Even though pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is associated with fibrotic stroma, the molecular pathways regulating formation of cancer fibroblasts (CAFs) are not well elucidated. An epigenomic analysis patient-derived and de-novo generated CAFs demonstrated widespread loss cytosine methylation that was overexpression various inflammatory transcripts including CXCR4. Co-culture neoplastic cells led to increased invasiveness abrogated by inhibition Metabolite tracing revealed lactate...
Abstract The bone marrow microenvironment influences malignant hematopoiesis, but how it promotes leukemogenesis has not been elucidated. In addition, the role of stroma in regulating clinical responses to DNA methyltransferase inhibitors (DNMTi) is also poorly understood. this study, we conducted a methylome analysis marrow–derived stromal cells from myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients and observed widespread aberrant cytosine hypermethylation occurring preferentially outside CpG...
Abstract Purpose: Thrombocytopenia is a serious complication of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) associated with an increased bleeding risk and worse prognosis. Eltrombopag (ELT), thrombopoietin receptor agonist, can increase platelet counts reverse anti-megakaryopoietic effects lenalidomide (LEN) in preclinical studies. We hypothesized ELT would reduce the incidence thrombocytopenia MDS. Patients Methods: conducted Phase II multicenter trial LEN adult patients low- or intermediate-1–risk MDS...
