Mutated Ptpn11 alters leukemic stem cell frequency and reduces the sensitivity of acute myeloid leukemia cells to Mcl1 inhibition
PTPN11 encodes the Shp2 non-receptor protein-tyrosine phosphatase implicated in several signaling pathways. Activating mutations in Shp2 are commonly associated with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia but are not a...

PHF6 mutations in adult acute myeloid leukemia
Loss of function mutations and deletions encompassing the plant homeodomain finger 6 (PHF6) gene are present in about 20% of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALLs). Here, we report the identification of recu...

Acute promyelocytic leukemia cell line AP-1060 established as a cytokine-dependent culture from a patient clinically resistant to all-trans retinoic acid and arsenic trioxide
AP-1060 is a newly established acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cell line from a multiple-relapse patient clinically resistant to both all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide (ATO). The line was ini...

Low expression of the myeloid differentiation antigen CD65s, a feature of poorly differentiated AML in older adults: study of 711 patients enrolled in ECOG trials
CD65s appears when the progenitor antigen CD34 disappears, suggesting that this sialylated carbohydrate antigen marks a turning point in normal myeloid differentiation. We characterized acute myeloid leukemia ...

Treatment of Poor Prognosis AML Patients Using PSC833 (Valspodar) Plus Mitoxantrone, Etoposide, and Cytarabine (PSC-MEC)
The failure of convenional chemotherapy in relapsed or refractory and other poor risk AML patients has been linked to expression of the multidrug resistance gene (mdr1) product P-glycoprotein (P-gp). PSC 833 is a...

Treatment of Poor Prognosis Acute Myelogenous Leukemia with PSC-833 and Mitoxantrone, Etoposide, Cytarabine
A major reason for failure of conventional treatment in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is primary or secondary resistance of the leukemic cells to anti-neoplastic drugs. One of these mechanisms is characterized ...
