All-trans retinoic acid in acute promyelocytic leukemias. II. In vitro studies: structure-function relationship.

چکیده
All-trans retinoic acid induces leukemic cells from patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (M3) to differentiate in vitro to mature granulocytes which express the CD15 antigen and are capable of respiratory burst function. Of 35 M3 samples, only one failed to respond. In eight cases, we compared the efficacy of two naturally occurring isomers of retinoic acid, all-trans RA and 13-cis RA. Both isomers induce maximal differentiation at 10(-6) mol/L. The maximal response was maintained at 10(-7) mol/L for the all-trans but not for the 13-cis RA. We also observed that the metabolites 4-oxo-all-trans and 4-oxo-13-cis were effective at 10(-6) mol/L. This 1 order of magnitude difference in the in vitro differentiating potencies of all-trans RA and 13-cis RA in the blasts of promyelocytic leukemias predicts a difference in the clinical efficacy of the two drugs.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a sub-type of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) which occurs in about 10-15% of patients with AML. Approximately 20-30% of these patients, who are treated with the current standard All trans retinoic Acid(ATRA) and anthracyclines-based chemotherapy regimen, suffer relapse in less than a year. Arsenic trioxide (ATO), as a single agent, can induce ...
متن کاملSynergy against PML-RARa: targeting transcription, proteolysis, differentiation, and self-renewal in acute promyelocytic leukemia
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a hematological malignancy driven by a chimeric oncoprotein containing the C terminus of the retinoic acid receptor-a (RARa) fused to an N-terminal partner, most commonly promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML). Mechanistically, PML-RARa acts as a transcriptional repressor of RARa and non-RARa target genes and antagonizes the formation and function of PML nucl...

Molecular basis for the diagnosis and treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia
Acute promyelocytic leukemia is characterized by gene rearrangements that always involve the retinoic acid receptor alpha on chromosome 15. In the majority of patients t(15;17) is detected, which generates the promyelocytic leukemia gene/retinoic acid receptor alpha rearrangement. This rearrangement interacts with several proteins, including the native promyelocytic leukemia gene, thus causing ...

Twenty-four patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (API) were treated with all-trans retinoic acid (45 to 100 mg/m2/day). Of these. eight cases had been either nonresponsive or resistant to previous chemotherapy; the other 1 6 cases were previously untreated. All patients attained complete remission without developing bone marrow hypoplasia. Bone marrow suspension cultures were studied in 1...
