Abstract
Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is regarded as a spectrum of bone marrow failure disorders that share hemato-pathological state of cellular dysplasia and cytopenia. The modern treatment of cancers like chemotherapy and radiation therapy sometimes severely pounce on the basic hematopoietic stem/progenitor cellular (HSPC) compartment which gradually disclose the clinical symptoms of MDS. The present study involves flowcytometric protein expression analysis of insulin growth factor receptor (IGFR), PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway, the autophagy related proteins (ATG's), the status of antioxidative molecules SOD2 and SDF1 and apoptosis profiling in ethyl-nitroso-urea induced myelodysplasia. The redox status that is, reactive oxygen species was estimated with dihydroetidium and the status of mitochondria and lysosomes were checked by Janus green B and neutral red staining respectively, pre and post quercetin treatment in MDS bone marrow. The results revealed the activated IGFR/PI3K/Akt axis in MDS bone marrow but unconventionally both p-mTOR and autophagy (p-ATG1, p-AT6, ATG7, ATG12) was downregulated. Interestingly, post quercetin treatment an upregulation of basal autophagocytosis, reversal of oxidative damage and proper functionality of mitochondria and lysosome was recorded. Taken together, the study hinted that the PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway does not rule over the process of autophagocytosis in HSPC's of MDS bone marrow and the isoflavanoid quercetin remarkably restored autophagocytosis and hematopoietic oxidative status toward normalcy during the progression of myelodysplasia.

Abstract
Myelodysplastic syndrome is a heterogenous group of disorder with clonal dysregulated hematopoiesis characterized by bone marrow failure, cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities and variable risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The bone marrow niche plays a major role in maintaining the homeostasis and is often injured by the chemotherapeutic drugs leading to catastrophic consequences like myelodysplastic syndrome. In the present study, we made an attempt to find out the osteoblastic niche related alterations in the myelodysplastic bone marrow through mainly flowcytometric and fluorescent microscopic studies. We have also checked the condition of the myelodysplastic bone through micro computed tomography. The results revealed that the affected osteoblasts of the myelodysplastic bone marrow compelled the hematopoietic stem cell to come out of quiescence and become actively proliferating, and in this scenario the decline in expression of cell adhesion molecules like N-Cadherin, Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM) and upregulated focal adhesion kinase (FAK) played a major role. The hike in number of osteoclasts in myelodysplastic cases than control also shattered the balance between bone formation and resorption ratio. We have recorded a dysregulated expression of transcription factors GATA2 and CEBPα (CCAAT-enhancer-binding-protein) in the hematopoietic stem progenitor compartment of the myelodysplastic bone marrow, the main reason behind the presence of abnormal myeloblasts in myelodysplastic cases. Collectively, we can say the coordinated perturbations in the osteoblastic niche, cell adhesion molecules together with the transcription factors has resulted in the uncontrolled proliferation of hematopoietic stem cell, dysregulated myelopoiesis, early trafficking of hematopoietic progenitors to blood compartment and at the same time pancytopenic peripheral blood conditions during the progression of N-Ethyl N Nitroso Urea (ENU) induced myelodysplasia.

Abstract
The etiologic link between pesticide toxicity and aplastic anemia in agricultural and agro-industrial setting has been frequently reported in epidemiological studies conducted worldwide. Chronic pesticide toxicity causes long-term bone marrow injury and perturbs the normal hematopoietic physiology, including survival of hematopoietic progenitor cells and bone marrow's blood cell forming ability. The purpose of this study is to understand the mechanism of pesticide toxicity-mediated bone marrow aplasia by studying Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and microenvironmental stromal components. An agricultural pesticide formulation comprising of cypermethrin, chlorpyriphos, and hexaconazole was used to induce bone marrow aplasia in inbred Swiss albino mice. Marrow failure followed by the onset of aplastic condition was confirmed by pancytopenic peripheral blood and hypocellular bone marrow filled with adipocytes. Significant downregulation of canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling was identified by expression analysis of Wnt3a, β-catenin, and telomerase reverse transcriptase in the aplastic bone marrow hematopoietic stem/progenitor compartment. Along with signaling deregulation, disruption in both the osteoblastic and vascular stromal components was observed in the pesticide-exposed bone marrow microenvironment when compared to control. In this study, we tried to establish the correlation among disease pathophysiology, signaling deregulation in the hematopoietic cells, and bone marrow microenvironmental alteration during environmental exposure-mediated aplastic hematopoietic catastrophe, which may shed light on the unexplored mechanistic perspective of this fatal blood disease.

Abstract
Myelodysplastic syndrome is considered globally as heterogenous group of neoplasm which often proclaims leukemic progression. The heterogeneity is reflected not only in clinical manifestations of the disease but also in salient causes of disease development. In spite of multiple therapeutic modalities, shortfall towards treatment of this disorder still persists. The focal point of tussle suggested toward defects, which are not confined to any unifying cellular signalling. The pathobiology of the disease often experiences an intriguing paradox involving 'hyperproliferative bone marrow with pancytopenic peripheral blood'. In our present study we have reported about MAPK signaling in the hematopoietic stem progenitor compartmental (HSPC) dysregulation during the course of alkylator(ENU) induced myelodysplasia. The phospho-protein status of RTK's(FLT3, PDGFR, EGFR) were markedly increased that activated MAPK signaling proteins which finally executed their tasks by transcription of c-Myc and Rb leading to uncontrolled cellular proliferation, simultaneously the activated c-Jun revealed stress related apoptosis. Altogether, the role of activated MAPK signaling in the HSPC's may have led to hyperproliferation and concurrent enhanced apoptosis of abnormal cells which gradually headed towards premalignant transformations during the course of disease. The phenotypic expression of the HSPC markers CD 150 and CD 90 also established a mechanistic correlation with MAPK signalling alterations and overall scenario.

Abstract
We hypothesized that a subset of idiopathic cytopenia of undetermined significance (ICUS) is associated with an increased autonomous proliferation with exhaustion of hematopoiesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the cell turnover rate and replicative history of the bone marrow cells of ICUS patients. To this end, we examined telomere length (TL), proliferation, and apoptosis of the bone marrow cells of ICUS patients and healthy controls (HCs) using telomere quantitative fluorescence in situ hybridization and immunohistochemical staining for Ki-67 and cleaved caspase-3. We also performed targeted sequencing of 88 myeloid-associated genes. A total of 37 patients with ICUS were enrolled in this study, with a median age of 66 years (range: 31-83). TLs were significantly shorter in patients with ICUS than in the HCs (8.8, interquartile range [IQR] 6.8-12.1 vs 18.4, IQR 14.4-22.0, p < 0.0001). Proliferation (Ki-67-positive) and apoptosis (cleaved caspase-3-positive) were significantly increased in patients with ICUS compared to HCs (median = 20.0% vs 5.0%, p = 0.0003; 45.0% vs 22.5%, p = 0.0005, respectively). The shortening of TL and the increased proliferation and apoptotic activity was also prominent in patients with ICUS without mutation and dysplasia than in HCs (p < 0.0001, p < 0.0001, and p = 0.0093, respectively). TL was not associated with mutational profile and clinical characteristics as well in patients with ICUS. To our knowledge, this is the first study to show that ICUS is associated with premature replicative senescence with increased proliferation and apoptosis of bone marrow cells. Further study is needed to address the cause of replicative exhaustion in ICUS patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To ascertain the relevance of bone marrow cellularity (BMC) to the interpretation of blast percentage (blast%) in MDS prognostication. METHODS We compared survival prediction based on blast% adjusted to different levels of cellularity, compared to the survival based on the original IPSS-R blast% grouping. RESULTS We analyzed 355 consecutive MDS patients. Cellularity, in and of itself or its interaction with blast%, was not associated with overall survival (OS). In a small subset of patients with a hypercellular marrow (15%; n = 26), dismal prognosis was observed at lower levels of blast%. For these cases OS was similar to higher IPSS-R blast groups. For example, within the Intermediate group (blast% 5%-10%), those with a hypercellular marrow and >6% blasts had an OS of 10 m similar to 16 m in the High (blast% 10%-19%) blast group. These changes did not translate into a significant improvement in overall prognostic power of a cellularity-adjusted IPSS-R (C index 0.71 vs. 0.70). CONCLUSION Adjusting blast% to cellularity did not improve prognostication. However, within IPSS-R-defined blast groups, a small subset of patients with relatively higher blast% and hypercellularity may have a worse prognosis than expected.

Abstract
Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a poorly understood dreadful hematopoietic disorder that involves maturational defect and abnormalities in blood cell production leading to dysplastic changes and peripheral blood pancytopenia. The present work aims in establishing the mechanistic relationship of the expressional alterations of major tumor suppressor cascade, vital cell cycle inhibitors and hematopoietic microenvironmental components with the disease pathophysiologies. The study involves the development of N-N' Ethylnitrosourea (ENU) induced mouse model of MDS, characterization of the disease with blood film and bone marrow smear studies, scanning electron microscopic observation, mitochondrial membrane potential determination, flowcytometric analysis of osteoblastic and vascular niche components along with the expressional study of cleaved caspase-3, PCNA, Chk-2, p53, Ndn, Gfi-1, Tie-2, Sdf-1, Gsk-3β, p18 and Myt-1 in the bone marrow compartment. Dysplastic features were found in peripheral blood of MDS mice which seemed to be the consequence of three marrow pathophysiological conditions viz; aberrant rise of cellular proliferation, increased apoptosis and crowding of abnormal blast population. Expressional decline of the p53 cascade involving Chk-2, p53, Ndn, Gfi-1 along with the downregulation of major cell cycle inhibitors seemed to be associated with the hyper-proliferative nature of bone marrow cells during MDS. Moreover the disruption of osteoblastic niche components added to the decreased hematopoietic quiescency. Increased marrow vascular niche components signified the pre-malignant state of MDS. Elevated cellular apoptosis and rise in the blast burden were also found to be associated with the p53 expression dependent collapsing of mitochondrial membrane potential and upregulation of Tie-2 respectively. The study established the mechanistic correlation between the alterations of the mentioned signaling components and hematopoietic anomalies during MDS which may be beneficial for the development of therapeutic strategies for the disease.

Abstract
Hematological disorders like myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) may arise due to cumulative dysregulation of various signalling pathways controlling proliferation, differentiation, maturation and apoptosis of bone marrow cells. This devastating bone marrow condition can be due to consequential abnormalities in haematopoiesis as well as its supportive microenvironment. Although mutations related to JAK/STAT pathway are common in myeloproliferative neoplasms, further studies are required to fully explore the myelodysplastic scenario regarding the concerned pathway. In this study, we have investigated the JAK-STAT signalling pathway which inevitably plays a crucial role in haematopoiesis. MDS was mimicked in a mouse model with an induction of ENU in adult mice. The bone marrow of the control and MDS groups of animals were subjected to a variety of tests, including cell morphology study in peripheral blood and bone marrow, cytochemistry and histochemistry of bone marrow smears, karyotyping and flowcytometric expression analysis of the phosphorylated forms of proteins like JAK1, STAT3 and STAT5 (denoted as pJAK1, pSTAT3 and pSTAT5) and the phenotypic expression of proteins like CD45 and CD71. The results revealed that the morphology of the blood and bone marrow cells were dysplastic compared to the affected blast populations of different lineages. The expression of common leucocyte antigen CD45 was less in comparison to the expression of transferrin receptor CD71 which was increased in the ENU induced MDS mouse model. Moreover, we have observed an upregulated expression of JAK1 followed by STAT5. Therefore, we can conclude that downregulation of CD45 may have helped in the upregulation of JAK-STAT signaling and CD71 expression. This aberrant signaling may be among one of the activated signaling axes that lead to affected hematopoietic lineages in Myelodysplastic syndrome.

Abstract
Aplastic anemia, the paradigm of bone marrow failure, is characterized by pancytopenic peripheral blood and hypoplastic bone marrow. Among various etiologies, inappropriate use of DNA alkylating drugs like cyclophosphamide and busulfan often causes the manifestation of the dreadful disease. Cell cycle impairment in marrow hematopoietic stem/progenitor compartment together with cellular apoptosis has been recognized as culpable factors behind aplastic pathophysiologies. However, the intricate molecular mechanisms remain unrevealed till date. In the present study, we have dealt with the mechanistic intervention of the disease by peripheral blood hemogram, bone marrow histopathology, cytopathology, hematopoietic kinetic study, scanning electron microscopy, DNA damage assessment and flowcytometric analysis of cellular proliferation and apoptosis in hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell (HSPC) rich marrow compartment using busulfan and cyclophosphamidemediated mouse model. To unveil the molecular mechanisms behind aplastic pathophysiology, we further investigated the role of some crucial mitotic and apoptotic regulators like Protein kinase-B (PKB), Gsk-3β, Cyclin-D1, PP2A, Cdc25c, Plk-1, Aurora kinase-A, Chk-1 regarding the hematopoietic catastrophe. Our observations revealed that the alteration of PKB-GSK-3β axis, Plk-1, and Aurora kinase-A expressions in HSPC compartment due to DNA damage response was associated with the proliferative impairment and apoptosis during aplastic anemia. The study established the correlation between the accumulation of DNA damage and alteration of the mentioned molecules in aplastic HSPCs that lead to the hematopoietic catastrophe. We anticipate that our findings will be beneficial for developing better therapeutic strategies for the dreadful disease concerned.
