In contrast to mutations associated with clonal hematopoiesis (such as Tet2 deletion), the leukemogenic KrasG12D mutation dramatically accelerated HSC contribution to all hematopoietic lineages. The acceleration was mediated by KrasG12D-expressing multipotent progenitors (MPP) that lacked self-renewal but showed increased proliferation and aberrant transcriptome. The deletion of osteopontin, a secreted negative regulator of stem/progenitor cells, delayed the early expansion of mutant progenitors. KrasG12D-carrying cells showed increased CXCR4-driven motility in the bone marrow, and the blockade of CXCR4 reduced the expansion of MPP in vivo. Finally, therapeutic blockade of KRASG12D spared mutant HSC but reduced the expansion of mutant MPP and their mature progeny. Thus, transforming mutations facilitate their own spread from stem cells by reprogramming MPP, creating a preleukemic state via a two-component stem/progenitor circuit.</p>","PeriodicalId":15760,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experimental Medicine","volume":"222 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11899982/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143604941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our study reveals that MYO1F is selectively downregulated in neutrophils within both human cancers and murine tumor models, showing a negative correlation with ICB response. Mechanistically, MYO1F normally inhibits neutrophil immunosuppression and proliferation by restraining STAT3 activity. However, during tumorigenesis, tumor-derived TGF-β1 disrupts the binding of SPI1 to intron 8 of Myo1f via DNA methylation, thereby suppressing Myo1f transcription. The resultant decrease in MYO1F reprograms neutrophils into an immunosuppressive state through the STAT3-dependent signaling pathways. This immunosuppressive state further contributes to tumor microenvironment (TME) remodeling by inducing CTL exhaustion.
