BACKGROUND:The involvement of CCL2/CCR2 in leukemic cell infiltration into the skin, specifically in leukemia cutis (LC), remains largely unexplored. Oxidative stress has been demonstrated to induce the upregulation of CCL2 expression, while the antioxidant properties of azelaic acid (AZA) have been proven to exert anti-acute myeloid leukemia (AML) effects. AIMS:To investigate the role of CCL2/CCR2 in the pathogenesis of leukemia cutis, and to evaluate whether azelaic acid (AZA) can inhibit the infiltration of leukemic cells into the skin and its possible mechanism. METHODS:The migratory capacity of leukemic cells toward skin tissue was evaluated in vitro to determine the effects of CCL2/CCR2 and its modulation by AZA treatment. Concurrently, the regulatory effects of AZA on the NF-κB/MAPK signaling pathway in keratinocytes were investigated. In vivo studies were conducted using a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) AML mouse model, wherein AZA was administered via tail vein injection. A quantitative assessment of leukemic cell infiltration in skin tissues was performed to compare the therapeutic efficacy of AZA treatment versus untreated controls. RESULTS:AZA treatment significantly reduced CCL2 secretion in keratinocytes and decreased CCR2 expression in AML cells, consequently attenuating the migratory capacity of AML cells toward keratinocytes. Mechanistically, AZA downregulated the NF-κB/MAPK signaling pathway in keratinocytes. In vivo studies using the PDX-AML mouse model demonstrated that AZA administration markedly reduced leukemic cell infiltration in skin tissues compared to untreated controls. CONCLUSIONS:CCL2/CCR2 plays an important role in the pathogenesis of LC. AZA effectively inhibits leukemic cell infiltration into the skin by downregulating CCL2 production through negative regulation of the NF-κB/MAPK signaling pathway in keratinocytes.
The role of inflammation in regulating acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and stressed hematopoiesis is significant, although the molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we found that mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) had dysregulated expression of the inflammatory cytokine S100A8 in AML. Upregulating S100A8 in MSCs increased the proliferation of AML cells in vitro. In contrast, removing S100A8 from MSCs in the murine MLL-AF9 AML model resulted in longer survival and less infiltration of leukemia cells. S100A8 binds to the Toll-like receptor 4 on leukemia cells, activating the PI3K/Akt pathway. In addition, removing S100A8 from MSCs caused a temporary decline in hematopoietic stem cell (HSCs) numbers, but facilitated long-term hematopoietic recovery under stress. Furthermore, S100A8 inhibited MSC differentiation into osteoblasts and reduced the expression of osteopontin, which is required for supporting HSCs. Our findings highlight the importance of niche inflammation in promoting AML development while impeding hematopoietic regeneration.
The role of microenvironmental inflammation in the regulation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and stressed hematopoiesis is significant, though the molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we found that MSCs in a leukemic microenvironment had dysregulated expression of the inflammatory cytokine S100A8. Upregulating S100A8 in MSCs increased the proliferation and chemoresistance of AML cells in vitro. In contrast, removing S100A8 from MSCs in the murine MLL-AF9 AML model resulted in longer survival and less infiltration of leukemia cells and leukemic stem cells (LSCs). S100A8 binds to the TLR4 receptor on leukemia cells, which activates the PI3K/Akt pathway. In addition, removing S100A8 from MSCs causes a temporary increase in their quantity, followed by a decline in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in mice exposed to stressful environments. Furthermore, the absence of S100A8 alters the properties of MSCs, impairing their ability to differentiate into osteoblasts and decreasing the expression of osteopontin, which is required to support HSCs. Our findings highlight the importance of MSC-derived S100A8 in promoting the maintenance of LSCs while impeding the maintenance of HSCs, providing new insights into the potential for the management of AML and hematopoietic regeneration.
Infectious diseases caused by viruses are generally self-limited diseases with good prognoses, but their clinical manifestations and laboratory test results have a wide range of diversity. However, current clinical examination methods mainly focus on tumor diseases, which may lead to misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis of infectious diseases. Recognizing that the elevation of reactive lymphocytes is a significant indicator for diagnosing infectious diseases and considering the clinical necessity of integrating different cell proportion changes as a foundation for treatment, we have developed an effective and lightweight multi-classification model for diagnosing infectious diseases. Due to the diversity and difficulty of distinguishing reactive lymphocytes, we combine the efficiency of convolutional neural networks to model local features with the capability of the transformer to dynamically model remote interactions, which can extract complex features of cells while performing efficient processing operations. In addition, to further enhance the model’s recognition capabilities, we employ knowledge distillation techniques for data augmentation. According to our results, our model can identify six types of cell lines including reactive lymphocytes in peripheral blood with an average accuracy of 93.55% and can process more than 1300 cells/s per second, which greatly reduces labor costs. Providing early diagnosis of diseases and interventions for patients has significant practical implications. Artificial intelligence-based methods for morphometry of peripheral blood cells are further developed in this study, with potential clinical applications.

Objective: To analyze the clinical features of children with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2) infection and to explore the risk factors for severe cases. Methods: Children with positive SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid test who were admitted to the Department of Pediatrics,East Hospital of Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from December 2022 to January 2023 were consecutively enrolled. Detailed clinical and laboratory data were collected. Results: A total of 129children with SARS-CoV-2 infection were enrolled, with a male/female ratio of 91/38(χ~2=21. 775,P<0. 001) and an median age of 1. 58(0. 62,4. 37) years. There were 50 mild cases(38. 8%), 16common cases(12. 4%), and 63 severe cases(48. 8%). Compared with the non-severe group(mild +common), the severe group was older(P=0. 017). In terms of clinical symptoms, the severe group had a higher incidence of convulsion(P<0. 001) and dyspnea(P=0. 009), and a lower incidence of cough(P=0. 004), runny nose(P=0. 018) and vomiting(P=0. 020), while there was no significant difference in fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, hoarseness, and rash between the two groups(P>0. 05). In terms of laboratory indicators, the incidence of ALT elevation was lower(P<0. 001), the incidence of lymphopenia was higher(P=0. 041), the lymphocyte count was lower(P=0. 017), and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR) was higher(P=0. 001). There were no significant differences in WBC count, CRP, PCT,and myocardial enzymes between the two groups(P>0. 05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that lymphopenia(OR=2. 546, 95%CI: 1. 064-6. 901) was associated with severe disease. receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC) analysis showed that lymphocyte count could be used to predict severe disease, with an area under curve(AUC) of 0. 604, a sensitivity of 68. 3%, and a specificity of 59. 1%. Conclusion: Most of the hospitalized children with SARS-CoV-2 infection are infants and young children, and there are more boys than girls. Patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection are older, and have a higher incidence of lymphopenia and an increased NLR than those with non-severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. Lymphopenia is an independent risk factor for severe disease and can be used to predict severe disease.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy of plasma cell origin. Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is a common form of heart damage caused by MM and is associated with a poor prognosis. This study was a prospective cohort study and was aimed at evaluating the clinical predictive value of extracellular volume fraction (ECV) based on cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) T1 mapping for cardiac amyloidosis and cardiac dysfunction in MM patients. Fifty-one newly diagnosed MM patients in Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University were enrolled in the study. A total of 19 patients (19/51; 37.25%) developed CA. The basal ECV of CA group was significantly higher than that of the non-CA group (p < 0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that basal ECV (OR = 1.551, 95% CI 1.084-2.219, p < 0.05) and LDH1 level (OR = 1.150, 95% CI 1.010-1.310, p < 0.05) were two independent risk factors for CA. Further study demonstrated that basal ECV in the heart failure group was significantly higher than that of the nonheart failure group (p < 0.01). Notably, ROC curve showed that basal ECV had a good predictive value for CA and heart failure, with AUC of 0.911 and 0.893 (all p < 0.01), and the best cutoff values of 38.35 and 37.45, respectively. Taken together, basal ECV is a good predictor of CA and heart failure for MM patients.
Background Aplastic anemia (AA), megaloblastic anemia (MA), and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) were common anemic diseases. Sometimes it was difficult to distinguish patients with these diseases. Methods In this article, we proposed one measurement method for the area of red blood cells (RBCs) from microscopic images based on image processing technology and analyzed the differences of the area in 25 patients with AA, 64 patients with MA, and 68 patients with MDS. Results The area of RBCs was 44.19 ± 3.88, 42.09 ± 5.35, 52.87 ± 7.68, and 45.75 ± 8.07 μm 2 in normal subjects, patients with AA, MA, and MDS, respectively. The coefficients of variation were 8.78%, 10.05%, 14.53%, and 14.00%, respectively, in these groups. The area of RBCs in patients with MA was significantly higher than normal subjects ( p < 0.001). Compared with patients with AA and MDS, the area of RBCs in patients with MA was also significantly higher ( p < 0.001). The results of correlation analysis between the area of RBCs and mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), MCH concentration (MCHC), and red cell distribution width showed no significant correlations ( p > 0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) results of the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves of RBCs area were 0.421, 0.580, and 0.850, respectively, in patients with AA ( p = 0.337), MDS ( p = 0.237), and MA ( p < 0.001). Conclusion Identifying the area of RBCs in peripheral blood smears based on the image processing technology could achieve rapid and efficient diagnostic support for patients with MDS and MA, especially for patients with MA and in combination with MCV. However, a larger sample study is needed to find the cutoff area values.

1. Outpatient physicians are the frontline of the defence. For patients with no or mild symptoms, making an appointment for bone marrow and biopsy examinations after the end of the pandemic is recommended. For patients who are urgently require the above examinations, and who are without any other risk factors (recent contact history (within 14 days) of COVID-19/fever, older age, history of chronic diseases, etc.) [1], strict evaluation is required. COVID-19 screening including chest computed tomography (CT) scan [2], blood routine test, and COVID-19 nucleic acid and antibody detection test should be arranged by outpatient physicians. Only patients excluded from COVID-19 infection should make a further appointment for bone marrow examinations. 2. Body temperature measurement should be performed before patients’ access to the haematology laboratory. Any patients with body temperature above 37.3°C [3] should be escorted to the fever clinic for COVID-19 investigation. In addition to the conventional informed consent form for bone marrow aspiration and biopsy operation, a specialized consent form designed for the COVID-19 pandemic should also be signed by patients, in order to exclude relevant risk factors and tell them “things to note”. 3. Bone marrow aspiration can exclusively be performed after physicians’ double-check for the results from COVID-19 screening (results within 3 days) and informed consent forms have been signed.
Purpose: In hematopoietic malignancies, bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) are believed to promote tumor development through cellular and molecular abnormalities. However, there are several discrepancies among BMSCs in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML-MSCs) and healthy individuals (HD-MSCs) . Our aim was to analyze the differences in gene and protein levels between AML-MSCs and HD-MSCs, and to explore the role of AML-MSCs in the tumor microenvironment. Methods: We obtained MSCs from leukemia patients and healthy individuals and identified them by flow cytometry and differentiation. Transcriptome sequencing was performed on MSCs from leukemia patients and healthy individuals and label-free proteomics analysis was conducted on cultured supernatants of MSCs. Finally, we analyzed the results for bioinformatics analysis. Results: MSCs were preliminarily isolated and identified from AML patients and healthy controls. Through bioinformatics analysis, AML-MSCs and HD-MSCs showed great differences in Gene expression profiles and protein expression profiles of MSCs culture supernatants. Notably, inhibition of PI3K-Akt signal pathway can attenuate chemotherapy resistance of AML cells induced by MSC to AraC. Conclusions : Together, our findings suggest that Gene expression profiles and secreted protein levels of MSCs culture supernatants differed significantly between AML-MSCs and HD-MSCs, which should greatly facilitate the understanding of the role of MSCs in driving the development of acute myeloid leukemia and exploring new therapeutic strategies in future.
