Sensitivity of Human Leukemic Cells to Carvedilol
Background and Objective: Carvedilol, a non-specific β-blocker, has been used for treatment of hypertension, stroke and congestive heart failure. The therapeutic effects of β blockers in cancer patients have been shown. Carvedilol has considerable anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and anti-angiogenic properties. In this study, the effects of carvedilol on proliferation of human U937 and Molt-4 leuk...
متن کاملInhibition of Cyclin-dependent Kinase (CDK) Decreased Survival of NB4 Leukemic Cells: Proposing a p53-Independent Sensitivity of Leukemic Cells to Multi-CDKs Inhibitor AT7519
An unbounded number of events exist beneath the intricacy of each particular hematologic malignancy, prompting the tumor cells into an unrestrained proliferation and invasion. Aberrant expression of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) is one of these events which disrupts regulation of cell cycle and subsequently, results in cancer progression. In this study, we surveyed the repressive impact of mu...
متن کاملExpression Profile of Wnt Molecules in Leukemic Cells from Iranian Patients with Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia
Background: Wnt molecules play a key role in growth, proliferation and development of some embryonic and adult organs as well as hematopoietic stem cells. Wnt signaling pathways are aberrantly activated in many tumor types, including solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. Objective: To investigate the expression profile of a large number of Wnt genes in leukemic cells from Iranian patients ...
متن کاملImmortalization of human AE pre-leukemia cells by hTERT allows leukemic transformation
Human CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) expressing fusion protein AML1-ETO (AE), generated by the t(8;21)(q22;q22) rearrangement, manifest enhanced self-renewal and dysregulated differentiation without leukemic transformation, representing a pre-leukemia stage. Enabling replicative immortalization via telomerase reactivation is a crucial step in cancer development. However, A...
متن کاملLeukemic stem cells show the way.
The blood-related cancer leukemia was the first disease where human cancer stem cells (CSCs), or leukemic stem cells (LSCs), were isolated. The hematopoietic system is one of the best tissues for investigating cancer stem cells, since the developmental hierarchy of normal blood formation is well defined. Leukemia can now be viewed as aberrant hematopoietic processes initiated by rare leukemic s...
