[Immune Reconstitution after BTKi Treatment in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia].

Objective: To analyze the immune reconstitution after BTKi treatment in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

Methods: The clinical and laboratorial data of 59 CLL patients admitted from January 2017 to March 2022 in Fujian Medical University Union Hospital were collected and analyzed retrospectively.

Results: The median age of 59 CLL patients was 60.

The novel HLA-DQB1*04:93 allele, identified by Sanger dideoxy nucleotide sequencing in a Chinese individual.

HLA-DQB1*04:93 differs from HLA-DQB1*04:01:01:01 by one nucleotide in exon 2.

SENP2 exerts an anti‑tumor effect on chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells through the inhibition of the Notch and NF‑κB signaling pathways.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is one of the most often diagnosed hematological malignant tumors in the Western world and a type of inert B‑cell lymphoma that commonly attacks the elderly. Small ubiquitin related modifier (SUMO)‑specific protease 2 (SENP2) can act as a suppressor in various types of cancer by regulating the stability of β‑catenin to affect the Notch signaling pathway; however, it has a low expression level in CLL cells. In this study, we firstly used western blot analysis and RT‑qPCR to detect the protein and mRNA expression levels of SENP2 in the peripheral blood of patients with CLL and healthy volunteers.

[Recent Research Advances on Signaling Pathway in B-cell Malignancy - Review].

B-cell malignancy, a kind of malignant tumor of blood system, is characterized by heterogeneity and complexity of the pathogenesis. In this review, the recent advances of studies on B-cell malignancy and signaling pathways are briefly summarized. This review focuses on the role of signaling pathways, especially the NF-κ B, Wnt, PI3K/Akt, Notch and JAK/STAT signaling pathway in the occurrence and development of B-cell malignancy, and discussed the influence of signaling pathways on the invasiveness and drug resistance of B-cell malignancy, and the clinical application of signaling pathway inhibitors.

[Expression of Notch Gene and Its Role of Anti-apoptosis and Drug-resistance of Cells in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia].

Objective: To investigate the expression of Notch gene in chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells and to explore the change of Notch protein after the therapy with cytosine arabinoside or dexmethasone, and the mechanism of Notch mediated anti-apoptosis and drug-resistance in chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells.

Methods: The mononuclear cells from bone marrow or peripheral blood of chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients (24 cases) and healthy donors (14 cases) were collected, then the expression of Notch gene, BCL-2, as well as NF-κB gene were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) at the level of transcription. The change of Notch protein in L1210 cell lines after therapy with cytosine arabinoside and dexmethasone was determined by Western blot.

Constitutive activation of NF-κB signaling by NOTCH1 mutations in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

NOTCH1 mutations occur in approximately 10% of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). However, the relationship between the genetic aberrations and tumor cell drug resistance or disease progression remains unclear. Frameshift deletions were detected by gene sequencing in the NOTCH1 PEST domain in three naive CLL patients.

[Notch signal pathway and chronic lymphocytic leukemia].

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), an indolent B-cell malignancy, is characterized by heterogeneity of the clinical course. Notch signaling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved signaling pathway and involved in the normal regulation of cell survival, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and other physiological processes. In recent years, more and more researchers study the relationship between Notch signaling pathway and chronic lymphocytic leukemia and have found that Notch molecules present in CLL cells with high expression or mutation, which associated with the prognosis, anti-apoptosis, drug-resistance and so on.

[Clinical analysis on 40 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia].

This study was aimed to analyze the clinical and laboratorial characteristics of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), as well as their relationship with outcomes of patients. The clinical and laboratorial data of 40 CLL patients admitted from 2004 to 2010 in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively. The results indicated that the most of CLL attacked the elderly male patients with median age 66 (from 42 to 80).

[A case of Richter syndrome transformed from chronic lymphocytic leukemia with karyotype aberration of trisomy 12].

This study was aimed to investigate the relationship between Richter's syndrome (RS) transformation and clinical characteristics as well as karyotype of patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). By the follow-up of a patient with CLL, the clinical characteristics, karyotype, treatment pattern and its effect, as well as disease progression were monitored regularly with serological test, flow cytometry and FISH technique. The results indicated that the patient typically presented with history of CLL at initial diagnosis, with expression of CD5(+), CD19(+) and CD23(+), Binet stage C, as well as karyotype aberration of trisomy 12, and poorly responded to 4 cycles of standard chemotherapy of FCR regimen.

Isolation and characterization of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells with hematopoiesis-supportive function and other potentials.

Background And Objectives: Adult bone marrow (BM) is the major source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) for cell therapy. However, aspiration of BM involves invasive procedures. We isolated MSC from human full term umbilical cord tissues (UC).

Bone marrow stromal cells transduced with human hemangiopoietin gene support hematopoiesis in vitro.

Background And Objectives: The aim of this study was to construct a eukaryotic expression vector containing human hemangiopoietin (hHAPO) gene and express it in mouse bone marrow stromal cell line HESS-5, then support hematopoiesis in vitro with gene-modified HESS-5 (hHAPO-HESS-5).

Design And Methods: The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products of HAPO were digested with BamHI and BgII. Then the HAPO gene segment obtained was again cloned into pIRES2-EGFP to construct recombinant eukaryotic expression vector HAPO-pIRES2-EGFP.
