T cell-mediated tumor killing sensitivity gene signature-based prognostic score for acute myeloid leukemia
ConclusionA T-cell mediated killing sensitivity gene-based prognostic score TTKPI showed good accuracy in predicting survival in AML. TTKPI corresponded to functional and immunological features of the tumor microenvironment including checkpoint expression patterns and should be investigated for precision medicine approaches.

Increased co-expression of ICOS and PD-1 predicts poor overall survival in patients with acute myeloid leukemia
CONCLUSION: Increased expression of ICOS predicted poor outcomes, and ICOS/PD-1 was the optimal combination of ICs to predict outcomes in patients with AML, which might be a potential immune biomarker for designing novel AML therapy.PMID:38615511 | DOI:10.1016/j.imbio.2024.152804 (Source: Immunobiology)

What is new in acute myeloid leukemia classification?
Blood Res. 2024 Apr 15;59(1):15. doi: 10.1007/s44313-024-00016-8.ABSTRACTRecently, the International Consensus Classification (ICC) and the 5th edition of the World Health Organization classification (WHO2022) introduced diagnostically similar yet distinct approaches, which has resulted in practical confusion. This review compares these classification systems for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), building up on the revised 4th edition of WHO (WHO2016). Both classifications retain recurrent genetic abnormalities as a primary consideration. However, they differ in terms of blast threshold. The ICC mandates a minimum of 10% blast...

Role of reactive oxygen species in myelodysplastic syndromes
Cell Mol Biol Lett. 2024 Apr 14;29(1):53. doi: 10.1186/s11658-024-00570-0.ABSTRACTReactive oxygen species (ROS) serve as typical metabolic byproducts of aerobic life and play a pivotal role in redox reactions and signal transduction pathways. Contingent upon their concentration, ROS production not only initiates or stimulates tumorigenesis but also causes oxidative stress (OS) and triggers cellular apoptosis. Mounting literature supports the view that ROS are closely interwoven with the pathogenesis of a cluster of diseases, particularly those involving cell proliferation and differentiation, such as myelodysplastic syndro...

GSE239469 Condensate-promoting ENL mutation induces tumorigenesis via chromatin remodeling [RNA-seq]
Contributors : Liling Wan ; Yiman Liu ; Qinglan LiSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Mus musculusGain-of-function mutations in the chromatin ‘reader’ ENL, identified in AML and Wilms tumor, have been shown to induce aberrant formation of transcriptional condensates in cellular systems. However, the precise role of these mutations and their condensate forming property in tumorigenesis remains unclear. By creating a conditional knock-i n mouse model for the most prevalent ENL mutation, we establish ENL mutant as a bona fide oncogenic driver of acute myeloid leukemia in vivo. Het...

Generation and characterization of the iPS cell line (SYSUSHi001-A) derived from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of a 33-year-old patient with acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
Stem Cell Res. 2024 Feb 23;77:103360. doi: 10.1016/j.scr.2024.103360. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe successfully developed an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line, SYSUSHi001-A, from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of a patient with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, harboring two genetic mutations (XPO1: c.591-4_591-3dupTT; PALB2: c.3296C > T; p.T1099M). This iPSC line was facilitated through the use of episomal plasmids encoding OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, L-MYC, and human miR-302. The SYSUSHi001-A iPSC line exhibited characteristic embryonic stem cell-like morphology, maintained the XPO1 and PALB2 mutations, express...

Fucosylation inhibitor 6-alkynylfucose enhances the ATRA-induced differentiation effect on acute promyelocytic leukemia cells
In this study, we investigated the effects of combinations of glycosylation inhibitors with ATRA to achieve better efficiency than ATRA alone. We found that the combination of fucosylation inhibitor 6-alkynylfucose (6AF) and ATRA had an additional effect on cell differentiation, as revealed by expression changes in two differentiation markers, CD11b and CD11c, and significant morphological changes in NB4 APL and HL-60 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. In AAL lectin blot analyses, ATRA or 6AF alone could decrease fucosylation, while their combination decreased fucosylation more efficiently. To clarify the molecular mechan...
