IFNγ challenge in primary human AML cells and murine models triggers parallel stemness and differentiation programs, with HSC/MPP-like cells becoming deeper stem-like and highly regenerative.
- Why it matters: Inflammation and IFNγ have paradoxical effects on AML, but how leukemic stem cells respond—especially regarding quiescence and long-term regeneration—remains unclear.
- What they did: The study combined bioinformatics with functional assays in primary human AML and murine models to test how IFNγ alters hierarchical AML heterogeneity and regeneration capacity.
- The result: In vivo inflammatory exposure caused only transient impairment of leukaemia propagating capacity, driven by an intraclonal fate bifurcation that may inform more effective therapies.
