LABORATORY RESEARCH
Ferrochelatase Forms an Oligomeric Complex with Mitoferrin-1 and Abcb10 for Erythroid Heme Biosynthesis
Researchers have derived stable Friend mouse erythroleukemia cell clones expressing either Mfrn1-FLAG or Abcb10-FLAG and by affinity purification and mass spectrometry have identified ferrochelatase as an interacting protein for both Mfrn1 and Abcb10. [Blood]
Measurement of Red Blood Cell Mechanics During Morphological Changes
Here researchers apply a noncontact optical interferometric technique to quantify the thermal fluctuations of red blood cell membranes with 3 nm accuracy over a broad range of spatial and temporal frequencies. [Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A]
Successful Treatment of Metachromatic Leukodystrophy Using Bone Marrow Transplantation of HoxB4 Overexpressing Cells
To evaluate the contribution of bone marrow (BM) cells to treat neurological disorders, researchers examined the effectiveness of BM cells expressing the homeobox B4 (HoxB4) gene to cure mice with metachromatic leukodystrophy through transplantation. [Leukemia]
Transcriptional Silencing of Ets-1 Oncogene Contributes to Human Granulocytic Differentiation
This study focused on the role of Ets-1 during granulocytic differentiation of NB4 promyelocytic and HL60 myeloblastic leukemia cell lines induced by all-trans retinoic acid. [Haematologica]
Additive and Global Functions of HoxA Cluster Genes in Mesoderm Derivatives
Researchers report that mutant mice lacking the entire HoxA cluster in mesodermal lineages display a striking effect in the hematopoietic system, which involves hematopoietic stem cells as well as the erythroid lineage, indicating that several Hoxa genes are necessary for normal hematopoiesis to occur. [Dev Biol]
CD13 is Dispensable for Normal Hematopoiesis and Myeloid Cell Functions in the Mouse
Althrough CD13 is highly expressed on myeloid cells and is a reliable marker of the myeloid lineage of normal and leukemic cells, it is not a critical regulator of hematopoietic development, hemostasis, or myeloid cell function. [J Leukoc Biol]
CLINICAL RESEARCH
Nonmyeloablative Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) after high-dose conditioning regimens imposes prohibitively high risks of morbidity and mortality for patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia who are older or have comorbid conditions. Here, researchers examined outcomes after nonmyeloablative allogeneic HCT in such patients. [J Clin Oncol]
Rituximab Maintenance Treatment of Relapsed/Resistant Follicular Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma: Long-Term Outcome of the EORTC 20981 Phase III Randomized Intergroup Study
In 2006, researchers published the results of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer phase III trial EORTC 20981 on the role of rituximab in remission induction and maintenance treatment of relapsed/resistant follicular lymphoma. Now, they report the long-term outcome of maintenance treatment, with a median follow-up of 6 years. [J Clin Oncol]
Phase II and Pharmacodynamic Study of Oral Forodesine in Patients with Advanced and/or Fludarabine-Treated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Forodesine is a new and potent purine nucleoside phosphorylase inhibitor. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients with primary resistance to fludarabine-based therapy or with progressive disease were eligible for oral forodesine (200mg/day) for up-to 24 weeks. [Blood]
