Int J Hematol. 2023 Nov 13. doi: 10.1007/s12185-023-03672-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPrimary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by isolated thrombocytopenia due to accelerated platelet destruction and impaired platelet production. Diagnosis of ITP is still challenging because ITP has been diagnosed by exclusion. Exclusion of thrombocytopenia due to bone marrow failure is especially important in Japan because of high prevalence of aplastic anemia compared to Western countries. Hence, we propose a new diagnostic criteria involving the measurement of plasma thrombopoietin (TPO) levels ...

HLA class I allele loss and bone marrow transplantation outcomes in immune aplastic anemia
Immune aplastic anemia (AA) is T-cell-mediated bone marrow failure,1 which can be managed through hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or immunosuppressive therapy (IST) based on patient age and availability of an appropriate donor.2,3 (Source: Biology of Blood and Marrow Transplantation)

Irisin protected hemopoietic stem cells and improved outcome of severe bone marrow failure
The objective of this study was to investigate potential therapeutic effect of irisin, a molecule involved in adipose tissue transition, on AA mouse model. Our results showed that the concentration of irisin in serum was lower in AA patients than in healthy controls, suggesting a role of irisin in the pathogenesis of AA. In the AA mice, irisin administration prolonged the survival rate, prevented or attenuated peripheral pancytopenia, and preserved HPSC in the BM. Moreover, irisin also markedly reduced BM adipogenesis. In vitro results showed that irisin increased both cell proliferation and colony numbers of HPSC. Further...

Interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 levels in children with aplastic anemia and its correlation with disease severity and response to immunosuppressive therapy
Conclusions: Children with AA had higher IL-6 and IL-8 levels than normal age- and sex-matched controls. Increased levels were linked to the severity of the condition, suggesting that IL may have a role in AA. IL levels can be monitored in AA patients during IST, which can assist in predicting response to IST.

Reduced regulatory effects of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells on activated T lymphocytes and Th1/Th2 cytokine secretion in children with aplastic anemia
AbstractAcquired aplastic anemia (AA) is a recognized immune-mediated disorder and abnormally activated T lymphocyte-mediated bone marrow destruction is considered to be its main pathogenesis. Whether abnormal activation of T lymphocytes would also damage bone marrow-derived MSCs remains to be further studied. The aim of this study was to analyze the extent of T lymphocyte activation and the levels of Th1/Th2 cytokines of AA patients, and to explore the immunomodulatory effects of BM-MSCs on IL-2-stimulated T lymphocyte activation and cytokine production in vitro by means of transwell co-culture assay and flow cytometry me...

Multicenter evaluation of the addition of eltrombopag to immunosuppressive therapy for adults with severe aplastic anemia
Int J Hematol. 2023 Oct 26. doi: 10.1007/s12185-023-03670-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEltrombopag has been shown to improve response rates when added to standard therapy in adults with severe aplastic anemia in controlled trial settings. However, outcomes in real-world populations have mostly been examined in small retrospective studies. This robust, multicenter, retrospective cohort study across six academic health systems compared outcomes in patients who received immunosuppressive therapy with or without eltrombopag. The study included 82 patients who received front-line therapy from January 2014 to August 2021. Ov...
