Expression of angiogenic factors in childhood B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Pathological angiogenesis is increasingly recognized to be an important feature of pathogenesis in solid tumors and also in leukemias. Specific blockers of angiogenesis are now being introduced into early clinical trials with encouraging results. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) seems to play a central role in tumor angiogenesis and is associated with a poor prognosis in both solid tum...
متن کاملJAK2 aberrations in childhood B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia
JAK2 abnormalities may serve as target for precision medicines in pediatric B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL). In the current study we performed a screening for JAK2 mutations and translocations, analyzed the clinical outcome and studied the efficacy of two JAK inhibitors in primary BCP-ALL cells. Importantly, we identify a number of limitations of JAK inhibitor therapy. J...
متن کاملEvaluation of FOXP1 gene expression in pediatric B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients at remission induction therapy
Background: Transcription factors (TFs) play a key role in the development, therapy, and relapse of B-cell malignancies, such as B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL). Given the essential function of Forkhead box protein P1 (FOXP1) transcription factor in the early development of B-cells, this study was designed to evaluate FOXP1 gene expression levels in pediatric BCP-ALL pat...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of CD20 expression in childhood B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
CD20 expression is associated with inferior survival in adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We analyzed the prognostic impact of CD20 expression in 353 children with B-cell precursor ALL treated in 3 consecutive St Jude Total Therapy studies. CD20 expression (> 20%) was found in 169 patients (48%) and was more frequent in patients between 1 and 10 years of age than in those younger ...
متن کاملPrognostic irrelevance of CD34 expression in childhood B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Sir, Phenotypic subclassification within B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has been shown to have prognostic significance in children. Common ALL antigen (CALLA) expression in Bprecursor ALL has been associated in some, but not all, studies with a favorable outcome. According to the notion that acute leukemia is a clonal expression with maturation arrest, CD34 expression on leukemi...
