Deciphering the Pathogenesis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a malignant disorder of the blood system. Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) supply and maintain this system by differentiating via intermediates into lineage-restricted progenitors that strongly proliferate to keep up with the high turn-over of mature blood cells. In …

Treatment Response Prediction in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients
Predicting acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patient treatment response has the potential to impact clinical decisions. A prediction given at the time of diagnosis for treatment response can assist physicians in making effective treatment decisions and improving patient prognosis. This project aimed to …

NON-GENETIC MECHANISMS OF CHEMORESISTANCE IN ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is the most common type of acute hematological malignancy in adults. 40–60% of patients relapse due to the emergence of cellular resistance to anti- leukemic drugs. Drug resistance in leukemic cells has been associated with intratumoral heterogeneity, among which …

The Cell-Essentiality of KAT7 in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive hematopoietic malignancy, characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation and differentiation arrest of myeloid progenitors. Chemotherapy has been the front-line treatment for decades and cure remains elusive for the majority of AML patients. …

CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR MECHANISMS OF CHEMORESISTANCE IN ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) remains an incurable disease, with a 5-year survival rate below 30%. While the introduction of new therapeutic approaches, such as targeted therapies and immunotherapy, has had a modest impact on AML prognosis, the standard treatment of AML is still based on …

Targeting Apoptotic Pathways to Overcome Drug Resistance In Acute Myeloid Leukemia
… find that BCL-2 protein is highly expressed in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. BCL-2–specific inhibitor ABT-199 potently induces mitochondrial apoptosis in AML cells and effectively kills AML stem/progenitor cells. Our biomarker studies demonstrate that both BH3 profiling and the expression …

Aberrant epigenetics in the molecular pathogenesis of human acute myeloid leukemia
… silenced by promoter hypermethylation in human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and to study the mechanism of promoter hypermethylation mediated gene silencing. Interestingly, the cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor p15 was found to be methylated at a high frequency in AML patients and cell lines in …

Inhibition of Mitochondrial Translation as a Therapeutic Strategy for Acute Myeloid Leukemia
… translation as a therapeutic strategy for acute myeloid leukemia Marko Škrtić Doctor of Philosophy Institute of Medical Science University of Toronto 2012 Abstract Intro: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) therapies have remained unchanged for 20 years, and thus new therapies are needed. …

Preclinical Studies of A Novel Idh1 Inhibitor In Acute Myeloid Leukemia (Aml)
… Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) inhibitor in Acute Myeloid Leukemia, it</strong> <strong>is more effective than Ivosidenib (AG120) and has a potent anti-leukemic effect against IDH1 mutant acute myeloid leukemia in combination with Venetoclax (ABT-199).</strong></p> <p>Acute myeloid Leukemia …

Oncogenic roles of RAS in acute myeloid leukemia cooperated with Mll-AF9.
… hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) as well as myeloid and lymphoid lineages by live mouse imaging and relative light unit measurement before or after treating Vav-tTA ; TRE -luciferase co-transgenic mice with doxycycline (Dox). We found that B cells in the bone marrow and T cells in the thymus …

Cytogenetic abnormalities in Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Sweden. A population based study.
The impact of cytogenetic findings in AML was analyzed in the large population-based Swedish AML registry. Karyotypic patterns differed by age: t(8;21), inv(16) and t(11q23) were more common in younger patients, whereas loss of 5q, 7q and 17p, monosomal karyotype (MK) and complex karyotype (CK) …

AML1/ETO Downregulates the Transcription Factor PU.1 in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
… by the translocation t(8;21) and found in 15% of acute myeloid leukemia patients. Here, we report a negative functional impact of AML1-ETO on the transcriptional activity of PU.1, an important transcription factor for normal myeloid differentiation. We have demonstrated that AML1-ETO interacts …

Gene Repression and Cell Cycle Regulation by PU.1 in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is associated with mutations or chromosomal translocations in genes encoding transcription factors. PU.1 is a transcription factor that is required for the development of nearly all white blood cell types of the immune system, including B cells, granulocytes, and …

Identifying Mechanisms Of Resistance And Potential Therapeutic Targets For Pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia
<p>Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a potentially devastating disease that can affect people of all ages. While there are certain patient groups that typically have favorable outcomes, in the pediatric population, overall survival (OS) is approximately 70%, leaving much progress to be made. Children …

Concomitant Inhibition of Flt3 and Mcl-1 In Flt3 Mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia
… in preclinical human models of FLT3-ITD mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Acute Myeloid leukemia (AML) is a neoplastic blood disorder defined by a characteristically rapid growth rate and altered behavior of myeloid cells in the bone marrow. The FLT3 receptor is responsible for the upstream …

AMP-ACTIVATED PROTEIN KINASE AND ITS ROLE IN THERAPEUTIC RESPONSE IN ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive cancer of the bone marrow characterized by poor prognosis and resistance to chemotherapy. The way in which cancerous cells are able to metabolically adapt to various physiological and metabolic stressors allows them to thrive and proliferate. A leading …

THE METHIONINE CYCLE AS A NOVEL THERAPEUTIC TARGET IN NPM1C DRIVEN ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common leukemia in adults and its prognosis is usually poor. Patients are still treated with conventional chemotherapy, which induces disease cure in <40% of patients. The main culprit of therapy failure is the genomic and biological heterogeneity of the …
