Cell Kinetics in Human Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
نویسندگان
چکیده
A model for cell kinetics of human acute lymphoblastic leukemia has been constructed with discrete modeling techniques for computer use with the GPSS/360 computer Ianguage.The model has produced results corresponding to observed biological data. It has been possible to explore mechanisms for control of the growth of the leukemic cell population. In addition to the flow of cells from the resting to the proliferative phase, two other important parts of the cell life cycle, cell death and the intracellular events after mitosis, were identified as potentially important regulatory mechanisms. Chemotherapeutic drug effects could be simulated, and in the case of vincristine an unsuspected effect was suggested. This effect of vincristine on transformation of the resting cell to an active proliferative phase has been supported by studies of vincristine effect on blast transformation of phytohemagglutinin-stimulated lymphocytes. A single cell was found to take 31/2 yr to grow to a population of 1012 cells, a clinically recognizable number. Although this observation cannot be confirmed from biological studies, this time has an interesting correspondence to the peak incidence of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in childhood. It indicates that a mutational event in a single cell could account for the leukemic process in childhood acute leukemia.

متن کاملMicroRNAs as a New Molecular Biomarker for Diagnosis and Prognosis of T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL): A Systematic Review
MicroRNAs (miRNAs, miRs) are small endogenous non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of protein-encoding genes at the post-transcriptional level. Several studies have described the role of miRNAs in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), including tumor suppressor and oncogenic miRNAs. Down-regulation of miRNA expression is a prominent feature of human malignancy. This down-regulati...

Objective(s): microRNAs are small non-coding molecules that regulate gene expression in various biological processes. T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a malignancy accompanied with genetic aberrations and accounts for 20% of children’s and adult’s ALL. Notch signaling pathway dysregulation occurs in 60% of T-ALL cases. In the present study, we aimed to de...
