Bortezomib suppresses acute myelogenous leukaemia stem-like KG-1a cells via NF- κB inhibition and the induction of oxidative stress
J Cell Mol Med. 2024 Apr;28(8):e18333. doi: 10.1111/jcmm.18333.ABSTRACTAcute myelogenous leukaemia (AML) originates and is maintained by leukaemic stem cells (LSCs) that are inherently resistant to antiproliferative therapies, indicating that a critical strategy for overcoming chemoresistance in AML therapy is to eradicate LSCs. In this work, we investigated the anti-AML activity of bortezomib (BTZ), emphasizing its anti-LSC potential, using KG-1a cells, an AML cell line with stem-like properties. BTZ presented potent cytotoxicity to both solid and haematological malignancy cells and reduced the stem-like features of KG-1a...

Clin Cancer Res. 2024 Apr 23. doi: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-24-0460. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExpansion of cDC cells via FLT3 agonism has promising therapeutic potential in the treatment of advanced solid tumors. Here, we discuss the results of a clinical trial using GS-3583, an FLT3 agonist, that was stopped after a patient in the study developed acute myeloid leukemia.PMID:38652676 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-24-0460 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)

GSE239350 Identifying STRN3-RARA as a new fusion gene for acute promyelocytic leukemia [RNA-seq 2]
Contributors : Xuelan Chen ; Qi Zhang ; Chong Chen ; Yu LiuSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Homo sapiens ; Mus musculusAcute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a distinct subtype of acute myeloid leukemia, that is generally driven by PML-RARA, resulting from a balanced chromosomal translocation t(15;17) (q24.1;q21.2). However, approximately 2% of APL patients carry other variants of RARA-fusions, which pose challenges for diagnosis and treatment. Here, we report a novel t(14;17) translocation in an APL patient that gave rise to a new fusion gene, STRN3-RARA. STRN3 forms a complex ...

Clinical outcomes and treatment patterns in adults with FLT3-ITDmut+ acute myeloid leukemia undergoing allogeneic hemopoietic cell transplantation in the US and Canada
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is considered a genetically heterogeneous disease, with different AML subtypes associated with distinct outcomes.1 Internal tandem duplications of the FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) gene (FLT3-ITD) are present in approximately 25% of patients with AML and are associated with higher rates of relapse and shorter overall survival.2,3 In these patients, allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) represents a potentially curative treatment option.4 (Source: Biology of Blood and Marrow Transplantation)

p53 immunohistochemistry as an ancillary tool for rapid assessment of residual disease in TP53-mutated acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes
CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggests that p53 IHC can be used as a rapid tool (within 24 hours) to aid in the detection of residual disease that may complement MRD-FC or NGS in cases in which the flow cytometry immunophenotype is equivocal and/or the bone marrow aspirate is suboptimal.PMID:38643353 | DOI:10.1093/ajcp/aqae034 (Source: American Journal of Clinical Pathology)

GSE263911 AML1-ETO and CCND2 overexpression ¬ cooperate to drive acute myeloid leukemia initiation and progression
In conclusion, we confirmed that introduction of the CCND2 gene into the AML/ETO pre-leukemia mice can trigger the development of leukemia. We also confirmed that CCND2 overexpression resulted in the upregulation of the mTOR pathway and inhibiting the pathway may be a therapeutic agent for this subtype of leukemia.
