Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) signaling pathway is key to hematopoiesis regulation. Increased activation of this pathway contributes to ineffective terminal erythroid differentiation in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Luspatercept is a novel fusion protein that traps TGF-β ligands preventing them from binding to Type II TGF-β receptors, thereby decreasing phosphorylated SMAD2/3 resulting in the downstream effect of promoting erythropoiesis. Seminal clinical trials using luspatercept, PACE-MD and MEDALIST, demonstrated impressive efficacy in the treatment of transfusion-dependent anemia in intermediate risk or lower MDS had led to the US FDA approval for this indication. This review summarizes luspatercept mechanisms of action, efficacy/safety data supporting its use and ongoing clinical trials in MDS.

Key Points The study establishes a reliable method to quantify differentiating mouse erythroblasts and to monitor terminal mouse erythropoiesis in vivo. Quantitative analysis of erythropoiesis of thalassemia mice revealed stage-specific changes in terminal erythroid differentiation.

Key Points Transcriptome analyses of human and murine reveal significant stage and species-specific differences across stages of terminal erythroid differentiation. These transcriptomes provide a significant resource for understanding mechanisms of normal and perturbed erythropoiesis.

Key Points NPM1 RT-PCR levels >1% are associated with poor overall and disease-free survival in AML patients treated with chemotherapy. NPM1 MRD levels >10% are associated with poor overall and disease-free survival in AML patients after allogeneic transplantation.

Key Points High ΔNp73/TAp73 expression ratio is associated with lower overall survival and higher cumulative incidence of relapse in APL. ΔNp73/TAp73 expression ratio is an independent prognostic marker in APL.

Key Points Modified ActRIIB ligand trap promotes terminal erythroid differentiation and mitigates ineffective erythropoiesis in murine β-thalassemia. This agent reduces anemia, α-globin aggregates, hemolysis, and disease complications such as iron overload, splenomegaly, and bone defects.

Key Points CXXC5 inhibits Wnt signaling and is a candidate tumor suppressor in AML. Low CXXC5 expression is an independent prognostic factor in AML.
