Protracted dormancy of pre-leukemic stem cells.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2015-11-01)
Cancer stem cells can escape therapeutic killing by adopting a quiescent or dormant state. The reversibility of this condition provides the potential for later recurrence or relapse, potentially many years later. We describe ...
Can we prevent childhood Leukaemia?
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-05-01)
Cut-and-Run: A Distinct Mechanism by which V(D)J Recombination Causes Genome Instability.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-05-02)
V(D)J recombination is essential to generate antigen receptor diversity but is also a potent cause of genome instability. Many chromosome alterations that result from aberrant V(D)J recombination involve breaks at single ...
Targeting cyclooxygenase by indomethacin decelerates progression of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in a xenograft model.
(AMER SOC HEMATOLOGY, 2019-11-12)
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) develops in the bone marrow in the vicinity of stromal cells known to promote tumor development and treatment resistance. We previously showed that the cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor ...
The Role of MicroRNA in Paediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia: Challenges for Diagnosis and Therapy.
(Hindawi Limited, 2019-10-01)
Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the most common cancer of childhood. Although the overall survival of children with ALL is now more than 90%, leukaemia remains one of the leading causes of death from disease. In ...
The role of RAS mutations in MLL-rearranged leukaemia: A path to intervention?
(ELSEVIER, 2017-12-01)
Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) with MLL rearrangement (MLL-r) is an aggressive disease still associated with a high mortality rate. Recent investigations have identified co-operating mutations in the RAS ...
The subclonal complexity of STIL-TAL1+ T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-09-01)
Single-cell genetics were used to interrogate clonal complexity and the sequence of mutational events in STIL-TAL1+ T-ALL. Single-cell multicolour FISH was used to demonstrate that the earliest detectable leukaemia subclone ...
The genomic landscape of teenage and young adult T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
(WILEY, 2021-07-01)
BACKGROUND: Treatment on risk adapted intensive pediatric protocols has improved outcome for teenagers and young adults (TYA) with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Understanding the biology of disease in this ...
Pro-inflammatory cytokines favor the emergence of ETV6-RUNX1-positive pre-leukemic cells in a model of mesenchymal niche.
(Wiley, 2020-01-01)
ETV6-RUNX1 (E/R) fusion gene, arising in utero from translocation t(12;21)(p13:q22), is the most frequent alteration in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, E/R is insufficient to cause overt leukemia ...
Expression of the fetal hematopoiesis regulator FEV indicates leukemias of prenatal origin.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-05-01)
The origin of cancers is associated with etiology as well as therapeutics. Several studies reveal that malignancies in children can originate in utero. However, a diagnostic approach to distinguish between cancers initiated ...
