Specific cutaneous manifestations in adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma
Background and aim: Adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is an aggresive malignancy which may occur in human T lymphotropic virus1(HTLV1) infected persons. HTLV1 is endemic in Khorasan with prevalence of 2.3% in general population. Since specific cutaneous manifestations of lymphoma may occur in a significant number of patients, we studied ATLL patients in Mashhad.Mate...
متن کاملAn investigation of 2'-deoxycoformycin in the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
We have investigated the use of 2'-deoxycoformycin (DCF), a potent inhibitor of adenosine deaminase (ADA), in the treatment of 4 patients with advanced mycosis fungoides (MF). Since DCF has demonstrated an adverse effect in vitro and in vivo on the survival of leukemia T-cell lines, it appeared reasonable to examine its effect in patients with advanced cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. A total of 8 co...
متن کاملT-cell large granular lymphocytic leukaemia: successful response to 2-deoxycoformycin.
We report a 25-year-old woman with T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukaemia presenting with severe neutropenia, anaemia and recurrent infections with a chronic disease course. Immunophenotyping showed an expansion of CD3+, TCRgamma delta+, CD4-, CD5+, CD7+, CD8+, CD57+ large granular lymphocytes. Clonality was demonstrated with T-gamma polymerase chain reaction analysis which revealed clonal...
متن کاملAltered expression of cell cycle regulators in adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma patients
Abstract Background: Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is caused by human T-cell lymphotropic virus type-1 (HTLV-1). HTLV-1 oncogenes can induce malignancy through controlled gene expression of cell cycle checkpoints in the host cell. HTLV-I genes play a pivotal role in overriding cell cycle checkpoints and deregulate cellular division. In this study, we aimed to determine and comp...
متن کاملSynergy between parthenolide and arsenic trioxide in adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma cells in vitro
Objective(s): Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is an aggressive lymphoid malignancy with low survival rate and distinct geographical distribution. In search for novel chemotherapeutics against ATLL, we investigated the combinatorial effects of parthenolide, a sesquiterpene lactone with valuable pharmaceutical activities, and arsenic trioxide (ATO) in vitro</em...
