Clonal hematopoiesis resulting from the enhanced fitness of mutant hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) associates with both favorable and unfavorable health outcomes related to types mature blood produced, but how this lineage output is regulated unclear. Using a mouse model clonal hematopoiesis-associated mutation, DNMT3AR882/+ (Dnmt3aR878H/+), we found that aging-induced TNFα signaling promoted selective advantage HSCs stimulated production B lymphoid cells. The genetic loss receptor TNFR1...

Abstract Aging is a process of systemic deterioration and the most significant risk factor for cancers. Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) commonly occurs with aging links to higher mortality, leukemia risk, cardiovascular diseases. Age-related CH involves abnormal clonal expansion hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) bearing somatic mutations in genes frequently mutated leukemia, including encoding epigenetic regulators, e.g., DNA demethylase TET2. While such are known alter HSC epigenome, mechanisms...

Age-associated clonal hematopoiesis (CH) occurs due to somatic mutations accrued in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that confer a selective growth advantage the context of aging. The mechanisms by which CH-mutant HSCs gain this with aging are not comprehensively understood. Using unbiased transcriptomic approaches, we identified Oncostatin M (OSM) signaling as candidate contributor age-related Dnmt3a-mutant CH. We found from young adult mice (3-6 months old) subjected acute OSM stimulation...

The mechanisms by which CH-mutant HSCs gain this with aging are not comprehensively understood. Using unbiased transcriptomic approaches, we identify Oncostatin M (OSM) signaling as candidate contributor aging-driven Dnmt3a -mutant CH.

Abstract The MLL-AF9 fusion protein occurring as a result of t(9;11) translocation gives rise to pediatric and adult acute leukemias distinct lineages, including lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), myeloid (AML), mixed phenotype (MPAL). mechanisms underlying how this same results in diverse phenotypes among different individuals is not well understood. Given emerging evidence from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) that genetic risk factors contribute MLL -rearranged leukemogenesis, here we...
