Necroinflammation emerges as a key regulator of hematopoiesis in health and disease

Abstract

The hematopoietic system represents an organ system with an exceptional capacity for the production of mature blood cells from a small and mostly quiescent pool of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). This extraordinary capacity includes selfrenewal but also the propensity to rapidly respond to extrinsic needs, such as acute infections, severe inflammation, and wound healing. In recent years, it became clear that inflammatory signals such as cytokines, chemokine and danger signals from pathogens (PAMPs) or dying cells (DAMPs) impact on HSCs, shaping their proliferation status, lineage bias, and repopulating ability and subsequently increasing the output of mature effector cells. However, inflammatory danger signals negatively impact on the capacity of HSCs to self-renew and to maintain their stem cell capabilities. This is evidenced in conditions of chronic inflammation where bone marrow failure may originate from HSC exhaustion. Even in hematopoietic cancers, inflammatory signals shape the phenotype of the malignant clone as exemplified by necrosome-dependent inflammation elicited during malignant transformation in acute myeloid leukemia. Accordingly, understanding the contribution of inflammatory signals, and specifically necroinflammation, to HSC integrity, HSC long-term functionality, and malignant transformation has attracted substantial research and clinical interest. In this review, we highlight recent developments and open questions at the interplay between inflammation, regulated necrosis, and HSC biology in the context of blood cell development, acute and chronic inflammation, and hematopoietic cancer.

miR125a attenuates BMSCs apoptosis via the MAPK‐ERK pathways in the setting of craniofacial defect reconstruction

“…Besides, BMSC engraftment could also release several cytokines which promote tissue growth and regeneration (Moore et al, ). Accordingly, several basic experiments and clinical studies have used BMSC to facilitate craniofacial defect reconstruction (Jost & Hockendorf, ). Notably, damaged oral and maxillofacial, due to several physiological and/or pathological factors (Souza et al, ), such as inflammation, tumor, surgery and injury, would shape a harsh microenvironment which impairs the engraftment efficiency (H. Zhou, Li, et al, ).…”

Role of mitochondrial quality control in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

“…Several signaling pathways are related to mitochondrial oxidative stress and are potential targets to restoring mitochondrial respiratory functions [65][66][67]. Pharmacological activation of AMP-activated protein kinase α2 (AMPKα2) attenuates mitochondrial oxidative stress in NAFLD by increasing mitochondrial biogenesis and lipid oxidation [68].…”

ROCK1 knockdown inhibits non-small-cell lung cancer progression by activating the LATS2-JNK signaling pathway

“…To further explore potential causal relationships between ROCK1 expression and the LATS2-JNK pathway in A549 cells [ 39 ], siRNA against LATS2 (si/LATS2) was transfected before si/ROCK1 transfection to interrupt ROCK1 deficiency-induced LATS2 activation. An MTT assay demonstrated that si/ROCK1 treatment reduced cell viability in A549 cells compared to the control group, while co-transfection of si/LATS2 restored cell viability almost to control levels ( Figure 4A ).…”
