New-onset aplastic anemia after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination
Int J Hematol. 2023 Sep 28. doi: 10.1007/s12185-023-03666-z. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAplastic anemia (AA) is a rare autoimmune disease. Drugs, viruses, and radiation are among the most common etiologic factors, and most cases have immune pathophysiology. SARS-CoV-2 vaccines have been linked with rare side effects, including cases of acquired aplastic anemia. Here we review all the reported cases of new-onset AA after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, and discuss their clinical characteristics and management. 18 patients in these case reports had a median age of 58 years. The time from vaccination to onset of aplastic anemia ra...

GSE235652 The methylome of buccal epithelial cells is influenced by age, sex, and physiological properties
In this study, we aimed to identify how the methylome of buccal epithelial cells, a non-invasive and easily accessible tissue, is associated with demographic and health-related variables commonly used in clinical settings, such as age, sex, blood immune composition, hemoglobin levels, and others. We developed a model to assess the association of multiple factors with the human methylome and identify the genomic loci significantly impacted by each trait. We demonstrated that DNA methylation variation is accurately modeled by several factors. We confirmed the well-known impact of age and sex and unveiled novel clinical facto...

Spatial proteomics identifies a spectrum of immune dysregulation in acquired bone marrow failure syndromes
In this study, we used spatial proteomics to compare the immunobiology of the BM microenvironment and identify common mechanisms of immune dysregulation under these conditions. Archival BM trephines from patients exhibited downregulation of the immunoregulatory protein VISTA and the M2 macrophage marker and suppressor of T-cell activation ARG1 with increased expression of the immune checkpoint B7-H3 compared to normal controls. Increased CD163 and CD14 expression suggested monocyte/macrophage skewing, which, combined with dysregulation of STING and VISTA, is indicative of an environment of reduced immunoregulation resultin...

Comparison of eltrombopag and avatrombopag in the treatment of refractory/relapsed aplastic anemia: a single-center retrospective study in China
CONCLUSION: With worse liver or renal function, AVA had a similar OR/CR rate but a shorter median time to response and fewer adverse events for patients with relapsed/refractory AA.PMID:37719987 | PMC:PMC10503291 | DOI:10.1177/20406207231191310 (Source: Adv Data)

Comparison of haploidentical stem cell transplantation with post-transplant cyclophosphamide versus umbilical cord blood transplantation in adult patients with aplastic anemia
Aplastic anemia is a bone marrow (BM) failure disorder that may lead to life-threatening complications, such as infection and bleeding, if hematopoiesis is not restored through treatment. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from an alternative donor is an important treatment option for patients with immunosuppressive therapy (IST)-refractory aplastic anemia when an HLA-matched donor is not available1-3.
