Differentiation in myelodysplastic, myeloid leukaemic and normal haemopoietic cells: a new approach exploiting the synergistic interaction between differentiation inducers and DNA synthesis inhibitors.
The normal haemopoietic system behaves as if proliferation and the differentiation transitions on and between the granulocytic, erythroid and other lineages are stochastic events governed by probabilities determined by the levels of growth and differentiation stimuli [1]. Recent studies of myeloid leukaemic and myelodysplastic (AML and MDS) cells suggest that, in contrast to cell lines, there i...
متن کاملInhibitory receptors on myeloid cells: new targets for therapy?
Immune regulation of cellular activation is a tightly regulated process dictated by a balance of activation and inhibitory signals. Although initially described and characterized on natural killer cells, it has become increasingly apparent that inhibitory receptors are expressed and functional on myeloid cells. These receptors can override signals elicited by activation pathways including cytok...
متن کاملDifferentiation Therapy of Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a predominant acute leukemia among adults, characterized by accumulation of malignantly transformed immature myeloid precursors. A very attractive way to treat myeloid leukemia, which is now called 'differentiation therapy', was proposed as in vitro studies have shown that a variety of agents stimulate differentiation of the cell lines isolated from leukemic pati...
متن کاملRetinoid Differentiation Therapy for Common Types of Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Many cancers arise in a tissue stem cell, and cell differentiation is impaired resulting in an accumulation of immature cells. The introduction of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) in 1987 to treat acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), a rare subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), pioneered a new approach to obtain remission in malignancies by restoring the terminal maturation of leukemia cells re...
متن کاملDifferentiation of Murine Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells
Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are frequently defined as a heterogeneous population of immature cells belonging to the myeloid lineage which possess strong immunosuppressive activities. These cells ultimately derive from myeloid progenitors mainly present in the bone marrow that undergo a dysregulated differentiation pathway, ending up with the systemic mobilization of MDSCs of “monoc...
