Myeloid malignancies are clonal disorders of the progenitor cells or hematopoietic stem cells, including acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, myeloproliferative malignancies, and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. Myeloid neoplastic cells affect the proliferation and differentiation of other hematopoietic lineages in the bone marrow and peripheral blood, leading to severe and life-threatening complications. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) residing in the bone marrow exert immunosuppressive functions by suppressing innate and adaptive immune systems, thus creating a supportive and tolerant microenvironment for myeloid malignancy progression. This review summarizes the significant features of MSCs in myeloid malignancies, including their role in regulating cell growth, cell death, and antineoplastic resistance, in addition to their immunosuppressive contributions. Understanding the implications of MSCs in myeloid malignancies could pave the path for potential use in immunotherapy.
髓系恶性肿瘤是祖细胞或造血干细胞的克隆性疾病,包括急性髓系白血病、骨髓增生异常综合征、骨髓增殖性恶性肿瘤和慢性粒单核细胞白血病。髓系肿瘤细胞影响骨髓和外周血中其他造血谱系的增殖和分化,导致严重且危及生命的并发症。存在于骨髓中的间充质基质细胞(MSC)通过抑制先天性和适应性免疫系统发挥免疫抑制功能,从而为髓系恶性肿瘤的进展创造一个支持性和耐受性的微环境。本综述总结了MSC在髓系恶性肿瘤中的重要特征,除了其免疫抑制作用外,还包括它们在调节细胞生长、细胞死亡和抗肿瘤耐药性方面的作用。了解MSC在髓系恶性肿瘤中的意义可为免疫治疗的潜在应用铺平道路。
