Retinoic acid and arsenic trioxide for acute promyelocytic leukemia.
BACKGROUND All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) with chemotherapy is the standard of care for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), resulting in cure rates exceeding 80%. Pilot studies of treatment with arsenic trioxide with or without ATRA have shown high efficacy and reduced hematologic toxicity. METHODS We conducted a phase 3, multicenter trial comparing ATRA plus chemotherapy with ATRA plus arsen...
متن کاملAcute Promyelocytic Leukemia: All-Trans-Retinoic Acid Era
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is highly curable with the combination of all retinoic acid (ATRA) and anthracycline based chemotherapy, but the percentage of early deaths remains high. In the present study, we report the clinical, immunophenotypi molecular characteristics and outcome of APL patients diagnosed and treated in various Hospitals of Greece and Cyprus. We describe the data of nin...
متن کاملRetinoic Acid and Arsenic for Treating Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia
A cute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) was fi rst identifi ed as a distinct subtype of acute myeloid leukemia in 1957 by Leif Hillestad. It is called M3 in the French–American–British classifi cation, with a variant type referred to as microgranular (M3v in the French– American–British nomenclature) [1]. APL is characterized by three features: (1) the presence of an accumulation of abnormal promye...
متن کاملCombined staurosporine and retinoic acid induces differentiation in retinoic acid resistant acute promyelocytic leukemia cell lines
All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) resistance has been a critical problem in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) relapsed patients. In ATRA resistant APL cell lines NB4-R1 and NB4-R2, the combination of staurosporine and ATRA synergized to trigger differentiation accompanied by significantly enhanced protein level of CCAAT/enhancer binding protein ε (C/EBPε) and C/EBPβ as well as the phosphorylation...
متن کاملAnalysis of Promyelocytic Leukemia in Human Embryonic Carcinoma Stem Cells During Retinoic Acid-Induced Neural Differentiation
Background: Promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) is a tumor suppressor protein that is involved in myeloid cell differentiation in response to retinoic acid (RA). In addition, RA acts as a natural morphogen in neural development. Objectives: This study aimed to examine PML gene expression in different stages of in vitro neural differentiation of NT2 cells, and to investigate the possible role o...
