Differential roles of STAT1 and STAT2 in the sensitivity of JAK2V617F- vs. BCR-ABL-positive cells to interferon alpha [PDF]
Background Interferon alpha (IFNa) monotherapy is recommended as the standard therapy in polycythemia vera (PV) but not in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Here, we investigated the mechanisms of IFNa efficacy in JAK2V617F- vs.

Pterostilbene downregulates BCR/ABL and induces apoptosis of T315I-mutated BCR/ABL-positive leukemic cells [PDF]
In this study, we examined the antileukemic effects of pterostilbene, a natural methylated polyphenol analog of resveratrol that is predominantly found in berries and nuts, using various human and murine leukemic cells, as well as bone marrow samples ...

EPS8 regulates proliferation, apoptosis and chemosensitivity in BCR-ABL positive cells via the BCR-ABL/PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. [PDF]
Although the introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors greatly improved the survival of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), drug resistance remains a problem. Thus, mechanism-based novel therapeutic targets warrant exploration. Recently, epidermal growth factor receptor kinase substrate 8 (EPS8), which has been identified as an oncogene and ...

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors in BCR-ABL positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia. [PDF]
Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)/BCR/ABL-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common genetic abnormality associated with adult ALL and has been shown to confer the worst prognosis to both children and adults.[1][1],[2][2] Approximately 3%–5% children and 25%–40% adults with ...

BCR/ABL positive thrombocythemia: a diagnostic dilemma
Both chronic myeloid leukemia and essential thrombocythemia are part of the spectrum of myeloproliferative neoplasm. Therefore, considerable overlap may occur in the clinical manifestations, and hematological and molecular findings in some patients.

Case report: BCR-ABL-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia with bone destruction: a treatment dilemma [PDF]
Although bone destruction and hypercalcemia without acute peripheral blast BCR-ABL-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have been reported in children, they are rare in adults.

Protein Kinase CK2: A Targetable BCR-ABL Partner in Philadelphia Positive Leukemias [PDF]
BCR-ABL-mediated leukemias, either Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) or Philadelphia positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), are the paradigm of targeted molecular therapy of cancer due to the impressive clinical responses obtained with BCR-ABL ...

Durable MRD-Negative Remission With Blinatumomab and Venetoclax in Heavily Pretreated Relapsed/Refractory Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are standard therapy for Philadelphia chromosome‐positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL); however, relapsed or refractory disease remains challenging due to resistance driven by ABL kinase domain mutations.
