Abstract: The bone marrow microenvironment is a complex network structure composed of non-hematopoietic cells,hematopoietic stem cells,extracellular matrix,and various cytokines,which is beneficial to maintain normal hematopoietic function in the body.Once bone marrow microenvironment changes,the types and functions of cells in the bone marrow will change, thereby causing the occurrence of leukemia.Leukemia is a malignant clonal disease that is not only related to abnormal proliferation and differentiation of tumor cells,but also closely related to immune dysfunction.Exosomes,immune cells,mesenchymal cells and bone marrow stromal cells(BMSCs)in the bone marrow microenvironment all have immunoregulation effects and can participate in the formation of immune suppression in leukemia,leading to disease progression.Therefore,this article aims to review the mechanism and effects of bone marrow microenvironment on the pathogenesis of leukemia so as to provide new ideas for leukemia treatment.
