Caspase 8 deletion causes infection/inflammation-induced bone marrow failure and MDS-like disease in mice. (PubMed, Cell Death Dis)
Most importantly, mice transplanted with Casp8-/- BM cells developed MDS-like disease within 4 months of transplantation as demonstrated by anemia, thrombocytopenia and myelodysplasia. Our study suggests an essential role for a balance in Casp8, Ripk3-Mlkl and Ripk1-Tbk1 activities in the regulation of survival and self-renewal of HSPCs, the disruption of which induces inflammation and BM failure, resulting in MDS-like disease.

Transformation of Severe Aplastic Anemia into Donor Cell Leukemia after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: A Rare Case Report. (PubMed, Am J Case Rep)
The patient received 1 cycle of induction chemotherapy with azacytidine and achieved complete remission...CONCLUSIONS The mechanism of how normal donor hematopoietic cells transform to leukemia in the host remains unclear. Donor cell leukemia provides a unique opportunity to examine genetic variations in donors and hosts with regards to the progression to malignancy.

Treatment of Myelodysplastic Syndromes for Older Patients: Current State of Science, Challenges, and Opportunities. (PubMed, Curr Hematol Malig Rep)
Lower-risk MDS (LR-MDS) treatment ranges from observation to supportive measures and erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs), with emerging therapies like luspatercept showing promise...Emerging treatments, including oral HMAs and novel agents targeting FLT3, and IDH 1/2 mutations, show promise. Future research should refine treatment strategies for this elderly population focusing on quality-of-life improvement.

Donor KIR genotype based outcome prediction after allogeneic stem cell transplantation: no land in sight. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
Fifty-two percent of patients received anti-thymocyte-globulin-based graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis, 32% calcineurin-inhibitor-based prophylaxis, and 7% post-transplant cyclophosphamide-based prophylaxis...This exploratory finding has to be validated in an independent data set. In summary, the existing body of evidence is not (yet) consistent enough to recommend use of donor KIR genotype information for donor selection in routine clinical practice.

Efficacy and safety analysis of venetoclax combined with hypomethylating agents for the treatment of higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes in the real world (PubMed, Zhonghua Xue Ye Xue Za Zhi)
Multifactor analysis revealed that IPSS-R score and response to treatment were independent prognostic factors for OS; the presence of SETBP1 gene mutations was associated with a longer hospital stay (51.5 days vs 27 days, P=0.017) . There is clinical benefit of venetoclax in combination with hypomethylated agents in patients with higher-risk MDS, but adverse events such as severe hypocytopenia during treatment should be avoided.

What is new in acute myeloid leukemia classification? (PubMed, Blood Res)
AML cases defined by differentiation (WHO2022) and AML not otherwise specified (ICC) are categorized as lacking specific defining genetic abnormalities, WHO2022 labels this as a myeloid neoplasm post cytotoxic therapy (MN-pCT), described as an appendix after specific diagnosis. Similarly, in ICC, it can be described as "therapy-related", without a separate AML category.

Combination therapy with venetoclax and azacitidine for the treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes with DDX41 mutations. (PubMed, Hematology)
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) patients with DEAD-box helicase 41 (DDX41) mutations have been reported to be treated effectively with lenalidomide; however, there are no randomized studies to prove it. We retrospectively analyzed the genetic features and clinical characteristics of these patients. Our findings suggest that MDS patients with DDX41 mutation may benefit from the therapy, for six subjects received this regimen as initial therapy and five of the six subjects achieved complete remission.

Characteristic phenotypes of ADH5/ALDH2 deficiency during childhood. (PubMed, Eur J Med Genet)
Additional characteristic observations included pigmentary deposition in approximately half of the cases and skeletal difficulties in one-quarter. We propose that early diagnosis of patients who exhibit relatively mild phenotypes of skin or skeletal lesions is important for managing and improving the quality of life of patients with AMeD syndrome.

Characterization of CD34+ Cells from Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) Using a t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) Protocol. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Beyond this proof of principle study, the inclusion of additional markers will be helpful to refine the differentiation between normal HSPCs and leukemic cells, particularly in the context of minimal disease detection and antigen-targeted therapeutic interventions. Furthermore, we suggest a protocol for the assignment of new cell ensembles in quantitative terms, via a numerical value, the Pearson coefficient, based on a similarity comparison of the t-SNE pattern with a reference.

Accelerated DNA replication fork speed due to loss of R-loops in myelodysplastic syndromes with SF3B1 mutation. (PubMed, Nat Commun)
Importantly, histone deacetylase inhibition using vorinostat restores R-loop formation, slows down DNA replication forks and improves SF3B1-mutated erythroblast differentiation. In conclusion, loss of R-loops with associated DNA replication stress represents a hallmark of SF3B1-mutated MDS ineffective erythropoiesis, which could be used as a therapeutic target.

SOHO State of the Art Updates and Next Questions: An Update on Higher Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes. (PubMed, Clin Lymphoma Myeloma Leuk)
There has been import of the IDH1 inhibitor ivosidenib, initially approved for AML; the Bcl-2 inhibitor venetoclax and liposomal daunorubicin/cytarabine (CPX-351) are under active investigation as well. Unfortunately, effective treatment of TP53-mutated disease remains elusive, though preliminary evidence suggests improved outcomes with oral decitabine/cedazuridine over parenteral hypomethylating agent monotherapy. Investigational agents with novel mechanisms of action may help expand the repertoire of treatment options for HR-MDS and trials continue to offer a hopeful therapeutic avenue for suitable patients.

Construction and experimental validation of a novel ferroptosis-related gene signature for myelodysplastic syndromes. (PubMed, Immun Inflamm Dis)
Our study is the first to identify a novel model using FRGs to predict the risk of developing MDS. FRGs may be implicated in MDS pathogenesis through immune-related pathways. These findings highlight the intricate correlation between ferroptosis and MDS, offering insights that may aid in identifying potential therapeutic targets for this debilitating disorder.
