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.

Several different cytogenetic clones arising during treatment of Philadelphia positive chronic myeloid leukemia with tyrosine kinase inhibitors lead to the progression into Philadelphia negative acute myeloid leukemia [PDF]
Introduction. Additional karyotype abnormalities in the Philadelphia-positive (Ph+) clone can emerge during the progression of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and are of-ten associated with the resistance to treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI).

A Case with Coexistence of Major and Minor BCR/ABL Fusion Transcript at Lymphoblastic Crisis of Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in Patients with Major BCR/ ABL Positivity during Chronic Phase [PDF]
Dear Editor CML is characterized by the clonal expansion of bone marrow hematopoietic cells and is associated with the Philadelphia chromosome [1]. The accelerated phase of CML, which is also known as the blast crisis phase, occurs in patients as the disease progresses.

Chronic myeloid leukemia stem cells are not dependent on Bcr-Abl kinase activity for their survival [PDF]
Recent evidence suggests CML stem cells are insensitive to kinase inhibitors and responsible for minimal residual disease in treated patients. We investigated whether CML stem cells, in a transgenic mouse model of CML-like disease or derived from ...

Nilotinib treatment in mouse models of P190 Bcr/Abl lymphoblastic leukemia
Background Ph-positive leukemias are caused by the aberrant fusion of the BCR and ABL genes. Nilotinib is a selective Bcr/Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor related to imatinib, which is widely used to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia.

Bcr/Abl Interferes with the Fanconi Anemia/BRCA Pathway: Implications in the Chromosomal Instability of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Cells [PDF]
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a malignant clonal disorder of the hematopoietic system caused by the expression of the BCR/ABL fusion oncogene. Although it is well known that CML cells are genetically unstable, the mechanisms accounting for this ...
