Zebularine-Resistant Human Cytidine Deaminase Mutants for Optimal Chemoprotection of Hematopoietic Stem Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common type of acute leukemia. According to the National Cancer Institute, the new cases and deaths from AML in the United States in 2016 are estimated to be approximately 19,990 and 13,400, respectively, with a 5 year survival rate of only about 26.6% (http://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/amyl. html). Thus, there is an urgent need to find more effective ways to improve the clinical treatment of AML.

Chemoprotection of murine hematopoietic cells by combined gene transfer of cytidine deaminase (CDD) and multidrug resistance 1 gene (MDR1)
BACKGROUND Hematologic toxicity represents a major side effect of cytotoxic chemotherapy frequently preventing adequately dosed chemotherapy application and impeding therapeutic success. Transgenic (over)expression of chemotherapy resistance (CTX-R) genes in hematopoietic stem- and progenitor cells represents a potential strategy to overcome this problem. To apply this concept in the context of...
متن کاملThe double-edged sword of activation-induced cytidine deaminase.
Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is required for Ig class switch recombination, a process that introduces DNA double-strand breaks in B cells. We show in this study that AID associates with the DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) promoting cell survival, presumably by resolving DNA double-strand breaks. Wild-type cells expressing AID mutants that fail to associa...
متن کاملAdvances and challenges in storage, transplantation, expansion and homing of Umbilical Cord Blood Hematopoietic Stem Cells (UCB-HSCs)
Abstract Background and Objectives Umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cells (UCB-HSCs) have high potential capabilities in the treatment of hematological and non-hematological disorders. Awareness of biology, self-renewal, homing, expansion, storage, and transplantation can lead to optimal use of these cells. Materials and Methods In this Review article in order to investigate the adv...
متن کاملAcquired resistance to decitabine and cross-resistance to gemcitabine during the long-term treatment of human HCT116 colorectal cancer cells with decitabine
The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of long-term exposure of decitabine (DAC) to HCT116 colorectal cancer (CRC) cells on the acquisition of resistance to DAC as well as cross-resistance to anticancer drugs used for CRC or other epigenetic modifiers. In the present study, DAC-resistant HCT116 CRC cells were established through long-term treatment with increasing concentrati...
متن کاملA Review of Procedures Involved in Human Umbilical Cord Blood Banking and Transplantation
Cord blood hematopoietic stem cells are widely used as an alternative source for hematopoietic stem cells transplant. Increasing rate of patients who need hematopoietic stem cells transplant and many advantages of cord blood in comparison to bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells, have promoted banking of cord blood units. Cord blood banking requires accurate steps in donor selection, cord blood ...
