Uptake of synthetic low density lipoprotein by leukemic stem cells — a potential stem cell targeted drug delivery strategy [PDF]
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) stem/progenitor cells, which over-express Bcr-Abl, respond to imatinib by a reversible block in proliferation without significant apoptosis.

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)

Nilotinib concentration in cell lines and primary CD34+ chronic myeloid leukemia cells is not mediated by active uptake or efflux by major drug transporters [PDF]
Imatinib mesylate and nilotinib are highly effective at eradicating the majority of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells; however, neither agent induces apoptosis of primitive CML CD34<sup>+</sup> cells.

Assembling defenses against therapy-resistant leukemic stem cells: Bcl6 joins the ranks [PDF]
The resistance of leukemic stem cells in response to targeted therapies such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) relies on the cooperative activity of multiple signaling pathways and molecules, including TGFβ, AKT, and FOXO transcription factors ...

Reciprocal t(9;22) ABL/BCR fusion proteins: leukemogenic potential and effects on B cell commitment
Background: t(9;22) is a balanced translocation, and the chromosome 22 breakpoints (Philadelphia chromosome – Ph+) determine formation of different fusion genes that are associated with either Ph+ acute lymphatic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) or chronic myeloid ...

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 ...

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 ...
