Open AccessAutocrine insulin-like growth factor 1 and stem cell factor but not interleukin 6 support self-renewal of human myeloma cells
In this study, we have identified the growth factors supporting myeloma self-renewal in eight myeloma cell lines. All cell lines able to form self-colonies displayed constitutive P-AKT and P-ERK1,2 but not P-S...

Flow cytometry and IG/TCR quantitative PCR for minimal residual disease quantitation in acute lymphoblastic leukemia: a French multicenter prospective study on behalf of the FRALLE, EORTC and GRAALL
Minimal residual disease (MRD) quantification is widely used for therapeutic stratification in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). A robust, reproducible, sensitivity of at least 0.01% has been achie...

Mcl-1 is overexpressed in multiple myeloma and associated with relapse and shorter survival
We and others have shown that Mcl-1 was essential for the survival of human myeloma cells in vitro. Furthermore, this antiapoptotic protein is upregulated by interleukin-6, which plays a critical role in multiple...

Ploidy, as detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization, defines different subgroups in multiple myeloma
Ploidy appears as an important parameter in both the biology and the clinical evolution of multiple myeloma. However, its evaluation requires either a successful karyoty** (obtained in 30% of the patients) o...

Farnesyl transferase inhibitor R115777 induces apoptosis of human myeloma cells
R115777, a nonpeptidomimetic farnesyl transferase inhibitor has recently demonstrated a significant antileukemic activity in vivo in acute myeloid leukemia. Multiple myeloma (MM) is a fatal hematological malignan...

Use of pathology-specific peripheral blood CD34 thresholds to predict leukapheresis CD34 content with optimal accuracy: a bicentric analysis of 299 leukaphereses
CD34+ cell counts in peripheral blood (PB) and corresponding numbers of CD34+ cells and colony-forming units-granulocyte/macrophage (CFU-GM) in 299 leukapheresis products of 209 patients undergoing PB progeni...

Differential expression of Bcl-2 in human plasma cell disorders according to proliferation status and malignancy
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignancy characterized by a very slow proliferation of malignant plasma cells leading to their accumulation within the bone marrow. This suggests that resistance to apoptosis may p...

The absence of CD56 (NCAM) on malignant plasma cells is a hallmark of plasma cell leukemia and of a special subset of multiple myeloma
In this study, we show that malignant plasma cells from patients with either primary (n = 12) or secondary (n = 15) plasma cell leukemia (PCL) do not express CD56 at all, neither in the bone marrow nor the periph...

Effects of bistramide A on a non-small-cell bronchial carcinoma line
The antiproliferative effects of bistramide A, a nitrogenous dilactam polyether fromLissoclinum bistratum Sluiter (Urochordata), were studied at the level of the cell cycle in asynchronous cells of the NSCLCN6-L1...

Endothelial cell growth regulation by PGE1 analog misoprostol and indomethacin
The role of prostaglandins on growth regulation of different cell types was investigated. We studied the effect of exogenous misoprostol in the presence or absence of indomethacin on the cell growth kinetics. .....
