Detection of two alternative bcr/abl mRNA junctions and minimal residual disease in Philadelphia chromosome positive chronic myelogenous leukemia by polymerase chain reaction [PDF]
The Philadelphia (Ph′) chromosome in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) results in fusion of the bcr gene and c-abl oncogene, which transcribes into two types of chimeric bcr/abl mRNAs: the L-6 junction and the K-28 junction. By means of a highly sensitive assay, combination of reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (RT/PCR), we analyzed ...

Inhibition of MDR1 does not sensitize primitive chronic myeloid leukemia CD34+ cells to imatinib [PDF]
<p><b>Objective:</b> To investigate the interaction of imatinib mesylate (IM) with the clinically relevant adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette efflux transporter MDR1 (ABCB1) in cells from patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML)

BACKGROUND: Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a hematological stem cell disorder that associates with mutations in BCR-ABL. Although mutations identified in more than 30 different amino acids, the highest degree of resistance was associated with ...

Review of clinical, cytogenetic, and molecular aspects of Ph-negative CML [PDF]
Between 1985 and 1989, many cases of Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome negative chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) were reported. For this review, the following selection criteria were used: the original articles on Ph-negative cases should provide clinical ...

Several groups have shown that Ph-progenitors reappear in LTC of CML bone marrow or PBMNC when the cell preparations were derived from newly diagnosed Ph-positive patients or after induction chemotherapy. We have tested the hypothesis whether LTC may further decrease CML progenitors if the cells to be cultured were from IFN-treated

Chronic myeloid leukemia-clinical, experimental and health economic studies with special reference to imatinib treatment [PDF]
CML is a malignant disease that originates in the bone marrow stem cell, carrying the Philadelphia chromosome with the BCR-ABL fusion gene. This gene translates into an active tyrosine kinase, Bcr-Abl, affecting hematopoiesis, particularly resulting in ...

Omacetaxine may have a role in chronic myeloid leukaemia eradication through downregulation of Mcl-1 and induction of apoptosis in stem/progenitor cells [PDF]
Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is maintained by a rare population of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-insensitive malignant stem cells. Our long-term aim is to find a BcrAbl-independent drug that can be combined with a TKI to improve overall disease ...

MTSS1 is a critical epigenetically regulated tumor suppressor in CML [PDF]
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is driven by malignant stem cells that can persist despite therapy. We have identified Metastasis suppressor 1 (Mtss1/MIM) to be downregulated in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells from leukemic transgenic SCLtTA/Bcr ...
