چکیده

In this issue of Blood, Krysov et al demonstrate that B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) results in partial activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR).

Novel targets for endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis in B-CLL.

A better understanding of apoptotic signaling in B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) cells may help to define new therapeutic strategies. This study investigated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress signaling in spontaneous apoptosis of B-CLL cells and whether manipulating ER stress increases their apoptosis. Results show that a novel ER stress-triggered caspase cascade, initiated by caspase-4 ...

Umbelliprenin Induces Apoptosis in CLL Cell Lines

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) remains an incurable disease that requires innovative new approaches to improve therapeutic outcome. Many Ferula species, including F. asa-foetida, synthesize terpenyloxy coumarins. One of these coumarins is umbelliprenin, which has been implicated with induction of apoptosis in some cancer cell lines. In this study induction of apoptosis by umbellipre...

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia, biology, new diagnosis and treatment: review article

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a malignancy of B CD5+cells and is the most common type of leukemia in adults. The disease is more common in men over 50 years in western countries. CLL is associated with defective apoptosis in B cells. CLL was traditionally regarded as a disease that occurs before naïve B cells meet the antigen in the lymph nodes. Laboratory diagnosis requires white blood...

Diagnosis of B-CLL Leukemia Using Fractal Dimension

Background:Leukemia is cancer of blood and bone marrow cells. In general, there are four types of leukemia: chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Fractal geometry can be introduced as one of the effective ways to detect this type of cancer. In this study, with introduc...
