Paediatric onset lymphomatoid papulosis: results of a multicentre retrospective cohort study, on behalf of the EORTC Cutaneous Lymphoma Tumours Group (CLTG)
CONCLUSIONS: We report epidemiological data from a large international cohort of children and adolescents with LyP. Overall the prognosis of the disease is good, with excellent survival rates for all patients. Due to increased risk of associated HM, a long-term follow-up should be recommended for LyP patients.PMID:38595050 | DOI:10.1093/bjd/ljae150 (Source: The British Journal of Dermatology)

Discovery of novel co-degradation CK1 α and CDK7/9 PROTACs with p53 activation for treating acute myeloid leukemia
In this study, we designed and synthesized a series of novel PROTACs to reactivate p53 via the co-degradation of CK1α and CDK7/9 proteins. Bioactivity studies showed that the selected PROTAC 13i exhibited potency antiproliferative activity in MV4-11 (IC50 = 0.096 ± 0.012 μM) and MOLM-13 (IC50 = 0.072 ± 0.014 μM) cells, and induced apoptosis of MV4-11 cells. Western-blot analysis showed that PROTAC 13i triple CK1α and CDK7/9 protein degradation resulted in the significantly increased expression of p53. At the same time, the transcriptional repression due to the degradation significantly reduced downstream gene express...

Pursuing dynamics of minimal residual leukemic subclones in relapsed and refractory acute myeloid leukemia during conventional therapy
ConclusionsIn this study, we observed treatment persistent MR leukemic subclones and their phenotypic changes during the treatment process of R/R AML patients. This underscores the importance of preemptive inhibition of clonal promiscuity in R/R AML, proposing a practical method for monitoring AML MR subclones. (Source: Cancer Medicine)

GSE197276 Identification of an RNA-binding region in 18S dimethyladenosine methyltransferase DIMT1 essential for proliferation of acute myeloid leukemia cells
Contributors : Kathy F Liu ; Julian Stoute ; Yulia Gonskikh ; Hui ShenSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing ; OtherOrganism : Homo sapiensAberrant assembly and function of ribosomes are implicated in cancers, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Here, we find that 18S rRNA methyltransferase DIMT1 is essential for AML proliferation through a non-catalytic function. We demonstrate that a positively charged cleft on DIMT1 plays an important role in RNA binding. Mutations at the identified cleft (5mutA-DIMT1) significantly weakens binding of DIMT1 to rRNA in vitro and in cells. Strikingly, the ...

Efficacy of delayed pegfilgrastim administration following consolidation therapy with high-dose cytarabine (HiDAC) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients
ConclusionA difference in time to neutrophil recovery was not observed between the early and delayed administration groups yet decreased infectious complications may support the delayed administration of pegfilgrastim in these patients. (Source: Supportive Care in Cancer)

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1448: Chromatin Profiles Are Prognostic of Clinical Response to Bortezomib-Containing Chemotherapy in Pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia: Results from the COG AAML1031 Trial
erzah M. Horton Steven M. Kornblau The addition of the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib to standard chemotherapy did not improve survival in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) when all patients were analyzed as a group in the Children’s Oncology Group phase 3 trial AAML1031 (NCT01371981). Proteasome inhibition influences the chromatin landscape and proteostasis, and we hypothesized that baseline proteomic analysis of histone- and chromatin-modifying enzymes (HMEs) would identify AML subgroups that benefitted from bortezomib addition. A proteomic profile of 483 patients treated with AAML1031 chemother...

Exploring the role of GHRH antagonist MIA-602 in overcoming Doxorubicin-resistance in acute myeloid leukemia
Oncotarget. 2024 Apr 8;15:248-254. doi: 10.18632/oncotarget.28579.ABSTRACTAcute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by the rapid proliferation of mutagenic hematopoietic progenitors in the bone marrow. Conventional therapies include chemotherapy and bone marrow stem cell transplantation; however, they are often associated with poor prognosis. Notably, growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) receptor antagonist MIA-602 has been shown to impede the growth of various human cancer cell lines, including AML. This investigation examined the impact of MIA-602 as monotherapy and in combination with Doxorubicin on three Doxorub...
