Objective: To study the expression of Shh singaling related gene, including Shh, Ptch1, Smo and Gli1 in bone marrow CD34 cells of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia with myelodysplasia-related changes(AML-MRC), and to explore their clinical significance.
Methods: The count of CD34 cells in bone marrow was detected by flow cytometry in 53 patients with MDS and 30 patients with AML-MRC. Magnetic beads were used to separate CD34 cells. The expression of Shh, Ptch1,Smo and Gli1 on CD34 cells was detected by qRT-PCR, the effect of the 4 gene expression on prognosis of patients in MDS and AML-MRC group was compared, 25 patients with iron-deficiency anemia were used as controls.
Results: The expression levels of Shh, Smo and Gli1 of patients in MDS and AML-MRC group were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05), moreover increased with disease progression(P<0.05). The expression of Ptch1 was not statistically significantly different between 3 groups(P>0.05). In comparison of prognosis, the expression of Smo and Gli1 in the patients of relatively high risk groups and AML-MRC groups were significantly increased (P<0.05). The median overall survival time of patients in MDS and AML-MRC groups was 12(7.5,16.5) and 6(3.0,9.0) months (P=0.000) respectively. The median survival time of MDS and AML-MRC patients with high expression of Smo and Gli1 was significantly shorter than that of MDS and AML-MRC patients with low expression of Smo and Gli1(P<0.05).
Conclusion: Shh signaling pathway in the patients with MDS is activated, which is involved in the progress and prognosis of MDS.

Background: Benzene, a ubiquitous industrial chemical, is a well-established environmental toxin associated with hematological disorders such as myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which are characterized by impaired hematopoiesis and bone marrow failure. This study investigates the role of ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of cell death, in benzene-induced hematotoxicity, focusing on the repression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), a critical regulator of ferroptosis.
Materials And Methods: Male C57BL/6 mice were exposed to benzene at various doses over six weeks.

Background: Hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) and mononuclear cells (MNCs) are critical components of cell-based therapies, including bone marrow transplantation and regenerative treatments. Evaluation of the characteristics of these products during collection, storage, and transport is essential for maintaining cell viability and functionality. In this study, we evaluated the functional and molecular stability of samples collected for the evaluation of fresh HPC and MNC products.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Dark tea, a post-fermented tea, has traditionally been used to regulate liver disorders. As an ethnomedicinal plant, its efficacy in alleviating chronic liver disease has been demonstrated.
Aim Of The Study: This study explored the protective effect and potential mechanism of dark tea extract (DTE) against hepatic fibrosis.

Hematopoietic multipotent progenitors (MPPs) regulate blood cell production to meet the evolving demands of an organism. Adult human MPPs remain ill defined, whereas mouse MPPs are well characterized, with distinct immunophenotypes and lineage potencies. Using multi-omic single-cell analyses and functional assays, we identified distinct human MPPs within Lin-CD34+CD38dim/lo adult bone marrow with unique biomolecular and functional properties.

Daratumumab combined with bortezomib, thalidomide, and dexamethasone (Dara-VTD) is a highly effective induction therapy for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients eligible for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). However, its impact on stem cell mobilization requires a critical evaluation. This study examines the effects of Dara-VTD on stem cell mobilization and collection outcomes.
