Development of a Novel Polyleucine‐Based Immunopotentiator for Subunit Vaccines Against Group A Streptococcus

Small, EarlyView.
Self‐assembling amphiphilic peptide L15K6 is used as a novel immunoadjuvant for the development of a Group A Streptococcus vaccine. Robust antigen‐specific IgG responses are generated and manage to kill isolated strains of Group A Streptococcus. Cellular and bulk RNA sequencing data reveals that L15K6 regulates immune responses potentially through TLR ...

TRANSFORMATION OF CHRONIC MYELOMONOCYTIC LEUKEMIA TO ACUTE MONOCYTIC LEUKEMIA IN AN ELDERLY PATIENT: A CASE REPORT

Hematology, Transfusion and Cell Therapy
Introduction: Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a clonal hematopoietic disorder that exhibits both myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative features. Progression to acute monocytic leukemia is a notable complication, especially in elderly patients.

The effects of photodynamic therapy on leukemia cells mediated by KillerRed, a genetically encoded fluorescent protein photosensitizer

BMC Cancer, 2019
Background Leukemia is a cancer of blood and bone marrow cells, causing about 300,000 deaths worldwide. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising alternative for the treatment of malignant tumors.

Securinine, a myeloid differentiation agent with therapeutic potential for AML. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
As the defining feature of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a maturation arrest, a highly desirable therapeutic strategy is to induce leukemic cell maturation. This therapeutic strategy has the potential of avoiding the significant side effects that occur

Acute Monocytic Leukaemia with Cutaneous Manifestation

Journal of Cutaneous Pathology, 2005
A 50‐year‐old Caucasian male presented with generalised skin rash. Gingival hyperplasia and hepatosplenomegaly were also noted. His laboratory data showed hemoglobin of 10.3 g/dL, white blood cell count of 203.6 K/uL and platelet count of 72 K/uL. Peripheral blood smears revealed that 67% of the white blood cells was monoblasts, 25% was promonocytes ...

Solamargine induces acute myeloid leukemia differentiation through TLR8 activation

VIEW, EarlyView.
SM, a steroidal alkaloid from Solanum nigrum L. has shown anticancer effect on various kinds of human cancer cells, yet its effect on leukemia cells remains unclear. This study examines antileukemic activities of SM in AML cells. Results indicate SM inhibits growth and promotes apoptosis of AML cells.

B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia with t(4;11)(q21;q23) in a young woman: evolution into mixed phenotype acute leukemia with additional chromosomal aberrations in the course of therapy

Hematology Reports, 2012
About 5% of adult B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemias (B-ALL) are characterized by t(4;11)(q21;q23), which confers peculiar features to this B-ALL subtype, including a very immature immunophenotype and poor prognosis.

Targeting MCL‐1 and MAPK overcomes venetoclax resistance in FLT3‐ITD‐positive AML cells harbouring activating PTPN11 (SHP‐2) mutations

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary Venetoclax (VEN)‐based therapies have improved the treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML); however, the emergence of resistance remains a major limitation. Mutations in protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) non‐receptor type 11 (PTPN11) and FMS like tyrosine kinase 3 with internal tandem duplication (FLT3‐ITD) are common in resistant patients ...
