Glutathione S-transferases Null Genotype in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia
Background: The glutathione S-transferase (GST) family of metabolising enzymes plays an important role in the detoxification of mutagens and carcinogens. The expression of many of these cancer susceptibility enzymes is genetically polymorphic. An increased frequency of GST-null genotypes has been associated with several malignancies. Objective: To investigate the rate of GSTT1 and GSTM1 null ge...
متن کاملCharacterization of CEBPA mutations and promoter hypermethylation in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia.
BACKGROUND Dysfunctioning of CCAAT/enhancer binding protein α (C/EBPα) in acute myeloid leukemia can be caused, amongst others, by mutations in the encoding gene (CEBPA) and by promoter hypermethylation. CEBPA-mutated acute myeloid leukemia is associated with a favorable outcome, but this may be restricted to the case of double mutations in CEBPA in adult acute myeloid leukemia. In pediatric ac...
متن کاملUnfolded protein response suppresses CEBPA by induction of calreticulin in acute myeloid leukaemia
The unfolded protein response (UPR) is triggered by the accumulation of misfolded proteins within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The role of the UPR during leukemogenesis is unknown so far. Here, we studied the induction of mediators of the UPR in leukaemic cells of AML patients. Increased expression of the spliced variant of the X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1s) was detected in 17.4% (16 of 92)...
متن کاملClinical relevance of mutant NPM1 and CEBPA in patients with acute myeloid leukaemia – preliminary report
AIM OF THE STUDY Mutant NPM1 and CEBPA have been reported in patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and intermediate cytogenetic risk, and they appear to be associated with characteristic demographic and laboratory data, as well as clinical outcome. The objective of the study was to assess the clinical relevance of NPM1 and CEBPA mutations in AML. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective ...
متن کاملExpression Profiling of Microarray Gene Signatures in Acute and Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia in Human Bone Marrow
Background Classification of cancer subtypes by means of microarray signatures is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore as a potential to transform pathological diagnosis nonetheless, measurement of Indicator genes in routine practice appears to be arduous. In a preceding published study, we utilized real-time PCR measurement of Indicator genes in acute lymphoid leukaemia (ALL) and acute m...
