Introduction . Identical twins are a unique model that can be used to assess the concordance of various diseases, including acute leukemia. It should noted leukemia is characterized with high in cases monovular or placentas adhesion, which confirms development this disease prenatal period. Aim — present clinical case successful diagnosis and treatment lymphoblastic identical twins. Main finding...

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is predominantly found in children. It is a neoplasm of precursor cells or lymphoblasts committed to either a B- or T-cell lineage. The immature cells in B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma can be small or medium sized with scant or moderate cytoplasm and typically express B-cell markers such as CD19, cytoplasmic CD79a, and TdT without surface light chains. Thes...

Hypertension causes cardiac hypertrophy and leads to heart failure. Apoptotic cells are common in hypertensive hearts. Ca2+ /calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is associated with apoptosis. We recently demonstrated that gallic acid reduces nitric oxide synthase inhibition-induced hypertension. Gallic acid is a trihydroxybenzoic acid and has been shown to have beneficial effects, su...

Cisplatin is an effective chemotherapeutic drug used to treat many types of tumours. However, it may cause male reproductive toxicity. Gallic acid exhibits beneficial effects such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antitumor. The current study investigated the gallic against testis epididymis toxicity induced by cisplatin. Male rats were divided into 4 groups follows (n = 7): Control, cispla...

Differently from the antiapoptotic action most commonly assigned to peroxisome proliferators (PPs), we demonstrated that some of them, clofibrate (CF) in particular, display clearcut apoptogenic properties on rat hepatoma cell lines. We and others could confirm that CF as well as various other PPs can induce apoptosis in a variety of cells, including human liver, breast and lung cancer cell lin...

Various CD7-targeting immunotoxins have been tested for its potential in treating CD7+ malignant patients but none of those immunotoxins was approved clinically because of lacking enough efficacy and safety. Here we successfully constructed the monovalent and bivalent CD7 nanobody-based immunotoxins PG001 and PG002, both conjugated with a truncated derivative of Pseudomonas exotoxin A respectiv...

T-Cell Acute Lym-phoblastic Leukemia In article number 2205854, Jingjing Ye, Min Ji, Chunyan and co-workers observed aberrant adipogenesis in the bone marrow of chemotherapy-treated T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) patients, differentiated-adipocytes attract support residual T-ALL cells. Last, an SREBF1 inhibitor demonstrates superior improvement on therapeutic effect dexamethason by...

Oncoprotein E2a/Pbx1 is produced by the t(1;19) chromosomal translocation of human pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia. E2a/Pbx1 blocks differentiation of primary myeloid progenitors but, paradoxically, induces apoptosis in established pre-B-cell lines, and no transforming function of E2a/Pbx1 has been reported in cultured lymphoid progenitors. Here, we demonstrate that E2a/Pbx1 induces immortal...

In the current study, we examined whether ligation of CB2 receptors would lead to induction of apoptosis in tumors of immune origin and whether CB2 agonist could be used to treat such cancers. Exposure of murine tumors EL-4, LSA, and P815 to delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in vitro led to a significant reduction in cell viability and an increase in apoptosis. Exposure of EL-4 tumor cells to ...

acute leukemia is characterized by the accumulation of neoplastic cells in the bone marrow and peripheral blood. currently, chemotherapy and differentiating agents have been used for the treatment of leukemia. recently, plant extracts, either alone or in combination with chemo agents, have been proposed to be used for the treatment of cancers. the aim of the present research was to study the cy...
