Abstract

Redox regulation and thiol balance have critical roles in multiple pathways that control myeloproliferation, hematopoietic progenitor cell mobilization, and immune response. Development of redox-modulating anticancer drugs is frequently limited by dose-limiting toxicities including myelosuppression and immunosuppression. This chapter discusses the role of redox status and the equilibrium of free thiol-disulfide couples in the bone marrow niche environment and how certain classes of drugs modulate hematopoiesis and the immune response.
