The authors found ML CD34+/C38− cells with absent NF1 expression nsitive to treatment with rapamycin, thus implicatTOR as a therapeutic target within the leukemiating compartment of a small subgroup of adult atients. L is a highly malignant hematopoietic neoplasm, cterized by a poor prognosis, especially in older ts. In addition to age, the major prognostic marker genetics, and the mutational status of selected genes NPM1, FLT3) strongly influence prognosis in the of AML cases that are cytogenetically normal (2). eatment of AML has changed little in the past several es, and the discovery of additional leukemia-initiating in this disease has the potential to identify novel theric targets. The approach employed by Parkin and gues (1), using high-density single nucleotide polyism (SNP) microarrays to identify chromosomal loci ecurrent somatic copy number abnormalities, has d successful in this regard, and was used to identify and c-CBL as pathogenic genes in myeloid malignan, 4). kin and colleagues report on their detailed investigaf purified leukemic blasts and paired buccal DNA les from 95 adult AML patients, the majority of mary AML and were untreated (1).

Anthelmintic Niclosamide Disrupts the Interplay of p65 and FOXM1/β-catenin and Eradicates Leukemia Stem Cells in Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia.

PURPOSE Leukemia stem cells (LSC), which are insensitive to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), are an important source of TKI resistance and disease relapse in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). Obstacles to eradicating LSCs include limited understanding of the regulation network of LSCs. The current study aimed to examine the interplay between NF-κB and FOXM1/β-catenin, and the effect of its c...

Molecular mechanism of desensitization of the chemokine receptor CCR-5: receptor signaling and internalization are dissociable from its role as an HIV-1 co-receptor.

The chemokine receptor, CCR-5, a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) which mediates chemotactic responses of certain leukocytes, has been shown to serve as the primary co-receptor for macrophage-tropic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Here we describe functional coupling of CCR-5 to inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cAMP formation via a pertussis toxin-sensitive G(i) protein mechanis...

CCR 20th anniversary commentary: Preclinical study of proteasome inhibitor bortezomib in head and neck cancer.

In a study published in the May 1, 2001, issue of Clinical Cancer Research, Sunwoo and colleagues provided evidence for proteasome inhibition of NF-κB and tumorigenesis, supporting early-phase clinical trials in solid malignancies of the upper aerodigestive tract. Subsequent clinical studies uncovered a dichotomy of responses in patients with hematopoietic and solid malignancies, and the mechan...

Neuropeptide substance P upregulates chemokine and chemokine receptor expression in primary mouse neutrophils.

Neuropeptides play an important role in the active communication between the nervous and immune systems. Substance P (SP) is a prominent neuropeptide involved in neurogenic inflammation and has been reported to exert various proinflammatory actions on inflammatory leukocytes including neutrophils. The present study further investigated the modulatory effect of SP (1 muM) on chemokine production...

MALT1 protease: a new therapeutic target in B lymphoma and beyond?

The identification of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation 1 (MALT1) as a gene that is perturbed in the B-cell neoplasm MALT lymphoma, already more than a decade ago, was the starting point for an intense area of research. The fascination with MALT1 was fueled further by the observation that it contains a domain homologous to the catalytic domain of caspases and thus, potent...
