MEK inhibition enhances ABT-737-induced leukemia cell apoptosis via prevention of ERK-activated MCL-1 induction and modulation of MCL-1/BIM complex
Recently, strategies for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) therapy have been developed that target anti-apoptotic BCL2 family members using BH3-mimetic drugs such as ABT-737. Though effective against BCL2 and BCL-XL, ...

Improved detection of colorectal neoplasms with selective use of chromoendoscopy in 2005 consecutive patients
Colorectal cancer mortality is decreased by endoscopic polypectomy, but conventional colonoscopy may be inadequate for detecting subtle colonic lesions.

Quantitative single cell determination of ERK phosphorylation and regulation in relapsed and refractory primary acute myeloid leukemia
We investigated the constitutive activation of the MEK/ERK pathway in acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) via a flow cytometric technique to quantitate expression of phosphorylated ERK (p-ERK). A total of 42 AML ...

PKC α mediates chemoresistance in acute lymphoblastic leukemia through effects on Bcl2 phosphorylation
Overexpression of protein kinase C α (PKC α) promotes Bcl2 phosphorylation and chemoresistance in human acute leukemia cells. The contribution of non-Bcl2 mechanisms in this process is currently unknown. In this ...

Cell cycle regulation and induction of apoptosis by IL-6 variants on the multiple myeloma cell line XG-1
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) serum levels and the proliferative activity of bone marrow plasma cells have been described as important prognostic factors for survival duration in multiple myeloma (MM) patients. Since ...

Preclinical Evaluation of Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor/Interleukin 3 Fusion Protein (PIXY 321) in Acute Myeloid Leukemic Cells
Hemopoietic growth factors (GFs) can stimulate proliferation of leukemia cells, such effect furnished a rationale for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treatment based on priming of quiescent blasts into cell cycle...
