A Novel Application of Furazolidone: Anti-Leukemic Activity in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common malignant myeloid disorder of progenitor cells in myeloid hematopoiesis and exemplifies a genetically heterogeneous disease. The patients with AML also show a heterogeneous response to therapy. Although all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) has been successfully introduced to treat acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), it is rather ineffective in non-APL A...
متن کاملDiscovery of a FLT3 inhibitor LDD1937 as an anti-leukemic agent for acute myeloid leukemia
FMS-like receptor tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) belongs to the family of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK), and the FLT3 mutation is observed in 1/3 of all acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Potential FLT3 inhibitors have been investigated as potential therapeutic agents of AML. In this study, we identified a potent FLT3 inhibitor LDD1937 containing an indirubin skeleton. The potent inhibitory acti...
متن کاملIn vitro and in vivo anti-leukemic activity of the peptidase-potentiated alkylator melflufen in acute myeloid leukemia
The novel aminopeptidase potentiated alkylating agent melflufen, was evaluated for activity in acute myeloid leukemia in a range of in vitro models, as well as in a patient derived xenograft study. All tested AML cell lines were highly sensitive to melflufen while melphalan was considerably less potent. In the HL-60 cell line model, synergy was observed for the combination of melflufen and cyta...
متن کاملThe role of microRNA in acute/chronic, myeloid/lymphocytic leukemia
MicroRNAs are small, non-coding sequences that regulate gene expression by inducing degradation or translational inhibition of target mRNAs. These molecules control many intracellular physiological and pathological processes.Abnormal expression of these moleculs has been described in different cancers including hematopoietic cancers. According to the type of cancer and the stage, miRNA’s expres...
متن کاملCDK Blockade Using AT7519 Suppresses Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cell Survival through the Inhibition of Autophagy and Intensifies the Anti-leukemic Effect of Arsenic Trioxide
The strong storyline behind the critical role of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor proteinsin natural defense against malignant transformation not only represents a heroic perspective forthese proteins, but also provides a bright future for the application of small molecule inhibitorsof CDKs in the novel cancer treatment strategies. The results of the present study revea...
