PURPOSE Expression of the FHIT protein is lost or reduced in most solid tumors and a significant fraction of hematopoietic malignancies. Adenovirus 5 (Ad5) virus or adeno-associated viral vectors have been used to study the tumor suppressor function of FHIT in solid tumors, but these tools have not been effective in leukemias. We have generated a chimeric FHIT-containing adenovirus composed of ...

By THOMAS J. LYNCH AND WILLIAM C. MOLONEY D URING STUDIES on the induction of myelogenous leukemia in the rat, serum B12 afl(I folate activities were investigated. In man it is well known tiiat serum B1 activity is greatly elevated in chronic myelogenous leukemia ( CML ) . Less is known concerning serum folate activity hut from iiiitial reports and in our own experience, serum folate levels are...

A comparison was made between the agar and methylcellulose culture systems with respect to their ability to support the clonal growth of leukemic cells obtained from patients with acute myeloblastic leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and chronic myelogenous leukemia in blastic crisis. The num ber of clusters and/or colonies formed and the morphology of the cells within them varied from pat...

Chloroma, or granulocytic sarcoma, is a rare extramedullary solid hematologic cancer, found concomitant with acute myeloid leukemia. It is infrequently associated with other myeloproliferative disorders or chronic myelogenous leukemia. Chloroma of the testis after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation is particularly sparsely represented in the literature. It is suggested that an appropriate p...

ECENTLY DEVELOPED technics for the study of chromosomes in peripheral blood and bone marrow cells have resulted in important discoveries in the field of cytogenetics. Recognition of numerical and morphologic changes following irradiation and the identification of a characteristic defect, the Ph’ chromosome, in human chronic myelogenous leukemia ( CML) have aroused speculation on the relationshi...

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...
