چکیده

To study the relationship of the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1) to the pathogenesis of chronic myelogenous leukemia, multiple B-lymphoid cell lines were established from a patient with Ph1-positive leukemia who was heterozygous for the X-chromosome-linked enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Both A and B types of enzyme were found in a 1:1 proportion in normal tissues, but 45 of 63 (71%) Ph1-negative B-lymphoid cells lines derived from this patient showed only the single glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (type B) found in the Ph1-positive leukemic clone. Furthermore, 8 of 33 analyzable lines with B-type enzyme had chromosomal aberrations compared to 0 of 14 lines with A-type glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. These results provide evidence for the suggestion that some cells of the abnormal clone do not express the Ph1 abnormality. Thus, acquisition of Ph1 may not be a sufficient cause for the disease. It is possible that at least two steps are involved in the pathogenesis of Ph1-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia, one causing abnormal proliferation of a clone of pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells and the other inducing Ph1 in descendants of these progenitors.

Pregnancy Outcome of Two Patients with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Treated with Imatinib

Although chronic myelogenous leukemia in pregnancy is rare, its management and treatment is more difficult and complicated.Treatment of patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia includes bone marrow transplantation, however in less than 30% of patients the donor’s organ would be accepted. To this end, cytotoxic therapy is considered as an alternative therapeutic option. This option provides sa...

Function of Neutrophils in Different Phases of Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia

In chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), the mature granulocytes originate from a stem cell line harboring an abnormal chromosome, therefore it is possible that metabolic-functional abnormalities occur in the morphologically mature cells. In the present study, the phagocytic activity including intracellular killing, nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction, and phagocytosis were studied in 37 CML p...

Flow Cytometry in Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Blast Crisis

Background: Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder due to BCR-ABL1 translocation. Patients showing transformation into blast crisis (BC) have poorer treatment response and prognosis.  Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in the department of Pathology, Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi, India, over a time period of 5 years (2014-2019) to evaluate the ...

MiR-570 inhibits cell proliferation and glucose metabolism by targeting IRS1 and IRS2 in human chronic myelogenous leukemia

Objective(s): Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a chronic myeloproliferative disorder characterized by the accumulation of myeloid cells with a chromosomal translocation known as the Philadelphia chromosome. In this study, we investigated the roles of miR-570 in CML development. Materials and Methods: Expression of miR-570 in CML samples and cell lines was determined by qRT-PCR. Glucose upt...
