Negative Regulators of Hemopoiesis and Stroma Function in Patients with Myelodysplastic Syndrome

Abstract excerpt

The mechanism that leads to hemopoietic failure in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is not well understood. There is evidence, however, that regulatory molecules such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, Fas (CD95), and Fas-ligand, which negatively affect hemopoiesis by way of apoptosis are upregulated. Here we analyzed marrow samples from 80 patients with MDS in regard to TNF-alpha and Fas-ligand...
