Abstract:

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a highly heterogeneous hematological malignancy, driven by multiple gene mutations and characterized by high incidence and mortality rates. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which possess self?renewal and multidirectional differentiation potentials, play crucial roles within the bone marrow microenvironment. Emerging research has demonstrated that MSCs contribute to AML development through various mechanisms, including mitochondrial transfer, transmission of extracellular vesicles, adipogenic differentiation, and secretion of pro?cancer proteins. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the involvement of MSCs in the AML bone marrow microenvironment and offers insights for developing novel therapeutic strategies targeting MSCs in AML treatment.

Key words: acute myeloid leukemia, mesenchymal stem cell, bone marrow microenvironment, cancer-promoting effect, targeted therapy
