The central role of inflammatory signaling in the pathogenesis of myelodysplastic syndromes
Open accessAbstract
In cancer biology, tumor-promoting inflammation and an inflammatory microenvironment play a vital role in disease pathogenesis. In the past decade, aberrant innate immune activation and proinflammatory signaling within the malignant clone and the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment were identified as key pathogenic drivers of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). In particular, S100A9-mediated NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation directs an inflammatory, lytic form of cell death termed pyroptosis that underlies many of the hallmark features of the disease. This circuit and accompanying release of other danger-associated molecular patterns expands BM myeloid-derived suppressor cells, creating a feed-forward process propagating inflammasome activation. Furthermore, somatic gene mutations of varied functional classes license the NLRP3 inflammasome to generate a common phenotype with excess reactive oxygen species generation, Wnt/β-catenin-induced proliferation, cation flux-induced cell swelling, and caspase-1 activation. Recent investigations have shown that activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome complex has more broad-reaching importance, particularly as a possible disease-specific biomarker for MDS, and, mechanistically, as a driver of cardiovascular morbidity/mortality in individuals with age-related, clonal hematopoiesis. Recognition of the mechanistic role of aberrant innate immune activation in MDS provides a new perspective for therapeutic development that could usher in a novel class of disease-modifying agents.

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.
