Prognostic relevance of integrated genetic profiling in acute myeloid leukemia
(2012)
BACKGROUND:
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease with respect to presentation and clinical outcome. The prognostic value of recently identified somatic mutations has not been systematically evaluated ...
Acute myeloid leukemia with translocation t(8;16) presents with features which mimic acute promyelocytic leukemia and is associated with poor prognosis
(2013)
Previous small series have suggested that acute myeloid leukemia with t(8;16) is a distinct morphologic and clinical entity associated with poor prognosis. We describe 18 patients with t(8;16) AML, including their clinical, ...
How do novel molecular genetic markers influence treatment decisions in acute myeloid leukemia?
(2012)
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common acute leukemia diagnosed in adults, and the majority of patients with AML die from relapsed disease. Although many studies over the past 4 decades have identified disease ...
ASXL1 mutations promote myeloid transformation through loss of PRC2-mediated gene repression
(2012)
Recurrent somatic ASXL1 mutations occur in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome, myeloproliferative neoplasms, and acute myeloid leukemia, and are associated with adverse outcome. Despite the genetic and clinical data ...
Effect of serum lipoproteins on stereoselective halofantrine metabolism by rat hepatocytes
(2012)
Experimental hyperlipidemia has shown to decrease cytochrome P450 3A4 and 2C11 expression and to increase liver concentrations and the plasma protein binding of halofantrine (HF) enantiomers. The present study examined the ...
Relapse-specific mutations in NT5C2 in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia
(2013)
Relapsed childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) carries a poor prognosis, despite intensive retreatment, owing to intrinsic drug resistance. The biological pathways that mediate resistance are unknown. Here, we report ...
Effect of rat serum lipoproteins on mRNA levels and amiodarone metabolism by cultured primary rat hepatocytes
(2013)
Hyperlipidemia can significantly increase amiodarone (AM) in vivo liver uptake and decrease its velocity of microsomal metabolism. Here, hepatocytes isolated from normolipidemic (NL) and hyperlipidemic rats were incubated ...
An investigation of the repeatability of calibration factors in gamma-ray spectrometry of geological materials
(2004)
A NaI(Tl)-based gamma spectrometer for the analysis of geological materials was calibrated using the IAEA reference materials RGU-1, RGTH-1 and RGK-1. To simulate typical geological samples, two additional standards were ...
OSI-930 analogues as novel reversal agents for ABCG2-mediated multidrug resistance
(2012)
OSI-930, a dual c-Kit and KDR tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is reported to have undergone a Phase I dose escalation study in patients with advanced solid tumors. A series of fifteen pyridyl and phenyl analogues of OSI-930 ...
Recurrent somatic TET2 mutations in normal elderly individuals with clonal hematopoiesis
(2012)
Abstract
Aging is characterized by clonal expansion of myeloid-biased hematopoietic stem cells and by increased risk of myeloid malignancies. Exome sequencing of three elderly females with clonal hematopoiesis, demonstrated ...
