Constitutive systemic inflammation in Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome (SDS) is an autosomal recessive disease belonging to the inherited bone marrow failure syndromes and characterized by hypocellular bone marrow, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, and skeletal abnormalities. SDS is associated with increased risk of developing myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and/or acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Although SDS is not primarily considered an inflammatory disorder, some of the associated conditions (e.g., neutropenia, pancreatitis and bone marrow dysfunction) may involve inflammation or immune system dysfunctions. We have already demonstrated that signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)-3 and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) were hyperactivated and associated with elevated IL-6 levels in
