Prognostic Impact of TP53 Mutation, Monosomal Karyotype, and Prior Myeloid Disorder in Nonremission Acute Myeloid Leukemia at allo-HSCT

Researchers analyzed prognostic gene mutations by targeted next-generation sequencing to identify predisposing factors for predicting overall survival at one month before transplantation. They enrolled 120 patients with nonremission acute myeloid leukemia who underwent first allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) between 2005 and 2018.

Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Efficacy in Patients with Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Complete Remission

Researchers retrospectively analyzed 4649 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients who received allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation and were in complete remission. Outcomes of Philadelphia chromosome-positive AML, intermediate-risk, and poor-risk AML patients were compared.

Sufficiency for Inducible Caspase-9 Safety Switch in Human Pluripotent Stem Cells and Disease Cells

Researchers used targeted gene editing to introduce the inducible Caspase-9 system into human iPSCs, and then interrogated the efficiency of inducible apoptosis with normal iPSCs as well as diseased iPSCs derived from patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

DDX5-Targeting Fully Human Monoclonal Autoantibody Inhibits Proliferation and Promotes Differentiation of Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia Cells by Increasing ROS Production

2F5 was confirmed to induce G0/G1 phase arrest in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cells, and promoted APL cell differentiation combined with decreased DDX5 expression and increased reactive oxygen species production. Knockdown of DDX5 by siRNA also inhibited proliferation, promoted cell differentiation and enhanced ROS production in APL cells.

Targeting Bim via a lncRNA Morrbid Regulates the Survival of Preleukemic and Leukemic Cells

The authors showed that a lncRNA, MORRBID, a selective transcriptional repressor of BIM, was overexpressed in human acute myeloid leukemia, which is associated with poor overall survival.
