Associations of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor with toxicities and efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy in relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia
In conclusion, our results showed that G-CSF administration was not associated with the incidence or severity of CRS in patients with low BM tumor burden, but the incidence o f CRS was higher after G-CSF administration in patients with high BM tumor burden. The duration of CRS was prolonged in G-CSF group. G-CSF administration was not associated with the efficacy of CAR T-cell therapy. (Source: Cancer Immunology, Immunotherapy)

Immunotherapy-resistant acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells exhibit reduced CD19 and CD22 expression and BTK pathway dependency
While therapies targeting CD19 by antibodies, chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T), and T cell engagers have improved the response rates in B cell malignancies, the emergence of resistant cell populations with low CD19 expression can lead to relapsed disease. We developed an in vitro model of adaptive resistance facilitated by chronic exposure of leukemia cells to a CD19 immunotoxin. Single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) showed an increase in transcriptionally distinct CD19lo populations among resistant cells. Mass cytometry demonstrated that CD22 was also decreased in these CD19lo-resistant cells. An assay for transposase-...

Hyperactive STAT5 hijacks T cell receptor signaling and drives immature T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia
T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive immature T cell cancer. Mutations in IL7R have been analyzed genetically, but downstream effector functions such as STAT5A and STAT5B hyperactivation are poorly understood. Here, we studied the most frequent and clinically challenging STAT5BN642H driver in T cell development and immature T cell cancer onset and compared it with STAT5A hyperactive variants in transgenic mice. Enhanced STAT5 activity caused disrupted T cell development and promoted an early T cell progenitor–ALL phenotype, with upregulation of genes involved in T cell receptor (TCR) signaling, ev...

Adult survivors ’ perception of their childhood and the influences of being treated for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia with allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation as a child: a phenomenographic study
Adults who had acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) as children and were treated with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) may have been affected in their lives due to several long-term complications. From a clinical point of view, it is of interest to study how survivors describe their perceptions of their childhood today. The aim was therefore to describe how adults perceived their childhood and the influences of being treated for ALL with aHSCT as a child. (Source: European Journal of Oncology Nursing)

Frontline combination of dasatinib and low-intensity chemotherapy in adults with de novo Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that dasatinib-based low-intensity chemotherapy is safe and effective as an induction strategy in the Chinese population. Allo-HSCT plays a crucial role in the long-term outcomes of patients with Ph+ ALL.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: The trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT02690922.PMID:38616308 | DOI:10.1080/17474086.2024.2343885 (Source: Expert Review of Hematology)

Contributors : Richard L Frock ; Valeria Rangel ; Jason N Sterrenberg ; Nicholas R PannunzioSeries Type : OtherOrganism : Homo sapiensActivation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is a B cell-specific base editor required during class switch recombination and somatic hypermutation for B cell maturation and antibody diversification. However, it has also been implicated as a factor in the etiology of several B cell malignancies. Evaluating the AID-induced mutation load in patients at-risk for certain types of blood cancers is critical in assessing disease severity and treatment options. Here, we have developed a digital PCR (...
