LABORATORY RESEARCH
Aberrant Induction of LMO2 by the E2A-HLF Chimeric Transcription Factor and its Implication in Leukemogenesis of B Precursor ALL with t(17;19)
Research demonstrates that cell lines and a primary sample of t(17;19)-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) expressed LMO2 at significantly higher levels than other B precursor ALLs did. [Blood]
The Human Stem Cell Hierarchy is Defined by a Functional Dependence on Mcl-1 for Self-Renewal Capacity
Researchers report a role for the Bcl-2 family member myeloid cell leukemia-1 (Mcl-1) as an indispensable regulator of self-renewal in human stem cells, and show that a functional dependence on Mcl-1 defines the human stem cell hierarchy. [Blood]
BCR and BCR-ABL Regulation During Myeloid Differentiation in Healthy Donors and in Chronic Phase/Blast Crisis CML Patients
Here researchers focused on the gene expression control of BCR and BCR-ABL upon myeloid differentiation in healthy donors, chronic phase and blast crisis patients. [Leukemia]
Wnt3a Activates Dormant C-Kit-Bone Marrow Derived Cells with Short-Term Multilineage Hematopoietic Reconstitution Capacity
The study reveals that Wnt3a activates unique cell fate decisions of dormant c-kit- that promotes short-term multilineage reconstitution capacity in vivo, thereby revealing a unique role for Wnt activation in hematopoiesis. [Stem Cells]
Taspase1 Functions as a Non-Oncogene Addiction Protease that Coordinates Cancer Cell Proliferation and Apoptosis
Taspase1, the mixed lineage leukemia and TFIIAalpha-beta cleaving protease, enables cell proliferation and permits oncogenic initiation. Here, researchers show its critical role in cancer maintenance and thus offer a new anticancer target. [Cancer Res]
Inhibition of c-MET is a Potential Therapeutic Strategy for Treatment of Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma
In this study, researchers first investigated the role of c-Met in a large series of diffuse large B cell lymphoma tissues in a tissue microarray format. [Lab Invest]
CLINICAL RESEARCH
Dasatinib versus Imatinib in Newly Diagnosed Chronic-Phase Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
Dasatinib, administered once daily, as compared with imatinib, administered once daily, induced significantly higher and faster rates of complete cytogenetic response and major molecular response. [N Engl J Med]
Nilotinib versus Imatinib for Newly Diagnosed Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
Nilotinib at a dose of either 300 mg or 400 mg twice daily was superior to imatinib in patients with newly diagnosed chronic-phase Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia. [N Engl J Med]
Phase II Window Study on Rituximab in Newly Diagnosed Pediatric Mature B Cell Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and Burkitt Leukemia
Researchers conducted a Phase II window study to examine activity and tolerability of rituximab in newly diagnosed pediatric B cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. [J Clin Oncol]
Phase III Study of the Value of Thalidomide Added to Melphalan Plus Prednisone in Elderly Patients With Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma: The HOVON 49 Study
Researchers investigated the efficacy of thalidomide added to melphalan and prednisone (MP-T) in a randomized Phase III trial. The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy, toxicity, and effects on quality of life of MP-T. [J Clin Oncol]
