in ET, PV and early MF in clinical trials as well as its mechanism of action in pre-clinical studies. As a result, we may expect that, in the future, MPN patients will be diagnosed very early during the course of disease and that new selective therapies under development, such as IFNα, JAK2V617F inhibitors and CALRmut monoclonal antibodies, would be able to intercept the mutated clones.","PeriodicalId":12964,"journal":{"name":"Haematologica","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142489655","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}

Spliceosome mutations and epigenetic dysregulation underscore the intricate pathogenesis of MDS. The bone marrow microenvironment, stromal dysfunction, chronic inflammation, and immune dysregulation contribute to disease progression. This complex pathogenesis underscores the necessity for targeted therapies, offering a personalized medicine approach, particularly in lower-risk patients. The development of risk scores like the International Prognostic Scoring System (PISS), its revision IPSS-R, and the incorporation of molecular genetics in IPSS-M have refined the diagnostic and prognostic framework of MDS. These scoring systems facilitate tailored treatment strategies and better prognostication, especially for lower-risk MDS patients. The progression from IPSS to IPSS-R and now to IPSS-M epitomizes the shift towards personalized medicine in MDS management. In this review we discuss recent developments and positive phase III studies in lower-risk MDS.
