Differentiation Therapy of Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a predominant acute leukemia among adults, characterized by accumulation of malignantly transformed immature myeloid precursors. A very attractive way to treat myeloid leukemia, which is now called 'differentiation therapy', was proposed as in vitro studies have shown that a variety of agents stimulate differentiation of the cell lines isolated from leukemic pati...
متن کاملRetinoid Differentiation Therapy for Common Types of Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Many cancers arise in a tissue stem cell, and cell differentiation is impaired resulting in an accumulation of immature cells. The introduction of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) in 1987 to treat acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), a rare subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), pioneered a new approach to obtain remission in malignancies by restoring the terminal maturation of leukemia cells re...
متن کاملTherapy of Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common type of acute leukemia in adults1. Over the past twenty years, the studies on the pathogenesis and prognosis of AML have made considerable progress. Clinically, patients with AML typically present with signs or symptoms of bone marrow failure, although sometimes they can present with symptoms of leukostasis with pulmonary or neurological dysfuncti...
متن کاملGefitinib induces myeloid differentiation of acute myeloid leukemia.
Cure rates for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remain low despite ever-increasing dose intensity of cytotoxic therapy. In an effort to identify novel approaches to AML therapy, we recently reported a new method of chemical screening based on the modulation of a gene expression signature of interest. We applied this approach to the discovery of AML-differentiation-promoting compounds....
