Leukemia stem cells (LSC) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML; red), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML; dark blue), B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL; green), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL; pale blue), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS; orange) and JAK2 V617F positive myeloproliferative neoplasia (MPN; yellow) interact with their bone marrow microenvironment via specific pathways. Specific details are provided in the text. SDF-1α: stromal-derived factor 1α; BMP: bone morphogenetic protein; BMPR: bone morphogenetic protein receptor; Gas6: growth-arrest-specific-gene 6; VEGF (A): vascular endothelial growth factor (A); SCF: stem cell factor; IL-8: interleukin-8; PlGF: placental growth factor; TPO: thrombopoietin; LIF: leukemia-inhibitory factor; PDGF: platelet-derived growth factor; Ang2: angiopoietin2; TGFβ: transforming growth factor β.
