ONC212 enhances YM155 cytotoxicity by triggering SLC35F2 expression and NOXA-dependent MCL1 degradation in acute myeloid leukemia cells
In this study, we investigated the apoptotic mechanism of ONC212 in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. ONC212 induces apoptosis, MCL1 downregulation, and mitochondrial depolarization in AML U937 cells. Ectopic MCL1 expression alleviates mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in ONC212-treated U937 cells. ONC212 triggers AKT phosphorylation, inducing NOX4-dependent ROS production and promoting HuR transcription. HuR-mediated ATF4 mRNA stabilization stimulates NOXA and SLC35F2 expression; ONC212-induced upregulation of NOXA leads to MCL1 degradation. The synergistic effect of ONC212 on YM155 cytotoxicity was dependent on increased...

Proteomic Analysis Reveals Trilaciclib-Induced Senescence
Mol Cell Proteomics. 2024 Apr 26:100778. doi: 10.1016/j.mcpro.2024.100778. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTrilaciclib, a CDK4/6 inhibitor, was approved as a myeloprotective agent for protecting bone marrow from chemotherapy-induced damage in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). This is achieved through the induction of a temporary halt in the cell cycle of bone marrow cells. While it has been studied in various cancer types, its potential in haematological cancers remains unexplored. This research aimed to investigate the efficacy of trilaciclib in haematological cancers. Utilizing mass spectrometry-based prote...

Acute mixed-lineage leukemia treated with desensitization therapy prior to HLA-haploidentical transplantation with high donor-specific antibodies

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 43-year-old woman was referred to our department for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia, as she failed to achieve remission following induction therapy. Umbilical cord blood transplantation was initially planned; however, multiple anti-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies with a mean fluorescence intensity of over 10,000 were detected, and optimal umbilical cord blood could not be obtained. The plan was then switched to peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) from the patient's son, wh...

Myelodysplastic Neoplasms (MDS): The Current and Future Treatment Landscape
Curr Oncol. 2024 Apr 3;31(4):1971-1993. doi: 10.3390/curroncol31040148.ABSTRACTMyelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS) are a heterogenous clonal disorder of hemopoietic stem cells characterized by cytomorphologic dysplasia, ineffective hematopoiesis, peripheral cytopenias and risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Our understanding of this disease has continued to evolve over the last century. More recently, prognostication and treatment have been determined by cytogenetic and molecular data. Specific genetic abnormalities, such as deletion of the long arm of chromosome 5 (del(5q)), TP53 inactivation and SF3B1 mutati...

RNF138 inhibits transcription factor C/EBP α protein turnover leading to differentiation arrest in AML
Biochem J. 2024 Apr 26:BCJ20240027. doi: 10.1042/BCJ20240027. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTE3 ubiquitin ligase, ring finger protein 138 (RNF138) is involved in several biological processes; however, its role in myeloid differentiation or tumorigenesis remains unclear. RNAseq data from TNMplot showed that RNF138 mRNA levels are highly elevated in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) bone marrow samples as compared to bone marrow of normal volunteers. Here, we show that RNF138 serves as an E3 ligase for the tumor suppressor CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBPα) and promotes its degradation leading to myeloid differentiation arre...
