Chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) is a rare BCR::ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) defined by persistent mature neutrophilic leukocytosis and bone marrow granulocyte hyperplasia. Atypical chronic myeloid leukemia (aCML) (myelodysplastic "[MDS]/MPN with neutrophilia" per World Health Organization [WHO]) is a MDS/MPN overlap disorder featuring dysplastic neutrophilia and circulating myeloid precursors. Both manifest with frequent hepatosplenomegaly and less commonly, bleeding, with high rates of leukemic transformation and death...

We report a series of patients with CSF3R-mutant (CSF3Rmut ) atypical chronic myeloid leukemia (aCML), chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) or other hematologic malignancies. We included 25 patients: 5 aCML and 4 CNL CSF3Rmut patients; 1 aCML, 2 CNL, and 2 myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm, not otherwise specified patients without CSF3R mutation; and 11 CSF3Rmut patients with other diseases [8 acute myeloid leukemia (AML), 1 chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), 1 myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and 1 acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)]...

Casitas B-cell lineage (CBL) syndrome is a rare RASopathy known to predispose to CBL-mutated juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) in childhood. Adulthood acute myeloid leukemia arising out of a genetic aberrancies consistent with prior CBL-mutated JMML has been twice previously described, but chronic myeloproliferative neoplasia has not. We present a case of progressive myeloproliferative neoplasm in adulthood in the context of CBL syndrome alongside a novel CSF3R variant. We also review pathogenic splice-site mutations in CBL-mutated JMML...

BACKGROUND: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is still a lethal disease worldwide. This study aims to identify clinically relevant diagnostic biomarker in CAD and explore the potential medications on CAD. METHODS: GSE42148, GSE180081, and GSE12288 were downloaded as the training and validation cohorts to identify the candidate genes by constructing the weighted gene co-expression network analysis. Functional enrichment analysis was utilized to determine the functional roles of these genes...

BACKGROUND: Chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL) is a rare invasive disease characterized by non-specific cytogenetic abnormalities or elevated mother cells, poor prognosis, and a high risk of conversion to acute leukemia. METHODS: We described the data of a patient with CEL-NOS. RESULTS: This case is a CEL-NOS with four mutations in CSF3R-T618I, DNMT3A Q816, ASXL1, and IDH2. CONCLUSIONS: The patient rapidly evolves into secondary acute myeloid leukemia (AML)...

The congenital neutropenia syndromes are rare haematological conditions defined by impaired myeloid precursor differentiation or function. Patients are prone to severe infections with high mortality rates in early life. While some patients benefit from granulocyte colony-stimulating factor treatment, they may still face an increased risk of bone marrow failure, myelodysplastic syndrome and acute leukaemia. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for improved outcomes; however, diagnosis depends on familiarity with a heterogeneous group of rare disorders that remain incompletely characterised...

Severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) is characterized by chronic neutropenia with recurrent infections from early infancy and a predisposition to myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the only curative treatment for patients with SCN who develop myelodysplastic syndrome/AML. We report an 8-year-old girl with SCN carrying an ELANE mutation that had been refractory to granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. The patient experienced recurrent infections and then developed AML...

Elevated MAPK and the JAK-STAT signaling play pivotal roles in the pathogenesis of chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) and atypical chronic myeloid leukemia (aCML). While inhibitors targeting these pathways effectively suppress the diseases, they fall short in providing enduring remission, largely attributed to cytostatic nature of these drugs. Even combinations of these drugs are ineffective in achieving sustained remission. Enhanced MAPK signaling besides promoting proliferation and survival triggers a pro-apoptotic response...

Atherosclerosis (AS) is the pathologic basis of various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, with a high degree of heterogeneity among different arterial beds. However, mechanistic differences between arterial beds remain unexplored. The aim of this study was to explore key genes and potential mechanistic differences between AS in different arterial beds through bioinformatics analysis. Carotid atherosclerosis (CAS), femoral atherosclerosis (FAS), infrapopliteal atherosclerosis (IPAS), abdominal aortic atherosclerosis (AAS), and AS-specific differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened from the GSE100927 and GSE57691 datasets...

Gliomas comprise most cases of central nervous system (CNS) tumors. Gliomas afflict both adults and children, and glioblastoma (GBM) in adults represents the clinically most important type of malignant brain cancer, with a very poor prognosis. The cell surface glycoprotein CD114, which is encoded by the CSF3R gene, acts as the receptor for the granulocyte colony stimulating factor (GCSF), and is thus also called GCSFR or CSFR. CD114 is a marker of cancer stem cells (CSCs), and its expression has been reported in several cancer types...

Neutrophils are the most abundant leukocytes in human blood and play a primary role in resistance against invading microorganisms and in the acute inflammatory response. However, their role in colitis and colitis-associated colorectal cancer is still under debate. This study aims to dissect the role of neutrophils in these pathological contexts by using a rigorous genetic approach. Neutrophil-deficient mice (Csf3r-/- mice) were used in classic models of colitis and colitis-associated colorectal cancer and the role of neutrophils was assessed by histological, cellular and molecular analyses coupled with adoptive cell transfer...

OBJECTIVE: Abundant neutrophils have been identified in both ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysm (IA) domes, with their function and clinical implication being poorly characterized. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We employed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) datasets of both human and murine model, and external bulk mRNA sequencing datasets to thoroughly explore the features and functional heterogeneous of neutrophils infiltrating the IA dome. RESULTS: We found that both unruptured and ruptured IA dome contain a substantial population of neutrophils, characterized by FCGR3B, G0S2, CSF3R, and CXCR2...

UNLABELLED: We report a deep next-generation sequencing analysis of 13 sequentially obtained tumor samples, eight sequentially obtained circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) samples and three germline DNA samples over the life history of 3 patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), 2 of whom had germline pathogenic BRCA1 mutation, to unravel tumor evolution. Tumor tissue from all timepoints and germline DNA was subjected to whole-exome sequencing (WES), custom amplicon deep sequencing (30,000X) of a WES-derived somatic mutation panel, and SNP arrays for copy-number variation (CNV), while whole transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed only on somatic tumor...

OBJECTIVE: Both non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are prevalent diseases worldwide. This study aimed to explore the underlying mechanisms of NAFLD and HCC and identify new therapeutic targets for human cancers. MATERIALS AND METHODS: NAFLD and HCC gene expression profiles were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) were utilized to identify co-expressed genes associated with NAFLD and HCC...

Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are hematopoietic diseases characterized by the clonal expansion of single or multiple lineages of differentiated myeloid cells that accumulate in the blood and bone marrow. MPNs are grouped into distinct categories based on key clinical presentations and distinctive mutational hallmarks. These include chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), which is strongly associated with the signature BCR::ABL1 gene translocation, polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary (idiopathic) myelofibrosis (PMF), typically accompanied by molecular alterations in the JAK2 , MPL , or CALR genes...

Emergency granulopoiesis and neutrophil mobilization that can be triggered by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) through its receptor G-CSFR are essential for antibacterial innate defense. However, the epigenetic modifiers crucial for intrinsically regulating G-CSFR expression and the antibacterial response of neutrophils remain largely unclear. N6 -methyladenosine (m6 A) RNA modification and the related demethylase alkB homolog 5 (ALKBH5) are key epigenetic regulators of immunity and inflammation, but their roles in neutrophil production and mobilization are still unknown...

Atypical chronic myeloid leukemia (aCML) is included in the group of myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms by the International Consensus Classification and has been renamed as MDS/MPN with neutrophilia by the fifth edition of World Health Organization classification. It is always characterized by morphologic identification of granulocytic dysplasia with >10% circulating immature myeloid cells, 2 distinguished features that differentiate this disease among the others. Somatic mutations may help to diagnose but are not specifically pathognomonic of the disease, with the most detected including ASXL1, SETBP1, NRAS, KRAS, SRSF2, and TET2 and with low-frequency CBL, CSF3R, JAK2, and ETNK1...

PURPOSE: To identify likely germline DNA variants from sequential tumor profiling data from hematopoietic malignancies (HMs). METHODS: The coefficient of variance was calculated from variant allele frequency of next generation sequencing assays. Variants' likelihood of being germline was ranked on a 1-5 scale. Outcomes were examined in patients with such variants. RESULTS: In a pilot set of 33 genes, 89% of grade 1, 77% of grade 2, 62% of grade 3, 52% of grade 4, and 21% of grade 5 variants were confirmed to be germline...
