Inflammation fuels bone marrow exhaustion caused by Samd9l mutation

Abstract

Sterile α motif domain–containing 9 (SAMD9) and SAMD9-like (SAMD9L) syndromes are inherited bone marrow failure syndromes known for their frequent development of myelodysplastic syndrome with monosomy 7. In this issue of the JCI, Abdelhamed, Thomas, et al. report a mouse model with a hematopoietic cell–specific heterozygous Samd9l mutation knockin. This mouse model resembles human disease in many ways, including bone marrow failure and the nonrandom loss of the mutant allele. Samd9l-mutant hematopoietic stem progenitor cells showed reduced fitness at baseline, which was further exacerbated by inflammation. TGF-β hyperactivation was found to underlie reduced fitness, which was partially rescued by a TGF-β inhibitor. These findings illustrate the potential role of TGF-β inhibitors in the treatment of SAMD9/SAMD9L syndromes.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.

Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
