Exploring novel targets is urgent and necessary to improve the clinical outcome of relapsed and refractory (RR) AML patients. Through clinical specimens, animal models and cell-level studies, we explored the specific mechanism of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A synthase 1 (HMGCS1) in AML and the mechanism of targeting HMGCS1 to attenuate cell proliferation, increase chemotherapy sensitivity and improve the occurrence and development of AML. Here, we reveal that HMGCS1 is overexpressed in RR patients and negatively related to overall survival (OS). Knocking out HMGCS1 in AML cells attenuated cell proliferation and increased chemotherapy sensitivity, while stable overexpression of HMGCS1 had the opposite effects. Mechanistically, we identified that knockout of HMGCS1 suppressed mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway activity, while overexpression of HMGCS1 could remarkably enhance the pathway. U0126, a MEK1 inhibitor, offset the effects of HMGCS1 overexpression, indicating that HMGCS1 promotes RR AML through the MAPK pathway. Further, we verified that hymeglusin, a specific inhibitor of HMGCS1, decreases cell growth both in AML cell lines and primary bone marrow cells of AML patients. Furthermore, combination of hymeglusin and the common chemotherapeutic drug cytarabine and adriamycin (ADR) had synergistic toxic effects on AML cells. Our study demonstrates the important role of HMGCS1 in AML, and targeting this protein is promising for the treatment of RR AML.","PeriodicalId":67343,"journal":{"name":"血液科学(英文)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11239175/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141592251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Single-cell colony assay and single-cell transplantation showed that MgPs, unlike platelet-biased HSCs, had little repopulating potential in vivo, but formed larger megakaryocyte colonies in vitro (on average 8 megakaryocytes per colony) than did previously reported MkPs. Single-cell RNA sequencing supported that HSCs give rise to MkPs through MgPs along a Mk differentiation pathway. Single-cell reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis showed that MgPs expressed Mk-related genes, but were transcriptionally heterogenous. Clonal culture of HSCs suggested that MgPs are not direct progeny of HSCs. We propose a differentiation model in which HSCs give rise to MgPs which then give rise to MkPs, supporting a classic model in which Mk-lineage commitment takes place at a late stage of differentiation.","PeriodicalId":67343,"journal":{"name":"血液科学(英文)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11078525/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140890630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was shown that there was a significant relationship between hospitalization days (ward or intensive care unit) and d-dimer levels. It was observed that d-dimer, fibrinogen elevation was significantly associated with prognosis by increasing mortality, and that platelet and aPTT values were also associated with prognosis and were lower in the mortality group.

Additionally, the patients with renal involvement had more PD-1+ and TIGIT+ T cells than the patients without, and PD-1+CD3+%, PD-1+CD4+%, PD-1+Treg% were positively correlated with 24-hour proteinuria levels. Furthermore, the AL amyloidosis patients had higher counts of PD-1+ Treg in PB than multiple myeloma (MM) patients, while the MM patients had higher counts of TIGIT+ T cells than AL amyloidosis patients. Collectively, this is the first report of elevated proportions of VISTA+ and PD-1+ T cells in PB of AL amyloidosis patients, indicating an immunosuppressive milieu, and the increased PD-1+ and TIGIT+ T cells were associated with renal damage. VISTA, PD-1, and TIGIT may be potential targets for reversing T-cell exhaustion in AL amyloidosis.","PeriodicalId":67343,"journal":{"name":"血液科学(英文)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10789457/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139473109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
