Abstract:
Clonal hematopoiesis is a common aging_associated biological state. The incidence of malignant neoplasms for the patients with clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is 0.5%-1% every year. Potential factors of clonal progression in hematopoietic cells have been summarized, including disordered endogenous immunity caused by the augmentation of proliferative pressure, chromosomal instability caused by telomeres short; the amplification of clonal stem cells, acquisition of new mutations, and aging_associated changes in hematopoietic stem cells, including altered DNA damage response, an altered transcriptional program and epigenetic alterations while failing to support healthy hematopoiesis. CHIP is a vascular risk factor driven by interactions between clonal monocytes_macrophages and the endothelium, as well as a neoplastic progression risk factor driven by the acquisition of additional somatic mutations in the context of many other influences on hematopoiesis and clonal balance. Strategies to reduce the clonal burden associated with CHIP and to inhibit the key inflammatory pathways leading to atherosclerosis could improve the prognosis of the patients.
