However, there are no long-term studies on the safety and efficacy of transplanting peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs) via acupoints to treat PAD. We first reviewed the short-term and long-term clinical results of PAD patients treated with PBMNCs through intramuscular non-acupoint transplantation (control group; n = 45) or intramuscular acupoint transplantation (acupoint group; n = 45) at a single university hospital general medical center between December 2002 and September 2022. Pain intensity (assessed with the verbal rating scale [VRS] score) in the acupoint group was considerably lower than that in the control group at month 1 (mean ± standard deviation [SD]: 1.29 ± 0.96 vs 1.76 ± 0.82; <i>P</i> = 0.016) and month 3 (mean ± SD: 1.27 ± 0.90 vs 1.61 ± 0.86; <i>P</i> = 0.042). We observed significant improvement of VRS score (<i>P</i> < .001 for all) and ankle-brachial index (ABI; <i>P</i> < .001 for all) from baseline in both groups at months 1, 3, 6, 12, 36, and 60. The 10-year cumulative rate of major amputation-free survival (MAFS) was higher in the acupoint group as compared to the control group (81.9%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 71.3%-94.1% vs 78.5%, 95% CI: 66.7%-92.3%; <i>P</i> = 0.768). Compared with the routine injection method, intramuscular transplantation of PBMNCs via selected acupoints could significantly decrease the short-term pain intensity in patients with PAD, which remains an option for consideration.</p>","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/PMC10789451/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139473104","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}

Compared with mice, we have limited knowledge of the heterogeneity of human HSCs. Fortunately, non-human primates (NHPs) have become the best animal models for studying human HSCs. Here, we employed a public dataset derived from NHP autologous bone marrow transplantation, and focused on a total of 820 HSC clones with reconstitution capacity of all available five lineages (granulocyte, monocyte, B cell, T cell, and natural killer cell) at two time points (11/12 and/or 42/43 months). Intriguingly, unsupervised clustering on these clones revealed six HSC subtypes, including a lymphoid/myeloid balanced (LM-balanced) subtype and five single-lineage-biased subtypes. We also observed that the subtypes of these HSC clones might change over time, and a given subtype could transition into any one of the other five subtypes, albeit with a certain degree of selectivity. Particularly, each of the six subtypes was more likely to turn into lymphoid-biased rather than myeloid-biased ones. Additionally, our five-lineage classification method exhibited strong correlation with traditional lymphoid/myeloid bias classification method. Specifically, our granulocyte- and monocyte-biased subtypes were predominantly attributed to α-HSCs, while LM-balanced, B cell-biased, and T cell-biased subtypes were primarily associated with β-HSCs. The γ-HSCs were composed of a small subset of B cell-biased and T cell-biased subtypes. In summary, our five-lineage classification identifies more finely tuned HSC subtypes based on lineage output bias. These findings enrich our understanding of HSC heterogeneity in NHPs and provide important insights for human research.</p>","PeriodicalId":67343,"journal":{"name":"血液科学(英文)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10781131/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139426188","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}

As such, there are still many challenges to be addressed. One promising approach is single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), which can elucidate the transcriptome heterogeneity of individual cells and reveal previously unknown cell types or states in complex tissues. In this review, we outlined the experimental workflow of scRNA-seq in MM, listed some commonly used scRNA-seq platforms and analytical tools. In addition, with the advent of scRNA-seq, many studies have made new progress in the key molecular mechanisms during MM clonal evolution, cell interactions and molecular regulation in the microenvironment, and drug resistance mechanisms in target therapy.
