Abstract
Benzene, a widely used industrial chemical, has been clarified to cause hematotoxicity. Our previous study suggested that miR-451a may play a role in benzene-induced impairment of erythroid differentiation. However, the mechanism underlying remains unclear. In this study, we explored the role of miR-451a and its underlying mechanisms in hydroquinone (HQ)-induced suppression of erythroid differentiation in K562 cells. 0, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, and 50 μM HQ treatment of K562 cells resulted in a dose-dependent inhibition of erythroid differentiation, as well as the expression of miR-451a. Bioinformatics analysis was conducted to predict potential target genes of miR-451a and dual-luciferase reporter assays confirmed that miR-451a can directly bind to the 3'-UTR regions of BATF, SETD5, and ARHGEF3 mRNAs. We further demonstrated that over-expression or down-regulation of miR-451a altered the expression of BATF, SETD5, and ARHGEF3, and also modified erythroid differentiation. In addition, BATF, SETD5, and ARHGEF3 were verified to play a role in HQ-induced inhibition of erythroid differentiation in this study. Knockdown of SETD5 and ARHGEF3 reversed HQ-induced suppression of erythroid differentiation while knockdown of BATF had the opposite effect. On the other hand, we also identified c-Jun as a potential transcriptional regulator of miR-451a. Forced expression of c-Jun increased miR-451a expression and reversed the inhibition of erythroid differentiation induced by HQ, whereas knockdown of c-Jun had the opposite effect. And the binding site of c-Jun and miR-451a was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Collectively, our findings indicate that miR-451a and its downstream targets BATF, SETD5, and ARHGEF3 are involved in HQ-induced erythroid differentiation disorder, and c-Jun regulates miR-451a as a transcriptional regulator in this process.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) undergo self-renewal and differentiation in the bone marrow, which is tightly regulated by cues from the microenvironment. The gut microbiota, a dynamic community residing on the mucosal surface of vertebrates, plays a crucial role in maintaining host health. Recent evidence suggests that the gut microbiota influences HSCs differentiation by modulating the bone marrow microenvironment through microbial products. This paper comprehensively analyzes the impact of the gut microbiota on hematopoiesis and its effect on HSCs fate and differentiation by modifying the bone marrow microenvironment, including mechanical properties, inflammatory signals, bone marrow stromal cells, and metabolites. Furthermore, we discuss the involvement of the gut microbiota in the development of hematologic malignancies, such as leukemia, multiple myeloma, and lymphoma.

Abstract
Defective erythropoiesis is one of the causes of anemia and leukemia. However, the mechanisms underlying defective erythropoiesis under a low-dose environment of benzene are poorly understood. In the present study, multiple omics (transcriptomics and metabolomics) and methods from epidemiology to experimental biology (e.g., benzene-induced (WT and HIF-1α + ) mouse, hiPSC-derived HSPCs) were used. Here, we showed that erythropoiesis is more easily impacted than other blood cells, and the process is reversible, which involves HIF-1 and NF-kB signaling pathways in low-level benzene exposure workers. Decreased HIF-1α expression in benzene-induced mouse bone marrow resulted in DNA damage, senescence, and apoptosis in BMCs and HSCs, causing disturbances in iron homeostasis and erythropoiesis. We further revealed that HIF-1α mediates CCL3/macrophage-related immunosurveillance against benzene-induced senescent and damaged cells and contributes to iron homeostasis. Mechanistically, we showed that m6A modification is essential in this process. Benzene-induced depletion of m6A promotes the mRNA stability of gene NFKBIA and regulates the NF-κB/CCL3 pathway, which is regulated by HIF-1α/METTL3/YTHDF2. Overall, our results identified an unidentified role for HIF-1α, m6A, and the NF-kB signaling machinery in erythroid progenitor cells, suggesting that HIF-1α/METTL3/YTHDF2-m6A/NF-κB/CCL3 axis may be a potential prevention and therapeutic target for chronic exposure of humans to benzene-associated anemia and leukemia.

Abstract
Due to the annual increase in its production and consumption in occupational environments, the adverse blood outcomes caused by benzene are of concern. However, the mechanism of benzene-induced hematopoietic damage remains elusive. Here, we report that benzene exposure causes hematopoietic damage in a dose-dependent manner and is associated with disturbances in gut microbiota-long chain fatty acids (LCFAs)-inflammation axis. C57BL/6J mice exposed to benzene for 45 days were found to have a significant reduction in whole blood cells and the suppression of hematopoiesis, an increase in Bacteroides acidifaciens and a decrease in Lactobacillus murinus. Recipient mice transplanted with fecal microbiota from benzene-exposed mice showed potential for hematopoietic disruption, LCFAs, and interleukin-5 (IL-5) elevation. Abnormally elevated plasma LCFAs, especially palmitoleic acid (POA) exacerbated benzene-induced immune-inflammation and hematopoietic damage via carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (CPT2)-mediated disorder of fatty acid oxidation. Notably, oral administration of probiotics protects the mice against benzene-induced hematopoietic toxicity. In summary, our data reveal that the gut microbiota-POA-IL-5 axis is engaged in benzene-induced hematopoietic damage. Probiotics might be a promising candidate to prevent hematopoietic abnormalities from benzene exposure.

Abstract
The intestinal microbiota is associated with the development of benzene-induced hematopoietic toxicity. Modulation of intestinal homeostasis by probiotic supplementation has been considered an effective strategy to prevent adverse health effects. However, the role and mechanism of probiotics in benzene-induced hematopoietic toxicity are unclear. After 45 days of exposure, benzene caused bone marrow hematopoietic toxicity in mice. Furthermore, we found that benzene altered the intestinal barrier in mice, leading to an increase in the abundance of Bacteroidaceae and the activation of systemic inflammation. Interestingly, Fe2+ accumulation, lipid peroxidation, and differential expression of ferroptosis proteins were observed in the intestinal tissues of benzene-exposed mice. After fecal microbiota transplantation, stool microbes from benzene-exposed mice led to the development of intestinal ferroptosis in recipient mice. In particular, oral probiotics significantly reversed elevated Bacteroidaceae and intestinal ferroptosis, ultimately improving benzene-induced hematopoietic damage. We further used the benzene metabolite 1,4-BQ to treat human normal colonic epithelial cells (NCM460) and intervened with the ferroptosis inhibitor liproxstatin-1 (Lip-1) to validate the relationship between intestinal ferroptosis and inflammation. The results showed that 1,4-BQ treatment resulted in increased intracellular ROS levels and abnormal expression of ferroptosis proteins and the inflammatory factors IL-5 and IL-13. However, the use of Lip-1 significantly inhibited oxidative stress, ferroptosis, and inflammation in NCM460 cells. This result suggested that ferroptosis might be involved in benzene-induced hematopoietic toxicity by mediating Th2-type systemic inflammation. Overall, these findings revealed a role for Bacteroidaceae-intestinal ferroptosis-inflammation in benzene-induced hematopoietic toxicity and highlighted that probiotics could be a promising strategy to prevent adverse hematologic outcomes.

Abstract
Benzene is a group I carcinogen determined by IARC. The prevalence of benzene in occupational and general environments increases the risk of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) among workers and childhood leukemia. However, the mechanism of hematotoxicity induced by benzene remains unclear. Recently, the gut microbiota has been regarded as a pivotal part of normal and malignant hematopoiesis. Therefore, in this study, we explored the function of gut microbiota in hematopoietic injury induced by benzene by 16S rRNA sequencing. We found that benzene exposure caused bone marrow damage, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) dysfunction, and peripheral blood cell reduction. Moreover, intestinal barrier damage and gut microbiota dysbiosis were also observed in benzene-exposed mice. Interestingly, two gut flora, Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group and unclassified_Muribaculaceae, were significantly up-regulated and associated with hematopoietic indicators, suggesting that gut-host crosstalk might mediate benzene hematotoxicity. Microbiota-derived metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), bile acids, and tryptophan metabolites, are the primary mediators of the gut-host crosstalk. Therefore, we conducted absolute quantitative metabolomics to investigate the impact of benzene exposure on these metabolites in mice. The results showed that the concentration of SCFA butyrate, tryptophan metabolites kynurenine, and Indole-3-propionic acid (IPA) were significantly altered after benzene exposure. However, no difference was found in bile acids. Significant correlations were found between altered metabolites and hematopoietic indicators. We then investigated the flora that derived these metabolites. Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group and unclassified_Muribaculaceae were enriched in the butyrate metabolism and tryptophan metabolism pathways. Correlation analysis further suggested that unclassified_Muribaculaceae was positively associated with butyrate (r = 0.588, P < 0.05) and IPA (r = 0.59, P < 0.05). The above results demonstrated that unclassified_Muribaculaceae and microbiota-derived butyrate and IPA were involved in hematopoietic toxicity caused by benzene. This study provides insight into gut microbiota-derived metabolites-host crosstalk in benzene hematopoietic toxicity.

Abstract
Literature is teeming with publications on industrial pollution. Over the decades, the main industrial pollutants and their effects on human health have been widely framed. Among the various compounds involved, benzene plays a leading role in the onset of specific diseases. Two systems are mainly affected by the adverse health effects of benzene exposure, both acute and chronic: the respiratory and hematopoietic systems. The most suitable population targets for a proper damage assessment on these systems are oil refinery workers and residents near refining plants. Our work fits into this area of interest with the aim of reviewing the most relevant cases published in the literature related to the impairment of the aforementioned systems following benzene exposure. We perform an initial debate between the two clinical branches that see a high epidemiological expression in this slice of the population examined: residents near petroleum refinery areas worldwide. In addition, the discussion expands on highlighting the main immunological implications of benzene exposure, finding a common pathophysiological denominator in inflammation, oxidative stress, and DNA damage, thus helping to set the basis for an increasingly detailed characterization aimed at identifying common molecular patterns between the two clinical fields discussed.
