Abstract

Multipotent stromal cells (MSCs) and their osteoblastic lineage cell (OBC) derivatives are part of the bone marrow (BM) niche and contribute to hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) maintenance. Here, we show that myeloproliferative neoplasia (MPN) progressively remodels the endosteal BM niche into a self-reinforcing leukemic niche that impairs normal hematopoiesis, favors leukemic stem cell (LSC) function, and contributes to BM fibrosis. We show that leukemic myeloid cells stimulate MSCs to overproduce functionally altered OBCs, which accumulate in the BM cavity as inflammatory myelofibrotic cells. We identify roles for thrombopoietin, CCL3, and direct cell-cell interactions in driving OBC expansion, and for changes in TGF-β, Notch, and inflammatory signaling in OBC remodeling. MPN-expanded OBCs, in turn, exhibit decreased expression of many HSC retention factors and severely compromised ability to maintain normal HSCs, but effectively support LSCs. Targeting this pathological interplay could represent a novel avenue for treatment of MPN-affected patients and prevention of myelofibrosis.

  • MPPGM appears to be a nexus of myeloid expansion under both inflammatory conditions and in animal models of myeloid malignancy.

    “It is noteworthy that MPPGM (also commonly referred to as MPP3) (Challen et al., 2021) appears to be a nexus of myeloid expansion under both inflammatory conditions and in animal models of myeloid malignancy (Schepers et al., 2013; Pietras et al., 2015; Shih et al., 2015; Pietras et al., 2016; Herault et al., 2017; Hernandez et al., 2020; Kang et al., 2020; Rabe et al., 2020).”

    The Results section on MPN development reports severe granulocytic expansion in a mouse model of CML, supporting the broad myeloid-expansion context. But the paper does not identify MPPGM/MPP3 as the nexus of that expansion; its Discussion says the MPN myeloid cells were not characterized beyond broad Mac-1 expression. Its discussion of inflammation concerns niche remodeling, not MPPGM expansion under inflammatory conditions. Page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.84)

  • Accumulation of inflammatory myelofibrotic cells and downregulation of factors regulating niche function and HSC retention, including CXCL12, n-cadherin, SCF, angiopoietin-1, and TGF-1 and -2, occur in this context.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
