Assessment of Thiopurine–based drugs according to Thiopurine S-methyltransferase genotype in patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
For the past half century, thiopurines have earned themselves a reputation as effective anti-cancer and immunosuppressive drugs. Thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) is involved in the metabolism of all thiopurines and is one of the main enzymes that inactivates mercaptopurine. 6-MP is now used as a combination therapies for maintenance therapy of children with acute lymphocytic leukemia (A...
متن کاملEpigenetic effects of decitabine on acute lymphoblastic and acute promyelocytic leukemia cells
Background: Decitabine (5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine, DAC) is a deoxycytidine analog currently used as an effective drug against myelodysplastic syndromes and acute myeloid leukemia. Although various studies have pointed out the epigenetic effects of this drug, its epigenetic mechanisms in different leukemic cell lines are not specified. In this lab trial study, possible epigenetic effects of decitab...
متن کاملDetection of R882 Mutations in DNMT3A Gene in Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Method Comparison Study
Background: Somatic mutations in the hotspot region of the DNA-methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) gene were recurrently identified in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It is believed that DNMT3A mutations confer an adverse prognosis for AML patients. These lines of evidence support the need for a rapid and cost-efficient method for the detection of these mutations. The present study aimed to establish h...
متن کاملAssociation of TPMT (rs1800460) Gene Polymorphism with Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in a Population from Guilan, Iran
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a malignant transformation and proliferation of lymphoid progenitor cells in bone marrow and blood, which is mainly found in children. Thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) is a thiopurine drug metabolizer enzyme that is prescribed for the treatment of ALL. Several single nucleotide polymorphisms in the TPMT gene have been reported to be associated with the d...
متن کاملMutational landscape of adult ETP-ALL
T-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (TALL) accounts for approximately 25% of adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Improving therapy is a major challenge as outcome in adult TALL remains unsatisfactory for the majority of patients [1]. The subgroup of early T-cell precursor (ETP) ALL recently gained great interest [2] due to the fact that this subgroup in pediatric TALL patients was clinically...
