NK cells are dysfunctional in human chronic myelogenous leukemia before and on imatinib treatment and in BCR–ABL-positive mice [PDF]
Although BCR-ABL+ stem cells in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) resist elimination by targeted pharmacotherapy in most patients, immunological graft-versus-leukemia effects can cure the disease. Besides cytotoxic T cells, natural killer (NK) cells may have a role in immune control of CML.

Induction of apoptosis by shikonin through a ROS/JNK-mediated process in Bcr/Abl-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) cells [PDF]
This study examined the signaling events induced by shikonin that lead to the induction of apoptosis in Bcr/Abl-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) cells (e.g., K562, LAMA84). Treatment of K562 cells with shikonin (e.g., 0.5 muM) resulted in profound induction of apoptosis accompanied by rapid generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS ...

Targeting BCR-Abl in the treatment of Philadelphia-chromosome positive chronic myelogenous leukemia
Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is an indolent malignant hematological disease that accounts for about 15% of all cases of leukemia. This disorder results from the formation of the Philadelphia chromosome that involves a reciprocal translocation that produces a lengthened chromosome 9 and shortened chromosome 22 - the Philadelphia chromosome.

T-Lymphoblastic Leukemia With t(9;22): Blast Phase of Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia or BCR-ABL- Positive T-Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia? [PDF]
T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (T-ALL) as chronic myelogenous leukemia blast phase (CML-BP) is rare. BCR-ABL–positive T-ALL is extremely rare. In patients without previous/concurrent history of CML, it is difficult to differentiate these 2 entities. Herein we report 3 cases of T-ALL with t(9;22) and review the literature.

A phase 2 study of MK-0457 in patients with BCR-ABL T315I mutant chronic myelogenous leukemia and philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia [PDF]
Aurora kinase overexpression has been observed in patients with hematologic malignancies. MK-0457, a pan-aurora kinase inhibitor that also inhibits the ABL T315I mutant, was evaluated to treat patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) or Philadelphia chromosome (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with the T315I mutation.

Long persistent bcr-abl positive transcript detected by polymerase chain reaction after marrow transplant for chronic myelogenous leukemia without clinical relapse: a study of 64 patients [PDF]
Abstract We report here the results of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for bcr- abl transcript and clinical details derived from 64 chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) patients after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). A total of 139 samples (2 to 220 weeks after BMT) were analyzed and bcr-abl transcript was detected in 99 ...

Proliferating status of peripheral blood progenitor cells from patients with BCR/ABL-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia [PDF]
To investigate the mechanisms behind the leukemic expansion of BCR/ABL-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), we examined the cell cycle status of hematopoietic progenitor cells from peripheral blood (PB) and bone marrow (BM) of 37 patients with newly diagnosed BCR/ABL-positive CML.

Synergistic activity of the new ABL-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor STI571 and chemotherapeutic drugs on BCR-ABL-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia cells [PDF]
The ABL-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor STI571 (formerly CGP57148B) induced cytogenetic remissions in 33% of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) patients in a phase I trial (Druker et al 1999). Combination therapy may increase this proportion. We tested whether combinations of STI571 and cytarabine or other chemotherapeutic agents such as hydroxyurea,
