Temporal Multiomic Modeling Reveals a B-Cell Receptor Proliferative Program in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Using an original ex vivo model of B-cell receptor-induced proliferation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells, researchers generated 108 temporal transcriptional and proteomic profiles from one hour up to four days after BCR activation.

Very Long Chain Fatty Acid Metabolism Is Required in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Genetic attenuation or pharmacological inhibition of VLCAD hindered mitochondrial respiration and fatty acid oxidation contribution to the TCA cycle, resulting in decreased viability, proliferation, clonogenic growth and acute myeloid leukemia cell engraftment.

Oxidative Phosphorylation Enhances the Leukemogenic Capacity and Resistance to Chemotherapy of B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) cells with a low SoNar ratio had enhanced mitochondrial respiration capacity, mainly resided in the vascular niche, and were enriched with more functional leukemia-initiating cells than that of SoNar-high cells in a murine B-ALL model.

SUMOylation Disassembles the Tetrameric Pyruvate Kinase M2 to Block Myeloid Differentiation of Leukemia Cells

Scientists found that SUMOylation of the M2 isoform of pyruvate kinase, a rate-limiting glycolytic enzyme catalyzing the dephosphorylation of phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate, is prevalent in a variety of leukemic cell lines as well as primary samples from patients with leukemia through multiple-reaction monitoring based targeted mass spectrometry analysis.

Dynamic Immune Profiling Identifies the Stronger Graft-Versus-Leukemia (GVL) Effects With Haploidentical Allografts Compared to HLA-Matched Stem Cell Transplantation

Researchers employed two nonirradiated leukemia mouse models which carried human AML-ETO or MLL-AF9 fusion gene to establish haplo-identical and major histocompatibility-matched transplantation models and investigated the immune cell dynamic response during leukemia development in vivo.

Overcoming Target Epitope Masking Resistance that Can Occur on Low-Antigen-Expresser AML Blasts after IL-1RAP Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Therapy Using the Inducible Caspase 9 Suicide Gene Safety Switch

As acute myeloid leukemia (AML) primary blasts express different levels of accessory protein of the interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1RAP), scientists modeled transduction of different AML tumor cell lines screened for density of antigenic sites with their lentiviral vectors carrying a third-generation IL-1RAP chimeric antigen receptor, an iCASP9 suicide gene, and a truncated CD19 surface gene.

USP15 Deubiquitinase Safeguards Hematopoiesis and Genome Integrity in Hematopoietic Stem Cells and Leukemia Cells

The authors systematically inactivated deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) in mouse hematopoietic progenitors using in vivo small hairpin RNA (shRNA) screens. They found that multiple DUBs may be individually required for hematopoiesis and identify ubiquitin-specific protease 15 (USP15) as essential for hematopoietic stem cell maintenance in vitro and in transplantations and Usp15 knockout (KO) mice in vivo.
